Photovoltaic (PV) systems and other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) can provide voltage and frequency support to the electric grid through commanded and autonomous operating modes. These functions have been standardized in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Report 61850-90-7 in 2013; and recently, in response to national and international requirements, are being a...

If the integrated starter generator (ISG) motor and inverter operate under continuously high loading conditions, the system’s performance and durability will decrease and the heat dissipation requirements will increase. Therefore, in this study, we developed two cooling designs for the ISG motor and inverter, and then carried out both a model analysis and an experiment on the fluid flow and the...

There is growing interest in renewable energy around the world. Since most renewable sources are intermittent in nature, it is a challenging task to integrate renewable energy resources into the power grid infrastructure. Distribution systems provide standby service during utility outages and when operated during peak load hours, potentially reduce energy costs. This paper presents a grid inter...

Solid rotor alternator is of great importance at high ratings for generation of electric power as they can with stand huge centrifugal forces developed in the alternator. When a non liner load is connected to such an alternator network it invariably injects harmonics into the system which becomes a power quality issue. In order to compensate for the harmonic content a shunt active filter is con...

Single-phase single-stage PV-Grid system using a five-level inverter has been investigated. Some of integration systems used two-stage converters, while others used single-stage converter. However, two-stage converters had a very complicated problem. The first converter acted as a maximum power point tracker to maximize power generated by sunlight energy to electric power, implemented by PV. Th...

This paper presents a new control scheme for three levels NPC Inverter to boost up the input dc voltage and give three levels AC output voltage with less harmonic distortion in a single stage.Recently, Single stage high voltage pick up support inverter is getting ubiquity in applications like sun powered PV, energy component, UPS systems and so on. As of late, single stage voltage support multi...

The goal of this work is to reduce the DC-link capacitance of a two-stage single-phase inverter so much that the use of film capacitors becomes feasible in both, price and volume. Film capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors could increase lifetime and reliability of the inverter, especially in high-temperature applications like module-integrated micro-inverters. For the capacitance reduc...

The two major things, size and power consumption are very important parameter for any digital circuit design. Because all of us want to use the equipments that have compact in size and less power consumption, this paper investigates the applications of CMOS technology in the nanometer regime beyond 20 nm channel length where the relative study of average power dissipation of CMOS inverter is fo...

The acoustic sound level caused as secondary effects of industrial energy conversion processes is often perceived as an unwelcome noise emitted into the enclosing surrounding. In order to verify design aspects for reducing such undesirable noise emission in particular within variable electric speed drive applications, suggested novel combinations of electrical and mechanical motor topologies ar...
