La charge d’un véhicule électrique constitue un enjeu stratégique pour les constructeurs automobile et forme un réel défi à relever avant de pouvoir comparer ces véhicules à la simplicité d'usage du véhicule thermique. En effet, l’autonomie limitée, la durée de recharge de la batterie, le coût du déploiement d’une infrastructure de charge rapide, l'impact significatif sur les réseaux électriques et le coût élevé de la batterie sont à l’origine de plusieurs projets de recherche axés sur l’optimisation de la chaîne de recharge du véhicule électrique. Afin d’améliorer l'autonomie d'un véhicule électrique, une solution contraignante mais stratégique consiste à embarquer le chargeur dans le véhicule afin d’assurer la conversion ac-dc de l’énergie à partir des prises de courant. Cette solution permet d’augmenter la disponibilité de la charge pour les utilisateurs. En outre, le chargeur embarqué peut réutiliser tout, ou une partie des éléments déjà existants et nécessaires à la propulsion du véhicule. L'idée étant de pouvoir employer certains éléments de la chaîne de traction électrique, déjà embarqués dans le VE (moteur électrique et onduleur de tension), et d’ajouter un filtre d'entrée et un redresseur afin de concevoir le chargeur. Cette solution permet de réduire le coût du chargeur, sa taille ainsi que le volume nécessaire à l'intégration de ses constituants électriques, on parle alors de chargeur intégré à la chaîne de traction. Cependant, la réutilisation de l’électronique de puissance embarquée engendre des problèmes de compatibilité électromagnétique avec d’autres équipements connectés sur le réseau électrique et aussi avec les dispositifs de protection domestique.Le problème majeur à lever est donc, la limitation des émissions conduites et plus particulièrement des courants de mode commun dans une gamme de fréquence importante. Ce projet de thèse a donc, pour objectif, l’amélioration de la disponibilité de la charge actuelle tout en réduisant le volume du filtre CEM passif. Nous cherchons, à travers ces travaux, à identifier des domaines d'améliorations possibles, à proposer des solutions à bas coûts et à intégrer des modifications au niveau de la commande et de la topologie afin d'optimiser le comportement CEM, tant en basses fréquences (0 - 2 kHz) qu’en hautes fréquences (150 Hz- 30 MHz), de ce chargeur embarqué intégré sans isolation galvanique. Les propositions doivent répondre simultanément aux besoins de recharge domestique en monophasé (à 3.7 kW et à 7.4 kW) et rapide en triphasé (à 22 kW et à 43 kW) sans pour autant augmenter le volume ni les coûts engendrés. Ainsi, cinq axes de travail sont étudiés: l’optimisation du comportement CEM (0-2 kHz) du chargeur en monophasé ; l’optimisation du comportement CEM (0-2 kHz) du chargeur en triphasé ; le développement, la mise en œuvre et l’instrumentation de deux bancs expérimentaux exploités pour l’obtention de résultats; la proposition d’une approche de modélisation CEM de la structure qui tient compte du mode commun et du mode différentiel ; et la proposition de solutions pour la réduction des émissions conduites (150 kHz – 30 MHz). / Battery chargers for electric vehicles are classified as on-board or off-board chargers. Off-board chargers are not constrained by size or weight but introduce additional cost to the infrastructure through the deployment of a high number of charging stations. In order to meet the needs of electric vehicle users in terms of charging availability, on-board chargers that achieve ac/dc conversion are retained. Furthermore, on-board chargers are classified as standalone or integrated systems. By reusing parts of the traction power train for charging, the latter reduces the cost of the charger. Disadvantages of integrated systems include electromagnetic compatibility issues and complex control schemes.This work presents the power quality performance analysis and control optimization of an on-board non-galvanically isolated electric vehicle charger integrated to the traction’s power train. In order to be able to evaluate the high frequency conducted common mode emissions (150 kHz - 30MHz) of a power conversion structure, one needs to develop a good current control scheme that establishes a high-quality low frequency behavior (0 - 2 kHz). Therefore, different aspects related to the power factor correction of the single-phase as well as the three-phase charging configurations are studied: the control scheme for the regulation of the charging power, the displacement power factor correction, the suppression of the grid current harmonics and the active damping of the input filter’s resonance. Two experimental test benches are developed using two different technologies (Silicon IGBTs vs. Silicon Carbide Mosfets). Experimental results are provided.This work also presents a comprehensive approach to modeling the CM and the DM EMI behavior of a power electronics structure. This method is applied to the charger in its single-phase and three-phase configurations. The models allow to evaluate the fluctuating internal nodes and to study the effect of various proposed mitigation solutions on the CM emissions. The models are also developed in the intent of being injected into optimization algorithms for the future design of an optimal EMI filter.

