Three-port converter (TPC) topologies for renewable energy systems aim to provide higher efficiency and power density than conventional cascaded structures. This work proposes an analytical comparison of different TPC topologies for a photovoltaic LED lamp stand-alone system. A comparison using component stress factor (CSF) is performed, which gives a quantitative measure of the performance of the...
Multilevel converters are widely recognized as a suitable solution for directly interfacing different types of power sources and energy storage systems to the medium voltage grids, due to their ability in high-voltage and high-power applications. The DC-voltage regulation of a five-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) in closed loop is presented. It consists to regulate the average value of the DC-voltage...
Multi-level matrix converter (MMC) is a three phase ac-ac converter that can synthesize three or more levels at the output voltage while maintaining desired input power factor. In this paper a new converter, Capacitor clamped Multi-level Matrix converter (CMMC) has been proposed as an addition to the MMC family. In comparison to conventional matrix converter, the CMMC offers an additional level at...
A miniature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is expected to be applied to small electronic devices such as smartphones. However, PEMFC cannot response quickly against fast load changes of electronic devices. Hybrid power source system using fuel cell (FC) and supercapacitor (SC) with multi-port bidirectional DC-DC converter has been proposed. In this work, the energy management method has...

This paper introduces a simple method to measure the output impedance of a three-phase grid-connected inverter in dq-domain. The impedance measurements are most often used for model verification purposes but they can be also utilized to study impedance-based interactions between three-phase converters and the utility grid. Therefore, the methods to model and measure three-phase impedances can provide...
Multi-MW wind power converter's reliability is a key issue for the whole wind power generation system. Due to wind power fluctuation, IGBT's handling power is fluctuating largely and rapidly, which will cause a large junction temperature variation of IGBT. Thermal stress is the main factor affecting IGBT's lifetime. In this paper, the adaptive thermal control is proposed to improve IGBT's lifetime...
This paper presents an input switched multilevel inverter topology for controlling a three-phase open-end winding induction motor drive. In this topology, DC link voltage obtained from a single voltage source is divided into ‘n’ equal steps, and a single pole multi-throw (SPMT) configuration is used to select any desired voltage level from these possible ‘n’ voltage levels. This is followed by H-bridge...
Permanent magnet synchronous motors have been widely used due to their high performance and high efficiency. In this paper, we talk about the control of a 750kW permanent magnet synchronous generator which is used for a hybrid turbocharger for a marine application. The controller outputs regulated 700V dc bus voltage with a voltage variation of less than 5% under 100% load transient condition to ensure...
This paper presents the novel load regulation technique for parallel connected POLs which reads for power supply on chip (power-SoC). In power-SoC, many POLs are implemented on the same chip. In this case, the conventional loop control (feedback control) may have some problem such as oscillation. The proposed strategy regulates the output voltage by changing number of the working POLs under fixed...

The developed AC-chopper for series voltage sag compensation is applied for three phase four wire system; therefore, three single phase ac chopper circuits and three series transformers are utilized. By using AC-chopper, there are no required for a dc bus; thereupon, the size of proposed...
Among other bilateral control systems, those of symmetric type have advantage of simple structure, force sensorless and readiness to stabilize. However, a symmetric type bilateral system is known to have poor haptic performance. In this paper, we propose a bilateral system design without force sensor, based on a generalized system structure of master slave systems. Force feedback and position tracking...

The validity and effectiveness of the simulation system is confirmed through application examples: optimization of the motor control parameters and vibration suppression control...
High penetration of PV generation may result in serious voltage rise in the distribution power system due to reverse power flow. This paper presents a decentralized voltage control for PV inverters to mitigate voltage fluctuations. Instead of operating in MPPT (maximum power point tracking) mode, each PV inverter is able to adjust its real power and reactive power based on resistive and inductive...

Electrical drives with open-end winding configurations offer certain advantages over drives with star-connected windings such as higher dc-link voltage utilization and lower inverter losses. However, there are a couple of drawbacks like circulating currents, diminishing the performance of the drive. This paper compares the performance of inverter and drive configurations with star-connected windings...
A multilevel converter topology with common flying capacitors (CFC) was proposed recently. It has the advantage that fewer components are required, thus lower cost and higher power density are possible to be realized. However, due to the common circuit shared among different phases, voltage level skips are easy to be caused, which will make the system suffer surge voltage and could be a threat to...
