 Abstract:

This paper presents the design and analysis of power electronic distribution transformer (PEDT). The PEDT is the new distribution transformer based on power high-frequency transformer and electronic converter. Operating the PEDT with the conventional proportional integral (PI) control does not give a satisfactory dynamic response and power quality. Improved power quality dynamic performance of PEDT can be achieved by using intelligent control. This study proposed a novel controller for a PEDT based on fuzzy logic control (FLC). The performance and power quality of the proposed PEDT are improved by replacing the conventional PI controller with the modern FLC. The proposed model was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink in order to evaluate the behavior of the PEDT. The model was tested under the study state and transient state. The results show that the PEDT with the proposed FLC gives a better dynamic performance and power quality compared to the PI controller.