Småskalig vattenkraft är en stor användare av reaktiv effekt då de ofta har asynkrongeneratorer. Det gör att det finns ett reellt behov för faskompensering, dels för att minska distorsion i nätet samt för att förbättra deras ekonomiska ställning, då elbolag ofta tar ut en avgift för överskridande användning av reaktiv effekt. Det ligger också i allmänhetens intresse att ha en god elkvalitet och hålla störningar och avbrott nere, vilket kan erhållas med faskompensering och filtrering av övertoner. Det finns olika tekniker för faskompensering med sina respektive för- och nackdelar som specificeras efter anläggningens krav och förhållanden. Dessa tekniker är ett kondensatorbatteri, passiv och aktiv reglering, övermagnetiserad synkronmaskin, static var compensator (SVC) och static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Med hjälp av simuleringar och ekonomisk kalkylering har deras egenskaper och investeringspotential analyserats. Det har resulterat i att ett kondensatorbatteri är en ekonomiskt god investering men med nackdelen att det blir en stor transient vid inkoppling. Aktiv reglering bistår med en snabb, kontinuerlig faskompensering men har större driftkostnader och en kortare livslängd. Övermagnetiserad synkronmaskin har en god ekonomisk framtidsutsikt men med en något långsammare reaktionstid. SVC och STATCOM är mer applicerbar på större anläggningar, eller för nät som har en större nytta av dess flexibilitet. / Small scale hydropower is a big user of reactive power, mainly because of their use of asynchrounous generators. Power companies are charging their customers a fee for an extensive use of reactive power. Which gives rise to a need of correction of the power factor as well as reduction of distorsion in the network. It is also in the interest of the general public to acquire a good electric quality in terms of keeping distorsion and interruptions in the network to a minimum. This can be achieved by using different methods for power factor correction and filtration of harmonics. These methods have their own inherent advantages and disadvantages described after the facility’s specific needs and requirements. These methods are a capacitor bank, passive and active regulation, overexcited synchronous machine, static var compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Simulations and economical calculations have been used to determine these properties. A capacitor bank has been proven to be a good economical investment, but it has high transients during switching conditions. Active regulation also shows a good profitability and provides a fast, continuous regulation of the reactive power, though it has higher operating costs and low life expectancy. The overexcited synchronous generator has a positive outlook in economic terms, with the drawback of a slower response time. SVC and STATCOM are more applicable to larger facilities or weak networks.

Two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) have attracted increasing interests for (opto)-electronics and spintronics. They generally consist of van der Waals stacked layers and exhibit layer-depended electronic properties. While considerable efforts have been made to regulate the charge transport within a layer, precise control of electronic coupling between layers has not yet been achieved. Herein, we report a strategy to precisely tune interlayer charge transport in 2D c-MOFs via side-chain induced control of the layer spacing. We design hexaiminotriindole ligands allowing programmed functionalization with tailored alkyl chains (HATI_CX, X = 1,3,4; X refers to the carbon numbers of the alkyl chains) for the synthesis of semiconducting Ni3(HATI_CX)2. The layer spacing of these MOFs can be precisely varied from 3.40 to 3.70 Å, leading to widened band gap, suppressed carrier mobilities, and significant improvement of the Seebeck coefficient. With this demonstration, we further achieve a record-high thermoelectric power factor of 68 ± 3 nW m−1 K−2 in Ni3(HATI_C3)2, superior to the reported holes-dominated MOFs.

