This paper analyses the influence of the prescribed DC-link voltage on the filtering efficiency, in terms of current harmonic distortion after compensation, in a three-phase three-wire shunt active power line conditioner. The AC voltage controller as nonlinear load and two configurations of the coupling filter are taken into consideration. It is pointed out that, for each rms current to be comp...

This paper presents an alternate quasi-resonant dc link (QRDCL) circuit for soft switched inverters which does not require paralleling of a charged capacitor with another charged capacitor or a voltage source. The circuit momentarily pulls down the DC link voltage to zero as commandled by the control circuit to facilitate zero voltage switching (ZVS) of inverter devices. Operation of this circu...

Abstract : In this paper, a novel on-line capacitance estimation of dc link capacitor using input current injection is proposed for the ac/dc PWM converters. At no load, a controlled input current at a lower frequency than the line frequency is injected into the input side, which causes the dc voltage ripples at the output side. With the ac voltage and current ripple components on the dc side e...

This paper presents the implementation of Single Phase 7 level Multilevel DC link (MLDCL) Inverter with Half Bridge Cell topology. For N level inverter, (N-1)/2 half bridge cells are required with the same number of voltage sources. In this inverter topology, 3 Half Bridge Cells are used along with 3 voltage sources, each have 100V DC. These half bridges are connected in series to form a Multil...

A dual two-level inverter fed open-end winding induction motor drive with a single DCpower supply is proposed. The proposed scheme produces voltage space vector locations identical to those of a conventional three-level inverter. In the conventional neutral-clamped three-level inverter, the series-connected DC link capacitors carry the load current, resulting in a fluctuating neutral point. Als...

The exhaustion of fossil fuel and the greenhouse gas emission are one of the most significant energy and environmental issues, respectively. Photovoltaic (PV) generators and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) have been significantly increased for recent years. The BESSs are mainly used for smoothing active power fluctuation of the PV. In this paper, PV‒BESSs integration of two DC/DC convert...

This paper proposes a multi-stage power generation system suitable for renewable energy sources, which is composed of a DC-DC power converter and a three-phase inverter. The DC-DC power converter is a boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The DC-DC converter has two switches operates like a continuous conduction mode. The input current of DC-DC...

Inverters used as the interface for a distributed generator in a three-phase four-wire system sometimes operate with a large neutral current because of unbalanced loads and singlephase (possibly nonlinear) loads. Voltage balance within the dc-link of the inverter is important for proper operation of the inverter, and the neutral current is a significant disturbance to this. It is preferable to ...

With the integration of renewable energy sources into power grid, a number electronic converters need to be connected together in parallel. Due this interconnection among with common DC bus, equivalent impedance network, i.e., network (DCNI) these parallel converters, may vary and can cause oscillations link voltage (DCLV). In literature, models grid-tied (GCs) based on AC side are well reporte...

This paper proposes an input-series-output-parallel connected ZVS full bridge converter with interleaved control for photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PV PCS). The input-series connection enables a fully modular power-system architecture, where low voltage and standard power modules can be connected in any combination at the input and/or at the output, to realize any given specifications...
