Powering a cleaner future for the next generation
Associate Professor Galina Mirzaeva is striving to develop cleaner energy solutions with the potential to support our technologically driven lifestyles—without depleting our natural environment.
Associate Professor Galina Mirzaeva describes herself as both naturally optimistic and highly practical. They’re traits that keep her motivated to persevere in tackling one of the biggest global problems of our era: climate change.
Galina’s research is focused on advancing switched power electronic converters, which provide high efficiency conversion from one electric power to another. Improve this process, she says, and we pave the way to more environmentally friendly energy solutions.
“I put my effort into developing technologies that save energy, utilise resources that naturally replenish, and cut emissions into the atmosphere,” says Galina.
“The intellectual challenge, emphasis on practical implementations, and the support from cutting-edge manufacturing and computer technologies make my field of research particularly exciting.”
Optimising converter performance
Galina explains that switched power electronic converters are essential to modern industry and society. They are also key to minimising wasted energy by improving conversion efficiency. But to deliver on their promise, power electronic converters need to be appropriately controlled.
“Smart switching of these converters is governed by real-time control systems. Such a system measures electrical signals, determines the present and the future state of the converter, and works out commands for the switching devices. All this needs to be done within a fraction of a millisecond.”
One of Galina’s key research goals is to develop control systems that make the most of this very short time period and bring the converter performance as close as possible to optimal.
“What is optimal in each case depends on application, but the methodology and general framework for designing optimal control can be applied to existing or future power converters, resulting in their improved performance..”
Galina’s research findings are providing an alternative to old power conversion technologies, which are bulky, dissipate a lot of energy as heat, and are generally non-environmentally friendly.
“Where other forms of energy have been traditionally used—for example, coal-fired power stations and various vehicles that run on fossil fuel—converters can offer clean, environment-friendly and low-loss power alternatives such as wind and solar energy farms, electric cars, boats and aircrafts.
“They are also driving new innovations such as electric motors, which are used for automated machine tools, electric vehicles and electric aircrafts.”
Real outcomes for industry
Galina’s research expertise has put her in high demand within the mining, power and transport manufacturing industries. It’s a role she relishes and takes seriously, believing that it’s imperative for her research to remain relevant to the needs of technology end-users.
One of Galina’s recent projects, supported by the Australian Coal Industry’s Research Program (ACARP), helped to improve electric safety in underground mining. The project, which was a collaboration with ResTech, had unexpected and welcomed outcomes.
“The technology that we developed can be embedded in the electric drives installed on underground vehicles. In the process of solving the mining safety problem, we also advanced the research in matrix converters, converters with redundant switches, model predictive control and optimal switching design.
“Several world-class research publications came out of this project, and the technology has found its way to the leading electric drive manufacturers.”
Another of Galina’s projects aims to reduce flight times from Australia to the rest of the world. The project is a partnership between More Electric Aircraft, Rolls-Royce@NTU Corporate Laboratory at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Aerospace Technology Institute at Nottingham University in the UK.
With support from the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, her team is looking at ways to improve energy consumption and eliminate the need for fuel replenishment stop-overs. This would be good news for transport companies and Australians alike—and it’s not far from becoming a reality.
“We are only a couple of years away from a direct flight from Sydney to London.”
From the air to the sea, Galina has also partnered with local boat manufacturing company Stebercraft in Taree, and Ampcontrol in Newcastle, to develop an Australian-made fully integrated hybrid electric system.
“To have a fully integrated hybrid electric system, companies currently have to pay big money to a European or an American company. My research team is going to change this.
“Even COVID-19 hasn’t stopped our work. The technology has been developed with social distancing requirements strictly followed and surgical masks while working. We’re planning to launch the first Australian-made integrated hybrid electric boat into the Manning River.”
Towards a cleaner future
Galina is proud to be driving progress for companies, Australians and our planet. The fruit of her labour can be seen everywhere from transport, to mining, and even household energy prices.
“A few years ago, hardly anyone except specialists knew anything about inverters.
“Now, almost 2.5 million households have rooftop solar installations and use inverters to convert electricity from solar to standard AC power. The cost of solar energy is getting cheaper every day, and millions of Australians benefit from that.”
But perhaps Galina’s biggest achievement is what she is leaving behind for future generations. Not only through cleaner energy sources and processes, but in the classroom, and through the transfer of valuable knowledge that makes new solutions possible worldwide.
“It’s an honour to pass on my passion to younger engineers. Graduate and post-graduate students who I taught or mentored are now working around the globe on various exciting power electronics projects, including astronautics, smart grids, power systems, transportation and more.”

