Real-Time HIL Simulation of Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter Using Switching Function Model Juan Paez Alvarez, S. Milad Hoseinizadeh, Anil Kumar Bonala, Saroj Sahoo, Wei Li IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting, 2024 The modular multilevel matrix converter (M3C) represents a direct AC/AC converter configuration with significant potential for high-power applications in the medium voltage range. Given the increased number of sub-modules and the control complexity, HIL testing is recommended to validate the operation of the converter and its control before deployment in the field. Additionally, the real-time simulation of such topology remains challenging because of the increased number of converter valves compared to a classical MMC. This paper presents a modeling approach based on an equivalent circuit method both efficient and precise, and designed for real-time simulation of the M3C. The proposed method can be used for HIL testing or accelerated simulation.
Simplified Predictive Flux Control for Neutral Point Clamped Converter Fed IM Drive Anil Kumar Bonala, Vishnu Prasad Muddineni Pesgre 2022 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics Smart Grid and Renewable Energy, 2022 The major concerns of Predictive Torque Control (PTC) of a 3-Level Neutral Point Clamped (3L-NPC) converter fed Induction Motor (IM) drive are weighting factor selection and computation burden. The implementation of PTC for a 3L-NPC fed IM requires torque, stator flux and DC-link voltage balancing as control objectives in the objective function. Hence, two weighting factors $\\lambda_{1}$ and $\\lambda_{2}$ are required respectively for the stator flux and DC-link voltage balancing in the objective function. To avoid the weighting factor for the stator flux, Predictive Flux Control (PFC) is considered in this paper. Further, selective switching states are considered to maintain the inherent neutral point balance and also to reduce the computational burdern. The total computations are limited to eleven switching states instead of twenty seven based on the stator flux location and operating mode of the drive with the 3L-NPC. The proposed method is compared with conventional PFC for 3L-NPC fed IM. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method under various operating conditions.
Grey Relational Analysis-Based Objective Function Optimization for Predictive Torque Control of Induction Machine Vishnu Prasad Muddineni, Anil Kumar Bonala, Srinivasa Rao Sandepudi IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2021 This article presents grey relational analysis (GRA)-based objective function optimization in predictive torque control (PTC) for induction machine. Selection of appropriate weighting factor in the objective function is one of the key aspects in the implementation of PTC. However, selection of suitable weighting factor in the objective function is a heuristic task. To address this issue, GRA method is implemented for the objective function optimization. In this approach, single-objective function is modified into two independent objective functions for stator flux and torque. A grey relational grade is used to identify the suitable control action in each sampling. A MATLAB/Simulink model is developed to validate the control algorithm under various operating conditions of the drive, and corresponding results are compared with experimental results.
A second order-second order generalized integrator for three - Phase single - Stage multifunctional grid-connected SPV system Hareesh Kumar Yada, Bonala Anil Kumar, Vishnu Prasad Muddineni Proceedings of the International Conference on Smart Technologies in Computing Electrical and Electronics Icstcee 2020, 2020 This study presents a multifunctional inverter for a three – phase single – stage grid – connected SPV system with SO-SOGI based control algorithm. The SOSOGI based quadrature signal generation (QSG) estimates the magnitude of source voltage and load current signal and phase – locked loop (PLL) estimates phase angle of the grid voltage. This estimation is used to design the proper control algorithm which improves the power quality such as reactive power compensation, harmonic rejection; DC offset rejection and in addition to feed the SPV energy to load and grid. Perturb and Observe (P&O) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used for estimating reference PV voltage signal and power. The SO-SOGI based controller tracks the signal even under distorted grid supply conditions such as voltage sag / swell, harmonics to improve the dynamic response. These multifunctional capabilities of the inverter make the system more efficient for feeding the SPV energy to grid. Various operating conditions are shown to validate the proposed control algorithm using MATLAB / Simulink.
Grey Relational Analysis based objective Function Optimization for Predictive Torque Control of Induction Machine Vishnu Prasad Muddineni, Anil Kumar Bonala, Srinivasa Rao Sandepudi 2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Pesgre 2020, 2020 This paper presents a modified objective function optimization for Predictive Torque Control (PTC) of induction machine based on Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) method. PTC offers better steady state and dynamic operating conditions on proper selection of weighing factor in the objective function. However, selection of appropriate weighting factor in the objective function is a heuristic task. To address this issue, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) method is implemented in the objective function optimization to overcome the problems associated with weighting factor selection. In this approach, single objective function is modified into two independent objective functions for stator flux and torque. A grey relational grade is used to identify the suitable control action in each sampling. A MATLAB/Simulink model is developed to validate the control algorithm under various operating conditions and corresponding results are compared with experimental results.
Centralised model-predictive decoupled active-reactive power control for three-level neutral point clamped photovoltaic inverter with preference selective index-based objective prioritisation Anil Kumar Bonala, Srinivasa Rao Sandepudi Iet Power Electronics, 2019 This study presents a single-stage grid-tied three-level neutral point clamped photovoltaic inverter with a centralised model-predictive decoupled active–reactive power control. The proposed centralised model predictive control (CMPC) incorporates the constraints of maximum power extraction, dc-link capacitor voltage balancing and active–reactive power tracking in a single objective function. The dc-link voltage of the inverter is regulated to its reference for extracting the maximum power. In order to eliminate the impact of reactive power exchange on floating dc-link voltage regulation, a decoupled active–reactive power control is used in the CMPC. Furthermore, a preference selective index-based dynamic weighting factor selection approach is introduced to maintain the relative importance between the power tracking and dc-link capacitor voltage balancing. The proposed control approach eliminates the outer dc-link voltage control loop and also, the empirical approach required for the selection of weighting factors. As a result, it ensures an optimal control action in each sampling period to improve the steady-state and dynamic tracking performance of the control objectives. The proposed control approach is experimentally verified by using a 1.2 kW laboratory-scale prototype and the results are presented to demonstrate its effectiveness compared to the classical proportional–integral-based model predictive control.
