With the development of China’s electric power, power electronics devices such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have been widely used in the field of high voltages and large currents. However, the currents in these power electronic devices are transient. For example, the uneven currents and internal chip currents overshoot, which may occur when turning on and off, and could have a great impact on the device. In order to study the reliability of these power electronics devices, this paper proposes a miniature printed circuit board (PCB) Rogowski coil that measures the current of these power electronics devices without changing their internal structures, which provides a reference for the subsequent reliability of their designs.

Single-ended (SE) resonant inverters are widely used as power converters for high-pressure rice cooker induction, with 1200 V insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) being used as switching devices for kW-class products. When voltage fluctuations occur at the input stage of an SE resonant inverter, the resonant voltage applied to the IGBT can be directly affected, potentially exceeding the breakdown voltage of the IGBT, resulting in its failure. Consequently, the resonant voltage should be limited to below a safety threshold—hardware resonant voltage limiting methods are generally used to do so. This paper proposes a sensorless resonant voltage control method that limits the increase in the resonant voltage caused by overvoltage or supply voltage fluctuations. By calculating and predicting the resonance voltage through the analysis of the resonance circuit, the resonance voltage is controlled not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the IGBT. The experimental results of a 1.35 kW SE resonant inverter for a high-pressure induction heating rice cooker were used to verify the validity of the proposed sensorless resonant voltage limiting method.

Excitation Parameters

The major aim for achieving the successful synchronization of a wind turbine system to the grid is to mitigate electrical and mechanical stresses on the wind generator. During transient state, the gearbox, shaft, and rotor of the wind generator could be damaged due to mechanical stress. The rotor and stator windings of the wind generator, including its insulation, could be affected. This paper undertakes an extensive analysis of the effects of the excitation parameters of the power converter Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), on the transient state performance of the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), considering different scenarios. The optimal excitation parameters of IGBTs were used for further analysis of the wind generator, considering a new Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) scheme. The PLL computes the phase displacement of the grid required to achieve orientation and synchronization control. Consequently, it helps in preventing power system distortion due to stator-grid interphase. This paper proposes a new approach that integrates PLL control strategy and a Series Dynamic Braking Resistor (SDBR) to augment the fault ride through capability of a variable speed wind turbine that is DFIG-based. The SDBR helps the post fault recovery of the wind generator. Simulations were run in Power System Computer Aided Design and Electromagnetic Transient state Including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC) to examine severe fault conditions, and to test the robustness of the controllers employed. The results show that the proposed hybrid control strategy aids the fast recovery of the DFIG wind generator variables during fault conditions.
