Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Advanced Perspectives for Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Power Electronic Systems 2021”. Modeling and simulation tools represent a valuable design approach if research and development of simple or complex power electronic systems and their control are considered. The techniques improving the validity of the models are increasing the credibility of the results obtained by simulations, thereby speeding up the process required to develop prototypes of power electronic systems.

This Special Issue will deal with modeling and simulation procedures of power electronic systems and their control. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

  • Power electronic devices, converters, topologies—modeling and control;
  • Finite element analysis and multiphysical phenomenon of power electronic systems;
  • Modeling, analysis, and design of power electronic systems;
  • Electric machines and drives—modeling and control;
  • Embedded control of power electronic systems;
  • Simulation and analysis of power electronics in smart grid applications;
  • Optimization of electromagnetic compatibility and interference of power electronic systems;
  • Intelligent control techniques;
  • Battery storage systems and battery management systems modeling and control;
  • Simulation and modeling of vehicle electrification and hybridization by power electronic systems.

The compensating choke plays an important role in many high-power industrial applications with reactive power compensation. Due to the high number of devices installed every year and the EU’s efforts to reduce the energy demands of our society, it is advisable to maximize the efficiency of these devices. Due to the non-linearity of the magnetic core, the requirement of a linear operating characteristic, and the presence of a distributed air gap, this is a difficult task, with various technical challenges. This paper presents an analytical method for the electromagnetic design of a three-phase compensating choke with an air-gapped core and a flat load characteristic. The design method considers the fringing magnetic fields and the current-density dimensioning based on an advanced analytical thermal model. The proposed method is based on the use of existing analytical procedures; however, optimization was conducted to achieve a trade-off between the core and the I2R losses to manipulate the efficiency and the weight and identify optimization possibilities. The presented method was verified by the finite element method (FEM) using the engineering-simulation software, ANSYS. Full article

This paper presents a two-stage DC/DC converter with high efficiency utilized in an electronic power conditioner (EPC), which is widely applicable in satellite communications, etc. The galvanically isolated converter contains two cascaded converters: a buck converter, which is a pre-regulator operating under a closed-loop condition, and a push–pull converter, which is intended to boost the input voltage, operating under an open-loop condition. In the push–pull converter, the power switches, including the main switches and the rectifier diodes, operate under zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) at both switch off and switch on, which minimizes the switching loss. Furthermore, all of the parasitic parameters, such as the parasitic capacitance, leakage inductance, and magnetizing inductance of the main transformer, are fully utilized. Therefore, the presented topology benefits from fewer semiconductors but higher efficiency. The proposed topology produces less EMI noise because of ZVS and ZCS processes whose fundamental switching frequency interference is relatively low. The presented converter achieves a wide bus voltage regulation range in a satellite because of the pre-regulation of the buck cell. The theoretical analysis is validated by a prototype and its experimental results. The maximum efficiency of the converter can be up to 94.5%, and the high-voltage output is 7000 V. Full article

The aim of the proposed paper is the development of an electro-thermal model of semiconductor component using an indirect modelling approach. The approach is based on the integration of the component’s electrical properties considering non-linear behavior of a V-A characteristic. In this way, the identification of semiconductor material properties considering non-linear dependencies and semiconductor volume is provided. The main aim of the presented approach is simplification of the electro–thermal interaction within finite-element modelling of the semiconductor components. In this way, it is possible to omit more complex boundary definitions and the setting of the semiconductor-based physics. The proposed methodology is presented within the development of a simulation model based on a small high-frequency rectifying diode, taking into account its geometric dimensions and the internal arrangement of its structure. Simulation was performed as a transient analysis, while the results from the steady-state operation for various operational conditions were compared to experimental measurements. Comparison between simulation and experiments is within 5% of the relative error. The achieved results represent appropriate accuracy of model behavior compared to the real operation. Full article

The paper deals with the determination and compensation of non-active torques of parallel HEV using an auxiliary electrical PMSM or IM motor. The non-active oscillating torque generating by the ICE engine was estimated, and consequently, the compensating torque component of the current was determined. Based on real measured data, the four regimes of operation have been investigated: compensating non-active torques, parallel operation, regenerating for PMSM, and both parallel operations, together with compensation. Using of p-q theory, the power of fundamental harmonic is presented by average values PAV, QAV of total power waveforms p(t), and q(t). Worked-out simulation results are used for sizing and dimensioning of PMSM machine, VSI inverter, and traction accumulator-battery. Circuit simulator Matlab/Simulink was used for all simulation experiments. Full article
