For manifolds with topologies that strongly differ from the standard topology of Rn, using common filters created for linear domains can yield misleading results. While there is a lot of ongoing research on estimation on the unit circle, higher-dimensional problems particularly pose a challenge. One important generalization of the unit circle is the unit hypersphere. In this paper, we propose a recursive...
Renewable energy resources are connected to power grid through voltage source inverters. In these systems, the electric current entering into the grid is supposed to fulfill the IEEE criteria, so that high quality of power with less distortion is transported. Due to this, low pass filters like L, LC or LCL are applied by means of the inverter to minimize the harmonics getting into the grid. LCL filters...

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy generations such as solar and wind power, negative impacts of the large-scale integration of renewable energy on the bulk grid cannot be ignored. Thus, grid integration testing of inverter-coupled renewable energy is essential. For this reason, a high power gird simulator capable of emulating various types of realistic grid conditions is needed for...

A generic analytical model of inductance calculation is developed considering multiple layers of coils in the stator slots for different slot-pole combinations. The performance of three dual-wound machine...
This paper discusses a power rectifier based on a cascaded topology composed of a three-leg cell and three H-bridge cells. Each leg of the three-leg cell is cascaded connected to an H-bridge cell. Since different types of converter are series-connected, the topology is assumed to be hybrid. The capacitors of the H-bridge cells operate as floating capacitors. It is shown that the discussed topology...
This paper presents a new topology of multilevel converter that allows to increase the number of output voltage levels reducing the numbers of semiconductors necessary in comparison with the standard multilevel converters like Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) and Stacked Multicell Converter (SMC). This new topology called Reduced Multilevel Converter (RMC) consists of a tandem connection of basic...
In order to reduce the size of high-voltage flying capacitors in the five-level hybrid-clamped inverter, an improved modulation strategy based on phase-shifted PWM (PSPWM) is proposed in this paper. The four carrier waves are redistributed and the charge/discharge time of the high voltage capacitor can be largely reduced. The only disadvantage of this PWM scheme is that the harmonic characteristic...
Multilevel topology and selective harmonic compensation (SHC) can control active power, reactive power, and to provide ancillary functions to support the grid. However, researchers find that with conventional L or LCL filter, multilevel SHC would act as noise source and inject harmonics to the grid by itself. Moreover, the output current of the multilevel converter is sensitive to the error of the...

This hybrid filter topology utilizes the DC bus established by the AFE and provides load harmonics at the PCC. Unlike traditional hybrid active filters, this topology uses no real power or control loops to maintain...

The developed configuration is composed of one single-phase ac-dc-ac three-leg module and two H-bridges, one of them connected in the shared part of the system to employ multilevel voltages to input and output converter, and the other one connected on the grid side for input overvoltage. The converter is employed in applications...

Besides, the converter can be used to mitigate fundamental overvoltage...
This study is to optimize the cell voltage and arm current in double-star modular multilevel converters (DSMMCs) based on Lagrange multiplier of energy cost function and arm current tracking control law.

The trends in power DC/DC conversion are not only size and weight reduction together with a good efficiency; EMI and mass production are a must as well. In this context, piezoelectric transformers seem to be the ideal solution, since they allow higher switching frequencies (size and weight reduction) while also providing high efficiencies. Additionally, they are not magnetic devices, which facilitates...
