Ce travail est le résultat d'une collaboration entre le laboratoire LAPLACE, la "Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli" (SUN) et la Société National des Chemins de fer Français SNCF. Le sujet de recherche concerne l'utilisation de dispositifs électroniques de puissance dans les sous stations ferroviaires 25kV/50Hz afin d’améliorer la qualité de l'énergie électrique. Dans le transport ferroviaire, le système d'électrification monophasé 25kV/50Hz est largement diffusé en particulier pour les lignes ferroviaires à grande vitesse. Bien qu'aujourd'hui les systèmes d’alimentation en courant continu soient encore largement utilisés, l'adoption du courant alternatif monophasé offre des avantages économiques pour les infrastructures d'environ 30% en termes d'investissement, d'exploitation et d'entretien. Initialement, compte tenu de la simplicité du circuit, il n'y avait aucune nécessité d'intégrer de l'électronique de puissance dans les sous stations. Toutefois, au cours de la décennie passée, l'intérêt pour ces équipements est apparu car ils peuvent apporter une solution d'optimisation du réseau lorsque le trafic augmente ou lorsqu’une nouvelle sous station est envisagée. Deux principaux types de dispositifs sont installés aujourd'hui sur le réseau ferré français : les compensateurs de puissance réactive et les compensateurs de déséquilibre de tension. Cette thèse présente de nouvelles topologies de compensateurs basées sur le concept d’impédances contrôlées par gradateur MLI. Comparées aux solutions existantes, ces topologies ont des caractéristiques particulièrement intéressantes en termes de pertes dans les semi-conducteurs et de volume des composants réactifs. Le manuscrit contient trois parties principales: La première partie présente le principe de l’électrification en 25kV/50Hz et souligne l’intérêt d’installer des moyens de compensation statique dans les sous stations. Après une description des solutions actuellement utilisées, le concept d’impédance contrôlée par gradateur MLI (CCI : Chopper Controlled Impedance ) est ensuite présenté. La deuxième partie du travail concerne l'utilisation du concept de CCI pour la compensation de puissance réactive. La sous-station SNCF de Revest est considérée comme cas d’étude. Celle-ci est équipée d'un transformateur monophasé de 60MVA dont le primaire est connecté à une ligne de transport 225kV. Deux topologies de compensateur de puissance réactive, basées sur des montages abaisseur ou élévateur de tension sont présentées. Le dimensionnement des gradateurs est effectué sur la base d'une campagne de mesures réalisée à la sous station. Des simulations numériques utilisant des formes d’ondes réelles de courant et de tension sont présentées. Des résultats expérimentaux effectués à la plateforme de test de la SNCF sur un prototype de 1,2MVAR permettent de valider le concept de CCI. La dernière partie du travail concerne le problème du déséquilibre de tension en amont de la sous station. Un circuit de Steinmetz « actif », toujours basée sur des gradateurs MLI, est présenté et étudié. La sous station SNCF d'Evron est alors considérée comme cas étude. Celle-ci comporte un transformateur de 32MVA et est connectée à une ligne de transmission 90kV. Les mesures effectuées sur le site permettent le dimensionnement du compensateur ainsi que l’utilisation des formes d'onde réelles de courant et de tension dans les simulations numériques. Une comparaison avec des solutions classiques basées sur des onduleurs 2 niveaux et 3 niveaux souligne les avantages de la solution proposée. Ainsi, les résultats des calculs et des simulations montrent que l'énergie stockée dans les éléments réactifs est réduite d’un facteur six et que les pertes dans les semi-conducteurs sont réduites de 40%. Des résultats expérimentaux obtenus sur une maquette de 1.5 kVA permettent de valider le principe du circuit de Steinmetz actif. / This work is the result of collaboration between the LAPLACE laboratory, the “Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli” (SUN) and the French national railways operator SNCF. The research topic treated herein concerns the use of power electronic devices in 25kV/50Hz railways substations to achieve power quality improvements. In railway transportation, single-phase 25kV-50Hz electrification system is widely diffused especially for high-speed railway applications. Although electrified DC systems are still widely applied, the adoption of AC single-phase system offers economical advantages for the infrastructures of about 30% in terms of investment, exploitation and maintenance. In early ages, due to its very simple diagram, there was no necessity to integrate power electronics in substations. However, for the last decade, the interest in power electronic equipments raised since they can provide the solution for network optimization when traffic increases or when a difficulty is foreseen for a substation implementation. Two types of devices are implemented today on the French Railway Network: Reactive Power compensators and Voltage Unbalance compensators. This thesis presents an investigation into new topologies based on the concept of “Chopper Controlled Impedances”(CCI). Compared to existing solutions, the new topologies show interesting features in terms of semi-conductor losses reduction and volume of reactive components. The manuscript is developed through three main parts: Firstly, the French railways system is introduced and the interest in installing power electronic compensators in substations is highlighted. After a brief description of currently used solutions, the CCI concept is presented: the use of Pulse Width Modulated AC Choppers allows achieving structures which behave as variable impedances. In the second part, the use of CCI structures in reactive power compensation is investigated. The SNCF substation of Revest is under study. It is equipped by a 60MVA single phase transformer with the primary side connected to a 225kV transmission line. Based on the step-down or step-up functioning mode of CCIs, two topologies of reactive power compensator are presented. The converter design is developed on the base of a measurement campaign carried out at the substation. Numerical simulations using real current and voltage waveforms are presented. Finally, experimental results carried out at the SNCF test platform on a 1.2MVAR prototype are shown. In the last part, the problem of voltage unbalance is treated. Using the concept of CCI, the feasibility of an active Steinmetz circuit based on AC choppers is explored. As a case study, the substation of Evron is considered. It is a 32MVA substation connected to a 90kV transmission line. Measurements carried out on the substation site allow the compensator design and the possibility to consider real waveforms for current and voltage in numerical simulations. A comparison with classical solution based on two levels VSI and three levels NPC-VSI highlights the advantages of the proposed solution. Calculation and simulation results show that the stored energy in reactive elements is reduced by a factor six whereas the semiconductor losses are 40% lower. Experimental results obtained on a scaled demonstrator (1.5 kVA) validate the principle of the active Steinmetz circuit.

