The significant stochasticity introduced by renewable energy and flexible loads challenges traditional deterministic stability methods in power system. To address the stability challenges posed by stochastic disturbances, by integrating physics-informed neural network (PINN) with power system characteristic equation, a characteristic oriented physics-informed neural network (COPINN) method is proposed to enhance the assessment accuracy of stability probability in stochastic power system. Unlike traditional PINNs that treat all regions equally, COPINN introduces a spatial attention mechanism guided by the physical characteristic curves of the system. These characteristic curves, derived from the governing equations of stability probability, pinpoint the critical regions in the state-space that most influence the stability outcome. Based on the semi-physical power system simulation platform, the operating data of the power system are obtained and its stability probability is statistically acquired. Following this data acquisition, the physical model of the stochastic power system stability probability is deduced through the stochastic averaging method. Finally, an efficient assessment of the stability probability is achieved through the implementation of the physics-informed neural network incorporating stochastic power system characteristic equation. This method incorporates the stability probability characteristic equation of the power system into the physics-informed neural network through a characteristic oriented module and characteristic weight parameters, enabling the network to focus on the key characteristic regions that determine the stability probability of the power system. A further residual-driven adaptive sampling strategy enhances the density of data points in regions with high error rates during training, thereby achieving efficient allocation of computational resources. Experimental analysis demonstrates that, compared to conventional methods, the proposed COPINN approach can accurately capture the evolution of stability probabilities in power system, and effectively enhance the assessment accuracy of stability probabilities in stochastic power system. Furthermore, the proposed COPINN method also reveals trends in probabilistic stability evolution across key parameters, stochastic initial energies, and short-circuit faults, which provides a certain reference for the probabilistic stability analysis of stochastic power system.
The five-level switched-capacitor hybrid clamped converter (5L-SCHC) exhibits lower low-frequency voltage ripple in DC-link capacitors and voltages passive self-balancing of switched-capacitors (SCs), offering clear advantages over other multilevel clamped converters. However, the discrete output characteristics of the 5L-SCHC circuit make it difficult to maintain capacitor voltages balancing with traditional modulation methods, leading to suboptimal harmonic performance. To address this issue, this paper introduces an improved carrier redistribution pulse width modulation (ICR-PWM). Through carrier redistribution and variable reference modulation voltage strategy, the optimal distribution of output voltage pulses is achieved within two carrier cycles, thereby enhancing the output performance of the 5L-SCHC converter. On this basis, duty cycle modification is applied to balance the DC-link center capacitor voltage in the first carrier cycle, while the SC voltages are balanced in the other one. Additionally, the upper and lower DC-link capacitor voltages are balanced over the two carrier cycles via optimal zero-sequence voltage (ZSV) injection. Finally, validation is conducted on the experimental platform, experimental results validate that the proposed ICR-PWM method ensures capacitor voltages balance under various conditions, exhibiting remarkably improved harmonic performance over traditional methods.
The hybrid clamped converter cannot suppress low-frequency voltage fluctuations of the dc-link capacitors at low power factors. Rather, it exhibits a slow dynamic response and high output harmonics in such scenarios. To address this limitation, this study presents a novel hybrid modulation method that maintains the natural capacitor voltage balance while combining two basic modulation strategies: one minimizes neutral-point (NP) current to suppress low-frequency fluctuations, and the other maximizes NP current to enhance the dynamic response. The method further bolsters harmonic performance through carrier redistribution. Then, the proposed method dynamically switches between two basic modulation methods based on real-time NP current optimization while calculating the required zero-sequence voltage for active voltage balancing. The proposed hybrid modulation method thus inherits the merits of these basic modulations. Finally, the method is validated under various experimental conditions, with the results highlighting its advantages.
