Sydney. He focused on fundamental research on mechanical vibration, multi-body system dynamics and its applications to complex machines and vehicular systems. He developed advanced models and numerical schemes for simulating gear shift in powertrains with AT, MT and CVTs and for dynamic analysis of vehicles fitted with advanced suspensions.
Direct power control with space vector modulation (DPC-SVM) features simple structure, fast dynamic performance, and little tuning work. However, the conventional DPC-SVM cannot achieve accurate power control under unbalanced grid conditions. A modified DPC-SVM is thus proposed for accurate power control under both ideal and unbalanced grid conditions. Though the power control accuracy is improved when compared with the conventional DPC-SVM, it still suffers highly distorted grid current and dc voltage oscillations with an unbalanced network. Therefore, a power compensation method is subsequently derived aiming at the following targets: eliminating dc voltage oscillations, achieving sinusoidal grid current, and obtaining unity power factor. To that end, average grid-side reactive power and oscillations in converter-side active power are controlled as zero by simply adding a compensation to original power reference. Additionally, the proposed method does not require extraction of a positive sequence or negative sequence component of grid voltage. Compared with the conventional DPC-SVM in an ideal grid, only additional compensation of power reference is required. As a result, control performance can be significantly improved without substantial increase in complexity. The superiority of the proposed method over the prior DPC-SVM is validated by both simulation and experimental results obtained on a twolevel pulsewidth modulation voltage source rectifier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
