We analyzed the local behaviors of both time and space harmonic magnetic fluxes in this research to improve the efficiency of inverter feeding induction motors. As a result, we clarified that: (1) the magnetic flux of time harmonics passes in parallel through rotor bars, and (2) the magnetic flux of space harmonics passes radially through the rotor bars from the delay side in the direction of rotation...

The grid-feeding voltage controlled inverter (GF-VCI) based on droop control is vulnerable to the harmonic voltages of the utility grid. Because of the equivalent impedance of system is small, the slight distorted grid voltage will result in the harmonic component increasing of GF-VCI output currents. Therefore, the reason of generation of distorted grid-feeding current of GF-VCI under the distorted...

Understanding about harmonic propagation in wind turbine converter is fundamental to research the influence of these on a large network harmonic distortion. Therefore, the analysis of wind turbine converter harmonic spectrum as well as the influence of converter operating point into the network is urgently important issues in harmonic studies on wind farm. However, the conventional modeling procedure...
The use of the virtual admittance concept for harmonic and/or unbalance compensation in microgrids when multiple inverters operate in parallel is proposed in this paper. The virtual impedance concept has been traditionally used for these purposes. However, one drawback of the virtual impedance is that it can only be applied to distributed generation (DG) units operating in voltage control mode (VSI-VCM),...
This paper presents a predictive current control strategy with active damping method applied to a current source inverter. This control strategy uses a discrete-time model of the system to predict the future value of the grid current for all possible current vectors generated by the inverter. According to a cost function that minimizes the errors of the predicted grid current and the reference grid...
Fast and accurate synchronization of power electronics interfaced distributed generation to the grid or a microgrid is an important step in the management and utilization of the distributed energy resources. Several synchronization algorithms have been proposed to improve the phase tracking of the grid voltage. However, when the grid is weak or distorted, the synchronization process may suffer from...
For grid-connected inverter, an LCL-type filter is widely used to suppress switching harmonics, and the capacitor current feedback is used to suppress the LCL resonance. In the published literatures, the relation among LCL parameters, capacitor current feedback and resonance damping was discussed; however, their relation with the low-order current distortion was not seriously considered. Considering...

Conversely, the proposed predictive control scheme is simple and controls two the three-phase...
The internal model principle based Repetitive Control (RC) offers an accurate control strategy for grid-tied power converters to feed sinusoidal current into the grid. However, in the presence of grid frequency variations, the conventional RC fails to produce high quality feeding current. This paper thus explores a frequency adaptive repetitive control strategy for grid converters, which employs fractional...

With increasing penetration of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power generation in distribution network, the equivalent impedance of the distribution network and the distribution capacitance of the interconnection cables are changed. The changed impedance network may be excited by the harmonic current of inverters or the harmonics of the grid voltage, which will affect the power quality and stable...
