A DC/DC Modular-Multilevel Converter (MMC) is proposed in this paper, in which two modular multilevel converters are linked by a LCL tank. With the proposed converter, the high power medium frequency transformer can be eliminated to simplify the structure, quasi zero-current-switching operation of both MMCs can be achieved to alleviate the switching loss, the voltage stress of internal LCL tank can...
Wave energy converters generally suffer from a low operating power factor due to the nature of the long wavelength water wave and the inductance of the electrical generator employed in the conversion process. A Forced Commutated Series Capacitor (FCSC) converter can be connected between the generator and the load circuit to prevent power factor degradation. This paper describes the effectiveness of...
This paper deals with an electronic load controller (ELC) for a standalone induction generator (IG) used in small hydro power generation. The proposed ELC is used to control the voltage and frequency of IG. This ELC is realized using a non-isolated T-connected transformer and three-leg insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) based current controlled voltage source converter (VSC), a capacitor,...
This paper deals with an integrated solid state controller (ISSC) for an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) used in small hydro power generation for feeding three-phase four-wire loads. The proposed ISSC is used to control the voltage and frequency of IAG. This ISSC is realized using a three-leg insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) based current controlled voltage source converter (CC-VSC),...
This work presents a design optimization procedure for Series Parallel Resonant Converters (LCC) employed in Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) power supplies. The system parameters, such as resonant tank elements, are selected in order to reduce semiconductor losses when a typical ESP energization operation range is considered. Here, the sum of the power losses of the switches are predicted for a set...
This paper deals with the decoupled voltage and frequency controller (DVFC) for isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) used in pico hydro power generation for feeding 3-phase, 4-wire loads. The proposed controller is used to control the voltage and frequency through control of active power at the generator terminal independently. The decoupled controller is a combination of a static compensator (STATCOM)...
This paper deals with the decoupled voltage and frequency controller (DVFC) for isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) used in pico hydro power generation for feeding 3-phase, 4-wire loads. The proposed controller is used to control the voltage and frequency through control of active power and reactive power at the generator terminal independently. The decoupled controller is a combination of a static...
This paper deals with a voltage and frequency control of an isolated asynchronous generator feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads in constant power applications where terminal voltage, excitation capacitor, speed and generated power of the generator remain constant under all operating conditions. The proposed controller functions as an improved electronic load controller (IELC) to regulate the frequency and...
