Abstract

Global warming has emerged as a significant issue, primarily due to the use of fossil fuels for power generation. Renewable energy adoption has surged. However, stability issues arise when integrating the primary source and inertia-less nature of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources (RESs) into the traditional power system, due to its intermittent and uncertain nature. The proposed solution involves controlling converter-interfaced RES to emulate the characteristics of a conventional synchronous generator (SG), commonly known as a virtual synchronous generator or synchronverter. As it fundamentally functions as a power converter, it is crucial to consider the appropriate filter design for the synchronverter. Additionally, by emulating the characteristics of SG, the values of “virtual” inertia and droop coefficients must be chosen accurately to provide a robust response under different operating scenarios of the synchronverter. Hence, this paper proposes a novel LLCL filter-based synchronverter system along with an adaptive control strategy using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The system is simulated under different operating scenarios in MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed system demonstrated improved frequency response and reduced total harmonic distortion compared to the conventional synchronverter model for all the different operating scenarios, thus enhancing grid stability and power quality.

Abstract

In this research, the structure selection of the carriers in the implementation of random pulse width modulation (RPWM) method for single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) drives is specified by a 16-bit binary sequence. Subsequently, the genetic algorithm (GA) is used to find the solution of the optimal sequence allowing the output voltage signal to achieve the minimum total harmonic distortion (THD). In addition, the harmonic spreading factor (HSF) is further analyzed to evaluate the acoustic noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the operation of electromechanical system. Finally, through hardware testing process, the simulation results are validated in order to ensure the reliability of our research findings. The main components of this testing process are LAUNCHXL-F28379D utilized to generate controlling pulses for the modules insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT), and two EVAL-1EDI60I12AF gate driver modules for realizing the full-bridge inverter.
