Dead-time is added into traditional pulse width modulation (PWM) control to avoid short circuit of DC link of inverters. The dead-time can cause problems such as voltage loss, increasing the value of total harmonic distortion of the current waveform (THDI) as well as output current distortion at the zero-crossing. To solve these problems, many studies have been made to deal with the dead-time issues...
Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) are widely used nowadays in grid-connected Wind Turbine Systems (WTS). The typical control strategy for WTS is the maximum power coefficient tracking method. However, this method limits desirable ancillary services from WTS, such as power quality improvement in the network. Therefore this paper derives the optimal reference power coefficient of the WTS that can...

Common-mode voltage (Vcm) generated by voltage inverters is observed on motor windings. This voltage may induce bearing currents, which can eventually damage AC motors and cause larger common-mode currents. Many methods are proposed to eliminate or reduce the common-mode voltage. Most of these methods reduce the DC-bus voltage utilization and increase the output voltage harmonics. This paper introduces...
