Active and Reactive Power Management of Wind Farm Based on a Six Leg Tow Stage Matrix Converter Controlled by a Predictive Direct Power Controller

In this paper we propose a new configuration of the wind farm connecting with an electrical grid. The proposed Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) is based on a two stages six-leg matrix converter using to drive a two Doubly Fed Induction Machines operating at different wind speeds. Each Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is controlled through the rotor currents using the Finite Set Model P...

Rohuma, Wesam and Zanchetta, Pericle and Wheeler, Patrick and Empringham, Lee (2015) A four-legs matrix converter ground power unit with repetitive voltage

In this paper a four-legs matrix converter is proposed as the power conversion core for Aircraft Ground Power Unit (GPU) applications. This structure allows easy management of unbalanced and non-linear loads with minimal disruption of the power supply operation. A hybrid repetitive-traditional control system is proposed to regulate the output voltage of the GPU. This solution reduces the steady...

A Comparative Study on Predictive and ISVM Direct Torque Control Methods for a Doubly Fed Induction Machine Fed by an Indirect Matrix Converter

This paper presents a comparative study on the Predictive Direct Torque Control method and the Indirect Space Vector Modulation Direct Torque Control method for a Doubly-Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) which its rotor is fed by an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC). In Conventional DTC technique, good transient and steady-state performances are achieved but it presents a non constant switching fr...

Repetitive Control for a Four Leg Matrix Converter

The technology of direct AC/AC power conversion (Matrix converters) is gaining increasing interest in the scientific community, particularly for aerospace applications. In this paper a repetitive control system is proposed to regulate the output voltage of a four-leg matrix converter for a power supply application. The target application is a Ground Power Supply unit (GPU) for aircraft servicin...
