KHAN, MOHAMMAD SAMEER. Analysis of Flyback-PV Inverter to Enable Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) Operation During Grid Fault. (Under the direction of Dr. Subhashish Bhattacharya). Flyback based PV micro-inverter is a very popular low-cost solution for integrating the photovoltaic (PV) module to an AC grid. As the penetration level of these inverters in the grid is increasing, it may cause probl...

The world is interested in applying grid codes to increase the reliability of power systems through a micro-grid (MG). In common practice, MG comprises wind farm, and/or photovoltaic (PV) arrays that are integrated with diesel generators and energy storage devices. Fault ride-through (FRT) capability an important requirement codes. FRT means still connected during numerous disturbances such as ...

More than one hundred countries are using wind energy due to their easy implementation, cheap energy, and high energy efficiency. Implementation of FACTS devices in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been dramatically improved due to cooperative and accurate performance of FACTS devices. However, dealing with wind turbine faults promptly is crucial. Short-term and long-term faults may ha...