Este trabalho se insere no contexto de redução de vibrações de rotores via mancais ativos. Essas vibrações são causadas pelo desbalanço do próprio rotor e possuem frequência igual à frequência de rotação desse rotor. O desbalanço pode ser modelado como uma força de perturbação girante, sendo que uma técnica bastante conhecida para anular o efeito dessa perturbação é o balanceamento eletrônico, também chamado de compensação síncrona de desbalanço ou de regulação sincronizada. A presente dissertação traz duas contribuições para o tema. A primeira é a simplificação do compensador síncrono através de considerações de simetria do rotor e de isotropia dos mancais, e a segunda é a obtenção do modelo exato do sistema discreto resultante da aplicação da metodologia de compensação síncrona. Tais contribuições se valem da descrição do modelo em coordenadas complexas. À transformação de coordenadas reais para coordenadas complexas deu-se o nome de complexificação. Assim sendo, a complexificação do modelo permite dividir por dois a dimensão das variáveis do sistema (estados, entradas e saídas), além de dar sentido físico à separação entre os distúrbios diretos (caso do desbalanço) e os distúrbios retrógrados. Essa complexificação reduz o tempo de identificação da matriz de influência feita no balanceamento eletrônico, e o modelo complexificado obtido através das hipóteses de simetria e isotropia permite desacoplar completamente a compensação das perturbações diretas da compensação das perturbações retrógradas. / This work is inserted in the context of active attenuation of rotor vibrations. These vibrations are caused by the rotor\'s own unbalance and have a frequency equal to the rotor\'s rotation frequency. The unbalance can be modeled as a rotating disturbance force, and a well-known technique for cancelling the effect of such a disturbance is the so-called active balancing, also known as synchronous unbalance compensation or synchronized regulation. The present dissertation brings two contributions to the theme. The first one is the simplification of the synchronous compensator through considerations of rotor symmetry and bearing isotropy, and the second one is to obtain the exact model of the discrete system resulting from the application of the synchronous compensation methodology. These contributions make use of the model described in complex coordinates. The transformation from real coordinates to complex coordinates is defined as a complexification. Thus, the complexification of the model allows the division in half of the dimension of the system variables (states, inputs and outputs), as well as giving a physical sense to the separation between forward disturbances (case of the rotor unbalance) and backward disturbances. This complexification reduces the time of identification of the influence matrix made in active balancing, and the complexified model obtained through symmetry and isotropy hypotheses allows the completely uncouple of the forward disturbances compensation from the backward disturbances compensation.

The presence of vibration is an important problem in many engineering applications. Various passive techniques have traditionally been used in order to reduce waves and vibrations, and their harmful effects. Passive techniques are, however, difficult to apply in the low frequency region. In addition, the use of passive techniques often involve adding mass to the system, which is undesirable in many applications. As an alternative, active techniques can be used to manipulate system dynamics and to control the propagation of waves and vibrations. This thesis deals with modeling, estimation and active control of systems that have resonant dynamics. The systems are exposed to stochastic disturbances. Some of them excite the system and generate vibrational responses and other corrupt measured signals. Feedback control of a beam with attached piezoelectrical elements is studied. A detailed modeling approach is described and system identification techniques are employed for model order reduction. Disturbance attenuation of a non-measured variable shows to be difficult. This issue is further analyzed and the problems are shown to depend on fundamental design limitations. Feedforward control of traveling waves is also considered. A device with properties analogous to those of an electrical diode is introduced. An `ideal´ feedforward controller based on the mechanical properties of the system is derived. It has, however, poor noise rejection properties and it therefore needs to be modified. A number of feedforward controllers that treat the measurement noise in a statistically sound way are derived. Separation of overlapping traveling waves is another topic under investigation. This operation also is sensitive to measurement noise. The problem is thoroughly analyzed and Kalman filtering techniques are employed to derive wave estimators with high statistical performance. Finally, a nonlinear regression problem with close connections to unbalance estimation of rotating machinery is treated. Different estimation techniques are derived and analyzed with respect to their statistical accuracy. The estimators are evaluated using the example of separator balancing.

