    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for controlling a DC-bus voltage for a power conditioning system. A control system regulates the DC value of the DC-bus voltage. The control system uses an adaptive DC-value estimator/observer to estimate this DC-value. Instead of having to determine the DC-value of a signal with a low frequency ripple without compromising the signal's dynamic response, a suitably precise estimate for that DC-value is used.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for use in a DC/DC converter. A circuit uses a full-bridge power semiconductor subcircuit along with a high power transformer subcircuit, a diode bridge subcircuit, and a parallel capacitor to provide galvanic isolation and boost the voltage from a power source such as a photovoltaic panel. To ensure zero voltage switching for the power semiconductors, either a passive auxiliary subcircuit or an inductor coupled in parallel to a transformer in the transformer subcircuit may be used. A controller which derives its timing signals from the transformer primary current is used to control the timing of the power semiconductors in the circuit. The circuit and its controller allows for self-adjusting regardless of load and uses the entire switching cycle to be used for power transfer.

    摘要: Systems and methods relating to zero voltage switching for inverters. A full bridge inverter is used in conjunction with a passive auxiliary circuit and an output filter. A control system controls the current by way of the auxiliary circuit and injects a high quality current to a power grid. The control system adjusts the duty ratio and switching frequency of the gate pulses applied to the power semiconductors in the full-bridge inverter. As well, the control system adjusts the phase shift between gate pulses for both the leading leg and lagging leg power semiconductors to control the current passing through the auxiliary circuit.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices relating to the controlling of a grid-connected inverter. A grid connected inverter is controlled by a proportional-resonant controller which tracks the grid current. To adjust for changes in grid conditions, an update block dynamically and continuously adjusts coefficients used by the controller to ensure high gains provided by the controller at the grid frequency. A harmonic compensator is also provided to ensure that high loop gains at harmonic frequencies of the grid frequency are also provided for. To also adjust for changing grid conditions, a second update block also continuously adjusts the coefficients used by the harmonic compensator.

    摘要: A control approach of adjusting the input power of a power factor correction (PFC) stage so that the output voltage (DC-link) of the input AC/DC stage to an intermediate DC voltage (DC-Bus voltage) is adjusted based on the amount of power required to charge a high energy battery is disclosed. The present invention controls the input power of the PFC instead of the DC-bus voltage as is common in conventional methods. Therefore, a very fast response compared to the conventional sluggish voltage loop can be achieved. Also, having different DC-bus voltages for different output load conditions allows the DC/DC converter to work with an optimal duty cycle for a whole range of load variations.

    摘要: Circuits and methods relating to the provision of a reactive current to ensure zero voltage switching in a boost power factor correction converter. A simple passive circuit using a series connected inductor and capacitor are coupled between two phases of an interleaved boost PFC converter. The passive circuit takes advantage of the 180° phase-shift between the two phases to provide reactive current for zero voltage switching. A control system for adjusting and controlling the reactive current to ensure ZVS for different loads and line voltages is also provided.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices relating to the extraction of parameters for a grid voltage. A multi-block hybrid PLL or hybrid observer receives grid voltage. The grid voltage is received by a harmonic/noise decomposer block which separates the harmonic/noise component of the incoming voltage from the clean voltage signal. The clean voltage signal is then output from the PLL/observer. The clean voltage signal is also sent to an amplitude estimator block which estimates the amplitude of the clean voltage signal. The harmonic/noise component of the input voltage signal is sent, along with the clean voltage signal, to a frequency estimator block. The frequency estimator block then determines the phase angle of the incoming signal as well as the frequency of the incoming voltage signal.
