[IEEE 2018 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) - Portland, OR, USA (2018.9.23-2018.9.27)] 2018 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) - High-Efficiency Weight-Optimized Fault-Tolerant Modular Multi-Cell Three-Phase GaN Inverter for Next Generation Aerospace Applications
摘要： The aircraft industry demands a significant increase in terms of efficiency and gravimetric power density of power converters for next generation aerospace applications. Between the two minimum targets, i.e. an efficiency > 98 % and a gravimetric power density > 10 kW/kg, the specification concerning the converter weight is the most challenging to fulfill. Since cooling systems and magnetic components dominate the weight breakdown of conventional converter concepts, multi-cell topologies, enabling improved semiconductors performance and reduced filtering requirements, are foreseen as promising solutions for the power electronics on board of More Electric Aircraft. On the other hand, the necessary simultaneous operation of a high number of cells inevitably limits the reliability of multi-cell converters if redundancy is not provided. In this paper, a favorable scaling trend of power density with respect to reliability, aiming to guarantee fault-tolerant operation without affecting the performance figures, is identified in modular multi-cell converters. Thus, a 45 kW weight-optimized modular multi-cell three-phase inverter featuring a redundant power stage is optimized, achieving an efficiency of 99 % and a gravimetric power density of 22.8 kW/kg.

摘要： This manuscript details a design method for a 500kW solar power based microgrid system for space applications. The design method utilizes multi-objective optimization with the Genetic Algorithm considering four parameters that characterize solar power based microgrids (battery voltage, PV maximum power, PV maximum power point voltage, and number of panels per string). The final optimization metric is the ratio of daily average deliverable power to total system mass (W/kg) metric. The microgrid system is composed of a number of modular DC-DC micro-converters, of which four topologies (buck, boost, buck-boost and non-inverting buck-boost) are evaluated and compared. The non-inverting buck-boost converter is determined to be the best candidate, and the optimal system characteristics are provided and analyzed. The final system design achieves a specific power of 35.56W/kg, with optimized result of 743.7V battery voltage, 439.5W PV maximum power, 182.7V PV maximum voltage, and three panels per string. Based on the optimizations results, a prototype is designed, tested, and analyzed in terms of efficiency and low temperature reliability. The converter achieved a peak efficiency of 98.4%, a power density of 3.54W/cm3, a specific power of 3.76W/g, and operated for over 267 hours of 11-minute low temperature cycles from 0oC to -140oC.

A CMOS-Based Energy Harvesting Approach for Laterally Arrayed Multibandgap Concentrated Photovoltaic Systems
摘要： This article presents an energy harvesting approach for a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system based on cell-block-level integrated CMOS converters. The CPV system, built upon the laterally arrayed multibandgap (LAMB) cell structure, is a potentially higher-efficiency and lower-cost alternative to traditional tandem-based systems. The individual cells within a sub-module block are connected for approximate voltage matching, and a multi-input single-output (MISO) buck converter harvests and combines the energy while performing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) locally for each cell type. A miniaturized MISO dc–dc prototype converter operating at 10 MHz is developed in a 130 nm CMOS process. For 45–160-mW power levels, the prototype converter achieves >92% nominal and >95% peak efficiency in a small (4.8 mm2) form factor designed to fit within available space in a LAMB PV cell block. The results demonstrate the potential of the LAMB CPV architecture for enhanced solar energy capture.

MPC Algorithm With Reduced Computational Burden and Fixed Switching Spectrum for a Multilevel Inverter in a Photovoltaic System
摘要： Renewable energy has gained significant attention of researchers in the last years, mainly due to the importance of using unlimited energy sources to supply homes, industries, cities and countries. In this context, this document focuses on the solar injection by employing a neutral point clamped (NPC) topology together with utilization of a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and space vector modulation (SVM) techniques. Model predictive control (MPC) is employed to manage the currents and track their references. The proposed algorithms do not employ a cost function to decide which voltage to apply resulting in a spread frequency spectrum, and instead, a concentrated SVM spectrum is imposed. Notwithstanding, the DC link capacitors voltage balance is ensured and the computational burden is notably reduced as compared to traditional Finite Set Model Predictive Control (FS-MPC). Nevertheless, the consistent results are a consequence of the critical analysis that shows the feasibility of the proposal and guarantees the good performance of the entire system in simulated and experimental platforms.

摘要： Model predictive control (MPC) has been widely advocated as a design strategy for many aspects of industrial electronics. The methodology has been strongly promoted by some researchers but has also attracted criticism from others. In this context, the purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we show that many existing and popular control strategies, including finite set MPC and linear controllers [proportional integral, proportional resonant (PR)], can be viewed as special cases of MPC. Second, we show that the predictive control framework allows one to embellish these classical control architectures with novel features and to design new and advanced control architectures to address various challenges posed by power electronics applications. The findings of the paper are supported by a practical example of designing of a novel form of PR controller with superior tracking performance and delay compensation, confirmed via simulation and experiments.

摘要： Transformer parasitics such as leakage inductance and self-capacitance are rarely calculated in advance during the design phase, because of the complexity and huge analytical error margins caused by practical winding implementation issues. Thus, choosing one transformer architecture over another for a given design is usually based on experience or a trial and error approach. This paper presents analytical expressions for calculating leakage inductance, self-capacitance, and ac resistance in transformer winding architectures (TWAs), ranging from the common noninterleaved primary/secondary winding architecture, to an interleaved, sectionalized, and bank winded architecture. The calculated results are evaluated experimentally, and through finite-element simulations, for an RM8 transformer with a turns ratio of 10. The four TWAs such as, noninterleaved and nonsectioned, noninterleaved and sectioned, interleaved and nonsectioned, and interleaved and sectioned, for an EF25 transformer with a turns ratio of 20, are investigated and practically implemented. The best TWA for an RM8 transformer in a high-voltage bidirectional flyback converter, used to drive an electro active polymer based incremental actuator, is identified based on the losses caused by the transformer parasitics. For an EF25 transformer, the best TWA is chosen according to whether electromagnetic interference due to the transformer interwinding capacitance, is a major problem or not.

摘要： An inductively coupled contactless dc connector has been proposed for the next-generation 380-V dc distribution system in data centers. A LLC resonant dc–dc converter topology with gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors has been applied to realize the short-distance highly ef?cient contactless power transfer. A prototype of a 1.2-kW 384- to 192-V connector has been fabricated and the conversion ef?ciency of over 95% with the power density of 8.1 W/cm3 has been con?rmed experimentally under 1000-kHz operation. The design consideration has been carried out and the potential to achieve 10.0 W/cm3 has been also shown taking the feature of the GaN power device and the characteristics of the magnetic core material for the transformer into account. The contactless dc connector integrates the functioning of an isolated dc–dc converter into a connector for space saving, and the dc current can be cut off without arc because of the inductive coupling. The proposed connector contributes to realizing a highly ef?cient, space saving, and reliable future 380-V dc distribution system.
