A Novel Single-phase Inverter with Distribution Static Compensator Capability for Wind Applications

A Novel Stand-Alone Single-Phase Induction Generator Using a Three-Phase Machine and a Single-Phase PWM Inverter

A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one...

A Novel Modulated Power Filter Compensator for Distribution Networks with Distributed Wind Energy

During the last two decades, renewable wind energy has become increasingly popular as a consequence of strong ecological concerns and appealing advantages with regard to economical energy solutions in remote communities. Furthermore, with very large wind farms emerging, the dispersed renewable wind energy is required to be fully connected to the electrical distribution networks. However, the in...

Static Var Compensator ( SVC ) for Offshore Applications

Dynamic Stabilization of Wind Farms Deploying Static Synchronous Series Compensator

Encountering series-compensated transmission lines, sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) may strike the power system by jeopardizing its stability and mechanical facilities. This paper aims to verify the capability of static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) in mitigating the mechanical and electrical oscillations such as SSR in wind farm integrations. A wind turbine with a self–excited inductio...

Grid Integration of a Single-Source Switched-Capacitor Multilevel Inverter with Boosting Capability

This paper investigates the connection of a single-phase multilevel inverter structure to an existing power grid. The applied voltage source inverter is able to generate a near sinusoidal voltage waveform with an amplitude six times the input voltage by using a single DC input power supply. A proportional-resonant (PR) controller regulates the injected current into the grid. While the EPLL is u...
