This paper proposes an overall practical stability assessment for a multi-port single-phase solid-state transformer (MS3T) in the electromagnetic timescale. When multiple stable subsystems are combined into one MS3T, the newly formed MS3T has a certain possibility to be unstable. Thus, this paper discusses the stability assessment of the MS3T in detail. First and foremost, the structure of the MS3T and its three stage control strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the stability analysis of each of the MS3T’s subsystems is achieved through the closed loop transfer function of each subsystem, respectively, including an AC-DC front-end side converter, dual active bridge (DAB) with a high-frequency (HF) or medium-frequency (MF) transformer, and back-end side incorporating DC-AC and dc-dc converters. Furthermore, the practical impedance stability criterion in the electromagnetic timescale, which only requires two current sensors and one external high-bandwidth small-signal sinusoidal perturbation current source, is proposed by the Gershgorin theorem and Kirchhoff laws. Finally, the overall stability assessment, based on a modified impedance criterion for the MS3T is investigated. The overall practical stability assessment of the MS3T can be validated through extensive simulation and hardware results.

. A method of stability analysis for combined ship (oil carrier/platform ship type) at the stage of design study is presented. It should be noted that not all of ship’s main seaworthiness and operational characteristics are the result of a simple addition of the characteristics of an oil carrier and a platform ship. Their mutual influence takes place, which should be taken into account when analysing the stability in the multivariant optimization problems of internal and external design of such ships. This leads to the requirement to adjust the known methods of stability analysis at the initial stages of ship design, which was the purpose of the present work and its originality. Taking into account the multivariance of the task and the hull design type, the stability assessment will be carried out through the analysis of the metacentric height extreme value on the assumption that the requirements of Russian River Register for admissible heeling angle at static wind effect are met. In order to account for nonlinearity of static stability curve when inclining up to the angles of deck immersion into water and emergence of bilge, it is suggested to apply an approximate method of metacentric radius determination. The proposed method of combined ship stability assessment is recommended to apply at the stage of justification and analysis of ship’s key elements as a limitation in the problems of mathematical modeling of optimization of such type of ships. The method allows to exclude from further consideration at the design study stage the possible options that do not meet the requirements of seaworthiness.

Abstract The paper deals with a control of current source with an LCL output filter. The controlled current source is realized as a single-phase inverter and output LCL filter provides low ripple of output current. However, systems incorporating LCL filters require more complex control strategies and there are several interesting approaches to the control of this type of converter. This paper presents the inverter control algorithm, which combines model based control with a direct current control based on resonant controllers and single-phase vector control. The primary goal is to reduce the current ripple and distortion under required limits and provides fast and precise control of output current. The proposed control technique is verified by measurements on the laboratory model.

Due to the internal dynamics of the modular multilevel converter (MMC), the coupling between the positive and negative sequences in impedance, which is defined as frequency coupling, inherently exists in MMC. Ignoring the frequency coupling of the MMC impedance model may lead to inaccurate stability assessment, and thus the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) impedance model has been developed to consider the frequency coupling effect. However, the generalized Nyquist criterion (GNC), which is used for the stability analysis of an MIMO model, is more complicated than the stability analysis method applied on single-input-single-output (SISO) models. Meanwhile, it is not always the case that the SISO model fails in the stability assessment. Therefore, the conditions when the MIMO impedance model needs to be considered in the stability analysis of an MMC system should be analyzed. This paper quantitatively analyzes the effect of frequency coupling on the stability analysis of grid-connected MMC, and clarifies the frequency range and grid conditions that the coupling effect required to be considered in the stability analysis. Based on the quantitative relations between the frequency coupling and the stability analysis of the grid-connected MMC system, a simple and accurate stability analysis method for the grid-connected MMC system is proposed, where the MIMO impedance model is applied when the frequency coupling has a significant effect and the SISO impedance model is used if the frequency coupling is insignificant.
