Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entstehung und Wirkung von Gleichtaktstörungen in elektrischen Antriebssystemen. Parasitäre Gleichtaktimpedanzen bilden zusammen mit Gegentaktimpedanzen des Antriebssystems parasitäre Resonanzschwingkreise aus, welche von den Schalthandlungen der eingesetzten Umrichter im Antriebssystem zum Schwingen angeregt werden. Einer der beiden Schwerpunkte befasst sich mit der Entwicklung einer analytischen Berechnungsmethode, um die vorhandenen parasitären Gleichtaktpfade sowie deren Resonanzfrequenzen zu ermitteln. Der zweite Schwerpunkt behandelt die Möglichkeit der aktiven Dämpfung von Gleichtaktstörungen. Hierzu analysiert ein Algorithmus jede einzelne Schaltflanke im Umrichter auf deren Wirkung im Gleichtaktsystem. Anschließend kann diese zeitlich derart verschoben werden, dass die Schaltflanke eine bestmögliche Dämpfung im Gleichtaktsystem erzielt. Einleitend werden die notwendigen Grundlagen zur Umrichtertechnik sowie der Ausbildung und Anregung von Resonanzschwingkreisen am Beispiel eines RLC-Reihenschwingkreises erklärt, der stellvertretend für das stark reduzierte Gleichtaktmodell eines modernen Antriebssystems steht. Die Literaturrecherche gibt einen detaillierten Einblick über aktuelle Methoden der Reduktion von Gleichtaktstörungen wieder. Viele wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen behandeln modifizierte Ansteuerverfahren für die eingesetzten Umrichter, welche gezielt die Gleichtaktspannungen eines jeden Spannungsraumzeigers ausnutzen. Die Theorie und Funktionsweise des neuen Steuerverfahrens HCad, wird mathematisch hergeleitet und anhand eines idealen Simulationsmodells untersucht. Die Auswertung der Simulationsergebnisse ermöglicht es bereits, die dämpfende Wirkung unter idealen Bedingungen zu quantifizieren. Die Umsetzung eines praxisnahen Laborprüfstands dient der Verifikation und dem Vergleich realer Messungen mit den in der Simulation gewonnen Erkenntnissen. Die durchgeführten Messreihen bestätigen die Möglichkeit, Gleichtaktstörungen mithilfe einer zeitlichen Flankenverschiebung im Umrichter zu bekämpfen. Des Weiteren ist gezeigt, dass die Anwendung der aktiven Gleichtaktdämpfung neben der eigentlichen Aufgabe eines Steuerverfahrens in vollem Umfang und über den kompletten Modulationsbereich eines Umrichters möglich ist.
The paper deals with the design of DC-side filters for three-phase voltage source converters of drives connected to an industrial or automotive DC-grid. It points out the problem of designing a filter if the DC-grid impedance and structure are unknown. Therefore, it presents a new non-linear hybrid filter whose filter effect is less dependent on the impedance of the downstream DC-grid and with better immunity against external interferences. The analytical and simulation based design process is explained with help of a concrete example. Results are validated by measurements on an experimental set-up.
Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) are being used in more and more areas of application. At the same time, their chemical composition and their designs are constantly evolving. Major developments are also taking place in the field of Battery Management Systems (BMSs), which are essential for the safe operation of LIBs. The focus is on intelligent charge redistribution between individual cells, called Active Balancing (AB). This thesis deals with the possibilities and limitations of AB. An empirical long-term experiment provides new insights into the ageing behaviour of batteries that are actively balanced during their entire service life. The main objective of this work is to to demonstrate influences on the ageing behaviour of batteries that are still unknown at present. A literature study shows that previous work in this area is often based on theoretical approaches and rarely has a functional proof through measurement results. Most significant statements from literature are examined. These include the increase in discharge capacity, energy efficiency and service life associated with AB, as well as lower parameter variation of the individual cells installed in the battery. Before starting the empirical experiment, the current state of the art is captured and a universal AB topology is selected from a large number of known systems. The operating behaviour as well as the balancing algorithms are explained in detail in order to be able to understand the influences occurring during the ageing of the batteries. The ageing experiment itself is a comparison test between commercial Passive Balancing (PB) and the novel AB. Two identical battery packs are aged under uniform conditions, but with the two different BMSs mentioned above. At the end of the ageing process, the battery packs are disassembled and the parameters of all individual cells are determined for further investigation. The main contribution of this work is the proof of effects through AB, especially with large battery loads. Both the increase in discharge capacity and the service life are demonstrated. The work shows how parameter variation of individual cells can be made visible during operation. It also presents diagnosis and calculation methods. The energetic efficiency of the batteries cannot be increased, since the self-consumption of the power electronics of the AB system is always higher than with PB. However, the overall efficiency of the battery increases due to an increase in capacity and an extension of the service life. The thesis also shows that with lower battery loads, the use of AB is not beneficial any more or may lead to negative effects. In such applications conventional PB is sufficient. The results obtained during pack ageing are additionally substantiated and extended by the measurement results of the individual cells. At the end of the thesis, all results and contributions are summarised. Suggestions for optimisation as well as further research ideas are presented as a possible starting point for further scientific studies.
