This paper deals with an indirect current controlled shunt active power filter (SAPF) for improving power quality by reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering. The presence of harmonics and reactive power in the power source because it will cause additional power losses and malfunctions. The proposed APF is based on a voltage source inverter (VSI). The VSI is controlled by two loops, t...

This application example describes how Motion Control applications with the output stages for servo, DC and stepper motors by Beckhoff are optimized by the utilization of buffer capacitors. The buffer capacitor terminals EL9570 for EtherCAT and KL9570 for K-Bus stabilize the voltage supply by absorbing the fed back energy and dumping the energy that the buffer capacitor cannot protect against i...

A new converter using a switched-inductor cell integrated with a switched-capacitor cell within a boost-like structure is proposed. The converter can achieve a very high dc conversion ratio. It can serve as the front-end dc-dc converter for a fuel cell in a UPS system. The inductors and capacitors are switched in a parallel-series configuration. The charging circuit of the inductors from the so...

This paper shows the topology of the hybrid grid-connected power system and the performances of the front-end three-phase power inverter. The renewable sources of the hybrid power system consist of a solid oxide fuel cell and a wind-turbine. This type of combination is the most efficient one. The proposed topology benefits of the one common DC-AC inverter which injects the generated power into ...

This paper presents a new control strategy to improve the performance of the PWM Boost Type Rectifier when operating under an unbalanced supply. An analytical solution for harmonic elimination under unbalanced input voltages is obtained resulting in a smooth (constant) power flow from ac to dc side in spite of the unbalanced voltage condition. Based on the analysis of the open loop configuratio...

Wind energy is one of the most available and exploitable forms of renewable energy. Variable speed PMSG based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) offers many advantages compared to the fixed speed squirrel cage induction generators such as improved stator output operation at better power factor, no maintenance cost for gear box (as it is directdriven) reduction in weight and losses, higher eff...

This paper proposes the use of bridge type fault current limiters (BFCLs) as a potential solution to reduce the impact of fault disturbance on voltage source converter-based high voltage DC (VSC-HVDC) systems. Since VSC-HVDC systems are vulnerable to faults, it is essential to enhance the fault ride-through (FRT) capability with auxiliary control devices like BFCLs. BFCL controllers have been d...

Multilevel converters have seen rising demands in the past decades, due to their increased power ratings, enhanced quality, low switching losses and reduced electromagnetic interference. Prominent among them are three-level (3L) neutral point clamped flying capacitor inverter topologies along with derivatives. Nevertheless, main drawback of these is requirement a front-end boost DC–DC converter...

Aiming to address the growth and integration of renewable sources electronic loads, different types dc-dc topologies with specific features have been proposed, going from medium frequency isolated Modular Multilevel Converter Switched Capacitor Hybrid topologies. In this paper, a bidirectional based converter is presented, featuring transformerless structure, automatic total arm voltages clampi...
