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 novel single-phase five-level active rectifier based on the VIENNA-type rectifier with model predictive current control is presented. The proposed topology operates in unidirectional mode, imposing a sinusoidal grid-side current with unitary power factor. A unidirectional electric vehicle battery charger is the target application in which the proposed rectifier is used; however, it can also be used...
Current source inverter (CSI) is a family of power converters which has been recently investigated for photovoltaic power conversion in grid-tied operation, due to the inherent boost capability and ease of control. This paper assess Photovoltaic three-phase Current Source Inverters by two different CSI topologies and space vector modulation commutation strategies. Different CSI solutions are therefore...
This paper presents a cascaded, highly efficient and reliable inverter configuration (HERIC) based multi-level inverter (MLI) to minimise the leakage current in the PV applications. The cascaded HERIC based nine-level MLI proposed in this paper requires less number of power semiconductor devices when compared with the conventional neutral point clamped (NPC), flying capacitor and cascaded H-bridge...
Transformerless inverters are being widely used in low power grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation systems. Transformer elimination has many advantages; it reduces cost, size, weight and also increases the whole system efficiency. However, once the transformer is removed, there is no galvanic isolation between grid and PV array and, as a consequence, a leakage current may appears due to the...
In DC-biased sinusoidal current vernier reluctance machines (DC-biased-VRMs), the DC exciting winding and AC armature winding are integrated into one single winding. Therefore, the copper loss can be reduced with torque density increasing, and only one set of power electronic converter is demanded. This paper is to propose a DC-biased-VRMs drive with asymmetrical power electronics devices and corresponding...
This paper proposes a non-symmetrical permanent-magnet linear motor traction system (PMLMTS), in which the primary permanent-magnet linear motor (PMLM) is employed. Four movers are mounted with same phase angles. There are nine legs, including eight independent legs and one common leg. All legs have same normal voltage but different normal currents. The normal current of the common leg is four times...

Compared with the conventional eliminating common-mode voltage vectors modulation strategy, this method can well suppress...
Variable flux memory (VFM) permanent magnet (PM) machines exhibit an additional degree-of-freedom for control, i.e. PM magnetization state, and thus excellent flux controllability. Moreover, the hybrid PM topologies having variable PM (VPM) with low coercive force and constant PM (CPM) with high coercive force at the same time, are employed to improve the torque density and the flux controllability...

A boost dc-dc dimmable AC-LED driver is presented in this paper based on Zero Current Switching Quasi-Resonant Converters (ZCS-QRCs). The proposed driver is based on replacing the diode in conventional converter topologies (i.e. buck, boost or buck-boost) by a string of High-Brightness Light-Emitting Diodes (HB-LED). Hence, the HB-LED string will be working as the rectifier of the converter switching...