Engineering a better future through research
Associate Professor Galina Mirzaeva has always enjoyed a hearty challenge. This passion accelerated her through her school years and is what motivates her nationally recognised research projects today.
A lover of science and maths, when Galina came to select an undergraduate degree at her city’s institution in Russia, she was drawn towards Engineering. This selection was partially driven by her fascination for the field– she fondly remembers playing with construction toys and making her first radio transmitter when she was just a teenager. Always one to rise to a challenge, her university decision was finalised when she learned that the Electrical Engineering course in particular had the highest entry requirements within the faculty.
Having spent the majority of her school years placing top of class, Galina was granted entry to the program and her research career began.
Upon finalising her degree, Galina found work as a research engineer, but was quickly recruited back into academia once her previous Head of School recommended her for a lecturing position.
Once re-immersed in the academic environment, Galina was excited to take advantage of all manner of research opportunities. She climbed the ranks within the institution and eventually ended up fulfilling her childhood dream and working on the Russian Space Program.
“If you really want something in your life then, eventually, you find a way to it or it finds a way to you. “It was not exactly how I imagined it as a child. But doing my PhD with the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau, which specialises in carrier rockets for various payloads, was pretty close to my dream coming true.
But major changes were afoot, primarily due to the Russian political landscape at the time. During the perestroika period in Russia, there were major shifts in the academic culture and infrastructure, and Galina found herself skipping between career pathways to keep up.
“When the old system was disintegrating and the new system was arising, the value of professions shifted a lot.
“I thought to myself, if my career is going to change, I might as well look for opportunities to apply my skills elsewhere.”
Galina applied to come to Australia as part of a skilled migrant program, and began the next stage of her research adventure. After intensive job searching, a few opportunities arose. The CRC-Mining Node at the University of Newcastle was the one for her.
“Because of the level I was employed at from the very beginning, I was expected, to a large degree, to define my own projects. The key measure of success was attracting external funding.
“In that first year I wrote three grant proposals - I thought they were good but they didn’t get picked up.”
Galina then decided to pursue a new approach to finding research funding. She took to consulting directly with the mining industry, sitting in meetings and talking to stakeholders and engineers about where her research might be best applied within their industry.
“I visited open cut and underground mines and essentially just talked to engineers asked them what their actual needs are.
“I then wrote a grant proposal that was successful and resulted in several extensions.”
Making mega motors more reliable
Her project focused on improving the efficiency and lifespan of the Megawatt DC motors which power the huge mine excavators – the wheels of which stand taller than the height of two people. The project was initially proposed to be lab-based, but as word spread of the potential impact of this work, a full-sized testing facility was built in the Hunter Valley to facilitate this research.
The initial study was followed by two more stages, in which the focus moved to developing a prototype condition monitoring tool. This tool, of industrial quality and ruggedness, was designed ready for harsh mining environment.
After the DC motor projects was completed, Galina moved on to a new challenge. This one was focused on Megawatt AC motors for mining excavators.
“When the industry decided to move to AC motors, that opened a whole new field of research for me.”
“AC motors do not require much maintenance. In DC motors, the contacts are brushes made of carbon and so eventually they wear off.
