In this paper a multisource renewable energy system for high-current applications is proposed. The power architecture is based on a multi-input power converter including control and reconfiguration subsystems. Independently of the type of connected renewable sources, a proper control of the output DC voltage bus is provided as well as a proper control on the operating point of each renewable source...
This paper presents a new and simple Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) strategy of the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter (M3C). This converter is one of the direct AC/AC power converters suitable for medium-voltage high-power machine drives with regenerative capacity. One of the main feature of this converter is that does not need external dc-voltage supplies and thus, all capacitor...
This paper presents a single-phase Hybrid Flying Dc-Source Active Neutral Point Clamped inverter, derived from the Hybrid Active Neutral Point Clamped/Flying Capacitor inverter. In order to validate the proposed concept, simulation studies and experimental measurements are presented. It is also shown the feasibility of application of the proposed inverter in single-phase isolated load PV systems.
The paper analyzes the behavior of a three-phase consumer, consisting of several personal computers connected to a transformer's secondary phases. The modalities of monitoring and recording of electrical quantities are presented in this work. The structure of the consumer is described. The recorded waveforms are analyzed. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis allowed for the decomposition of the...
The monitoring and supervision of grid-connected solar and wind energy sources with consumers require further improvement of the performance and the stability of energy transfer. Therefore, the effective communication between the power generation and the supervisory nodes of power grids are necessary to manage electrical generation from renewable energy sources. The communication interface, which...
Power plants employing renewable energy sources connected to large power systems continue increasing their number and size. PV and wind farms are a clear example of this trend. They employ power electronics in order to inject power in the grid and in most cases the interaction does not take into account the power system needs. However, as their size increases, these plants should support the grid...
In order to capture real-time characteristics of ultracapacitors (UCs), especially for electric transportation applications, they need to be modeled dynamically. Dynamic models provide accurate estimation of UC charge/discharge responses to varied inputs. Dynamic models are useful in predicting the behavior of UCs under varied load conditions. Also, it is critical to build an accurate UC model, which...
The commercial success of electric vehicles (EVs) relies heavily on the presence of high-efficiency charging stations. This paper provides an overview and a comprehensive performance comparison of the present status and future implementation plans for DC fast charging infrastructures and converter topologies. The paper also discusses critical consequences of DC fast charging stations on the AC grid...
In several industrial systems, designers have mainly explored topology variations, which are the case of space-vector control systems of electrical machines or active filters and power electronic converters, where the control loops still have traditional PID controllers. As the possibilities of topologies have been very explored, designers are turning attention towards nonlinear control schemes. However,...
