Control Of A Grid-Tied Single-Phase Inverter For Renewable Energy Integration, Dianzhi Yu Jan 2020

Control Of A Grid-Tied Single-Phase Inverter For Renewable Energy Integration, Dianzhi Yu

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

With increasing demand for generating electricity from clean energy, renewable energy sources (RESs), such as wind and solar, has gained much attention due to the clean and quiet characteristics. In many applications, connecting multiple RESs of different types (e.g., wind and solar), voltages, and capacities to a power grid or load is required. Single- phase inverters have been widely installed in residential power system to meet the full or partial load demand. In this work, multiport converters were developed for integrating multiple RESs, wind turbine and photovoltaic (PV) panel. Since the intermittent characteristic of the RESs, an energy storage device, …


Fault Detection And Classification Of A Single Phase Inverter Using Artificial Neural Networks, Ayomikun Samuel Orukotan Jan 2020

Fault Detection And Classification Of A Single Phase Inverter Using Artificial Neural Networks, Ayomikun Samuel Orukotan

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The detection of switching faults of power converters or the Circuit Under Test (CUT) is real-time important for safe and efficient usage. The CUT is a single-phase inverter. This thesis presents two unique methods that rely on backpropagation principles to solve classification problems with a two-layer network. These mathematical algorithms or proposed networks are able to diagnose single, double, triple, and multiple switching faults over different iterations representing range of frequencies. First, the fault detection and classification problems are formulated as neural network-based classification problems and the neural network design process is clearly described. Then, neural networks are trained over …
