Interaction of power electronics through the power grid
Due to the increase in renewable energies and the efforts to increase efficiency the amount of power electronic converters connected to the power grid are increasing. All power electronic circuits emit noise at and around the frequency multiples of their switching frequency. This research topic deals with the influence these emissions have on other power electronic devices. Two different approaches are taken as explained below.
The goal of this investigation is to model the transmission of emitted frequencies through the power grid in order to explain resonant phenomena in filters or combinations of other power electronic building blocks. Therefore a frequency domain simulation is developed using network theory (see figure 1). All components must be measured over a wide spectrum to be modeled in frequency domain. The simulations made are verified at a lab setup.
Time domain controller evaluation
Due to nonlinear consumers connected to the power grid the voltage waveform is anything but sinusoidal. For optimal utilization of power electronic converters the controller has to know the grid waveform as precisely as possible. Therefore the grid interfaces and measurements of the power electronic controller are studied in time domain. Special interest is put on Phase-Locked-Loops (PLL) and possibilities to determine the harmonics present in the power grid.
