    In response to the existing problems of traditional diode based clamp type wind turbine inverters,a hybrid clamp type structure was introduced. Based on the analysis of its working principle,a method for switching the switch state and a vector optimization selection method that can avoid modulation waveform burr line voltage were proposed,achieving balanced control of clamp capacitor and DC bus capacitor voltage. A third-order low-pass filter method with initial angle calculation was proposed to optimize the virtual flux orientation control strategy for the control of hybrid clamp type rectifiers in the unit. A direct power tracking control method for rectifiers based on improved virtual flux orientation was also presented. Finally,simulation and experiments were conducted on the system,confirming the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

    The load of a submerged arc furnace has many advantages,such as large single-unit regulation capacity,good communication conditions,easy control,and low economic retrofitting,making it an important flexible regulation resource for the power grid.However,there is currently a lack of effective digital simulation methods for modeling submerged arc furnace systems and their regulation characteristics.A time-domain digital simulation model for the power supply system of an industrial submerged arc furnace was established,which included an electric furnace transformer,short network,furnace body,and reactive power compensation,based on the actual electrical operating conditions of the submerged arc furnace.The power regulation characteristics of the submerged arc furnace were determined by representing the electrode regulation link with the time-varying arc length calculated through the Newton downhill method.The equivalent time-varying resistance was obtained by solving the arc differential equation using the Runge-Kutta method,enabling simulation of the power regulation process of the submerged arc furnace.This was achieved by encapsulating it with a custom module and integrating it with the system model to realize time-domain digital simulation.It is applicable to both AC submerged arc furnace and various electrode control strategies,and can be widely used for simulating the load characteristics of submerged arc furnace,flexibility resource assessment,and as a simulation platform for participating in grid interaction research.

    With the emergence of a large number of distributed power generations,various unbalanced and nonlinear loads are connected to the power grid,resulting in the distortion of the grid current,which brings adverse effects to both the power grid and electrical equipment. A multifunctional energy storage converter was proposed,which is capable of simultaneously realizing the compensation of reactive current,harmonic current and unbalanced current of the load. This converter used a phase-locked loop based on double second-order generalized integrators to generate the required phase angle and frequency,and at the same time obtained the amplitude of the positive sequence component of the voltage.The converter obtained the command current by obtaining the positive sequence component of the load current and performing coordinate transformation,and then controled through the difference between the command current and the output current of the inverter to track the command signal.Proportional resonant control was used to obtain three-phase current,and pulses were generated through three-dimensional space vector control to control the conduction of the switch tube. By comparing with traditional energy storage converters,digital and analog hybrid experimental results have proven the effectiveness and reliability of this scheme.

    A backstepping error port-controlled Hamiltonian (EPH) controller based on a novel extended state observer (ESO) was designed to address the issues of insufficient rotor flux observation accuracy and slow system dynamic response in induction motor speed control. Firstly,an extended state observer was used to observe the rotor flux,expanding the change in rotor resistance in the model to a new state to improve the accuracy of rotor flux observation. Secondly,using the backstepping control method to obtain the balance point of the stator current of the EPH controller,designing a backstepping EPH controller can effectively improve the dynamic response ability of the EPH control. The experimental results demonstrate that the designed controller has better stability performance and faster response speed compared to the EPH controller.

    The permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is prone to current overstep in unbalanced grid,which affects the reliability of grid-connected system. To solve this problem,low-voltage ride-throgh control strategy based on direct power control was proposed. In this strategy,the direct power inner loop was used to control the grid-side inverter,and the active power and reactive power instructions were divided into DC components and double frequency AC components. The reference values of the DC components of active power and reactive power were calculated on the premise of the low voltage traverse reactive power support and the current amplitude of the inverter. The reference values of the AC components of active power and reactive power were calculated according to three different control objectives according to the voltage and current of the junction point. Then the control loop was designed by the quasi-proportional resonant controller. Finally,a simulation model was built based on Matlab/Simulink,and the simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can improve the dynamic performance of the inverter and improve the operation ability of the grid-connected system under the unbalanced grid.

    Accurate topology and line parameter information is the basis of state estimation and security control of distribution network. Affected by the performance of collection terminals and environmental factors,the measurement error of metering equipment often deviates from Gaussian distribution. Higher requirements are put forward for the robustness of topology and parameter identification model under non-Gaussian noise measurements.The mathematical optimization model of distribution network parameter identification was firstly constructed with the goal of minimizing power estimation error. In order to improve the performance of identification algorithm in complex error scenarios,the correntropy induced loss function was established,and an improved correntropy matching pursuit (CMP) algorithm was proposed based on half-quadratic optimization and noise filtering. Finally,the simulation analysis was carried out on IEEE 33- and 85-bus distribution system,and the test results show that the proposed method can correctly identify the topology and effectively estimate the line parameters in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian data noise scenarios.

    In recent years,the use of microinverters has received a lot of attention as one of the viable methods for residential and commercial PV power conversion systems. Flyback inverters operating in current continuous conduction mode (CCM) have been widely studied for their low output ripple current,high efficiency,and low cost. However,its control duty cycle to output current transfer function has right-half-plane (RHP) zeros,which may cause system instability when the inverter is combined with a high-gain feedback controller. In addition,flyback CCM inverters are subject to grid time-varying voltage disturbances. As a result,the conventional control scheme leads to inaccurate output tracking. An interleaved flyback CCM microinverter iterative learning control (ILC)method was proposed to help the system output converge to the reference trajectory by utilizing the prediction term and the current learning term. Compared with the traditional PI control scheme,the system output globally converges to the reference trajectory without state disturbance,output noise and initial state error.