“The AC motors are much less prone to break. However, their break is less predictable. Detecting a fault when it has already happened was not good enough. The objective was to track the motor condition and give a forecast of any faults developing.
In 2015, Galina received a Research Excellence Award from ACARP (Australian Coal Association Research Program), for “provision of excellence in advancing the sophisticated monitoring of AC and DC motors”.
“It took some time to win the trust from mining industry. But having done it and knowing that you're a trusted person for them is the biggest award on its own.”
Galina has since moved on to a diverse array of new research projects, both within and outside of the mining industry, but she still values the connections she made during those early years.
Power Electronics for future energy applications
In 2015, Galina was awarded a prestigious ARC grant for her joint proposal with Laureate Professor Graham Goodwin.
“He’s one of the world’s top researchers in control theory and applications.
“We began our collaboration on the control of wind turbines and later extended it to other application areas of power electronics.
“People working in different areas sometimes do not talk the same language, so quite often they don’t understand each other - but we established that language. This shared language made this opportunity possible.
“The project, funded by ARC, is aimed at advancing the control of power electronic inverters; one of the most common building blocks of a modern electrical system. An inverter takes a DC voltage as an input and converts it into an AC voltage of a desired frequency and magnitude. It allows, for example, to run an electric AC motor at a variable speed by supplying it with variable frequency AC voltage.
It can also be used with connection of a solar (PV) panel to the grid - practically every owner of a roof top PV panel is using an inverter. It’s also used in wind turbines, to make a constant frequency voltage out of variable speed wind power.
While inverters are extremely efficient, they also produce harmonics, which cause power losses, nuisance tripping and resonant effects. The work undertaken by the grant addresses harmonic suppression by using a strategy in which the inverter switching frequency changes randomly, thus producing no prominent harmonics. At some frequencies the inverter can even absorb rather than pollute energy, thus removing certain harmonics from the grid.
In the process of implementation of this harmonic suppression strategy, we found that it can significantly suffer from the inverter switching delays, particularly, those microsecond delays, which depend on current direction. It was surprising to see that our sophisticated harmonic suppression algorithms, when applied to real inverters, did not reduce the targeted harmonics as expected and, in some cases, even increased them.
The reason for that was not initially obvious. “Switching delays cause only a fraction of a per cent errors in the AC voltages. But then we realised that the harmonics that we are trying to cancel also cause only fractions of a per cent errors. To have an impact on such small quantities, we need an approach with a much higher precision.”
Using the recent developments in Model Predictive Control, to compensate for non-linear delays the team decided to use a variable prediction horizon. Currently in the third year of the ARC grant, and Galina can confidently say that the proposed strategy works in practice.
In the process of this innovative work, a number of new and exciting ideas have been generated. “We have recently applied for a new ARC grant to address the problems with stability of a grid, with a large number of distributed generators connected to it. We are currently extensively working on these new ideas. We think we know how to make the best of the renewable energy sources without oversizing the expensive battery storage.”
“But it’s not only the success of the grant application, but the fact that we continue this collaboration which makes me endlessly happy. It's my happiest place when I'm discussing research with Graham Goodwin.”

