In this paper, a new configuration for symmetrical and asymmetrical multilevel inverters is proposed. In asymmetric mode, different algorithms are suggested in order to determine the magnitudes of DC voltage sources. The merit of this topology to the conventional symmetric and asymmetric inverters is verified by the provided comparisons. This topology uses a lower number of power electronic dev...

Prominent worldwide environmental problems makes the development of new energy distributed generation technology has been developed. Direct access to the low-voltage distributed power distribution network makes the system affected to some degree, in the form of micro-grid integration of distributed power is a good solution, and the presence of a large number of micro-grid inverter, micro-networ...

In this paper a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is used for power quality improvement on transmission side for the voltage regulation, grid stabilization and efficient utilization. The DVR normally installed between the source voltage and critical or sensitive load. The vital role of DVR depends on the efficiency of the control technique involved in switching circuit of the inverter. The DVR is ...

The Sliding mode control theory is applied to a sinusoidal output voltage boost inverter with linear load. The boost inverter is intended to be used in UPS design, whenever an AC voltage larger than the DC link voltage is needed, with no need of a second power conversion stage. Operation, control strategy, simulation and experimental results are'included in this paper.

Increasing DC loads along with DC nature of distributed energy resources (DERs) raises interest to DC microgrids. Conventional droop/non-droop power-sharing in microgrids suffers from load dependent voltage deviation, slow transient response, and requires the parameters of the loads, system and DERs connection status. In this paper, a new nonlinear decentralized back-stepping control strategy f...

A novel control strategy is proposed in this paper for the rotor side converter (RSC) of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power generation systems. It is supposed to enhance the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of DFIGs during great-level grid voltage dips. The strategy consists of a proportional-resonant (PR) controller and auxiliary PR controllers. The auxiliary cont...

Impending voltage collapse can often be avoided by appropriate control of loads. However the traditional form of load control (shedding) is unpopular due to the resulting consumer disruption. Advances in communications and computer systems allow more selective load control though. Individual loads that are sacrificeable in the short-term can be switched with minimal consumer disruption. The pap...

To meet the challenge of large-scale renewable energy penetration and take full advantage of existing AC infrastructure, the bipolar DC distribution system is of interest. In this article, the system structure and characteristics of the bipolar DC distribution network are proposed. The three-level Neural Point Clamped Converter (NPC) is used in the proposed system to construct the bipolar DC sy...

In island mode, voltage source inverter (VSI) supports the frequency and of microgrid. After complex load is connected, VSI control performance degraded, output has deviation, negative sequence, waveform distortion other problems, which further deteriorate power quality Different from traditional strategy that only focus on a single problem, proposed in this paper can deal with these three prob...
