Next-Generation Smart Grids: Power Electronics-enabled Autonomous Power Systems
|
Power systems are going through a paradigm change. A lateral system architecture and two technical routes will be presented to empower the power electronic converters existing in non-synchronous distributed generators and flexible loads to behave like virtual synchronous machines so that they can all actively regulate system frequency and voltage.

Active Front End Power Conversion! What? When? How?
|
Active Front End (AFE) power conversion can be a mystical technology. It promises lower harmonics, better DC bus regulation, and higher efficiency. But what is it really? Explore this technology and how you can use the NI Single-Board RIO General-Purpose Inverter Controller (GPIC) to control these devices.

Isolated Battery Charging Through Dual Active Bridges
|
Grid-tied energy storage systems are rapidly becoming popular due to the rise of distributed power generation such as photovoltaic arrays. A dual active bridge topology provides for bidirectional power transfer and isolation between the grid and the battery. This presentation will investigate controlling a DAB using the NI GPIC platform.

A Smarter Grid Needs Smarter Test
|
As digital control systems on the grid become more prevalent and more intelligent, more thorough test is required to insure the safety and compliance of the devices being deployed. A physical test bench or a few deployed test systems is no longer enough to guarantee product stability. Real-world use cases are used to illustrate this.

Wind Turbine Control: When can you trust your simulation model?
|
Do control engineers put too much trust in the Park and Clarke transforms? The vector relationships between balanced three phase power are the basis for traditional control algorithms and models of wind turbine generators. Can they be trusted? Under what conditions? We compared experimental results and FPGA simulation models to find out.
