EE-465 / 4 crédits

Enseignant: Dujic Drazen

Langue: Anglais


Summary

The course deals with the control of grid connected power electronic converters for renewable applications, covering: converter topologies, pulse width modulation, modelling, control algorithms and controllers (PID and PR), coordinate frame transformations, grid monitoring and synchronisation (PLL).

Content

Introduction
Power electronic technologies for renewable energy generation, with emphassis on the photovoltaic applications.

 

Power electronic converters
Requirements, topologies, operating principles, pulse width modulation methods, space vectors, modeling and control.

Grid monitoring and synchronization
Single-phase and three-phase applications, phase locked loops, grid filters, power quality, balanced and unbalanced grid conditions.

Control synthesis
Continuous and discrete time systems, sampling, discretization, cascaded control loops, PID and PR regulators, coordinate frame transformations, tuning, passive and active damping.

Keywords

Modeling, Control, Power Electronic Converters, Power Systems

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Select appropriately power electronic converters for given application
  • Derive mathematical models
  • Synthesize control structures for different applications
  • Prove stability and dynamic performances

Transversal skills

  • Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.

Teaching methods

Slides, Blackboard, PLECS examples, Exercises based on the modeling and simulations using PLECS, Reporting

Expected student activities

Attendance of lectures; Completing exercises; Writing reports based on the exercises, Proactivness

Assessment methods

Student are expected to write 4 short reports, during a semester, related to their laboratory exercises. These reports will be graded and contribute to 40% of the final grade.

Oral exam at the end of the course is the open book exam (20 minutes preparation + 20 minutes examination). It contributes with 60% to the final grade.
