    En este proyectose ha realizado una comparativa del control de corriente de red y el control de corriente del convertidor en un inversor conectado a red mediante filtro LCL.Utilizando un control PI escalar y vectorial, el objetivo es el de determinar qué opción es más favorable para evitar problemas de inestabilidad en la conexión a redes débiles. Para ello, utilizando MATLAB, se han analizado los rangos de estabilidad de los sistemas en función de su frecuencia de resonancia siguiendo el Criterio Generalizado de Bode para sistemas SISO y MIMO. Además, se ha realizado el estudio de su composición de armónicos comparándolos con la norma alemana BDEW de 2008para la conexión de plantas de generación a red. Del estudio se concluye que el control de corriente de red es una técnica más robusta para la conexión en redes con altas variaciones de SCR.

    (IEEE, 2020) Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Samanes Pascual, Javier; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; López Taberna, Jesús; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica
    Several active damping strategies have been proposed in the literature for grid-connected converters with LCL filter but there are not specific strategies for DFIG wind turbines. In this system, there is an interaction between the two converters of the back-to-back conversion structure, which must be properly modeled in order to design effective damping strategies for the LCL filter resonant poles. This paper proposes a robust active damping strategy for DFIG wind turbines with LCL filter that considers the special features of this system. In this technique the filter capacitor current is fed back through a lag compensator that adjusts the delay of the feedback loop to emulate a virtual impedance that has dominant resistive behavior in the range of possible resonance frequencies. It is shown that a similar damping of the LCL filter resonance is achieved when the strategy isimplemented in either of the two converters.

    Control predictivo de un inversor trifásico conectado a red
    (2021) Pascual Iglesias, Íñigo; Samanes Pascual, Javier; Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial, Informática y de Telecomunicación; Industria, Informatika eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzako Goi Mailako Eskola Teknikoa
    El objetivo del Trabajo de Fin de Grado es desarrollar el control predictivo para un inversor trifásico conectado a red. En primer lugar, se implementará el control predictivo de la corriente, y posteriormente el control de la tensión del bus de continua. Este control genera un espectro armónico en la corriente aleatorio que es inaceptable para la conexión a red, por esta razón se analizará como limitar la frecuencia de conmutación. La respuesta de este control predictivo se comparará con la de un control lineal con un PI. Como herramienta de simulación se utilizará Matlab/Simulink.

    Control strategies for high-power wind turbines with selective harmonic mitigation pulse-width modulation
    (2024) Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; Samanes Pascual, Javier; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    Con el fin de reducir el coste de la energía eólica marina, la potencia nominal de los aerogeneradores marinos ha aumentado en los últimos años, alcanzando el rango de 10 a 15 MW. Para alcanzar potencias tan elevadas, los aerogeneradores se conectan a la red de media tensión mediante convertidores NPC de tres niveles con IGBTs de alta tensión, que funcionan con frecuencias de conmutación bajas para reducir las pérdidas de conmutación. Para cumplir el requisito de emisión de armónicos cuando se utilizan estos convertidores de media tensión, la técnica de modulación por ancho de pulso para la mitigación selectiva de armónicos (SHMPWM, por sus siglas en inglés) es una alternativa interesante, ya que permite reducir el tamaño del filtro de armónicos a la vez que se trabaja con frecuencias de conmutación bajas. Sin embargo, su combinación con estrategias clásicas de control lineal limita la respuesta dinámica del convertidor. En este contexto, el objetivo principal de esta tesis es la combinación de la técnica SHMPWM con estrategias de control adecuadas que permitan satisfacer los requisitos de conexión a red en régimen permanente y durante transitorios. Para ello, se han abordado las siguientes líneas de investigación: Diseño de técnicas de modulación de mitigación selectiva de armónicos para cumplir los límites de emisión de armónicos. Análisis de las estrategias de control lineal con SHMPWM en términos de cumplimiento de los requisitos de conexión a la red. Análisis, adaptación y desarrollo de estrategias de control predictivo por modelo combinadas con SHMPWM para el cumplimiento de los requisitos de conexión a red.

    Deadbeat voltage control for a grid-forming power converter with LCL filter
    (IEEE, 2023) Samanes Pascual, Javier; Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; López Taberna, Jesús; Pérez, Marcelo A.; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    Grid-forming power converters are controlled as voltage sources to regulate the grid voltage and frequency. These converters can increase power system strength if they impose a voltage waveform resilient to grid transients. For this reason, in this paper, we propose a deadbeat control strategy of the capacitor voltage for high power converters with LCL filter. To damp the LCL resonant poles, an active damping strategy is developed, based on a modification of the deadbeat control law. With this purpose, a notch filter is applied to the electrical variables allowing to emulate different damping resistances for the fundamental component and the harmonics. As a result, the active damping does not introduce tracking errors of the fundamental frequency component, while it provides damping to the filter resonance. The proposed strategy does not require knowledge of the grid impedance, an interesting feature in grid-connected power converters because the grid impedance is generally unknown. Experimental results validate the proposed strategy.

