this paper presents a grid connected photovoltaic system, which acts as both power generator and active power filter (apf), based on flying capacitor multicell (fcm) converter. increase in the number of output voltage levels, natural self-balancing of flying capacitors and dc link voltage and lower power rating of components are the main futures of fcm converter compared with conventional multi...

A new fuzzy maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems is proposed. Fuzzy controller input parameters dI dP , ) dI dP ( D and variation of duty cycle ( DC D ) are used to generate the optimal MPPT converter duty cycle, such that solar panel maximum power is generated under different operating conditions. A photovoltaic system including a solar panel, a fuzzy MPP tracker and...

Harmonic pollution of the power supply system has risen significantly in recent years due primarily to an increase of non-linear loads connected to the utility through residential, commercial and industrial customers. Power supply voltages become distorted due to the high level of undesired harmonic current drawn from the utility. Additionally, drops in fundamental voltage are caused by the int...

Three-phase three-wire Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) with Photovoltaic (PV) array or battery operated DC-DC boost converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed DSTATCOM consists of a three-leg Voltage Source Converter (VSC) with a DC bus capacitor and it provides continuous reactive power compensation, source harmonic reduction and load compensation throughout the day. With the...

A conventional high power DC power supply systems consist of a three-phase diode rectifier followed by a high frequency converter to supply loads at regulated DC voltage. These rectifiers draw significant harmonic currents from the utility, resulting in poor input power factor. In this paper, a DC power supply based on dual-bridge matrix converter (DBMC) with reduced number of switches is p...

In an electrical Power systems, a load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of useful power transferred. Linear loads with low power factor (induction motor) can be corrected with a passive network of capacitors or inductors. The hysteresis current controller is used to track the line current command. Non-linear loads (rectifier) di...

Power quality standards (IEEE-519) require to limit the total harmonic distortion within satisfactory range caused by power electronic based devices. Our work deals with the design of hybrid active filter to reduce current perturbations produced by power electronics based devices. The Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Method (pq) is used to perform the identification of disturbing current...

In today’s era power quality is the main issue mainly for welding load which includes the problems like total harmonic distortion, voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage distortions etc. In this paper we will discuss about the Total Harmonic Distortions for the welding load by using the simple modular dc-dc converter, modular bridge dc-dc converter and by using the ZSource Converter using Dynami...