The design uses a quadratic optimisation programme to seamlessly combine control requirements on the input and output sides of the converter. On the input side, the requirements are to keep the source voltage and current in phase with each other and to attenuate transient oscillations caused by a resonant RLC filter, which is used to protect the voltage source from undesirable harmonics. On the output side the requirement is to track a desired current to feed a load. The novel aspects of the scheme are that (i) the optimisation is posed in terms of the converter's modulation matrix, whose entries represent the duty cycles of each of the converter switches; and that (ii) the solution of the optimisation is obtained in closed form and shown to be implementable with a small number of elementary operations. Simulation results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed design.

The asso... [more] The Matrix Converter is a power electronics topology that allows direct conversion of an alternating-current (AC) source to an AC load operating at a different frequency. The associated control problem is inherently difficult since it is both nonlinear and underactuated. This paper describes a novel control strategy for Matrix Converters based on Transient Power Balance. The scheme achieves the following design objectives: tracking of a desired load current, tracking of a desired supply (leading or lagging) power factor, rapid active damping of supply-current oscillations, arising from a supply-side resonant filter, without needing any additional resistance on the supply side, and mitigation of supply-current distortion arising from supply-voltage distortion. Achieving these goals simultaneously has hitherto been an open problem in this area. All of these goals are achieved in the face of significant errors in circuit component values. A proof of local asymptotic stability of the proposed algorithm is given and associated design constraints are addressed. The claims are illustrated by simulation studies.

[more] To reduce stored capacitor energy in modular multilevel converters (MMCs), previous papers propose injection of harmonics in the arm circulating currents and zero-sequence voltages. While this approach is effective, previously utilized combinations of injected harmonics significantly increase converter current ratings. In contrast, the optimization approach developed in this article identifies harmonics that simultaneously achieve capacitor energy optimization and reduced overrating of converter currents. In addition, the proposed approach eliminates the possibility of convergence to local minima, which is a significant improvement on previously proposed nonconvex optimization approaches. Experimental verification of the proposed approach is performed on a low-voltage three-phase modular multilevel converter.

The authors have proposed a stable and robust decentralized ac microgrid architecture that provides an automatic and equitable load sharing between distributed generators, without the use of droop control. To deal with faults or real-time changes in the distributed generation levels, a flexible reconfiguration of the microgrid can be advantageous. To achieve that, this article proposes the use of power line communication (PLC). Two PLC strategies are explored in this article: the first is based on using a single and constant PLC frequency, and the second is based on using a variable PLC frequency within a given range. This article details PLC injection, detection, and suppression methods, as well as the overall communication logic. It demonstrates the ability of the microgrid to adapt to changes while minimizing the amount of battery support. Findings of this article are supported by simulations and validated by experiments.

However, the use of matrix converters requires addressing a potential issue with input resonance, which can be exacerbated when using long feeders or trailing cables. This article addresses this problem by proposing a novel solution based on principles of modern control but shaped as a classical feedback architecture. Along with high quality reference tracking, the proposed solution utilizes the frequency changing properties of matrix converters to attenuate the input filter resonance by spectral shaping of the output current. This article shows that the solutions achieves its goals. Design and implementation details are discussed. This article results are validated by simulations and experiments.

They can occur as part of the model in systems containing lightly damped resonances or they can be deliberately introduced so as to ensure perfect tracking for sinusoidal or periodic signals. This paper establishes both time and frequency domain implications of such poles on system performance. Dual results for zeros on, or near, the imaginary axis are also discussed. Many practitioners are, at least heuristically, aware of the broad implications of these results but, to the best of the authors¿ knowledge, they have not previously been explicitly articulated nor quantified.

The methodology has been strongly promoted by some researchers but has also attracted criticism from others. In this context, the purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we show that many existing and popular control strategies, including finite set MPC and linear controllers [proportional integral, proportional resonant (PR)], can be viewed as special cases of MPC. Second, we show that the predictive control framework allows one to embellish these classical control architectures with novel features and to design new and advanced control architectures to address various challenges posed by power electronics applications. The findings of the paper are supported by a practical example of designing of a novel form of PR controller with superior tracking performance and delay compensation, confirmed via simulation and experiments.

Inverters play a central role in modern society including renewable energy integration and motor drives. Due to the inherent switched nature of the inverter waveforms harmonic distortion is an issue. Additionally, the switching patterns are perturbed by unavoidable switching delays. Amongst those, nonlinear and load-dependent switching delays (known as inverter dead-time delays) are the most difficult to compensate. In this paper, we propose a new approach to delay compensation and harmonic suppression in inverter voltage. The proposed approach is based on variable prediction horizon nonlinear model predictive control.

