Abstract

Distributed power system (DPS) distributes power amongst processing units such as power electronics converters with DC system. Due to the increasing usage of power converters in DPS system, the system becomes unstable and the converter tends to draw constant power needed by the load of the system. Constant power load (CPL) characteristic has negative input impedance that could produce instability problems in the DC bus system. Passive damping network which consists of series RC damping circuit was connected in parallel to the DC bus system with the purpose to reduce the instability. The passive damper was designed, simulated with MATLAB/Simulink and verified experimentally with different values of CPL power levels and input voltage changes. The obtained simulation results show that simple DC system with constant power load was successfully stabilized by the installation of the passive damping network. The experimental set up was also conducted to validate of the proposed technique, and the obtained results were in excellent agreement with the theoretical parts of the project.

Abstract

In distributed power system (DPS), the stability performance is always associated with the behaviour of constant power load (CPL). Since DPS large complex system build up from many power electronic converters, the DC bus of the system becomes unstable due to the strenuous action from power converters. When these converters tightly regulated, it behaves as constant power load and exhibit negative incremental input impedance which becomes the main reason in stability degradation of DPS. In this paper, four passive damping network topologies was proposed to reduce the DC bus instability. The best damping performance of the topologies was chosen and analysed using MATLAB/Simulink. The DC bus performances was studied in four cases which are damping behavior due to CPL power level, CPL disconnection, effects of filter and damping capacitor, and effects of filter cut-off frequency. Simulation results obtained shows that the DC bus was successfully stabilized and the resonance damped when passive damper installed. An experimental hardware tests was conducted to verify the proposed damping method and the results were compared with the simulated output waveforms. The analysis results in overshoot, settling time and steady state error of bus voltage shows system improvement with the proposed damper network.
