Book Description
This dissertation studies hybrid dc-dc power conversion systems based on multiple-input converters (MICs), or more generally, multiport converters. MICs allow for the integration of multiple distributed generation sources and loads. Thanks to the modular design, an MIC yields a scalable system with independent control in all sources. Additional characteristics of MICs include the improved reliability and reduced cost. This dissertation mainly studies three issues of MICs: efficiency improvement, modeling, and control. First, this work develops a cost-effective design of a highly-efficient non-isolated MIC without additional components. Time-multiplexing (TM) MICs, which are driven by a time-multiplexing switching control scheme, contain forward-conducting-bidirectional-blocking (FCBB) switches. TM-MICs are considered to be subject to low efficiency because of high power loss introduced by FCBB switches. In order to reduce the power loss in FCBB switches, this work adopts a modified realization of the FCBB switch and proposes a novel switching control strategy. The design and experimental verifications are motivated through a multiple-input (MI) SEPIC converter. Through the design modifications, the switching transients are improved (comparing to the switching transients in a conventional MI-SEPIC) and the power loss is significantly reduced. Moreover, this design maintains a low parts-count because of the absence of additional components. Experimental results show that for output power ranging from 1 W to 220 W, the modified MIC presents high efficiency (96 % optimally). The design can be readily extended to a general n-input SEPIC. The same modifications can be applied to an MI-Ćuk converter. Second, this dissertation examines the modeling of TM-MICs. In the dynamic equations of a TM-MIC, a state variable from one input leg is possible to be affected by state variables and switching functions associated with other input legs. In this way, inputs are coupled both topologically and in terms of control actions through switching functions. Coupling among the state variable and the time-multiplexing switching functions complicate TM-MICs' behavior. Consequently, substantial modeling errors may occur when a classical averaging approach is used to model an MIC even with moderately high switching frequencies or small ripples. The errors may increase with incremental number of input legs. In addition to demonstrating the special features on MIC modeling, this dissertation uses the generalized averaging approach to generate a more accurate model, which is also used to derive a small-signal model. The proposed model is an important tool that yields better results when analyzing power budgeting, performing large-signal simulations, and designing controllers for TM-MICs via a more precise representation than classical averaging methods. Analyses are supported by simulations and experimental results. Third, this dissertation studies application of a decentralized controller on an MI-SEPIC. For an MIC, a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) state-space representation can be derived by an averaging method. Based on the averaged MIMO model, an MIMO small-signal model can be generated. Both conventional method and modern multivariable frequency analysis are applied to the small-signal model of an MI-SEPIC to evaluate open-loop and closed-loop characteristics. In addition to verifying the nominal stability and nominal performance, this work evaluates robust stability and robust performance with the structured singular value. The robust performance test shows that a compromised performance may be expected under the decentralized control. Simulations and experimental results verify the theoretical analysis on stability and demonstrate that the decentralized PI controller could be effective to regulate the output of an MIC under uncertainties. Finally, this work studies the control of the MIMO dc-dc converter serving as an active distribution node in an intelligent dc distribution grid. The unified model of a MIMO converter is derived, enabling a systematical analysis and control design that allows this converter to control power flow in all its ports and to act as a power buffer that compensates for mismatches between power generation and consumption. Based on the derived high-order multivariable model, a robust controller is designed with disturbance-attenuation and pole-placement constraints via the linear matrix inequality (LMI) synthesis. The closed-loop robust stability and robust performance are tested through the structured singular value synthesis. Again, the desirable stability and performance are verified by simulations and experimental results.

Book Description
The energy transition initiated in recent years has enabled the growing integration of renewable production into the energy mix. Microgrids make it possible to maximize the efficiency of energy transmission from source to consumer by bringing the latter together geographically and by reducing losses linked to transport. However, the lack of inertia and the micro-grid support system makes it weak, and energy storage is necessary to ensure its proper functioning. Current storage technologies do not make it possible to provide both a large capacity of energy and power at the same time. Hybrid storage is a solution that combines the advantages of several technologies and reduces their disadvantages. Modeling and Control of Static Converters for Hybrid Storage Systems covers the modeling, control theorems, and optimization techniques that solve many scientific problems for researchers in the field of power converter control for renewable energy hybrid storage and places particular emphasis on the modeling and control of static converters for hybrid storage systems. Covering topics ranging from energy storage to power generation, this book is ideal for automation engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, professionals, scientists, academicians, master's and doctoral students, and researchers in the disciplines of electrical and mechanical engineering.

