In this paper the virtual synchronous generator control is introduced to MW-Scale Medium Voltage power system. The virtual synchronous generator with its inertia and damping features can be considered as an improvement for the communication-less control method (droop control). The MW-Scale Medium Voltage is generally preferable for its high power density, reduced current level, and reduced losses...

Application areas such as electric vehicles, data centers and microgrids increasingly rely on power electronic converters and electric motor drives to control loads. These tightly regulated converters act as Constant Power Loads (CPLs) in the context of the entire system. The negative incremental impedance of a CPL causes inherent instability which may lead to a grid collapse. This paper reviews the...
Since the Kyoto agreement on global greenhouse-gas emissions has been ratified by nearly all nations, individual countries pledged to reduce conventional fossil fuel-based generation and integrating more renewable energy sources within the electricity grids. With such enthusiasm, researchers have identified several challenges in achieving this goal. These challenges include extensive mix of utility,...
Recently, DC distribution has been more and more considered in shipbuilding industry as an emerging solution due to its potential to enhance the system performance in terms of fuel economy, reliability, volume and weight. Moreover, there is a growing trend to integrate alternative power sources (APSs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) into next-generation ships, and thus reducing cost and emission...
The main purpose of this paper is to develop a DC voltage controller with AC power ripple compensation for single phase ACDC converter, which is served as the front-end converter for an energy storage system. Due to the single phase ACDC converter circuit topology, the AC and DC side both exist power ripple with doubled grid frequency. In conventional controller, DC voltage is controlled to be a constant...
