High-efficient isolated DC/DC converters with a high-efficiency synchronous reluctance generator (SRG) are the ultimate solutions in DC microgrid systems. The design and modeling of isolated DC/DC converters with the performance of SRG are carried out. Reactive and active powers are used as PWM control variables on the generator side. Further, the flux estimator is used. Three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier is used by applying space vector modulation (SVM) with a constant switching frequency for direct power control. Further, the paper also includes the experimental validation of the results.
The paper also proposes that highly efficient power converters and synchronous reluctance generators are required to achieve high performance for hybrid renewable energy systems applications.
