Hysteretic control of grid-side current for a single-phase LCL grid-connected voltage source converter
© 2016. This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/This paper proposes a new approach to control the grid-side current of LCL-grid connected voltage source converters using hysteretic relay feedback controllers. The closed loop system is stabilized by designing a local feedback around the relay element. The compensator allows the use of relay feedback controllers by making the controlled plant almost strictly positive real. The article proposes the use of the locus of the perturbed relay system as analysis and design tool and studies orbital stability for several plant and controller conditions. The approach is validated by means of simulation testing.Postprint (author's final draft
Parameter reduction in nonlinear state-space identification of hysteresis
Hysteresis is a highly nonlinear phenomenon, showing up in a wide variety of
science and engineering problems. The identification of hysteretic systems from
input-output data is a challenging task. Recent work on black-box polynomial
nonlinear state-space modeling for hysteresis identification has provided
promising results, but struggles with a large number of parameters due to the
use of multivariate polynomials. This drawback is tackled in the current paper
by applying a decoupling approach that results in a more parsimonious
representation involving univariate polynomials. This work is carried out
numerically on input-output data generated by a Bouc-Wen hysteretic model and
follows up on earlier work of the authors. The current article discusses the
polynomial decoupling approach and explores the selection of the number of
univariate polynomials with the polynomial degree, as well as the connections
with neural network modeling. We have found that the presented decoupling
approach is able to reduce the number of parameters of the full nonlinear model
up to about 50\%, while maintaining a comparable output error level.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure
Hysteresis-based design of dynamic reference trajectories to avoid saturation in controlled wind turbines
The main objective of this paper is to design a dynamic reference trajectory based on hysteresis to avoid saturation in controlled wind turbines. Basically, the torque controller and pitch controller set-points are hysteretically manipulated to avoid saturation and drive the system with smooth dynamic changes. Simulation results obtained from a 5MW wind turbine benchmark model show that our proposed strategy has a clear added value with respect to the baseline controller (a well-known and accepted industrial wind turbine controller). Moreover, the proposed strategy has been tested in healthy conditions but also in the presence of a realistic fault where the baseline controller caused saturation to nally conduct to instability.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
