IEEE COMPEL 2016 Trondheim, June 27-30 Scientific Program COMPEL 2016, TRONDHEIM 1 Welcome letter WELCOME Warm welcome to the 17th IEEE International Workshop on Control and Modelling of Power Electronics, COMPEL 2016, in Trondheim! The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is happy to host the annual conference – further north than ever before. In addition to the presentation of about 130 quality papers, we have prepared an attractive cultural and social program for you. We hope you will all enjoy our long and bright summer days… and nights. Your Host NTNU is Norway’s main technical university, offering education and research in technology, engineering and natural sciences as well as human and social sciences. This year, NTNU merged with Gjøvik University College, Ålesund University College, and Sør-Trøndelang University College, making NTNU the largest university in Norway with 39.000 students, half of whom study technology and natural sciences. We have dozens of international student exchange programs and more than 300 cooperative agreements or exchange programs with 60 universities worldwide, and we offer free tuition. All courses in the International Master Programs are taught in English. NTNU’s main campus, Gløshaugen, is located only 15-30 minute walk from most hotels in Trondheim city center. Two departments at NTNU have teamed up to organize COMPEL 2016: The Department of Engineering Cybernetics and the Department of Electrical Power Engineering. Together, the two departments cover the range of technical disciplines that are within the scope of COMPEL and the multidisciplinary perspective that the conference needs today. Special Topic We have chosen “Stability of Power Electronics Systems and Impact of Converter Control Strategies on System Stability” as the theme of this year’s conference. We would also like to emphasize the importance of doing research with high relevance for practitioners and society. This theme, with its relevance today, serves to such purpose. We aim, in COMPEL 2016, to create a critical mass that can provide smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in society by supporting the industrial sector in providing new solutions to achieve that purpose. Interactions between industry, funding bodies and academia are essential to achieve this. We understand we must work together to build and share knowledge, and develop technology and solutions useful to society. To do so, industry needs cooperation and interaction with academia, which we hope to facilitate by the technical sessions and the informal discussions during COMPEL.

Abstract: Grid modernization requires a win-win-win approach for the environment, consumers, and grid owners. Electronictization will provide a foundation for active control and intelligence. The grid will have fractal architecture in order to be infinitely expandable. Structured microgrid will naturally integrate the renewables with storage to provide autonomous energy balance and control. Grid’s ability for fault isolation localizes any failure to minimize its impact. Built-in fault and redundancy management can enable self resiliency – to autonomously recover from natural or manmade disasters. And the back-to-back dc-dc will enable asynchronous generation to significantly enhance grid robustness while reducing grid operational cost. Efficiency, Control, and Stability of Power Electronic Based Systems Mohamed Belkhayat Dr. Mohamed Belkhayat is currently a principal scientist with Huntington Ingalls Industries serving as a power and energy subject matter expert. He has been working in the field for over 25 years. He obtained his EE and Energy Systems Ph. D. from Purdue University in 1997. Dr. Belkhayat developed novel stability criteria and analysis techniques that have been actively studied and utilized in the power electronics research community and industry. He also holds several patents in the field and has published numerous papers on the stability of integrated DC and AC power systems. His research spans a wide range of energy sources, including nuclear, hydrocarbon, wind, solar, and sea waves. He also researched various conversion processes including thermo-photovoltaics, high voltage power electronics, and rotating machinery. He developed models for advanced multiphase rotating machinery as well as static multilevel power converters. Dr. Belkhayat also taught for over six years, energy conversion, controls, and modeling and simulation of power electronics systems at George Washington University, the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey California, and at Qatar University. Abstract: High power density and high efficiency of power electronics aboard ships is leading to ever more complex controls. At a high level, configuration management, resilience to faults, generator paralleling, load sharing, fast protection controls, and intelligent load shedding are now standard capabilities of shipboard supervisory controls. At a low level, various clamped and unclamped Pulse Width Modulation and Zero Volt Switching techniques have been devised to reduce losses and harmonics while increasing power density. The integration of all these controls has come with new challenges. Often times, the standards are in catch-up mode. In particular, stability of these systems has been a key factor and a challenge in the integration phase. The standard practice is to allow a significant period of time after installation for the tuning of the system. New stability criteria, standards, and measurement techniques are needed for successful and cost effective integration of these platforms.

