Wind energy conversion is a very mature technology. Its applications are widely accepted all over the world. Consequently, a tendency to erect more wind turbines can be observed. Therefore, wind turbines may gradually start to replace the output of conventional generators in the future, specially during low load situations with much wind. The...

A neural controller implementing an energy feedback control law is proposed to improve the stability and dynamic characteristics of the series resonant converter (SRC). The cnert)' feedback control is introduced and analysed in discrete time domain. A novel formulation of the control law is suggested. The adaptive control law is learnt by an...

Different non-regulated symmetrical power supplies for audio power amplifier are presented in this work, where the conducted interference to the ac power grid, measured by a LISN, has been suppressed to the minimum. EMI measurements in different topologies have been compared in this paper. Also, several conventional EMI suppression components...

When designing an Active filter, using a current-controlled voltage source inverter, there are two main tasks : to generate an appropiate reference, for nulling harmonic current and reactive power, ant, on the other side, to generate a switching pattern that permits to follow the reference as close as it can be done. Predictive Middle Point...

This paper presents a method to optimally use an energy storage system (such as a battery) on a microgrid with load and photovoltaic generation. The purpose of the method is to employ the photovoltaic generation and energy storage systems to reduce the main grid bill, which includes an energy cost and a power peak cost. The method predicts the...

A new, improved, method for calculating the reference of a shunt active filter is presented. This method lays on a filter, which is able to extract the main component of a vector signal. This filter acts as a Phase-Locked Loop, capturing a particular frequency. The output of this filter is in phase with the frequency isolated, and has its...

This paper presents a new synchronization scheme for detecting multiple positive-/negative-sequence frequency harmonics in three-phase systems for grid-connected power converters. The proposed technique is called MAVF-FLL because it is based on the use of multiple adaptive vectorial filters (AVFs) working together inside a harmonic decoupling...

This work presents a survey of new space vector modulation algorithms for high power voltage source multilevel converters. These techniques provide the nearest switching vectors sequence to the reference vector and calculates the on-state durations of the respective switching state vectors without involving trigonometric functions, look-up...

This paper presents an effective modulation algorithm (EMA) for high power voltage source three-level converter. This approach drastically reduces the computational load maintained, being substituted by decision making. This method permits the on-line computation of the switching sequence and the on-state durations of the respective switching...