Mirzaeva G, Liu Y, Carter D, 'Observer-based control of Matrix Converters with the supply side power factor and harmonic compensation', 2023 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition, ECCE 2023 (2023) Matrix converter (MC) is a compact and power efficient replacement of the traditional two-stage AC/AC power conversion.

A known challenge to the MC control is the presence of the supply-side voltage distortion, causing distortions in both supply-side and load-side currents. This paper proposes a novel observer-based control scheme with active compensation of the supply side harmonics, along with input power factor control, resonance suppression in the input filter and high quality reference tracking of the load side current. The paper compares, by simulation, the proposed control scheme with the traditional MC control, and shows similar performance at the load side and significant performance improvements at the MC supply side.

[more] This paper provides an extensive review of control strategies for Matrix Converters (MC), starting from early research in 1980s and including the most recent and ongoing developments. The paper identifies and discusses four main approaches, namely: direct control; linear (PI) control with pulse width modulation (PWM); model predictive control (MPC); and state feedback control. Two novel control strategies for MC (fixed division MPC and state feedback control with power matching), proposed by the authors, are included in the paper scope. The paper compares performance of the selected control schemes by simulation. It demonstrates the benefits of state feedback control for MC and outlines future directions of its improvement.

This method includes a combination of a binary tree algorithm with Nonlinear Auto-Regressive with Exogenous Input (NARX) identification. The paper demonstrates that the new method performs well without any prior knowledge of the system structure. In contrast to other load modeling methods, which are typically aimed for particular studies or load types, the proposed method can be used with any load type and for any study. Accurate load modeling is particularly important for studies of industrial networks and grids. In this study, a field data set was collected in a mine site from a large electrical rope shovel. This data set has been used to develop a model of the rope shovel based on the proposed binary tree - NARX algorithm. When compared to other known methods, such as Wavelet and Sigmoid networks, the proposed method has shown the fastest training time and the highest accuracy. Finally, the modeling results have been verified against another set of field measurements from an existing network, and have shown a very good agreement.

Consequently, significant improvements of FS-MPC performance are achieved, including elimination of steady state error, improved harmonic spectrum, reduced control delays, etc. The proposed new MPC interpretation also establishes relationships between various control schemes, including FS-MPC and PWM-MPC, FS-MPC and MPC with integral action, etc. Additionally, the paper proposes further embellishments to FS-MPC based on its more efficient and accurate implementation. The findings of the paper are supported by simulations and experimental results.

In this paper we apply MPC approach to designing optimal current regulators for voltage source inverters (VSI), in the sense of tracking references and rejecting disturbances of interest. In particular, we present a detailed derivation of optimal current regulators for tracking references and rejecting disturbances of constant and harmonic types. We compare these to the existing control structures, such as proportional integral (PI) and proportional resonant (PR) current regulators. We further propose a strategy to improve their performance based on matching their structure and parameters to the optimal controllers. The findings of the paper are supported by PSIM simulations and preliminary experimental results.

Fault diagnostics and protection are known challenges in DC microgrids. In this paper, we present an overview of the existing strategies for fault diagnostics and protection of a DC microgrid and apply them to an open cut DC mine scenario, which includes large electric excavators. We propose a comprehensive fault tolerance strategy based on analysis of electrical and mechanical operations of an electric rope shovel and identification of its working cycle. Based on this strategy, in case of a fault, the electric rope shovel will be able to perform required actions to avoid collisions and safely finish its working cycle, while maintaining electric safety.

In this body of work it is usual to utilize a linear load model. Also, to deal with computational complexity, it is common to deploy horizon 1 optimization. A major difficulty with these standard approaches is that modelling errors, e.g. those arising from non-linear effects such as magnetic saturation, lead to poor tracking performance. In this paper we show that perfect tracking is achievable provided that MPC controller is augmented by a suitable observer.