Tais sistemas, em especial os de distribuição, são geralmente desequilibrados e podem conter trechos mono, bi ou trifásicos, além de operarem com carregamento distribuído de maneira assimétrica, o que torna as grandezas elétricas observadas diferentes para cada fase analisada. Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos dois métodos, que foram implementados na ferramenta proposta: (i) procedimentos automáticos para ajustes ótimo de dispositivos de proteção em sistemas de distribuição desequilibrados; (ii) método para a análise gráfica do desempenho da proteção aplicada a sistemas desequilibrados. A ferramenta proposta foi desenvolvida em ambiente MatLab e permite também a síntese dos ajustes de proteções de sobrecorrente (mediante a utilização de um Algoritmo Genético) e de distância, além de calcular as relações de transformação para TCs e TPs.

Such systems, in particular distribution, are generally unbalanced, and can contain mono-, bi- or triphasic sections, and operate with asymmetrically distributed loads, which makes electrical quantities observed different for each phase analyzed. In this work were developed two methods, which have been implemented in the proposed tool: (i) automatic procedures for optimal settings of protection devices in unbalanced distribution systems; (ii) method for graphical analysis of protection’s performance applied to unbalanced systems. The proposed tool was developed in MatLab and also allows the synthesis of overcurrent (using a Genetic Algorithm) and distance settings and calculates the transformation ratios to PTs and CTs. The tool is calibrated by comparing the results obtained by the same with those obtained by actual equipment protection, has also been made tests with different systems in the literature.

Die Zunahme unsymmetrisch betriebener Kundenanlagen mit hoher Betriebsdauer und -strömen in Niederspannungsnetzen führt neben der stärkeren Belastung der Betriebsmittel und des Spannungsbandes zu einer Erhöhung der Spannungsunsymmetrie. Diese Arbeit untersucht diese Beeinflussungen anhand von Wiederspannungsnetzsimulationen bei verschiedener Durchdringung von Elektrofahrzeugen und Photovoltaikanalgen. Dazu werden anhand von Labor- und Netzmessungen probabilistische Lastmodelle für Haushalte, Photovoltaikanalgen und Elektrofahrzeuge entwickelt, welche die unsymmetrische Betriebsweise über einen Tag berücksichtigen. Die Auswirkungen auf die Spannungsunsymmetrie werden anhand des Verhältnisses zwischen Gegen- zu Mitsystemspannung und die Stromunsymmetrie anhand von unsymmetrischen Leistungsanteilen beschrieben. Neben der Analyse der Auswirkungen der unsymmetrisch betriebenen Kundenanlagen auf die erwähnten Kenngrößen werden mögliche Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung des Einflusses vorgestellt und durch Simulationen geprüft. Anhand der durchgeführten Betrachtungen und Simulationen wird ein Niederspannungsäquivalent abgeleitet.

When it comes to design a wind turbine rotor, several parameters have to be taken into account. The present work focuses on the inclination of the blades with respect to the rotor plane, namely the pich angle. The main goal of the project was to design a small-scale wind turbine rotor for wind tunnel tests and in this thesis the optimization of a first prototype is presented. The characterization of the performances was carried out by coupling two different approaches: an experimental and a numerical one. For the experimental part, a proper setup was built and the wind turbine model was tested in a wind tunnel. The results were compared with a Blade Element Momentum theory code developed in Python, that involved also CFD simulations to assess the aerodynamic properties of the blade sections. The analysis characterized the performances at variable collective pitch in terms of power and thrust coefficient, showing that the intitial blade design was not the optimal one. Therefore, the optimal pitch angle that maximize the power porduction was found for variable conditions. The second part of the experiments focused on the case of pitch unbalanced and the potential risks connected to it. As a result, the analysis demonstrated that any kind of pitch unbalance generates losses in the power production and may lead to a possible increase of the thrust. To compare the results, a modified BEM code was developed by assuming an axisymmetric axial induction factor. Finally, an additional analysis on the wind turbine oscillations was made, finding a connection between lateral vibrations and rotor unbalance and revealing the resonance frequency of the structure.

