This paper presents new constraints for Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE)-PWM technique utilized in single phase applications. The proposed constraints eliminate all triplen harmonic orders naturally whereas they appear in all single-phase output voltage waveforms conventionally. The specified non-triplen harmonics are also eliminated through calculation of switching angles. Five-level high switching...
This paper develops an analytical model to study the performance of dual-wound three-phase surface permanent magnet synchronous machines under normal operating conditions and various fault scenarios. 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...
Parallel three-level T-type inverters (3LT2Is) can increase power rating and reliability, but the circulating current problem will arise. Unbalanced conditions including unbalanced filter inductances and unbalanced grid voltage have negative effects on the operation of parallel 3LT2Is. This paper presents an improved repetitive control scheme for circulating current suppression in parallel 3LT2Is...
Grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) inverters are required to have harmonics mitigation control to reduce harmonics distortion on the output current caused by the impact of grid background harmonics. In this paper, a decentralized control strategy for reduction of the impact of distorted grid voltage on the AC-stacked PV inverter architecture is proposed. Two control schemes with the selective harmonics mitigation...
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...
Harmonic and interharmonic distortions are considered as the main power quality issues especially in the distribution networks. The double-stage Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) in which the front-end diode rectifier is connected to a rear-end inverter through an intermediate DC-link filter may inject significant amount of harmonics and interharmonics into the grid and consequently degrade the grid...

The proposed circuit realizes loss dispersion to each semiconductors and transformers. As conventional circuits for an Industrial, Scientific, and the Medical (ISM) band, inverters with...
In this paper, three control strategies for a wide band-gap bidirectional DC-DC converter (BDC) are introduced and combined to improve the vehicle traction system performance. A feed-forward control algorithm is proposed to reduce the voltage ripple of DC-link capacitor located between the BDC and traction inverter. Through voltage control of the BDC, both three-phase short and uncontrolled generator...
This paper presents an ac ripple repression method for neutral-point voltage of three-level inverter system with electrolytic capacitor less. To reduce the volume of three-level inverter system, electrolytic capacitor with huge capacitance is must eliminated from dc-link. In the inverter system applying film capacitors, however, the ac ripple component in neutral-point voltage of dc-link is increased...
Harmonic resonance issues have been attracted more and more attention due to a large number of power electronic inverters being used in power systems. In this paper, in order to have a deep insight into resonances, the singular value sensitivities with respect to component parameters of the network and the control parameters of inverters are used for harmonic resonance analysis based on Singular Value...
A novel control strategy which enables proportional linear and nonlinear loads sharing among paralleled inverters and voltage harmonic suppression is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on the autonomous currents sharing controller (ACSC) instead of conventional power droop control to provide fast transient response, decoupling control and large stability margin. The current components...
Inverters are widely applied in industrial fields. To acquire the analytical solution of sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) Single-phase inverters, a traditional harmonic balance based method is extended, in which the double Fourier transform is used to describe the nonlinear switching function of the converter. Thus the steady-state periodic solution of the inverter can be obtained by our approach...
Full Feed-forward (FF) approach has been proved to be an effective method to suppress the output current distortion of the LCL type grid-connected inverter (GCI) due to grid voltage harmonics. Since most of the existing FF approachs are realized by digital control, a futher study of the digital control based (DCB) FF approach has been carried out in this paper firstly. It is shown that, there are...

The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is widely used as an important driving source in a variety of fields. However, it generates electromagnetic noise and vibration because of PWM inverters. This paper describes...
Current-controlled LCL-filtered inverters are usually paralleled together for interconnecting the renewable energy resources into the grid. When the inverter output impedance is not well designed, the harmonic circulating currents out of the control bandwidth may be easily aroused. To reveal this resonant phenomenon and to enhance the stability of the parallel system, this paper builds the parallel...
Power quality of ac bus voltage is a key issue for microgrids. A model-predictive-control (MPC)-based distributed bus voltage compensation methods using inverter-interfaced distributed generators (DGs) connected to the concerned bus is proposed. The presented method can compensate bus voltage unbalance and harmonics and share the compensated current between inverters autonomously, with neither communication...
This paper further develops the concept of very large size flash-memory-based pulse-width-modulation (PWM) with the implementation of an over-modulation algorithm for a three-phase inverter. The compensation of voltage for linearization is incorporated within the same flash memory with a multi-optimal PWM generator. Using flash memory demonstrates a low cost alternative to advanced processors. This...
The LCL-type grid connected inverter has been widely used as the intelligent power interface between the distributed generation unit and the power grid. To reduce the cost and volume of the filter, it is desirable to design the LCL filter with higher resonance frequency provided that the quality of injected grid current is not compromised. Actually, it is the typical case for the T-type or NPC three-level...
