    Abstract: The present techniques include methods and systems for operating converter to maintain a lifespan of the converter. In some embodiments, the operating frequency of the converter may be increased such that stress may be reduced on the bond wires of the converter. More specifically, embodiments involve calculating the aging parameters for certain operating conditions of the converter operating in a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode and determining whether the MPPT operation results in aging the converter to a point which reduces the converter lifespan below a desired lifespan. If the MPPT operation reduces the converter lifespan below the desired lifespan, the frequency of the converter may be increased such that the converter may be controlled to operate at a percentage of MPPT. Thus, in some embodiments, power output may be optimized with respect to maintaining a desired lifespan of the converter.

The inductor further includes a plurality of electrical windings disposed between and adjacent to an inside plane of the first planar core and an inside plane of the second planar core. The electrical windings may include insulated electrical wires. No magnetic teeth may be disposed between the first planar core and the second planar core. The first axis is parallel to a magnetic axis of each electrical winding.

    Abstract: A system may include an inverter configured to convert a direct current (DC) voltage to an alternating current (AC) voltage. The system may also include a control system communicatively coupled to the inverter. The control system may receive a torque current feedback from a motor and may generate, based on the torque current feedback, a command torque current and a command flux current. The control system may generate, based on the command torque current and the command flux current, a command torque voltage and a command flux voltage and may generate, based on a slip frequency and a rotor frequency, a command frequency. The control system may determine one or more operating parameters for the inverter based on the command frequency, the command torque voltage, and the command flux voltage and may control the inverter based on the one or more operating parameters.

    Abstract: For grid-connected power converter control, a method estimates a d-axis grid voltage from a d-axis reference current modified with a d-axis current and a q-axis current modified with a filter inductive reactance. The method generates a q-axis current error from a direct current (DC) voltage input and a DC bus voltage. The method estimates an observer q-axis grid voltage from a q-axis voltage output. The q-axis grid voltage observer estimates the q-axis grid voltage in a direct/quadrature (dq) reference frame equivalent to an ABC to DQ reference frame transform. The method determines a d-axis voltage output as a function of a d-axis current error and a q-axis current modified with a filter inductive reactance. The method determines a q-axis voltage output as a sum of the q-axis current controller output and the observer q-axis grid voltage.

    Abstract: For grid-connected power converter control, a method estimates a d-axis grid voltage from a d-axis reference current modified with a d-axis current, and a q-axis current modified with a filter inductive reactance. The method generates a q-axis grid voltage from a direct current (DC) voltage input modified with the DC bus voltage modified with a notch filter to balance the voltage input and further reduced with the q-axis current. The method modifies the estimated d-axis grid voltage and the q-axis grid voltage by selectively removing second-order harmonics. The method further determines a d-axis voltage output and a q-axis voltage output as a function of the modified estimated d-axis grid voltage and the modified q-axis grid voltage.