Carrier-based modulation strategies with natural capacitor voltage balancing characteristics are widely employed in five-level stacked multicell (SM) converters, owing to their straightforward implementation and reduced capacitor requirements. However, active voltage balancing of DC-link capacitors usually requires zero-sequence voltage (ZSV) or harmonic voltage injection, which introduces significant common-mode voltage (CMV) and degrades system performance. To overcome this limitation, this article proposes a variable reference voltage pulsewidth modulation (PWM) (VRV-PWM) strategy. The proposed method leverages a novel neutral-point (NP) current expression, derived from the SM converter's switching states, to regulate the NP current via duty cycle adjustment, thereby operating without ZSV or harmonic injection. Consequently, this approach maintains an average phase voltage free of low-frequency components while achieving zero average CMV, which significantly suppresses the instantaneous CMV and enhances the output phase voltage performance. An optimal NP current regulation scheme is further derived to achieve independent and decoupled voltage control across all capacitors. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed strategy complements traditional methods in NP voltage balancing, effectively overcoming their drawback in suppressing low-frequency voltage fluctuations under low power factor conditions. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed VRV-PWM, demonstrating its superior performance in CMV reduction and output phase voltage harmonic quality.
To address output stability and transmission efficiency degradation in WPT systems caused by coupling misalignment and load variations, this paper introduces a Predictive Neural Network-based Deadbeat Predictive Control (PNN-DPC) approach. Initially, a transfer function model is constructed via the T-type equivalent circuit of the dual-LCC resonant topology, and the mathematical link between the phase-shift angle and output voltage is derived through output performance parametric analysis. Subsequently, the model is reformulated to reduce traditional model predictive control's computational complexity and parameter reliance. A neural network estimator is incorporated to identify system uncertainties and external disturbances, boosting controller robustness. Finally, a predictive controller merging deadbeat control with neural network-estimated model data is designed, and Lyapunov stability theory confirms the error system's asymptotic stability under input constraints. Experiments show that PNN-DPC maintains constant voltage output across diverse coupling coefficients and loads, outperforming conventional methods in dynamic response and disturbance rejection.
This study proposes a novel carrier redistribution pulse-width modulation (CRPWM) technique and its associated active voltage balancing method with low-frequency voltage ripple suppression for the five-level stacked multicell (SM) converter. While CRPWM offers simplicity and ease of implementation with optimal harmonics, it encounters significant neutral point (NP) voltage imbalance issues, particularly at low power factors. NP voltage imbalance is a primary cause of low-frequency voltage ripples in DC-link capacitors. Therefore, the proposed CRPWM utilizes new switching states to minimize NP current generation and ensures the natural voltage balance of floating capacitors to minimize voltage ripples. Consequently, NP current significantly diminishes at low power factors, and unbalanced NP current is almost completely suppressed under the active voltage balancing method theoretically. The proposed CRPWM method, with lower unbalanced NP current and equivalent line voltage harmonic performance compared with other CRPWM methods, exhibits the lowest low-frequency voltage ripples with optimal output performance. Experimental results reveal about 88% and 65% reduction in low-frequency voltage ripples, and about 0.5% and 0.02% reduction in line voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), particularly at lower power factors and highest modulation index with fundamental frequencies of 10 and 50 Hz, respectively.
Clamped multilevel inverters suffer significantly from neutral point (NP) voltage unbalancing in low power factor applications, which will lead to severe device overvoltage problems and affect its output performance. The five-level hybrid clamped (HC) inverter is a state-of-the-art topology with additional redundant switching states, which makes it possible to suppress the NP low-frequency voltage ripples better. Therefore, a novel and simple modulation for five-level HC inverter with enhanced NP voltage balancing capability is proposed. Based on the influence of NP currents on the dc-link capacitor voltages, the different switching states combinations with capacitor voltages naturally balancing constraints are analyzed comprehensively, and the relationship between the duty ratio of average NP currents and the reference modulation voltage is designed as a bi-triangular function to minimize the currents flowing out of the NPs. Compared with traditional modulation, the equivalent adjustment ability of NP currents is greatly enhanced by the zero-sequence voltage injection, and the low-frequency voltage ripples of DC-link capacitors are suppressed significantly at whole power factors. Moreover, the active balancing methods are explored to achieve independent and decoupling control of all capacitor voltages. Simulations and experiments verify the viability of the modulation strategy and the capacitor voltage balancing method.
