Publication Open Access Novel three-phase topology for cascaded multilevel medium-voltage conversion systems in large-scale PV plants(IEEE, 2020) Lumbreras Magallón, David; Barrios Rípodas, Ernesto; Balda Belzunegui, Julián; González Senosiain, Roberto; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónSolar photovoltaic renewable energy systems are expanding in the power sector thanks to its increasingly competitive prices. Traditionally, large-scale PV plants have reduced their cost by increasing the power ratings of the inverters and the line-frequency transformers. However, cost-reduction limits of large-scale PV plants are being reached. Cascaded converters have appeared as a solution to continue reducing the cost of large PV plants as they reduce the wiring cost. In this paper, a novel three-phase topology for cascaded conversion structures is proposed. It only has 2 conversion steps, one without switching losses. Hence, it increases the efficiency and reduces the cost of the previously proposed cascaded conversion systems. The topology is patent pending.Publication Open Access On the stability criteria for inverter current control loops with LCL output filters and varying grid impedance(IEEE, 2017) Lumbreras Magallón, David; Barrios Rípodas, Ernesto; Ursúa Rubio, Alfredo; Marroyo Palomo, Luis; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y ElectrónicaThe use of LC and LCL filters and grid impedance variations are creating new challenges on the controller design for current control loops of photovoltaic and wind turbine inverters. In the design process, stability criteria such as Bode and revised Bode are commonly used. This paper analyses the limitations of Bode and revised Bode criteria to reliably determine stability and proposes a sufficient and necessary stability criterion, based on the Nyquist criterion, but that makes use of the Bode diagram. The proposed criterion, named generalized Bode criterion, is always reliable and helps the controller design. Relative stability in complex control loops is also studied and a relative stability analysis is proposed. Finally, the generalized Bode criterion and the proposed relative stability analysis are illustrated with a practical example in which a PI is designed in order to guarantee stability and achieve relative stability.Publication Open Access The generalized bode criterion: application to the dc voltage control of a three-phase photovoltaic grid-tied inverter(IEEE, 2019) Lumbreras Magallón, David; Barrios Rípodas, Ernesto; Urtasun Erburu, Andoni; Sanchis Gúrpide, Pablo; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaAs renewable energies are becoming more important in the electrical generation system, power electronic converters are facing new design issues related not only to their components but also to their control loops. In this context, the Generalized Bode Criterion (GBC) appears as a good tool to correctly determine stability and to help the controller design. In order to show the potential of the GBC and how it can be applied, this paper studies a dc voltage regulation with compensation of the photovoltaic power in a three-phase photovoltaic grid-tied inverter.
