Converter-Based Microgrid Testing Platform Development And Fault Detection Method For Inverter-Based Resources By Utilizing Instantaneous Power Theory, Nattapat Praisuwanna
Doctoral Dissertations
Renewable energy sources (RESs) are rapidly being installed into electric systems. Most RESs are inverter-based distributed generations (IDGs). To better manage energy from IDGs, microgrids will play a crucial role. However, microgrids that have high penetration of IDG will have modification in fault current levels and bidirectional power flow causing protective devices to misoperate, so the traditional protection system does not correctly function in the microgrids. Therefore, the integration of IDGs into the microgrids establishes some significant consequences on protection systems.
Overcurrent protection is widely utilized in the electric distribution systems today; however, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between …

A Hybrid Computer To Solve The Selective Harmonic Minimization Problem In Single-Phase Inverters, Dillon Nguyen
Master's Theses
Power electronics possess forms of non-ideality due to the nonlinearity present in physical switches. These switches are driven with pulse width modulation (PWM), which properly down-converts or up-converts based on converter topology. When these switches turn on or off, they introduce the main proponent of efficiency loss: harmonics. This becomes a nonlinear optimization problem with many converters. The solution proposed in this thesis is an analog/digital hybrid computer that utilizes the speed of analog computation and the accuracy of digital computing together. A Plexim RT Box provides the programmability needed for algorithms, while the analog circuit provides low-power, high-speed computation …

Graph-Based Modeling And Optimization Of Wpt Systems For Evs, Matthew J. Hansen, Greg Droge, Abhilash Kamineni
Electrical and Computer Engineering Student Research
A model of a system of wireless power transfer (WPT) pads is developed, where each WPT pad is modeled as a node and the coupling between pads is modeled as graph edges. This modeling approach is generalized to admit primary, secondary, and booster coils, where power can flow among the pads and a pad can fill multiple roles. An excitation in one pad induces voltage and current in all neighboring pads, causing each pad to act as both a booster coil and either a transmitter or a receiver. Power flow through the entire system can be modeled with the graph …

Optimization Of Reactive Power Compensation Settings For Solar Power Plants In Volt/Var Mode, Samuel Eniola Aremu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Due to advancements in smart inverter technologies, distributed energy resources, such as solar photovoltaic systems, can contribute to network voltage and reactive power regulation in accordance with the IEEE 1547a standard. Depending on the penetration level, the solar photovoltaic system often causes a voltage rise at its connection point and surrounding nodes.
To resolve the voltage rise issue, utilities and developers use strategies like voltage/Var (Volt/Var) and voltage/wattage (Volt/Watt) control, among others. Some electric utilities prefer the Volt/Var control. During Volt/Var operation, PV inverters, based on the Volt/Var settings, can consume reactive power from the network when the voltage at …

Surface Treatments' Effects On The Capacitor's Dielectric Performance Under Electro-Thermal Stresses, Haider. M. Umran, Feipeng Wang
Karbala International Journal of Modern Science
Biaxial-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films are characterized by unfavorable aging behavior because of their poor susceptibility to high temperatures, humidity, and high electric fields. This makes them unqualified to withstand harsh operating conditions, such as in capacitor applications. This study investigates the impact of annealing BOPP samples at 100 °C for five hours after fluorination at different times (15, 30, and 60 minutes) on their electrical and mechanical performance under electro-thermal stresses. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images confirm that there is an increase in surface roughness and the formation of a dense layer of fluorine-containing groups monotonically with fluorination time. So, …

A New Method To Start Loaded Induction Motors, Omar El-Sayed Mohammed Youssef
Journal of Engineering Research
Three-phase induction motors have a widespread use in industry, and starting of loaded induction motors is an important matter. However, there are few studies on motor starting using variable-frequency drives (VFDs). The existing control schemes, described by these studies, have disadvantages such as dependence on derived characteristics, adjustment of settings, design of controllers, or burden of calculations on the control processor. In this paper, a simple and effective control scheme of VFDs to start loaded motors is proposed.

Gpu Based Monte Carlo Estimation Of Eddy Current Losses In Electromagnetic Coil-Core System, Adwaith Ravichandran
Gpu Based Monte Carlo Estimation Of Eddy Current Losses In Electromagnetic Coil-Core System, Adwaith Ravichandran
Theses and Dissertations
A novel parallelizable probabilistic approach to model eddy currents in AC electromagnets is presented in this research. Consequently, power loss associated with the formation of these eddy currents is estimated and validated using experimental data. Furthermore, predicting the effect of ferromagnetic alternating field enhancement on power loss in the source excitation winding has been an active area of research. Unlike a stationary field, an alternating sinusoidal field diffuses partially into the ferromagnetic material leading to a predictably sub-optimal field enhancement. To model these physics, finite element techniques employ nonlinear iterative solvers which are time consuming. A novel method is developed …
