Abstract

A photovoltaic (PV) emulator (PVE) is essential equipment for the research and diagnostic of PV generation. It is a convenient, highly efficient, and low-cost approach when compared to controllable light sources. Nonetheless, the implementation of the partial shading capability in a PVE is highly limited in terms of efficiency, computation burned, number of power converters, and flexibility to change in the ambient condition. This paper proposes a partial shading adjuster for a PVE that can overcome the aforementioned limitations. The adjuster is applicable to the conventional PVE since it is based on an algorithm that can be added to the controller of the PVE. By adding the adjuster, the conventional PVE can emulate partial shading. The partial shading adjuster is added into a PVE that uses the direct referencing control strategy with the buck controller regulated by the proportional-integral controller. The results show that the PVE maintains its accuracy and produces a stable output voltage and current during the load changes when the adjuster is added. In conclusion, the proposed partial shading adjuster able to improve th

Abstract

Direct Torque Control using multilevel inverter (DTC-MLI) with hysteresis controller suffers from high torque and flux ripple and variable switching frequency. In this paper, a constant frequency torque controller is proposed to enhance the DTC-MLI performance. The operational concepts of the constant switching frequency torque controller of a DTC-MLI system followed by the simulation results and analysis are presented. The proposed system significantly improves the DTC drive in terms of dynamic performance, smaller torque and flux ripple, and retain a constant switching frequency.

Abstract

Finite control set-predictive torque control (FCS-PTC) has emerged as a popular control method for induction motors (IMs) over the past decade. This paper provides a detailed hardware implementation of FCS-PTC with a constant weighting factor (WF) on 186 W of IM. The FCS-PTC is implemented using the DS1104 controller board programmed using C code. A comprehensive analysis of flux, torque, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator current is conducted and presented to establish a relationship between the WF and drive performance. The experimental results indicate that a higher WF results in improved performance in flux and THD current, but a poorer torque response. Conversely, a lower WF improves torque performance but sacrifices the flux and THD current. The analysis outcome will hopefully provide some guidelines for developing the WF selection techniques.

Abstract

Three-phase active front-end (AFE) rectifiers are widely deployed in motor drives, electric vehicle chargers, and grid-connected renewable energy systems, where precise DC-link voltage regulation is essential for stable converter operation. In practice, DC-link capacitance degrades over time, and load profiles vary dynamically, both degrading the DC-link voltage regulation performance. Conventional proportional-integral (PI) outer voltage controllers are designed based on nominal operating conditions, with limited stability margins resulting in sluggish or oscillatory DC-link voltage responses under significant load and parameter variations. This paper proposes an adaptive internal model control-proportional integral (AIMC-PI) outer voltage loop controller for a three-phase AFE rectifier. It extends the conventional IMC-PI structure by incorporating an active damping term, an internal feedforward gain, a reference filter, and a Lyapunov-based adaptation law that updates the embedded plant model and IMC filter time constant online ensuring closed-loop stability and bounded tracking error. Simulation results show that AIMC-PI achieves a faster dynamic response than PI and performance comparable to IMC-PI and linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) under nominal conditions. As DC-link capacitance degrades to 0.5C, AIMC-PI maintains a well-damped DC-link voltage, whereas LADRC exhibits noticeable oscillations. Experimentally, AIMC-PI successfully eliminates the AC-supply current and DC-link voltage ripples present in fixed-λ IMC-PI.
