Energy storage is important for promoting the renewable energy consumption and improving the grid resilience. Cost of energy storage system is a key factor to determine whether the energy storage technology can be industrialized or not.

Aiming at the methaneair mixtures at room temperature and one bar pressure, the breakdown tests in 500μm～5mm range of clearance have been performed to study the effect of gas dielectric on the breakdown of short circuit discharge with the IEC safety spark test apparatus (IECSSTA).

Short circuit discharge experiments of capacitive circuit in different media environment with the IECSSTA are performed, The experiment results are in good agreement with the analysis showing the feasibility of the proposed methods.

LCL filters are widely used in grid-connected inverters. However, the injected grid current control does not solve the problem of current harmonics and low bandwidth caused by the LCL resonance peak. The paper proposes an AD control method for LCL inverters, which is only based on the feedback of the grid current. The feedback loop uses the first-order HPF plus the first-order LPF for frequency selection, thereby suppressing the resonance peak. Due to the widening of the bandwidth of the feedback loop, this method is suitable for the resonance frequency shift phenomenon caused by the impedance of the grid. The paper also uses a harmonic compensation control strategy with damping, and analyzes the influence of this strategy on the performance of the inverter. The results show that it can effectively suppress low-frequency harmonics and improve the stability of the system under the impedance change environment. The effectiveness of the proposed control and design has been verified by MATLAB/Simulink simulation and 2kW experimental platform.

Abstract: As a novel multilevel topology，the modular multilevel converter (MMC) has been widely studied because of its application in HVDC. In this paper，the commonly used modulation strategies in MMC， carrier stacked PWM，nearest level modulation，and carrier phase shifted PWM are introduced. To balance the capacitor voltage of sub-module，several different capacitor voltage balancing algorithms are also analyzed. The carrier stacked PWM has the highest switch frequency which leads to the best capacitor voltage balancing performance. The nearest level modulation is easy to implement and the switching frequency can be restricted to a low rate. The carrier phase shifted PWM has a fixed switching frequency. To compare the three modulation strategies，a 31-level simulation model of MMC is built in PSCAD/EMTDC. The three modulation strategies and capacitor voltage balancing algorithm are realized in the simulation model. The performance of the capacitor voltage fluctuation，switching frequency，voltage harmonics and other aspect of performance are compared.

Based on the loss separation theory, the loss of ferromagnetic materials can be decomposed into hysteresis loss, eddy current loss and excess loss. To calculate the high frequency loss of the silicon steel magnetic rings, we propose a novel method to consider the influence of hysteresis characteristic and skin effect of the ferromagnetic material on its eddy current loss. The method couples the Preisach hysteresis model with finite element equations in time domain, which is based on the vector magnetic potential A, and uses the fixed-point technology which has good simplicity and robustness. The differential reluctivity is introduced to speed up the convergence of the solutions of finite element equations. At the same time, to overcome the difficulty to extract the statistical parameters of excess loss, a rational function is proposed to fit the statistical parameter extracted from the experimental measurements. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the experimental measurements, and the results show that the maximum error of the proposed algorithm is less than 10%.

The trend in intermediate bus converters is the increasing demands for output power and high operating frequencies. Due to the leakage-inductance and AC winding loss in high frequency, the traditional transformer can not guarantee the high efficiency of a converter, hence the matrix transformer is proposed. The matrix transformer can reduce the leakage-inductance and winding loss by shunting output current. This paper analyzed the characteristics of matrix transformer and its advantages at high frequency applications. Owing to core loss and winding loss of the transformer, there is a tradeoff between efficiency and the branch numbers of matrix transformer. To get the optimal branch number when designing LLC DC-DC transformer, finite element analysis (FEA) method is used to know the transformer loss. Meanwhile, layout consideration of transformer windings is taken to minimize via loss and via leakage-inductance when the secondary side of transformer is in low voltage and high output current situation. Finally, a 1.4kW the LLC-DCX prototype was designed on the mentioned approach and some experiments were made.

A PWM strategy with fixed frequency for bidirectional series resonant converter has been studied in this paper. The modulation strategy is based on the principle that voltage waves in original and secondary side have the same phase, which makes the voltage gain of the converter has nothing to do with the direction and amplitude of the transferred power. Moreover, the converter can buck or boost the voltage via regulating the duty cycle of voltage between midpoints of two bridges in both two directions. This paper analyzes the operation of the presented strategy and discusses the possible realizations of the PWM strategy. In addition, a 1kW prototype is built and tested to evaluate the feasibility of the presented solution. And the modulation strategy makes the direction of power flow can be changed automatically and smoothly since the converter has the voltage gain independent with the direction and amplitude of the transferred power.

The access to the distribution network of the electric vehicle charging station not only increases the expansion pressure of the power grid, but also causes a problem of low utilization of equipment due to the large peak-to-valley difference of the charging station.
