“…The 2-D torus was selected as the best compromise of number of communication links and performance. The proposed multi-hop network topology is widely used for large-scale distributed computing systems to smallerscale networks-on-chip [72]- [75]. However, while these Decoding sequence Ts networks seek to minimize average-case latency for varying dynamic traffic, a PEBB controller network must guarantee a worst-case latency for regular static traffic.…”

“…This indicates that all main converter systems located at the main bus can be share a network distributed application control with total roundtrip latency on the order of 100µs-200µs. This is acceptable since Application control for converter applications has a cycle time that is typically in the lower millisecond range [9].…”

“…Faster time scales translate to a need for more capable control systems that is usually being met through the use of FPGA based platforms. Both of those trends have resulted in the continued evolution of the Universal Controller Architecture (UCA) which attempts to standardize control interfaces for modular power electronic systems [8,9]. Further development of interface definitions and increasing communication and computational capabilities of new FPGA based controllers provides opportunities beyond simply supporting SiC PEBB based converters.…”

SynopsisA long-term goal of future naval shipboard power systems is the ability to manage energy flow with sufficient flexibility to accommodate future platform requirements such as, better survivability, continuity, and support of pulsed and other demanding loads. To attain this vision of shipboard energy management, shipboard power and energy management systems must coordinate operation of all major components in real-time. The primary components of a shipboard power system are the generators, energy storage modules, and increasingly power electronics that interface those sources and main load centers to the system. Flexible management of energy flow throughout shipboard distribution systems can be realized by automated coordination of multiple power electronic converters along with storage and generation systems. Use of power converters in power distribution systems has continuously increased due to continued development of the power electronics building blocks (PEBB) concept which reduces cost and increasing reliability of converters. Recent developments in SiC power devices are yielding PEBBs with far greater switching frequencies than Si based devices resulting in an order of magnitude reduction of the time scales as compared to converter systems utilizing conventional IGBT based PEBBs. In addition there have also been advancements in highly modularized converter systems with hundreds of PEBBs such as the Modular Multilevel Converter. Both of those trends have resulted in the continued evolution of the Universal Controller Architecture which attempts to standardize control interfaces for modular power electronic systems. Further development of interface definitions and increasing communication and computational capabilities of new FPGA based controllers provides opportunities beyond simply supporting SiC PEBBs. Fast control coordination across the system using an appropriate communication architecture provides a degree of energy management not previously realizable in shipboard power systems. The paper will present recent research results in networked control architectures for power electronic converter coordination and control. It will demonstrate that current FPGA and gigabit speed serial communication technologies allow for a very high degree of energy flow control.

“…In (Ginn et al, 2015;Lucia et al, 2018), advantages of control methods of power electronic converters have been presented and various methods for control these converters have been provided. However, the usage of the linear controller such as P or PI is the main weakness of these references.…”

The rectifier is one of the popular power electronic converters in industrial applications such as in the railway and power supply systems. In this paper, a three-phase controllable rectifier is considered and the continuous control set model predictive controller (CCS-MPC) is designed. By considering system dynamic response, the proper criteria to select the sampling time, prediction horizon and control horizon is proposed. By using these criteria, the tradeoff between computational burden and system performance dynamic is made. When using the CCS-MPC controller, the rectifier and grid performance such as total harmonic distribution (THD) and power factor (PF) have acceptable value. The simulation results are validated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
