This paper presents a new active gate drive for SiC MOSFETs switching. The proposed driver is based on feedforward control method. The switch is benefited from a simple and effective analog gate driver (GD). The main achievement of this GD is the transient enhancement with minimum undesirable effect on the switching efficiency. Also, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) as the main threat to the...
This paper introduces a novel active gate driver (AGD) for switching control of the silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. The new gate driver improves the current and voltage profiles by suppression of the overshoot problems. The main innovation of the proposed AGD is the modification of gate-source voltage slope in two stages for both turn-on and turn-off transitions with a simple closed-loop control, which...

A novel active gate driver (AGD) for silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET is studied in this paper. The gate driver (GD) increases the gate resistance value during the voltage plateau area of the gate-source voltage, in both turn-on and turn-off transitions. The proposed AGD is validated in both simulation and experimental environments and in hard-switching conditions. The simulation is evaluated in MATLAB/Simulink...
This paper proposes a novel insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) gate driver. The new gate driver (GD) has positive effect on the injected gate current to enhance the IGBT switching mechanism. The approach is based on the Posicast control method. Simple structure is the most important advantage of this feedforward controller. The main objective is to improve turn-on switching transients without...

Transient stability enhancement through using a Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Rotor Speed Deviation Signal (RSDS) of synchronous machine are thoroughly investigated in this paper. Speed deviation signal of generator as a remote signal is sent to SVC in order to achieve more transient stability. Studies are carried out on Kundur's four machine two-area test system which SVC is implemented on midway...
Integration of large amount of wind energy in an interconnected power system creates concerns about secure, reliable and economical operation of the entire power system. So it becomes very necessary to investigate the impacts of wind power infeed on the dynamic behavior of the power system. This paper presents the impacts of large amount of wind power in feed on the rotor oscillatory stability. Wind...
Electro-mechanical oscillations are produced, in the machines of an interconnected power network, followed by a disturbance or due to high power transfer through weak tie lines. These oscillations should be damped as quickly as possible to ensure the reliable and stable operation of the network. To damp these oscillations different controllers, based on local or wide area signals, have been the subject...
