    Future transmission network operation and design standards to support a low carbon electricity system

    Increased connections of wind power in the Great Britain (GB) transmission system had triggered the need to review the fundamental principles behind the deterministic Great Britain Supply Quality and Security Standards (SQSS) that has been used for more than 5 decades. This review analyses the necessary upgrades to improve the efficiency of transmission system operation and capacity required to accommodate the present and future generation system. This paper in particular addresses a number of issues raised from the applications of deterministic SQSS and its operation and design efficiency concerning the best usage of N-k policy type. With respect to the United Kingdom (UK) transmission system operation, deterministic standards have been used to determine secure maximum levels of power transfers across a particular boundary. Our studies indicate that the deterministic standards are too conservative. This leads to over requirement of transmission capacity in planning timescales or significant constraints to access remote wind power in operational timescales. As an alternative, the use of an integrated reliability and cost-benefit framework to optimize the level of transmission system security has been developed. A wide range of studies have been carried out to analyze the benefits of this approach in the UK. The results indicate the need to move towards this integrated approach in order to maximize the value of transmission and to speed up the connections of wind power. ©2010 IEEE.

    A dimmable Light-emitting diode (LED) driver with cascaded mag-amp postregulators for multistring applications

    , IECON Proceedings Industrial Electronics Conference, Pages: 2523-2528

    A dimmable LED driver with cascaded magnetic amplifiers is proposed for multistring applications. A master power converter is used to provide the major part of the voltage for a plurality of slave converter modules with magnetic amplifier control. The magnetic amplifiers are used to regulate only the varying part of the LED string voltage and therefore greatly reduce the power losses in parallel converter modules. Good current balance among the parallel LED strings and a high energy efficiency in the range of 86-88% has been achieved for a 21W practical prototype formed with 3 parallel strings. © 2010 IEEE.

    Wind farm output smoothing through coordinated control

    This paper presents a new method of using coordinated control and short term wind speed prediction to smooth the output of an array of wind turbines. The proposed controller uses knowledge of the kinetic energy storage potential in the rotor disc to allow production of pre-determined power profiles for periods of around 60s from variable wind inputs. Previous studies have shown that there are large peaks in wind power variability in the minutes timescale which is within the ability of a control system to reduce. This variation will cause issues with balancing systems within the local grid, as such it is beneficial to remove it. Results of tests to the system are presented which show a significant reduction in wind farm output power variability without a significant drop in output power. Comparisons with the natural smoothing effect are also presented and show that despite the significant smoothing found in large and distributed wind farms, there is still a possibility to improve the output.

    Analysed small signal state-space model of an active rectifier

    This paper presents a small signal state-space model of an active rectifier. The model considers the reference frame, the variation of frequency and control dynamics. It is suitable for analysing small signal stability of active rectifier loads in networks where a small load perturbation may cause a frequency disturbance. The model is formed by separating the active rectifier into sub sections. Each subsection is modelled independently before being consolidated into a single small signal state-space equation. A sensitivity analysis of the active rectifier is also presented which identifies the states most associated with each mode. This indicates possible feedback signals for the design of controllers to improve the system stability. The model is tested using rapid prototyping power converters configured as the active rectifier itself and the system load. The laboratory arrangement allows the active rectifier to be connected to either the public network via isolation transformers or a private network where the voltage and frequency are fully controllable. During the experimentation the active rectifier is shown to have negative impedance characteristics which are known to cause destabilising effects in networks.

    Transient Thermal Modeling of an Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) Machine Using a Hybrid Thermal Model

    , International Conference on Thermal and Fluids Engineering, Publisher: World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (WASET)

    This paper presents the development of a hybrid thermal model for the EVO Electric AFM 140 Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machine as used in hybrid and electric vehicles. The adopted approach is based on a hybrid lumped parameter and finite difference method. The proposed method divides each motor component into regular elements which are connected together in a thermal resistance network representing all the physical connections in all three dimensions. The element shape and size are chosen according to the component geometry to ensure consistency. The fluid domain is lumped into one region with averaged heat transfer parameters connecting it to the solid domain. Some model parameters are obtained from Computation Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation and empirical data. The hybrid thermal model is described by a set of coupled linear first order differential equations which is discretised and solved iteratively to obtain the temperature profile. The computation involved is low and thus the model is suitable for transient temperature predictions. The maximum error in temperature prediction is 3.4% and the mean error is consistently lower than the mean error due to uncertainty in measurements. The details of the model development, temperature predictions and suggestions for design improvements are presented in this paper.

    Model Reduction by Moment Matching for Linear and Nonlinear Systems

    , IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, Vol: 55, Pages: 2321-2336, ISSN: 0018-9286

    The model reduction problem for (single-input, single-output) linear and nonlinear systems is addressed using the notion of moment. A re-visitation of the linear theory allows to obtain novel results for linear systems and to develop a nonlinear enhancement of the notion of moment. This, in turn, is used to pose and solve the model reduction problem by moment matching for nonlinear systems, to develop a notion of frequency response for nonlinear systems, and to solve model reduction problems in the presence of constraints on the reduced model. Connections between the proposed results, projection methods, the covariance extension problem and interpolation theory are presented. Finally, the theory is illustrated by means of simple worked out examples and case studies.

    Generalized self-driven AC-DC synchronous rectification techniques for single- & multiphase systems

    , 2010 International Power Electronics Conference Ecce Asia IPEC 2010, Pages: 2098-2105

    This paper extends the single-phase self-driven synchronous rectification (SDSR) technique to multiphase and multi-level AC-DC systems. Power MOSFETs with either voltage or current self-sensing and self-driven gate drives are used to replace diodes in the rectifier circuits. The generalized methodology allows multiphase SDSRs to be designed to replace multiphase diode rectifiers. Unlike traditional SR designed for high-frequency power converters, the SDSR proposed here can be direct replacement of power diode bridges for both low and high frequency operations. The SDSR utilizes its output dc voltage to power its control circuit. No start-up control is needed because the body diodes of the power MOSFETs provide the diode rectifier for initial start-up stage. The generalized method is demonstrated in 2kW 1-phase and 3-phase SDSRs. Power loss reduction in the range of 50% to 69% has been achieved for inductive, capacitive and resistive loads. © 2010 IEEE.
