[ 1 ] - Turbo Expander System Behavior Improvement Using an Adaptive Fuzzy PID Controller

Turbo-expanders are used in industries for cooling, liquefaction and also power generation. An important part of these turbines is the variable angle nozzle causing a nonlinear behavior that is not well recognized among the prime movers of the dispersed generators. In this paper, at first, the turbo expander system is evaluated in details and its nonlinear behavior is investigated. Then, the sy...

[ 3 ] - A New Pulsating Power Elimination Method for Single-Phase PWM AC/DC Converters with Minimum Voltage and Current Stress

An inherent problem of single-phase rectifiers is the existence of a pulsating portion in the input power, which pulsates at twice the grid frequency. If this pulsating power is transferred to the DC-link, it causes a significant amount of second-order harmonic at the output voltage. Since in many applications, such a high level of DC oscillation is not acceptable, so the pulsating power must b...

[ 4 ] - A New Non-linear Control of the Four-Leg Inverter with Decoupled Model and Fast Dynamic Response for PV Generation Systems

Distributed generation (DG) will play an important role in future power generation systems, especially in stand-alone applications. Three phase four-leg inverter is a well-known topology which can be used as an interface power converter for DGs. Thanks to the fourth leg to provide the neutral path, the four-leg inverter is able to supply balanced loads as well as unbalanced loads. In this paper...

[ 5 ] - Space Vector Modulation Technique to Reduce Leakage Current of a Transformerless Three-Phase Four-Leg Photovoltaic System

Photovoltaic systems integrated to the grid have received considerable attention around the world. They can be connected to the electrical grid via galvanic isolation (transformer) or without it (transformerless). Despite making galvanic isolation, low frequency transformer increases size, cost and losses. On the other hand, transformerless PV systems increase the leakage current (common-mode c...

[ 6 ] - DFIG Based Wind Turbines Behavior Improvement during Wind Variations using Fractional Order Control Systems

This paper is concerned with behavior analysis and improvement of wind turbines with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) when using a new fractional-order control strategy during wind variations. A doubly fed induction generator, two types of variable frequency power electronic converters and two input wind waveforms are considered. A fractional-order control strategy is proposed for the wind...

[ 7 ] - Design of A Single-Phase Transformerless Grid-Connected PV Inverter ‎Considering Reduced Leakage Current and LVRT Grid Codes

A new single-phase transformerless grid-connected PV inverter is presented in this paper. Investigations in transformerless grid-connected PV inverters indicate the existence of the leakage current is directly related to the variable common-mode voltage (CMV), which is presented in detail. On the other hand, in recent years it has become mandatory for the transformerless grid-connected PV inver...
