when power systems are expanded and connected together with weak tie lines, the low-frequency oscillations are increased and the stability margin of the power system decreases. therefore, when designing the transmission system to be used, it is necessary to maintain the dynamic stability of the power system, and to make sure to have the most possible stability margin. sssc is a facts device con...

The doubly-fed generators (DFIG) have clear superiority for the applications of large capacity and limited-range speed control case due to the partially rated inverter, lower cost and high reliability. These characteristics enable the doubly-fed wound rotor induction machine to have vast applications in wind-driven generation.In this paper Combined Vector and direct power control (CVDPC) strate...

This research deals with investigations on the “Active Generator” under rotor speed variations and output frequency control. It runs at turbine speed and it is connected to a three phase electrical power grid which has its own frequency different from turbine frequency. In this regard the set composed of a four phase synchronous generator and a natural commutated matrix converter (NCMC) made wi...

This paper proposes a three phase transformerless AC/AC converter which can perform both buck and boost operations based on the voltage requirements. This AC/AC converter is mainly proposed for the three phase induction motor drives with the intention to reduce the high inrush current of the conventional motor used in industrial applications. The merits of the proposed AC/AC converter can be un...

The aim of this paper is to describe work involved in investigations on the implementation of single phase matrix converter (SPMC) as an AC-AC converter subjected to passive load conditions. The successful implementation of the SPMC had been conceived, designed and realized by synthesizing the output using the well known sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique with IGBTs as power swi...

a few papers have been interested by the fixed switching frequency direct torque control fed by direct matrix converters, where we can find just the use of direct torque controlled space vector modulated method. In this present paper, we present an improved method used for a fixed switching frequency direct torque control (DTC) using a direct matrix converter (DMC). This method is characterized...

AC SYSTEM OSCILLATIONS? J. D. Mountford During the 1960's many HVDC applications were developed throughout the world but these , were surrounded by a certain aura of evan, gel ism. Now HVDC has indeed become recognized as an invaluable, if very specialized, system design recourse. However, there still remains a tendency to overestimate its advantages in service. One of the conceptual advantages...

The matrix converter has many advantages in wind power system applications. Matrix converter is compact and highly efficient because it directly converts generated power from AC generator to AC grid without intermediate DC bus while conventional back-to-back converter systems requires many electrolytic capacitors in DC link bus which are bulky and have short life-time. Matrix converter has both...

Abstract: A three-phase to single-phase matrix converter is investigated in the present paper. Based on the state matrix vector, a mathematical analysis of the converter is performed giving the relation between the sinusoidal line voltage (current) and the output voltage (current). The results of the investigation are confirmed using computer simulation of the converter by the program product C...

The modular multilevel converter is considered the state-of-the-art power electronic solution for high-power high-voltage applications that require a DC stage and operate with fixed frequency at their AC terminals. However, in AC-AC variable-frequency applications, it has been proved this topology presents an unnecessarily large number of components intolerably high submodule-capacitor voltage ...
