Design & Analysis of Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicle (EV)Applications


Design & Analysis of Wireless Power Transfer for

Electric Vehicle (EV) Applications

This Model includes
1) Typical wireless EV charging system.
2) General Two-coil WPT system
3) Power electronics converter and power control
4) Exposure limit boundary for an 8 kW WPT system
Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetic resonance is the technology which could set human free from the annoying wires.
The advances make the WPT very attractive to the electric vehicle (EV) charging applications in both stationary and dynamic charging scenarios.
A typical wireless EV charging system is shown in Fig.
It includes several stages to charge an EV wirelessly. First, the utility ac power is converted to a dc power source by an ac to dc converter with power factor correction.
Then, the dc power is converted to a high-frequency ac to drive the transmitting coil through a compensation network. The high-frequency current in the transmitting coil generates an alternating magnetic field, which induces an ac voltage on the receiving coil.

By resonating with the secondary compensation network, the transferred power and efficiency are significantly improved. At last, the ac power is rectified to charge the battery. L1 represents the self-inductance of the primary side transmitting coil and L2 represents the self-inductance of the receiving coil. S1 and S2 are the apparent power goes into L1 & L2. S3 and S4 are the apparent power provided by the power converter. S12 and S21 represent the apparent power exchange between the two coils. Kindly Subscribe My YouTube Channel...

Analysis & Evaluation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell based Waste Heat Recovery System(WHRS)

Analysis & Evaluation of   Solid Oxide Fuel Cell based  Waste Heat Recovery System(WHRS)

This example Matlab Script shows Overall SOFC Performances and Overall SOFC Performance with WHRS and Suitable for analysis of the following
1) Waste heat recovery for fuel cells 2) Waste Heat Recovery for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle
There are some useful methods to recover the waste heat in fuel cell systems:
When the waste heat is used for fuel reforming processes, the overall efficiency of fuel cell system can achieve about 60%.
For the combined solid oxide fuel cell system with gas turbine or micro gas turbine, a net electrical efficiency can be greater than 60% and the system efficiency is greater than 80%.
The combined heat and power in fuel cell systems is a good option when heat and electricity both are need to supply.
This method can be applied to high temperature fuel cell systems (SOFC).
It can be also suitable for the low temperature fuel cell systems (PEM).
Fuel cells are one of the cleanest ways of generating electricity, and as they the gain in popularity, the Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) of these systems becomes increasingly more important.
This is because it’s possible to reuse this waste heat that the system produces for the purpose of reaching a higher overall efficiency for the entire system.
Certain fuel cells, such as a proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), can operate at low temperatures with an efficiency close to 60%, making them well suited for non-stationary applications such as vessels or vehicles.

Predict the Partial Load Performance of Rankine cycles: Spencer_ Cotton Cannon_Method _ Using Matlab (Modeling of Rankine Cycles using the Spencer, Cotton and Cannon method )


Modeling of Rankine Cycles using the Spencer, Cotton and Cannon method
This program uses the Spencer, Cotton and Cannon method to predict the partial load performance of Rankine cycles, using as input data the pre-design characteristics of the cycle's components. https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/64914-modelling-of-rankine-cycles-using-spencer-cotton-and-cannon Félix Pérez Cicala (2022). Modelling of Rankine cycles using Spencer, Cotton and Cannon (https://github.com/FelixPerezCicala/ modRankineSCC), GitHub. The purpose of this video is to study the partial load performance of Rankine cycles using the Spencer, Cotton and Cannon method. This method can predict the isentropic performance of steam turbines in off - design conditions, using empirical correlations obtained by the method’s authors. A procedure was developed to calculate the performance and operating conditions of a Rankine cycle, using as input data the characteristics of the cycle’s components at the pre-design stage. The steam turbines and the feedwater heaters where modelled in detail. A Matlab program was developed using this procedure, thus enabling for the setting of different cycle options and an easy visualization of the results. The feedwater heaters are dimensioned and calculated using a thermal model. The program allows the user to simulate operation with off- line feedwater heaters and with partially closed extraction valves. The cycle’s pumps and condenser use a simplified model, and the steam gene- rator as well as the electric generator are not modelled, in order to give flexiblility program.

Modeling & Analysis of Residential Air Conditioning & Refrigeration System



Modeling & Analysis of   Residential Air Conditioning &  Refrigeration System

This example models a basic refrigeration system that transfers heat between the refrigerant two-phase fluid and the environment moist air mixture. The compressor drives the R134a refrigerant through a condenser, a capillary tube, and an evaporator. An accumulator ensures that only vapor returns to the compressor. This plot shows the rate of heat transfer between refrigerant and moist air in the condenser and evaporator as well as the rate of heat loss through the insulation of the compartment and freezer. It also shows the temperature of cold air and food in the compartment and freezer. At 11000 s, the compartment door is opened for 60s, resulting in a spike in compartment temperature. This plot shows the power consumed by the compressor and the cooling load of the refrigeration system, which is the rate of heat transfer in the evaporator. The coefficient of performance is the ratio of the cooling load and the power consumed. This plot shows refrigerant pressure and mass flow rate. The high pressure line is at around 1 MPa and the lower pressure line is at around 0.1 MPa. The nominal refrigerant flow rate is 1 g/s. The plot also shows the liquid volume fraction in the accumulator. This plot shows Fluid Properties with Temperature Vs Pressure Vs Normalized Internal Energy

Implementation of  Shortest Control Path Finder for a  Hybrid Electrical Vehicle Control  using Matlab Simulink