The paper presents design and modulation strategy for a high bandwidth PWM-based amplifier. It consists of multiple H-bridges connected in parallel and switched sequentially. As the effective switching frequency is a multiple of the switching frequency of each single switch, the bandwidth is scaled by the number of H-bridges in parallel. The prototype presented supports a maximum number of eight H-bridges in parallel.
In this work, a battery consisting of eight commercial NMC/graphite cells connected in series was cycled to 60% of its initial capacity. During the test, special care was taken to ensure that the results were not influenced by either the module assembly or the module design. For this purpose, the cells were virtually connected in a laboratory environment with the help of the test device as if they were operated together in a battery. Extrinsic influences that affect cell aging were thus reduced to a minimum. Differential Voltage Analysis (DVA), Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum (EIS), and relaxation measurements were performed to analyze the aging behavior of each cell. The results show that despite a theoretically perfect module design, Cell-to-Cell Variations (CtCV) occurred during aging. The shifting Depth of Discharge (DoD) values among the cells further amplify CtCV. Lithium plating was also observed in the faster aging cells after cyclic aging, suggesting that this aging effect contributes significantly to the development of CtCV. After the aging test, the battery was equipped with an active balancing system that maximizes capacity utilization. More important, the balancing charges which are calculated iteratively within the used balancing algorithm show a strong correlation to the pure capacity losses and thus provide a new way to determine the capacity values of each cell individually without disassembling the battery.
The objective of this paper is to apply a hybrid phasor-(RMS) and electromagnetic transient-based (EMT) simulation approach to a multi-terminal modular multilevel converter high voltage direct current (MT MMC-HVDC) model. The MMC of the MT-HVDC are implemented with grid-following and grid-forming control. An overview of the MT MMC-HVDC is given and the grid-forming and voltage droop control are described. The AC and DC networks of the MMC are divided into an RMS and an EMT partition with different simulation time steps. The grid-forming and grid-following control with inner AC current control are assigned to the RMS partition. The total energy and inner converter control are assigned to the EMT partition. The model is initialized for a correct transition from power flow to time domain simulation. The approach is implemented in a meshed power system model, where grid-forming MMC provide voltage and frequency for an offshore wind farm and a synchronous grid. The simulations are performed with the AC networks in RMS and the DC networks in EMT. The results show that the interactions between the AC and DC grids can be studied in a hybrid simulation framework. The DC system response is detailed, while the AC system is reduced to machine and controller dynamics.
Bioprinting provides a powerful tool for regenerative medicine, as it allows tissue construction with a patient’s specific geometry. However, tissue culture and maturation, commonly supported by dynamic bioreactors, are needed. We designed a workflow that creates an implant-specific bioreactor system, which is easily producible and customizable and supports cell cultivation and tissue maturation. First, a bioreactor was designed and different tissue geometries were simulated regarding shear stress and nutrient distribution to match cell culture requirements. These tissues were then directly bioprinted into the 3D-printed bioreactor. To prove the ability of cell maintenance, C2C12 cells in two bioinks were printed into the system and successfully cultured for two weeks. Next, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were successfully differentiated toward an adipocyte lineage. As the last step of the presented strategy, we developed a prototype of an automated mobile docking station for the bioreactor. Overall, we present an open-source bioreactor system that is adaptable to a wound-specific geometry and allows cell culture and differentiation. This interdisciplinary roadmap is intended to close the gap between the lab and clinic and to integrate novel 3D-printing technologies for regenerative medicine.
Finding a feasible antenna arrangement for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) arrays to serve a specific purpose is a first crucial step towards a successful MIMO radar system design. Design methods to synthesize uniformly weighted and equidistant MIMO arrays are proposed and investigated. The methods can be used to gain a design foundation for 1D or 2D arrays without software tools or programming effort. Since the presented approach does not consider electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic full-wave simulations might be required additionally. The method is based on sequentially copying and displacing antenna groups with the help of a number scheme. A nomenclature is proposed to classify the degrees of freedom in the design procedure. If the antennas are aligned to a uniform grid, a polynomial representation of the array can be chosen alternatively. This method is beneficial when redundancies of a produced array and where they appear must be analyzed. A new design problem arises when an array is to consist of only transceiving antennas, which can be analyzed with polynomial multiplication. One strategy to find a suitable MIMO array consisting of transceiver elements is given and evaluated.