Most of the existing electrical techniques of condition monitoring are based on the stator current and/or leakage flux measurement outside the motor. Besides, most of these methods only concentrate on the time harmonics analysis of the acquired signal. We propose to analyse the space harmonics of the main air gap electromagnetic flux along with the time domain analysis. To this aim, we propose to monitor the main air gap flux using Hall Effect Flux Sensors (HEFS) at all the stator slots of an induction motor, which can be used to address the stator and rotor slot effects not only through frequency analysis of the time varying magnetic flux, but also by magnitude and phase shift comparison of sensors located at different geometric positions around the stator. Moreover, by using HEFS in all the stator slots, the flux density along the circumference of the stator can be acquired and the space harmonics of the flux can be analysed, which shown promising results in detecting and locating different faults. In this paper, we concentrate on detecting different types of rotor faults such as broken rotor bar fault and eccentricity.

Most of the existing flux monitoring techniques are based ... [more] A new fault diagnosis scheme based on the monitoring of main air gap flux of squirrel cage induction motors is proposed. Most of the existing flux monitoring techniques are based on the leakage or stray flux measurement outside of the motor. A few methods, however, use the main air gap flux as the fault signature, where search coils are used to monitor the derivative of the flux, which eventually introduces noise in the signal. Moreover, the diagnosis methods are mainly based on detecting a fault, whereas very little initiative has been taken to locate a fault precisely. To address these problems, a sophisticated yet robust condition monitoring and fault diagnosis method is needed. To this aim, we propose to monitor the main air gap flux using Hall Effect Flux Sensors (HEFS) at all the stator slots of an induction motor, which can be used to address the stator and rotor slot effects not only through frequency analysis of the magnetic flux, but also by magnitude and phase shift comparison of sensors located at different geometric positions around the stator. We have successfully detected the stator turn-to-turn fault at a very incipient stage and detected the location of the fault precisely. Promising results have been obtained through simulation in the case of broken rotor bar faults as well.

[more] Condition monitoring of an induction motor may be based on measuring the electrical signals, such as stator current, electromagnetic flux etc. or mechanical signals such as vibration, noise etc. from the motor. Most of the existing electrical techniques of condition monitoring and fault diagnostics are based on the stator current and/or leakage flux measurement outside the motor. Besides, most of these methods only concentrate on the time harmonics analysis of the acquired signal. But the main air gap flux consists of both time and space harmonics. The latter is overlooked by most of the existing researches. We propose to analyse the space harmonics of the main air gap electromagnetic flux along with the time domain analysis. But to do so, a thorough knowledge of the space harmonics of the stator flux, the rotor flux and their insights is needed to be obtained. To this aim, we present the space harmonics analysis of the main air gap flux of a healthy induction in this paper. Then the applicability of the space harmonics analysis to detect the faults is discussed. Two types of rotor faults, i.e. eccentricity and the broken rotor bar fault are discussed.

Planning for Sustainable Energy Systems with Microgrid Management Microgrid (MG) and its enabling technologies (e.g. small-scale renewable energy, energy storage, demand response and information and communication systems) have attracted increasing attention in the past few years and are expected to play an important role to ensure sustainability of energy systems. However, there exists a significant research gap in planning and management of energy systems with the growing number of MGs. In this project, a planning model model is developed to conduct a quantitative investigation on the impact of MG on energy system sustainability. |

An Advanced Modified Model Predictive Control (MMPC) of Neutral-Point-Clamped Inverter (NPC) with Lower Harmonics <p>Three-phase Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) inverters are widely used power electronic converter in the medium and high voltage industrial applications. In this topology, neutral point voltage balancing is an important issue that have been investigated in the recent decades. In the literature, the commonly used control methods for NPC inverter are hysteresis control and proportional integral<br />(PI) controllers in conjunction with pulse width modulation (PWM) method. Model predictive control (MPC) is a promising and robust control tool in the field of power electronics applications. This project is expected to develop a modified model predictive control (MMPC) of three-phase NPC inverter feeding fed a resistive-inductive load, to include capacitor voltage balancing and lower harmonic distortion objectives.</p> |
