In allusion to the virtual synchronous generator (VSG)-based voltage source inverters in micro-grids, an integrated control method combining a quasi-synchronization algorithm and an islanding detection algorithm is proposed to improve the power supply reliability and quality, which can simultaneously meet the operational requirements of both grid-connected mode (GCM) and off-grid mode (OGM), and the smooth switching between them. The quasi-synchronization algorithm of the micro-grid inverter is designed to realize a flexible grid connection. Moreover, for quickly detecting islanding phenomena, a novel islanding detection algorithm based on the VSG's inherent characteristics is put forward. Finally, the validity and availability of the proposed models and control strategies are comprehensively verified by simulation results based on Matlab/Simulink.
A novel hybrid resonant zero-current-switching (ZCS) three-level DC-DC converter based on a dual transformer with two output filter capacitors is proposed in this paper, which is suitable for application in distributed photovoltaic power generation at medium voltage integrated with a DC distribution network. The proposed converter adds an auxiliary circuit to the traditional neutral point clamped (NPC) three-level (TL) circuit, which contains the basic NPC three-level circuit. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is adopted in the auxiliary circuit portion to realize the power and voltage regulation of the whole converter, and enable the main switches to operate with a fixed duty cycle. This has the advantages of simplified control. By reasonable design of the turn's ratio of the main transformer, the main three-level circuit can deliver most of the power and achieve ZCS within the under full load range that significantly reduced the switching losses. Therefore, the turns ratio of the auxiliary transformer can be optimized to reduce the loss of the converter further and improve the conversion efficiency as discussed in detail, while the parameters' design principles are put forward. Finally, a prototype of 300V-1.5kV/1.5 kW is built to verify the performance of the proposed converter. INDEX TERMS Pulse width modulation, zero-voltage-zero-current-switching, photovoltaic. I.
