A Multilevel Converter-Based Universal Power Conditioner
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the development of a control scheme for a multilevel diode-clamped converter connected in a series–parallel fashion to the electrical system such that it can compensate for deviations in utility voltage (sag, surge, and unbalance) and act as a harmonic and/or reactive current source for a load. New carrier-based multilevel pulsewidth modulation techniques are identified to maximize switch utilization of the two back-to-back diode-clamped inverters that constitute the universal power conditioner. An experimental verification for a six-level power conditioner is given.

متن کاملA Direct Power Feeding System for AC Railway Networks Using Modular Multilevel Converter
Abstract Traditional railway power supply systems impose substantial power quality problems (PQ) on the utility network, such as unbalance, harmonics and a large amount of reactive power. This paper proposes a topology based on three-phase to single-phase modular multilevel converters (MMC) to obviate these problems. The MMC based traction substations (TSS) are connected directly to the utili...
متن کاملPower Flow Control and Power Quality Improvement of Wind Energy Conversion System Using Multi-Level Converter and Universal Custom Power Conditioner
In this paper, the Renewable energy sources, which have been expected to be a promising alternative energy source, can bring new challenges when it is connected to the power grid. However, the generated power from wind energy source is always fluctuating due to environmental condition. In the same way wind power injection into the electrical grid affects the power quality due to the fluctuation...