    Dual-stage control strategy for a three-level neutral point clamped converter with selective harmonic mitigation PWM
    (IEEE, 2023-11-01) Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Norambuena, Margarita; Samanes Pascual, Javier; Lezana, Pablo; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; López Taberna, Jesús; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Grid-connected converters must meet the requirements imposed by grid codes, such as harmonic emission limits and grid voltage support during voltage dips. Selective harmonic mitigation pulsewidth modulation (SHMPWM) is a very interesting technique for high power converters to meet the maximum harmonic emission levels, while keeping a low switching frequency. However, the combination of this modulation with a proportional integral (PI) controller requires slow dynamics, which makes it difficult to comply with the dynamic response requirements of grid codes. As an alternative, model predictive control (MPC) offers a very fast dynamic response, but a wide spread harmonic spectrum in steady state. Thus, the combination of MPC with a PI controller with SHMPWM is advantageous. In this work, a dual-stage control strategy is implemented. During transients, finite control set MPC (FCS-MPC) is activated to rapidly drive the current to the desired reference, while in steady state, the PI controller with SHMPWM is used. Therefore, the dual-stage control strategy allows to comply with the two requirements of grid codes, becoming a suitable strategy for grid-connected converters.

    Robust active damping strategy for DFIG wind turbines

    Doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) with an LCL filter are widely used for wind power generation. In these energy conversion systems, there is an interaction between the grid-side converter (GSC) and the rotor-side converter (RSC) control loops, the generator and the LCL filter that must be properly modeled. Such interaction between the GSC and the RSC proves to have a significant influence on the stability. Several active damping (AD) methods for grid-connected converters with an LCL filter have been proposed, nevertheless, the application of these techniques to a DFIG wind turbine is not straightforward, as revealed in this article. To achieve a robust damping irrespective of the grid inductance, this article proposes an AD strategy based on the capacitor current feedback and the adjustment of the control delays to emulate a virtual impedance, in parallel with the filter capacitor, with a dominant resistive component in the range of possible resonance frequencies. This work also proves that, by applying the AD strategy in both converters simultaneously, the damping of the system resonant poles is maximized when a specific value of the grid inductance is considered. Experimental results show the interaction between the GSC and the RSC and validate the proposed AD strategy. © 1986-2012 IEEE.

    Students in the STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), do not only require deep technical knowledge, but a complete set of global skills related to management, teamwork, lifelong learning, personal development, communications skills or proactiveness, abilities often referred as soft-skills. Student-led organizations, and specifically, university student associations, are one of the best alternatives to promote the acquisition of soft-skills in STEM high education fields. These skills are competences already included in official university programs that can hardly be addressed or acquired from traditional university education. This article studies how student enrollment in student led organizations (SLOs), with an active participation on their organization and activities, allows engineering students to achieve a better development of these soft skills. As case study, a medium size university, with 9000-students and eleven SLOs, six of them focused on STEM related fields, is used in this paper. A survey is conducted among the university community to identify their degree of participation in SLOs, and to test whether participation in these initiatives increases students' self-perception of their soft skill acquisition during their university studies. This survey shows how students of engineering programs, with a high degree of involvement in SLOs, demonstrated greater confidence in their soft skills at the end of their university years.

    Selective harmonic mitigation: limitations of classical control strategies and benefits of model predictive control
    (IEEE, 2023) Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Samanes Pascual, Javier; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; López Taberna, Jesús; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Selective harmonic mitigation pulsewidth modulation (SHMPWM) combined with model predictive control (MPC) is a promising approach for grid-connected power converters. SHMPWM can guarantee grid code compliance in steady state, e.g. grid harmonic injection, with a reduced output converter filter, while MPC improves dynamic response and allows grid code compliance in the event of grid transients. This paper presents a survey of the MPC strategies already published in the literature developed for their use with SHMPWM. The existing strategies fall into two categories: direct model predictive control with an implicit selective harmonic mitigation modulator, and direct model predictive control based on finite control set (FCS-MPC). One representative control strategy of each group is compared to each other and to the performance of classical proportional- integral (PI) controllers combined with SHMPWM. The goal is to identify the potential benefits of MPC for grid-connected power converters, and determine the main advantages and limitations of the two selected state-of-the-art control strategies. Their performance is assessed through Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) experimental results in terms of real-time implementation, harmonic content grid code compliance, dynamic response and performance under grid transients.

    Small-signal stability analysis of power converters with optimal pulsewidth modulation strategies
    (IEEE, 2023-08-31) Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Samanes Pascual, Javier; López Taberna, Jesús; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Optimal pulsewidth modulation strategies are commonly used in power electronics applications with closed-loop controllers. However, there is a lack of specific studies in the literature that analyze and study the dynamics of these modulators, which makes it difficult to derive small-signal models for stability analysis and controller design. Moreover, in many studies, the influence of optimal pulsewidth modulation on the small-signal stability analysis is disregarded. This article addresses these issues by proposing a modeling methodology for optimal pulsewidth modulators, applied to a selective harmonic elimination modulator. The proposed methodology is based on the frequency response analysis, which is particularly convenient for controller design. The study shows that the classical zero-order hold model employed for carrier-based pulsewidth modulators is valid for characterizing the dynamics of optimal pulse-width modulation strategies. Simulation results validate this conclusion.

    Sub-synchronous resonance damper based on the stator voltage feedback for DFIG wind turbines
    (IEEE, 2020) Samanes Pascual, Javier; Rosado Galparsoro, Leyre; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; López Taberna, Jesús; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines connected to series compensated grids are prone to sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) instability. In this paper we develop a model to analyze SSRs and propose a damping strategy based on the stator voltage feedback that is implemented in the rotor-side converter (RSC). The control strategy is based on local variables that are already measured, so it is applicable to any new or existing DFIG wind turbine. Simulation results performed fora real wind farm where sub-synchronous resonances were reported validate the proposed damping strategy.
