A major setback for large scale electric vehicle market expansion compared to their internal combustion competitors consists in their high price and low driving range. One way of reducing the cost, dimensions and mass of electric vehicles is to eliminate the dedicated AC/DC converter used for battery charging. Alternatively, charging could be done using the motor windings as grid side inductors and...
This paper proposes a discrete-time sliding mode current observer (DSMCO) that relies only on the measure of the voltage between a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) and a self-excited induction generator (SEIG). Thus, the proposed observer reduces the overall cost of the voltage regulator system, however, the current sensor's cost is significant. The proposed algorithm is also adaptive, because...
This paper investigates a new approach to develop and implement a virtual flux oriented control (VFOC) for the front-end three phase bidirectional voltage source converter (VSC) by adapting the principle operations of voltage oriented control (VOC) and power estimation used in virtual flux direct power control (VFDPC). The proposed VFOC operates with minimal number of sensors by avoiding the used...
This paper deals with the development of an adaptive control system applied to voltage regulation of a standalone distributed power generation system, fed by self-excited induction generator. The generation system considers a four wire three-phase grid, composed by three phases plus neutral conductor, fed by three-phase three wires induction generator. The neutral conductor is created from the neutral...
This paper presents a generalized space vector modulation (SVM) method for any modular multilevel converter (MMC). The proposed SVM method produces the maximum level number (i.e., 2«+l, where n is the number of submodules in the upper or lower arm of each phase) of the output phase voltages and a higher equivalent switching frequency than other modulation methods, which consequently leads to reduced...
In wind energy systems, doubly-fed induction generator is commonly used. The grid requirements for DFIG operation in an occurrence of low voltage ride-through can damage or destroy the converter or damage the generator and its operation can can help the robustness of the power systems by the injection of reactive power. Thus, this paper proposed a deadbeat direct power control for doubly-fed induction...
Modular Multilevel Converters have a large number of advantages at high voltage and power levels. Due to their modular structure, they offer easy scalability, high quality output waveforms, and superior availability, to name a few. This paper aims at further increasing the availability of the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter. A new method allows to operate the converter even in the case that a...
This paper presents a new pulse width modulator dedicated basically for under determined systems. The solution of the under determined problem is performed by minimum 1-inflnity norm solution. One of known under determined system is a four-leg three-phase converter because four reference signals must be created from three control commands. The infinity norm enables to find proper solution to generate...
In this paper, the problem of grid integration of a kite generator system (KGS), is handled. The mechanical power generated by the kite's traction is translated into an electrical one via a permanent magnet synchronous machine. This power is then injected in the grid or used to supply an isolated load after passing a power electronics interface. Control schemes have been developed for grid connected...

The state predictive observer estimates the state variables of the system one step ahead, so that the discrete-time sliding mode controller generates...

In the uncontrollable regions of the N3V...

The two matrix converters feeding a seven-phase load are supplied from a common single three-phase utility source of 50 Hz. Space...
In grid-connected wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), phase locked loop (PLL) technique became widely used to enhance the stability and power quality. However, the accuracy of PLL is one of the major aspects that influence the system performance. Conventional synchronous-reference frame PLL (SRF-PLL) techniques have difficulty of low accuracy, frequency fluctuation, power oscillation and poor...
Control, design and operational characteristics of multilevel modular matrix converter (MMxC), which conducts ac/ac direct frequency conversion, are presented in this paper. MMxC consists of a large number of H-bridge cells connected in series and thus is suitable for high voltage and high power applications. After brief explanation about power flow and capacitor voltage balancing control schemes,...
The integration of renewable energy systems and specifically of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into the grid has become an important issue in the last decade because of the huge expansion of new power plants. PV systems have experienced an important evolution in the overall efficiency and in the variety of locations from low power installations (PV roof systems in domestic and residential applications)...

A novel microgrid control is proposed in the paper. Independent control of active and reactive power for each unit connected to the common microgrid bus is realized in addition to the power sharing in the designed ratio among the units. The concepts of voltage droop and frequency droop applied widely are incorporated here as well. The price paid for the independent control is the reference frame transformation...