In recent years, photovoltaic (PV) power production have seen an increase and the PV power systems are often located in the distribution grids close to the consumers. Since the distributions grids rarely are designed for power production, investigation of its effects is needed. It is seen in this thesis that PV power production will cause voltages to rise, potentially to levels exceeding the limits that grid owners have to abide by. A model of a distribution grid is developed in MathWorks MATLAB. The model contains a transformer, cables, households, energy storage systems (ESS:s) and photovoltaic power systems. The system is simulated by implementing a numerical Forward Backward Sweep Method, solving for powers, currents and voltages in the grid. PV power systems are added in different configurations along with different configurations of ESS:s. The results are analysed, primarily concerning voltages and voltage limits. It is concluded that addition of PV power production in the distribution grid affects voltages, more or less depending on where in the grid the systems are placed and what peak power they have. It is also concluded that having energy storage systems in the grid, changing the power factor of the inverter for the PV systems or lowering the transformer secondary-side voltage can bring the voltages down. / På senare tid har det skett en ökning i antalet solcellsanläggningar som installeras i elnätet och dessa är ofta placerade i distributionsnäten nära hushållen. Eftersom distributionsnäten sällan är dimensionerade för produktion så behöver man utreda effekten av det. I det här arbetet visas det att solcellsproduktion kommer att öka spänningen i elnätet, potentiellt så mycket att de gränser elnätsägarna måste hålla nätet inom överstigs. En modell över lågspänningsnätet skapas i MathWorks MATLAB. Modellen innehåller transformator, kablar, hushåll, energilager och solcellsanläggningar. Systemet simuleras med hjälp av en numerisk Forward Backward Sweep-lösare som beräknar effekter, strömmar och spänningar i elnätet. Solcellanläggningarna placeras ut i elnätet i olika konfigurationer tillsammans med olika konfigurationer av energilager. Resultaten från simuleringarna analyseras främst med avseende på spänningen i elnätet utifrån dess gränser. De slutsatser som dras i arbetet är att solcellsproduktion kommer att påverka spänningen, mycket beroende på var i elnätet anläggningarna placeras och storleken hos dem. Det visas också att energilager, justering av effektfaktor hos solcellsanläggningarna eller en spänningssänkning på transformatorns lågspänningssida kan få ner spänningen i elnätet. / <p>LiTH-ISY-EX--19/5194--SE</p>

This thesis deals with the modeling, analysis and control of a novel brushlessgenerator for wind power application. The generator is named as rotatingpower electronic brushless doubly-fed induction machine/generator (RPEBDFIM/G). A great advantage of the RPE-BDFIG is that the slip power recoveryis realized in a brushless manner. This is achieved by introducing an additionalmachine termed as exciter together with the rotating power electronicconverters, which are mounted on the shaft of a DFIG. It is shown that theexciter recovers the slip power in a mechanical manner, and delivers it backto the grid. As a result, slip rings and carbon brushes can be eliminated,increasing the robustness of the system, and reducing the maintenance costsand down-time of the turbine. To begin with, the dynamic model of the RPE-BDFIG is developed andanalyzed. Using the dynamic model, the working principle of the generatoris understood and its operation explained. The analysis is carried out atspeeds, ±20% around the synchronous speed of the generator. Moreover, thedynamics of the generator due to external load-torque disturbances are investigated.Additionally, the steady-state model is also derived and analyzed forthe machine, when operating in motor mode. As a next step, the closed-loop control of the generator is considered indetail. The power and speed control of the two machines of the generator andthe dc-link voltage control is designed using internal model control (IMC)principles. It is found that it is possible to maintain the stability of thegenerator against load-torque disturbances from the turbine and the exciter,at the same time maintain a constant dc-link voltage of the rotor converter.The closed-loop control is also implemented and the operation of the generatorwith the control theory is confirmed through experiments.In the third part of the thesis, the impact of grid faults on the behaviourof the generator is investigated. The