基于离散铁氧体桥和多抽头可重构耦合结构的双向长距离IPT系统

Integrated power converters such as shunt active power filters (APFs), when integrated with renewable sources such as solar PV, offer a more capable and cost-effective solution for both their core function and feeding the renewable power to the grid. Shunt APF is generally integrated with PV arrays on the common dc link to compensate for power quality issues and feed solar PV power simultaneously. However, the regulation of the dc link, which is the foundation of the operation of such converters, can be more challenging due to the inclusion of PV intermittency. So, the PI controller, mostly used for dc link regulation, should be tuned optimally considering the variable operating conditions. Most tuning methods, whether offline or online, rely on mathematical modeling of the converter and are affected by inherent inaccuracies. Therefore, this work proposes an in-plant PI tuning method for shunt APF, which does not require mathematical modeling and can be implemented in real-time within the actual plant and operating conditions therein. The method tunes the PI controller without having to relax the limits on its output, which are required for the safety of the hardware. The proposed method has been validated using real-time simulation and hardware setup of the PV-integrated shunt APF, and, in both cases, the method shows superior performance in regulating the dc link voltage of the integrated converter system under various operating conditions.
