Description

Background

Variable frequency drive-based applications are gaining more popularity recently due to higher energy efficiency and increased control. This demo example demonstrates the two-quadrant operation (forward motoring and reverse motoring) of various applications like elevators, cranes etc. For instance, an elevator moving up with people inside represents the forward motoring mode wherein the load is lifted against the gravity, and coming down empty with gravity-assist as reverse motoring mode.

Model description

...

Each converter of the model has a specific objective, as given below: 

Grid-side converter control

The grid side converter (GSC) is operated to control the DC link voltage amplitude and the reactive power . The outer voltage loop maintains the DC  ink voltage at 700 V, while the reactive power control loop is set to unity power factor. Below figures show the control architecture used.

Vq :  q-axis component  of source voltage

Machine-side converter control

The machine side converter (MSC) controls the generator speed. LC filters connected shunt to the network are used to eliminate the harmonics.

Performance Comparison of Switching function at 20 us (real time) with Switching Device Model at 2 us (offline)

Real time performance of Switching Function based model simulated at 20 us (real time) is compared with Switching deviceDevice model at 2 us (offline). It can be seen that the results are very close. This demonstrates the effectiveness of using the switching function model at a much higher time step (of 20us) and get similar performance as a 2us model.