operation of the generator and its responseis studied during symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. An approachto successful ride through of the symmetrical faults is presented, using passiveresistive network (PRN). Moreover, in order to limit the electrical and mechanicaloscillations in the generator during unsymmetrical faults, the dualvector control (DVC) is implemented. It is found that DVC to a certain extentcan be used to safeguard the converter against large oscillations in rotorcurrents. Finally, for completeness of the thesis, a preliminary physical design ofthe rotating power electronic converter has been done in a finite elementsoftware called ANSYS. The thermal footprint and the cooling capability,with estimates of the heatsink and fan sizes, are presented. Besides, another variant of a rotating electronic induction machine whichis based on the Lindmark concept and operating in a single-fed mode is also investigated. It’s steady-state model is developed and verified through experiments. / <p>QC 20151006</p>

This master thesis presents the development of a 100 W LED driver, suitable for outdoor and street lighting. In order to match the driver and LED features, special functionalities are added to the electronic system. To obtain a long lifetime, electrolytic capacitor are exchanged by film capacitor, with longer useful lifetime. However, this practice outcome in higher bus voltage ripple, which have to be compensated in the LED current control stage, named as power control stage. To achieve special functionalities, the proposed driver is designed to operate with universal input voltage and dimming capability, being the entire driver control implement in a digital way, increasing significantly the LED driver flexibility. After the literature review, which aimed to evaluate the characteristics of the LED driver topology structure, the two independent stage topology is selected. The buckboost converter operating in discontinuous conduction mode is employed on the power factor correction stage. The power control stage is composed by the DC/DC LLC resonant converter. Once the LED driver topology is defined, each converter is designed, following by the small signal modeling and the control system design. Experimental results of the driver operating with a reduced bus voltage capacitance (25 μF), are presented for a universal input voltage (85 – 265 VRMS) and different dimming levels (100% − 30%). A high power factor (> 0,94) and a medium to high efficiency (> 82%) is noticed in whole operation points, as well as, a reduced flicker (< 10%), being in accordance with the recent released IEEE Std 1789-2015 and IEC61000-3-2 Class C. / Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um driver para o acionamento de um módulo de LEDs de 100 W, destinado a iluminação de exteriores ou iluminação pública. De forma a compatibilizar as características do LED com o driver, diferentes funcionalidades e condições de operação são adicionadas ao sistema eletrônico desenvolvido. Para alcançar longa vida útil, o driver desenvolvido substituiu os capacitores eletrolíticos por capacitores de filme. No entanto, essa prática resulta em maiores ondulações da tensão de barramento, as quais são compensadas pelo estágio de controle da corrente dos LEDs. De modo a aumentar as funcionalidades do driver, o mesmo opera com tensão de entrada universal e controle da intensidade luminosa, sendo o sistema de controle do driver implementado de forma digital, aumentando consideravelmente sua flexibilidade. Após revisão da literatura, a qual objetivou avaliar as características das estruturas e topologias empregadas em drivers para LEDs, seleciona-se a estrutura de dois estágios independentes. O conversor buck-boost operando no modo de condução descontínuo de corrente é empregado no estágio de correção do fator de potência. Para o estágio de controle da corrente dos LEDs, utiliza-se o conversor CC/CC meia ponte ressonante LLC. Definida a estrutura topológica, bem como os conversores utilizados, o projeto dos elementos é desenvolvido, seguido da modelagem dinâmica e do projeto do sistema de controle de cada estágio. Resultados experimentais do driver com reduzida capacitância de barramento (25 μF) mostram a sua operação com tensão de entrada universal (85 – 265 VRMS) e controle de intensidade luminosa (100% − 30%). Verificou-se um alto fator de potência (> 0,94) em toda a faixa de operação, rendimento média-alto (> 82%), bem como reduzida modulação de intensidade luminosa (< 10%), estando em conformidade com a IEEE Std 1789-2015 e a IEC61000-3-2 Classe C.
