Abstract In view of the operating characteristics for voltage sags of AC side of the power electronic transformer(PET), a low-voltage ride through(LVRT) strategy adapted to bidirectional power exchange of PET is proposed for the purposes of maintaining the system stability, assisting the system voltage recovery and protecting PET safety. During the asymmetric voltage sag, the negative sequence current of PET is eliminated to ensure the symmetry of the injected current. According to the degree of positive sequence voltage sag, the reactive current injection is provided to assist in voltage recovery. According to the PET active power condition before the voltage sag, the level and direction of which are maintained as far as possible without exceeding the limit, for which the disturbance to the AC and DC grids is reduced. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed LVRT strategy is verified by simulation model.

This paper proposes a new power electronic transformer (PET) to be used for distribution system, which is composed of the three-stage power circuits. The input stage uses Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) to reduce the voltage stress rating of components, meanwhile, the harmonic components in the current will be deduced significantly, to make DC capacitor voltage of MMC rectifier balance, a control method is proposed. The isolation stage use a middle-frequency transformer to realize voltage conversion and isolation of the low-voltage side from the high-voltage side. In the third-stage, a inverter outputs the desired voltage and power to the load. The simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed PET system.

The AC/DC hybrid distribution network is composed of a medium-voltage DC bus, a low-voltage DC bus, and a power electronic transformer, and has the characteristics of multi-voltage level, multi-DC bus, and multi-converter, so its operation mode and optimal scheduling strategy are more complex. Firstly, this paper constructs the AC/DC hybrid distribution network using an power electronic transformer. Then, a two-layer control structure including a scheduling management layer and a bus control layer is proposed, which simplifies the control structure and gives full play to the role of “energy routing” function of the power electronic transformer. Moreover, the minimum operation cost of the AC/DC hybrid distribution network in the whole scheduling cycle is taken as the optimization objective, considering the characteristics of various distributed generations, the structure of AC/DC hybrid distribution network, and the interaction of “source–load–storage”. Finally, the optimal scheduling model of the AC/DC hybrid distribution network based on power electronic transformer is established, and the feasibility of the optimal scheduling strategy is verified by the open-source solver, which can realize the complete absorption of renewable energy and the optimal coordinated control of “source–load–storage”.

This paper proposes dual active bridge (DAB) based high frequency power electronic transformer (PET) for interconnecting medium voltage dc (MVDC) and low voltage dc (LVDC) grids for dc power distribution. The above proposed concept works on dual active phase shift principle and square wave HF modulation technique for bidirectional power transfer. Compared to the traditional dc transformer scheme, The proposed power electronic transformer (PET) can disconnect from LVDC distribution grid effectively as a dc breaker when a short circuit fault occurs in the distribution grid. The isolated DC-DC PET topology with a wide range of voltage conversion ratio is useful for High Voltage DC tapping. The DAB based on switched capacitor is connected to the medium voltage DC side and acts as an inverter. The proposed topology has the ability to transfer higher power, and lower circulating power, lower high frequency link voltage, and RMS current and peak values with the same transmission power in the MVDC side. This paper analyzes the topology, voltage and power characterization, control strategy in detail. Increase in the intermediate AC frequency will reduce the size of the transformer and other passive elements significantly in the circuit. The theoretical analysis is supported by MATLAB simulation.

Power Electronic Transformer (PET) has potential application value in distribution network. This paper presents a novel PET with only one stage single-phase to single-phase AC/AC converter at the primary side of the transformer, the high voltage end, which generates high-frequency alternating voltage. The secondary side of the transformer, the low voltage end, is also one stage AC/AC converter, by which low power frequency voltage can be created. The final stage is a resistive converter obtaining low DC output voltage and unitary input power factor. Consequently, the unitary power factor can be reflected to the mains side and the PET owns a four-quadrant operation capability. The theory of four-quadrant PET is analyzed and the simulation analysis using MATLAB/SIMULINK is also provided. The result shows that this kind of PET holds some prominent advantages such as simple structure, easy to control, safe commutation, unitary input power factor, bidirectional power flow and easy to cascade. So it has application value.

Abstract In this paper the control strategy of power electronic transformer (PET) is proposed. The analyzed structure of PET uses two seven-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) rectifiers. The electrical power of PET is transferred between DC-links of CHB converters using dual-active-bridges (DABs) and low voltage high frequency transformers. The roposed solution allows for controlling the active and reactive power with a low level of harmonic distortions. The DC-link voltages and the load of the utilized H-bridges are controlled using appropriate modulation strategy. The theoretical issues are confirmed by simulation and experimental results.