This example shows how to find the shortest control path for a hybrid electrical vehicle using Signal Tracing Command-line API. In this model, a Hybrid Electrical Vehicle drives on a slope and the initial speed is 0 m/s. Set the target speed to 30 m/s. In Driver, a PID control compares the actual speed with the target speed and sends a command to increase or decrease speed to the power demand estimation module.  Power demand estimation converts to the desired power, and the power is primarily provided by the electrical motor. If electrical motor is unable to provide enough torque, then the engine and provides additional torque. In Vehicle Dynamic, road resistance including rolling resistance and gravity resistance as well as the aero drag are calculated. The actual speed of the vehicle is constantly returned to Driver through the feedback loop until the vehicle reaches the target speed. 1) Trace All Sources that Control the Actual Speed 2)Obtain the Trace Graph 3) Find the Shortest Path from Trace graph 4) Simulation : Shortest Control Path for a Hybrid Electrical Vehicle Click here to download the demo files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NU4jML0j8DzMxP0Z43Q9okayTCyolLPf/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XRuV44_9TzpHn6G2qJ0rOnLEL29yhai4/view?usp=sharing Kindly Subscribe My YouTube Channel...

Design and Control of Dual Active Bridge Converter For Grid-Tied Inverters


This example shows standard control with 50% duty cycle on both bridges and phase shifting to control output voltage. It works well with a variable step solver as the PWM generator is designed for continuous time domains. Adrián Casado (2022). https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/63442-dual-pv-generator-mppt-boost-h-bridge-cascaded-inverter A dual active bridge is a bidirectional DC-DC converter with identical primary and secondary side full-bridges, a high frequency transformer, an energy transfer inductor and DC-link capacitors. Each switch is on for 50% of its respective switching period. The switch pairs in the two bridges all have the same switching period but are operated such that between each bridge a phase shift is introduced that varies based on the modulation derived from feedback measurements. An output voltage error signal is generated based on a set point value and this is fed through a digital PI regulator to generate the phase shift ratio for the PWM modulator.

Modeling and simulation of Transformerless Photovoltaic Residential System Using Matlab Simulink


This example shows the operation of a typical transformerless photovoltaic (PV) residential system connected to the electrical utility grid.

PV Array :
The SPS PV array model implements a PV array built of series- and parallel-connected PV modules.
In our example, the PV array consists of one string of 14 Trina Solar TSM-250 modules connected in series.
At 25 deg. C and with a solar irradiance of 1000 W/m2, the string can produce 3500 W.
Two small capacitors, connected on the + and - terminals of the PV array, are used to model the parasitic capacitance between the PV modules and the ground.

MPPT Controller: The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller is based on the 'Perturb and Observe' technique. This MPPT system automatically varies the VDC reference signal of the inverter VDC regulator in order to obtain a DC voltage which will extract maximum power from the PV string.

VDC Regulator: Determine the required Id (active current) reference for the current regulator.

Current Regulator: Based on the current references Id and Iq (reactive current), the regulator determines the required reference voltages for the inverter. In our example, the Iq reference is set to zero.

PLL & Measurements: Required for synchronization and voltage/current measurements.

PWM Generator: Use the PWM bipolar modulation method to generate firing signals to the IGBTs. In our example, the PWM carrier frequency is set to 3780 Hz (63*60).

Load & Utility Grid :
The grid is modeled using a typical pole-mounted transformer and an ideal AC source of 14.4 kVrms.
The transformer 240V secondary winding is center-tapped and the central neutral wire is grounded via a small resistance Rg.
The residential load (10 kW / 4 kvar @ 240 Vrms) is equally distributed between the two "hot" (120 V) terminals.

Simulation:
  • Run the simulation and observe the resulting signals on the various scopes.
  • The initial input irradiance to the PV array model is 250 W/m2 and the operating temperature is 25 deg. C. When steady-state is reached (around t=0.25 sec.), we get a PV voltage (Vdc_mean) of 424.5 V and the power extracted (Pdc_mean) from the array is 856 W.
  • At t=0.4 sec, sun irradiance is rapidly ramped up from 250 W/m^2 to 750 W/m^2.
  • Due to the MPPT operation, the control system increases the VDC reference to 434.2 V in order to extract maximum power from the PV string (2624 W).
  • These values correspond well to the expected values.
  • To confirm that, use the Plot button of the PV Array menu to plot the I-V and P-V characteristics of the PV string based on the manufacturer specifications.

The PV farm consists of two PV arrays: PV Array 1 and PV Array 2 can produce respectively 1.5 MW and 500 kW at 1000 W/m2 sun irradiance and at cell temperature of 25 deg C.

Each PV array is connected to a boost converter. Each boost is individually controlled by a Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPT) system.

The MPPTs use the Perturb and Observe technique to vary the voltage across the terminals of the PV array in order to extract the maximum possible power.

The outputs of the boost converters are connected to a common DC bus of 1000 V.

A three-level NPC converter converts the 1000 V DC to around 500 V AC.
The NPC converter is controlled by a DC voltage regulator whose job is to maintain the DC link voltage to 1000V whatever the amount of active power delivered by the PV arrays.

In addition, the controller has a reactive power regulator allowing the converter to generate or absorb up to 1 Mvar.

A 2.25-MVA 500V/25kV three-phase coupling transformer is used to connect the converter to the grid.

The grid model consists of typical 25-kV distribution feeders and a 120-kV equivalent transmission system.

Simulation:
In the Scenario & Scopes subsystem you can program four various disturbances:
1) Irradiance variation
2) DC link reference voltage step
3) Reactive power set-point variation
4) System fault.

Wecan simulate the model with the PV cells temperature set to 45 deg.C or to 25 deg.C by double-clicking on the corresponding blocks below the PV Arrays blocks.
