| The research presented in this dissertation primarily focuses on providing analytical frequency-domain equations that use the system and controller parameters to accurately characterize the power conversion harmonics resulting from the deployment of hysteresis current-controlled inverters within the ac network. In addition, the ac and dc harmonic interactions under both ideal system conditions (constant dc excitation and pure sinusoidal ac voltages) and non-ideal system conditions (harmonic terms are added to the dc and ac sources) are derived for the fixed- and variable-band hysteresis current control. The spectral characteristics, such as frequency orders, spectral magnitude and bandwidth, are given in terms of line and control parameters, a development not only useful in analyzing the harmonic output sensitivity to line and controller parameter variations, but also in filter and system design.;Various simulation studies compared results obtained from the developed models to those obtained from the Fourier analysis of MATLAB/Simulink output with very good agreement. The developed models proved their reliability and improved numerical efficiency in harmonic studies compared to those performed using time-domain simulations. |
