Advancements in power electronics and drives in interface with growing renewable energy resources

Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems Based on the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter

“…The design of the high-power converter is depicted in Table II. The parameters of the experimental system are also shown in that Table. It is assumed that a PMSG is connected to the converter input and that medium voltage IGBT devices are used in the M 3 C implementation (see [24], [25]), therefore each capacitor voltage is regulated to 2.4kV. For the simulation work the cluster inductances are designed to produce a maximum cluster current ripple of 10%.…”

Integrated Control Technique for Compliance of Solar Photovoltaic Installation Grid Codes

“…Field tests have been performed in a real PV installation using the voltage dip generator described in [7], as illustrated in Fig. 7.…”

A Control Strategy for Hybrid Autonomous Power System with a Battery Management Scheme

“…Further, the diesel generator is preferred to be operated above 40% of its nominal power to avoid wet stacking due to impartial burning of fuel [8]. The practice of integrating renewable energy sources to the autonomous diesel generator is becoming huge due to developments in power electronics technology [9,10]. The hybrid system is not extended to replace the diesel generator totally, but to minimize the usage of diesel fuel and to use available renewable sources.…”
