With increasing penetration of the renewable energy, the grid-tied PWM inverters need to take corresponding responsibilities for the security and stability of future grid, behaving like conventional rotational synchronous generator (RSG). Therefore, recognizing the inherent relationship and intrinsic differences between inverters and RSGs is essential for such target. By modeling the typical electromechanical transient of grid-tied PWM inverters, this paper first proves that PWM inverters and RSGs are similar in physical mechanism and equivalent in mathematical model, and the concept of static synchronous generator (SSG) is thereby developed. Furthermore, the comprehensive comparison between RSG and SSG is carried out in detail, and their inherent relation is built. Based on these findings, the rationality and feasibility of migrating the concepts, tools, and methods of RSG stability analysis to investigate the dynamic behaviors and stability issues of SSG is therefore confirmed. Taking stability issues as an example, the criteria of small signal and transient stability of a typical grid-tied PWM inverter is put forward to demonstrate the significance of the developed SSG model (including synchronizing coefficient, damping coefficient, inertia constant, and power-angle curve), providing clear physical interpretation on the dynamic characteristics and stability issues. The developed SSG model promotes grid-friendly integration of renewable energy to future grid and stimulates interdisciplinary research between power electronics and power system.
With the rapid development in wearable
electronics, self-powered
devices have recently attracted tremendous attention to overcome the
restriction of conventional power sources. In this regard, a simple,
scalable, and one-pot electrospinning fabrication technique was utilized
to construct an all-fiber-structured triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG).
Ethyl cellulose was co-electrospun with polyamide 6 to serve as the
triboelectric positive material, and a kind of strongly electronegative
conductive material of MXene sheet was innovatively incorporated into
poly(vinylidene fluoride) nanofiber to act as a triboelectric negative
material. The assembled all-fiber TENG exhibited excellent durability
and stability, as well as excellent output performance, which reached
a peak power density of 290 mW/m2 at a load resistance
of 100 MΩ. More importantly, the TENG was capable of harvesting
energy to power various light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and monitoring
human movements as a self-powered sensor, providing a promising application
prospect in wearable electronics.
This paper proposes a novel three-phase PLL algorithm, which focuses on the reforming of the primary signals before grid synchronization rather than improving the phase estimation methodologies. The unbalanced signals are reformed to balanced ones without damage to the phase angle, through which the negative sequence of the grid voltages is removed. This eliminates the estimation errors of conventional synchronous reference frame PLL (SRF-PLL) and enhances its response speed with a higher bandwidth. The reforming process is supposed to be carried out at every zero-crossing point of the three-phase voltages and choose one phase as reference to balance the other two. Coefficients for the signal reforming are calculated at one zero-crossing point and updated until the next comes. In implementation, a certain phase is chosen as the reference all along and the reforming process will be suspended when it just crosses the zero line. This PLL algorithm has a fast and precise character to reform the three-phase grid voltages and is flexible for application. Under heavily distorted grid conditions, it can still perform effectively even with multiple zero-crossings. Comprehensive experimental results from a digital signal processor based laboratory prototype are provided to validate the performance of this PLL algorithm.
