Abstract: A method of controlling a multilevel power converter may include measuring an input voltage at a converter input, determining a half input voltage based on the input voltage; measuring a flying capacitor voltage across the flying capacitor; determining an error voltage based on a difference between the flying capacitor voltage and the half input voltage; generating an inductor current window having an inductor peak current and a valley inductor current; modulating the inductor peak current into an upper inductor peak current and a lower inductor peak current based on the error voltage; and operating the multilevel power converter to produce an output current through an inductor to a converter output, the output current being within the inductor current window and based on a sequence of pulse width modulation states.

Abstract: An energy storage system (TES) converts variable renewable electricity (VRE) to continuous heat at over 1000° C. Intermittent electrical energy heats a solid medium. Heat from the solid medium is delivered continuously on demand. Heat delivery via flowing gas establishes a thermocline which maintains high outlet temperature throughout discharge. The delivered heat which may be used for processes including power generation and cogeneration. In one application, the energy storage system provides higher-temperature heat to a steam cracking furnace system for converting a hydrocarbon feedstock into cracked gas, thereby increasing the efficiency of the temperature control.

Abstract: An energy storage system converts variable renewable electricity (VRE) to continuous heat at over 1000° C. Intermittent electrical energy heats a solid medium. Heat from the solid medium is delivered continuously on demand. An array of bricks incorporating internal radiation cavities is directly heated by thermal radiation. The cavities facilitate rapid, uniform heating via reradiation. Heat delivery via flowing gas establishes a thermocline which maintains high outlet temperature throughout discharge. Gas flows through structured pathways within the array, delivering heat which may be used for processes including calcination, hydrogen electrolysis, steam generation, and thermal power generation and cogeneration. Groups of thermal storage arrays may be controlled and operated at high temperatures without thermal runaway via deep-discharge sequencing. Forecast-based control enables continuous, year-round heat supply using current and advance information of weather and VRE availability. High-voltage DC power conversion and distribution circuitry improves the efficiency of VRE power transfer into the system.

Abstract: A power system for a battery powered device can include a first stage power converter, a charge injector, and a bypass switch. The first stage power converter can be configured to have an input coupled to a battery and operable to convert a battery voltage to a level higher than a main voltage bus of the battery powered device. The charge injector can include an input coupled to the output of the power converter and an output configured to be coupled to the main voltage bus. The bypass can include one or more bypass switches operable to selectively couple an output of the power converter to the main voltage bus, bypassing the charge injector. The charge injector may be selectively operable as a current source configured to draw power from an output of the power converter and the battery to reduce voltage dips of the main voltage bus.

Abstract: An Integrated Circuit (IC) includes feedback control-loop (FCL) circuitry to generate a delay-compensated output signal responsively to an input reference signal. The FCL circuitry includes a main feedback path, a first subtractor, a delay-compensation feedback path, and a second subtractor. The main feedback path is to generate a main feedback signal responsively to the delay-compensated output signal. The first subtractor is to generate a non-compensated output signal responsively to a difference between the main feedback signal and the input reference signal. The delay-compensation feedback path is to generate a delay-compensation feedback signal responsively to the delay-compensated output signal. The second subtractor is to generate the delay-compensated output signal responsively to a difference between the non-compensated output signal and the delay-compensation feedback signal.