Neutral point (NP) voltage imbalance blocks the deployment of carrier-based clamped converters for specific scenarios due to the limited adjustment capability of NP current by zero-sequence voltage (ZSV) injection. Therefore, a novel six-level switched-capacitor (SC) hybrid clamped (6L-SCHC) converter is proposed, which has compromised voltage stress, and utilizes the discrete voltage boost and capacitor voltage self-balancing features of the SC circuit to simplify control complexity. On this basis, a carrier-based hybrid modulation is developed which simplifies the complexity of SC voltage control, and ensures the voltage natural balance of SC and DC-link center capacitor to minimize voltage ripples. Furthermore, a reasonable functional relationship between average NP current and reference modulation voltage is explored. As the result, the proposed 6L-SCHC converter has extremely powerful NP voltage balancing capability compared to other carrier-based clamped converters in theory, especially at high modulation indexes and low power factors. Capacitor voltage ripple models are also derived to achieve voltage independent controls of all capacitors. Comparative simulations and experiments demonstrate that the proposed topology and modulation greatly reduce the lowfrequency voltage ripples of DC-link upper and lower capacitors, and provide excellent NP voltage balancing performance over a wide range of modulation indexes and power factors.

The neutral-point-clamped (NPC) multilevel converter generally adopts the zero-sequence voltage injection method to realize the voltage balancing of the dc link capacitors. However, the relationship between the reference modulation voltage and the duty ratio of phase neutral point current is often a triangle or trapezoidal function. When the power factor is low, the required optimal zero-sequence voltage will be out of bounds, which will lead the capacitor voltage ripples to become larger or even divergent. Therefore, a novel switched-capacitor-based hybrid clamped (SCB-HC) converter is proposed in this article. The new redundant switching states are obtained by introducing the boost characteristics of the switched-capacitor (SC) circuit. A hybrid phase-shifted pulsewidth modulation (PS-PWM) is developed to extend its functional relationship. This ensures that the peak current that flows out of the neutral points is fewer, and then, the capacitor voltage drift is reduced significantly. Moreover, the proposed hybrid PS-PWM method not only ensures that the SC circuit switches series and parallel patter once during a carrier period but also achieves the voltage balancing of SC and dc link midpoint capacitor naturally under ideal conditions. On top of that, the capacitor voltage balancing method is designed to ensure independent and decoupled control of all capacitor voltages. Simulations and experiments show that the proposed topology, the modulation method, and the voltage control method are practical and feasible for wide power factor applications.

Inductively coupled power transmission (ICPT) systems cause fluctuations in output power and output voltage when the coil is offset.The existing anti-misalignmemt methods have the problems of relying too much on the system modeling and poor adaptivity. Most of the methods do not consider the impact on the system output characteristics when the coupling coefficient changes continuously. To address the above problems, taking the dual-coupled LCL topology ICPT system based on DDQ coils as the research object, the paper proposes a strong anti-misalignmemt method based on fuzzy adaptive control in variable universe. Firstly, the output power expression of the dual-coupled LCL topology ICPT system is derived from the circuit analysis, and the relationship between the output power, the coupling coefficient and system parameters is obtained. Secondly, by applying the finite element analysis software ANSYS, a three-dimensional magnetic field modeling of the DDQ coil is carried out to obtain the correspondence between the coupling coefficient and the coil offset. On the basis, the corresponding values of the three sets of offsets and the coupling coefficients are used as the data, and the square sum of deviations of the system output power fluctuations is taken as the objective function. Hence, the parameter optimization method of ICPT system based on adaptive particle swarm is proposed to obtain a set of optimal parameter values of the system under the minimum output power fluctuation and improve the anti-misalignmemt performance of the system to a certain extent. Finally, a fuzzy adaptive control method based on variable universe is used to achieve the purpose of quickly adjusting the load terminal voltage by dynamically adjusting the correction value of the PID control coefficient to make the system output higher power. The simulation results show that the method solves the problem of poor adaptivity of existing methods, adapts well to the working conditions with continuous changes of coupling coefficients, has better adaptability and control effect, improves the strong anti-misalignmemt performance of ICPT system, and maintains the basic constant output voltage at the load side.