COMPEL 2016, TRONDHEIM 13 Tutorials Research on Modern Power Systems supported by Hardware-In-the-Loop Technology Tuesday June 27. Presented by Antonello Monti and Antonino Riccobono. Antonello Monti Univ. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Antonello Monti, since October 2008 Professor for Automation of Complex Power Systems at the faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at RWTH Aachen. Before joining RWTH in Aachen, Prof. Monti was Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of South Carolina (USA). During his tenure at USC he has been Associate Director of the Virtual Test Bed (VTB) project, which focuses on computational simulation and visualization of modern power distribution systems that fully integrate power electronics into the network design. He has developed the real-time extension of VTB for Hardware in the Loop applications and has designed innovative tools supporting the automatic generation of VTB native models. He worked on expanding the limits of real-time simulation thanks to the application of PC clusters and FPGA technology. Prof. Monti was also the director of the Real Time and Electromechanics Laboratory (REM Lab) Education. He started his academic career at Politecnico di Milano after 4 years of industrial experience in Ansaldo Industria. Antonino Riccobono Antonino Riccobono received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electronic Engineering from University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, in 2006 and 2009, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of South Carolina, USA, in August 2013. Since September 2013, he has been working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems (ACS) – E.ON Energy Research Center – RWTH Aachen University, Germany. Within ACS he also covers the charges of Leader of the Team Real Time Simulation and Hardware in the Loop, Lab Manager, and Instructor of the class Power Systems Dynamics. His research interests have always been in the area of power-electronics-based power systems. These, in particular, include modeling, control, stability analysis, and automation of such systems, linear and nonlinear control systems, grid-connected converter applications, microgrids and nanogrids, hardware in the loop and power hardware in the loop real time simulations. He has also several years of practical experience in prototyping of Power Electronics converters up to a few kW power level. Abstract: Modern Power Systems are experiencing profound changes. These are due, on the one hand, to the deeper penetration of grid-connected power electronics converters mainly for the integration of Renewable Energy Sources into the power system, and, on the other hand, to the fact that interaction with other energy carriers becomes more and more frequent. Moreover, many Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are investigating the smart grid concept where ICT solutions are deployed for advanced energy services. Given the growing complexity of Modern Power Systems, the safe and reliable operation of these power systems become a major challenge for both power electronic engineers and power systems engineers as well as mechanical engineers and ICT experts. In these regards, traditional design and testing methods may fail because pilot projects, even though they may contribute to the solution, are limited in many aspects, such as 1) lack of controllability of many parameters, 2) lack of possibility to perfectly replicate a scenario, 3) the time horizon may be too long, and 4) lack of possibility to export all the elements to new regions. Therefore, new paradigms are needed to overcome the abovementioned design limitations. Simulation fills this gap, but it must be combined with incremental prototyping. This can be achieved by (Controller) Hardware in the Loop (HiL) and Power Hardware in the Loop (PHiL) technologies which allow physical devices being tested in the complexity of the environment in which they will operate. This tutorial presents both the HiL and PHiL technologies that support R&D in Modern Power Systems. First, concepts of HiL and PHiL are reviewed and related challenges are presented. Then, a few selected HiL and PHiL real-time setups currently running at the Institute for Complex Power Systems – E.ON Energy Research Center – RWTH Aachen University, Germany, are described. COMPEL 2016, TRONDHEIM 14 Tutorials (continued) Practical Feedback-loop Design of Bus Converters Supplying Regulated Voltage to DCInput-Port Converters Tuesday June 27. Presented by Marina Sanz. Marina Sanz Marina Sanz received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnique University of Madrid, Spain, in 1997 and 2004, respectively, where she was a researcher from 1997 to 2001. In 2001 she joined the Department of Electronic Technology at the Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain, where she is currently Associate Professor, Vice Dean of the Engineering School and Head of Electrical Engineering and Automation Bachelor degree. Prof. Sanz has been involved in Power Electronics since 1997, participating in more than 45 research projects with public and private funding. Her main research interests include power electronics system modelling and stability issues, especially in transport and telecommunication applications. Her research also covers digital control in power electronics and educational issues on power electronics. Dr. Sanz has published more than 80 papers, many of them in IEEE journals, books and conferences with high impact factor, being one of her research papers awarded with the “Fast Breaking Paper in the Field of Engineering” in 2008. Her research also resulted in 5 patents and an international registered software. Abstract: In recent years, traditional power distribution systems, based on a centralized architecture, have been progressively replaced by distributed power systems in many applications such as telecommunications, More-Electric Aircraft or microgrids. Distributed architectures offer different advantages such as the use of standardized converters (commercial off-the-shelf, COTS), the easy addition of redundancy, the capability of on-line replacement (hot-swapping) of damaged converters. However, new challenges must be addressed, since the active nature of power electronic converters results in complex dynamic behavior when they are interconnected to each other. Regarding the proper power system integration, one important issue is the suitable design of the control loop of the Bus converter that should supply the regulated DC voltage to the converters connected downstream. From the point of view of the control design, the small-signal stability of the system must be complied as necessary condition. Hence, the closedloop input impedance of the load converters must be determined in order to design the feedback-loop of the bus converter for small-signal system stability. On one hand, sometimes, analytical techniques for closed-loop input impedance calculation require complex derivations. Moreover, this approach is not suitable in case of using commercial converters since internal parameters of the converters are unknown due to the manufacturer´s confidentiality. On the other hand, behavioral modeling techniques allow obtaining the required information of the converters input impedance avoiding the datasheet limitation. Nevertheless, they are difficult, expensive and time consuming since complex measurements, using high-cost instrumentation, plus powerful but complicated identification techniques should be used. Hence, a new approach is proposed in the tutorial trying to overcome these limitations. The purpose of this tutorial is to review the different state-of-art approaches for deriving the closed-loop input impedance of load converters. To overcome their limitations, a new proposal to calculate the closed-loop input impedance that will be helpful for practicing power system engineers is provided. Finally, automatic regulator design by means of a CAD tool will be also described.

Specialties: His research activity lies in the field of distributed power systems, being mainly focused on designing hardware and software solutions for grid interactive power plants, designing power converters for green energy sources, modelling and analyzing power systems, and proposing new technical solutions to improve stability and power quality in modern electrical power systems. Abstract: The increasing high penetration of power electronics in electrical systems, whether in standalone applications like transportation, or in distribution systems connected to the grid as result of the massive deployment of renewable energy sources over the past years, has made apparent the need to understand the different types of dynamic interactions that can be induced by them in such systems. Accordingly, this seminar will focus on the dynamic stability assessment of AC systems, using the synchronous d-q frame impedance based analysis to do so.
