This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. In this pap...

Custom power is a technology driven product and service solution which embraces a family devices such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Distributed Shunt Compensator (DSTATCOM), Solid State Breaker (SSB) etc which will provide power quality functions at distribution voltages. The rapid response of these devices enables them to operate in real time, providing continuous and dynamic control of t...

This paper presents a Model Predictive Direct Power Control (MPDPC) strategy for a gridconnected inverter used in a photovoltaic system, as found in many distributed generating installations. The controller uses a system model to predict the system behavior at each sampling instant. Using a cost function, the voltage vector with least power ripple is generated. The resultant voltage vector is a...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Direct Power (DPC) are widely used in Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) applications. However, the context of DPC-based MPC for DFIG, there has been a lack literature focusing on design parameters. In this way, article introduces novel technique designing weighing matrices using Fake Algebraic Riccati Equation (FARE). As FARE is associated with infinite re...

Model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) strategy offers numerous benefits over the traditional strategies in active filters (APF). However, real-time execution duration (RTED) reduction of model multilevel inverters is a big challenge. In this paper, an improved low-computation for three-level four-leg APF (TL-FL-APF) presented. First, based on generalized instantaneous reactive theory, n...
