Power Quality Challenges with High Penetration of Renewable Systems

Webinar details
Photovoltaic systems represent a significant source of power generation, with their production susceptible to fluctuations caused by changing shading conditions resulting from varying weather and environmental factors. While the modular multilevel converter (MMLC) stands out as a promising choice for achieving high power, the conventional MMLC, in its quest for more voltage levels, demands additional cells. This, in turn, amplifies complexity and results in increased losses.
In this webinar, we propose the implementation of a hybrid MMLC, which employs fewer IGBT switches for the same number of output levels, ultimately reducing losses and enhancing voltage output. The augmentation of power production is realized through the series and parallel connection of half and full bridge cells in the converter configuration. Furthermore, the converter adeptly addresses power quality issues, including voltage, current, and power, without the need for active or passive filters.
Despite these advancements, fluctuations in input irradiation and temperature introduce disturbances to output parameters such as voltage, current, and power.
Mitigating these imbalances in a grid-connected converter is crucial for stabilizing control and ensuring the quality of power injected into the grid. As a solution, the implementation of zero sequence control (ZSC) is proposed to generate balanced power, especially when dealing with unstable input parameters. To achieve power balance among the converter phases being supplied to the grid, zero sequence voltage (ZSV) is injected into each phase of the converter output. This validation process ensures the equilibrium of power among the phases fed into the low voltage grid.
Simulation results are presented to assess the output parameters both before and after the injection of ZSV in the low voltage (LV) grid-connected Hybrid MMLC of a large-scale PV system. These results demonstrate the improved performance achieved through this approach.

The webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.
A certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.
Please note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.

Key takeaways from this webinar

Modelling and implementation of an efficient MMLC converter with hybrid approach for full and half bridge cells arranged in series and parallel for better output performance.
ZSC is used for solving power quality issues that arise during different shading patterns within phases of the converter.
The proposed controller scheme satisfactorily handles the variable irradiance values with the MPPT application.

The world is currently grappling with urgent climate challenges, and the global energy landscape is rapidly evolving. To achieve the United Nations’ goal of providing reliable and sustainable energy for all, it is crucial to focus on energy conversion and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology plays a pivotal role in curbing carbon emissions from the energy sector during the transition to renewable energy sources. Moreover, in the long term, CCS can help decarbonize industries such as refining, iron and steel, cement, and chemicals.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), “CCS stands out as the most significant technology option for directly reducing emissions from industrial processes. It has the potential to mitigate 2 to 2.5 Gigatonnes of CO2 annually worldwide by 2050. Achieving this ambitious target necessitates a combination of advanced expertise in subsurface engineering and innovative approaches.”

The live presentation of this event has already taken place.
Please view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:

Webinar details
This webinar will discuss the numerical simulations in ANSYS Fluent software to investigate the influence of leading-edge protuberances on the wings of a NACA 2412 cross-section. Various parameters, including different wavelengths and amplitudes of protuberances, were explored, mimicking humpback whale flipper characteristics. The simulations were conducted at a velocity of 65 m/s in a turbulent flow domain with a chord-based Reynolds number of 2.29*105, using the SST k-ω models.
The results revealed notable differences in the aerodynamic performance of wings with leading-edge protuberances compared to smooth leading edges. Wings with protuberances demonstrated a higher lift coefficient (CL) and lower drag coefficient (CD) at the post-stall region.
Two specific cases with the best CL and CD after stall angle (16 degrees) were identified for optimization. The optimized wing showcased remarkable improvements in aerodynamic performance over the baseline and other wing configurations. It achieved a 23.33% increase in lift, outperforming all other defined wings. Furthermore, it reduced drag by 16% and enhanced the lift-to-drag ratio by 35% compared to the baseline wing.

Power System Support From Photovoltaic Systems
2023-11-15 17:00 - 18:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Online
The live presentation of this event has already taken place.
Please view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:

Due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources, especially in wind and PV power plants, countries with a significant amount of installed renewable energy sources face several challenges. For instance, if the amount of the generated power from renewable energy sources exceeds the load demand during peak power generation periods, the power system may be overloaded and subsequently, protection devices may be triggered. To ensure the stability and quality of the power system, power system operators continually update the requirements for photovoltaic (PV) systems for the connection to the grid, referring to as grid codes and standards, which aim to reduce the adverse effects of the high penetration of installed PV systems in the power system.
This webinar presents an overview of various grid codes and standards for the operation of grid-friendly PV systems. According to these new requirements, a flexible power injection capability is required in PV systems. Various algorithms for the flexible power point tracking in PV systems will also be presented in this webinar. Furthermore, the operation of PV systems during voltage and frequency disturbances will be explained.
Key takeaways from this webinar:

New challenges in power system with high penetration of photovoltaic systems
Grid support functionalities of photovoltaic systems
Flexible power point tracking in photovoltaic systems, a solution to provide grid support functionalities in photovoltaic systems

Study on Microstructure Characteristics of Steel in Two-Body Abrasive Wear
2023-10-31 17:30 - 18:30 (America/Halifax) | Online
The live presentation of this event has already taken place.
Please view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:

A detailed investigation was conducted on influence of microstructure constituents in two-body abrasive wear. A CSM high temperature pin-on-disc tribometer was extensively employed to simulate two-body abrasive wear. In this study, four microstructures (e.g. bainite, pearlite, martensite and tempered martensite) with similar hardness levels displayed a distinct response towards the abrasive behaviour. Despite similar hardness levels, the unique friction coefficient curve of the microstructures was ascribed to the characteristics of the microstructure constituents. The study revealed that the multiphase microstructures (bainite and pearlite) revealed better abrasion resistance than the single-phase microstructures (martensite and tempered martensite). Moreover, the two-body abrasive wear induced significant microstructural changes (i.e. severe deformation) in their sub-surface layers (i.e. region beneath the abraded surface). Surface profile and topography techniques highlighted the quantum of material loss in the microstructures. The distinct material removal mechanisms (e.g. ploughing and cutting) in the microstructures were observed through exclusive single wear track analysis. In general, microstructures with a combination of brittle and ductile metallurgical phases exhibiting work-hardening behaviour was more beneficial in abrasive conditions. However, there was a need to identify a laboratory abrasive wear test that can simulate the actual industrial test conditions.
To address this, a high strain abrasive wear testing was chosen, where a robust indenter abraded the microstructure under the action of a normal load, which resulted in a groove. This isolated the effect of abrasive environment characteristics (i.e. deterioration of abrasive particles) in the abrasion, thereby focusing on the microstructure response. This resulted in a thorough understanding of the material removal mechanisms occurring in microstructures during abrasion. The groove characteristics (i.e. degree of penetration, Dp) were significantly influenced by the microstructure constituents and the normal load. As expected, multi-phase microstructures (bainite and pearlite) demonstrated better abrasion resistance than the single-phase microstructures (martensite and tempered martensite). In general, the microstructures experienced ploughing material removal mechanism at low loads (i.e. 200 N to 500 N), whereas, cutting was more dominant at relatively high loads (above 1000 N). Additionally, a positive correlation between the work-hardening behaviour and the abrasive wear resistance of microstructures was observed through the subsurface
layer characterization. This proved to be the driving force for a future study in the abrasive wear behaviour of ultra-high strength bainitic steels (also known as nanobainitic steel). The presence of retained austenite in their microstructure matrix is known for superior work-hardening behaviour through TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) effect.
Key takeaways from this webinar:

The microstructural constituents influenced their abrasive wear behaviour.
Sub-surface investigations revealed unique abrasive response of the microstructures.
The work hardening behaviour and distinct material removal mechanisms were observed in the microstructures.