Five chapters of this dissertation concentrate on the characterization and cancellation of high frequency parasitic parameters in EMI filters. One chapter addresses the interaction between the power interconnects and the parasitic parameters in EMI filters. The last chapter addresses the characterization, evaluation and design of noise separators. Both theoretical and experimental analyses are applied to each topic. This dissertation tries to explore several important issues related to EMI filters and noise separators. The author wishes to find some helpful approaches to benefit the understanding and design of EMI filters. The contributions of the dissertation can be summarized below: 1) Identification of mutual couplings and their effects on EMI filter performance 2) Extraction of mutual couplings using scattering parameters 3) Cancellation of mutual couplings to improve EMI filter performance 4) Cancellation of equivalent series inductance to improve capacitor performance 5) Analysis of mode transformations due to the imperfectly balanced parameters in EMI filters 6) Analysis of interaction between power interconnects and EMI filters on filter high-frequency performance 7) Modeling and design of high-performance noise separator for EMI diagnosis 8) Identification of the effects of parasitics in boost PFC inductor on DM noise Although all topics are supported by both theory and experiments, there may still be some mistakes in the dissertation.

Les applications entrainées par des moteurs asynchrones consomment à elles seules la majorité de l’énergie électrique utilisée dans le secteur industriel. Des défauts, majoritairement d’origine mécanique, sont susceptibles de se développer au cours du fonctionnement de ces systèmes et rendent nécessaires la mise en place d’une maintenance souvent onéreuse. Afin de réduire ces coûts et d’optimiser la disponibilité des matériels, des méthodes de diagnostic peuvent être développées afin de détecter au plus tôt l’apparition d’un défaut. Cependant, la fiabilité de ces algorithmes et l’automatisation du diagnostic sont complexifiées par la diversité des systèmes alimentés par les variateurs de vitesse industriels ainsi que par le changement de leur point de fonctionnement. Afin de répondre à ces problématiques, un protocole de diagnostic permettant de réaliser une détection sensible et robuste des défaillances mécaniques est développé dans ce travail. Cette méthode consiste à segmenter le plan couple-vitesse du moteur surveillé et à réaliser des références statistiques caractérisant son fonctionnement sain sur chacune des zones de fonctionnement. Des indicateurs de défaut peuvent ensuite être définis statistiquement afin de quantifier l’écart du système vis-à-vis de son comportement sain. Ces indicateurs sont ainsi indépendants du système surveillé et de son point de fonctionnement. Les principales applications ciblées par ce protocole sont les systèmes de compression, de pompage et de ventilation qui représentent une part importante de l’énergie électrique consommée dans le secteur industriel. Le protocole de diagnostic développé dans cette étude est validé expérimentalement dans le cadre de la détection de différentes niveaux de déséquilibre mécanique mais également pour la surveillance d’un système de transmission de type poulies-courroies. De plus, les campagnes expérimentales sont effectuées sur plusieurs systèmes électromécaniques dont les propriétés sont foncièrement différentes afin de valider les performances de normalisation de ce protocole. / Systems driven by induction motors consume most of the industrial electric supply. Mechanical faults may develop over time and disrupt their proper functioning, resulting in high maintenance expenditure. In order to reduce these costs and to improve machines availability, diagnosis methods can be developped to perform the early detection of incipient faults. However, the variety of industrial applications driven by induction motors complicates the automation of fault detection. To resolve these issues, a sensitive and robust diagnosis protocol has been developed in two stages. First, the torque-speed plane of the monitored motor is segmented in different functioning areas. Then, a statistical reference is achieved on each operating zone in order to characterize the healthy working of the system. Statistic-based indicators may then quantify the system deviation from its healthy behaviour. These indicators are therefore independent of the monitored system and of its functioning point. The applications targeted by this study are fans, pumps and compressors which are widely used in industrial processes. This diagnosis protocol is experimentally validated on the detection of several levels of mechanical unbalance and for the monitoring of V-belts drive health state. Moreover, test campaigns are achieved on varied electromechanical systems in order to validate the normalization performances of the developed protocol.

Series Active Filters (SAF) are designed for harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation of single-phase and three-phase voltage harmonic source type nonlinear loads. The novel Absolute Value Method (AVM) for load voltage harmonic extraction is proposed and applied in the control algorithm of SAF. The SAF compensated systems are represented by simplified linear models such that SAF controller gains can be easily determined. Harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation performances of 2.5 kW single-phase and 10 kW three-phase SAF compensated systems are evaluated by detailed simulations. Laboratory prototype single-phase and three-phase SAFs and loads are designed and manufactured. Digital signal processor based control platform is employed. Exclusive laboratory tests are conducted. Via laboratory experiments and simulations it is shown that AVM yields superior harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation performance compared to the conventional low/high pass filtering method. Theory, simulations, and experiments are well correlated and illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