Book Description
Nowadays, renewable energy sources have gained escalating importance due to environmental and economic reasons. However, these energy sources are primarily located in remote areas and distant from load centers. High-voltage dc (HVDC) and medium-voltage dc (MVDC) systems have been proposed in the last decades for efficient and reliable integration of renewable energy resources. To date, a noticeable number of these dc systems are established around the world. Recently, researchers have proposed the concept of "DC grids," which can be realized by connecting the existing point-to-point dc systems. This structure can improve the efficiency and stability of the power system. However, one of the most concerning challenges related to this concept is the interconnection of already built dc systems. Because existing dc systems are built through time, they possibly have different voltage levels and grounding systems. To address this challenge, the dc/dc modular multilevel converter (MMC) is proposed in the literature as one of the most promising solutions. This converter offers the advantages of modularity, scalability, and high efficiency. Few studies have been conducted on the modeling and control of the dc/dc MMC. The literature falls short in several aspects, such as improved design, analysis of operation limits, fault-tolerant operation, converter analysis under uncertainty, and development of advanced controllers and efficient fault-blocking capability. This research aims to 1) develop an augmented design approach that considers both control and hardware aspects of the converter, 2) investigate the operation limit of the hybrid dc/dc MMC caused by the capacitors voltages unbalance, 3) develop a tailored fault-tolerant operation strategy without additional submodules (SMs), 4) analyze the unsymmetrical operation of the dc/dc MMC caused by parametric uncertainty, 5) develop an advanced controller based on the model predictive control for the dc/dc MMC, and 6) realize an efficient fault-blocking capability by proper selection of SMs. The first study in this thesis facilitates the dc/dc MMC design with a smaller number of SMs and higher efficiency. Unlike the previous literature, the analytical results of the second study show that the capacitors voltages balance in the hybrid dc/dc MMC limits the operation range of the converter. In the third study, first, the unique features of the dc/dc MMC are investigated. These features make the fault-tolerant operation possible without the need for additional SMs. Then, utilizing these features, a tailored fault-tolerant operation strategy is developed to cope with several SMs failures. When the parametric uncertainty comes into action, it can force the converter to work in unsymmetrical conditions. The fourth study develops steady-state models representing the behavior of the converter in unsymmetrical conditions, and then the maximum tolerable variation of parameters is found in different practical cases. An advanced controller based on the model predictive control is developed in the fifth study to improve the steady-state and transient performances of the dc/dc MMC. Finally, an efficient fault-blocking capability is realized by adequately selecting the number and type of SMs. Detailed time-domain simulations under the MATLAB/Simulink environment validate the analytical results. This research contributed to the fundamental understanding of the dc/dc MMC operation and significantly improved the converter efficiency, reliability, and steady-state and dynamic performances.

Book Description
The increased efficiency and quality constraints imposed on electrical energy systems have inspired a renewed research interest in the study of formal approaches to the analysis and control of power electronics converters. Switched systems represent a useful framework for modeling these converters and the peculiarities of their operating conditions and control goals justify the specific classification of “switched electronic systems”. Indeed, idealized switched models of power converters introduce problems not commonly encountered when analyzing generic switched models or non-switched electrical networks. In that sense the analysis of switched electronic systems represents a source for new ideas and benchmarks for switched and hybrid systems generally. Dynamics and Control of Switched Electronic Systems draws on the expertise of an international group of expert contributors to give an overview of recent advances in the modeling, simulation and control of switched electronic systems. The reader is provided with a well-organized source of references and a mathematically-based report of the state of the art in analysis and design techniques for switched power converters. Intuitive language, realistic illustrative examples and numerical simulations help the reader to come to grips with the rigorous presentation of many promising directions of research such as: converter topologies and modulation techniques; continuous-time, discrete-time and hybrid models; modern control strategies for power converters; and challenges in numerical simulation. The guidance and information imparted in this text will be appreciated by engineers, and applied mathematicians working on system and circuit theory, control systems development, and electronic and energy conversion systems design.
