Modular High-Power Shunt-Interleaved Drive System: A Realization up to 35 MW for Oil & Gas Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes experimental results of a mediumvoltage, modular, 35 MW drive for Oil & Gas applications realized by interconnecting voltage-source three-level converters equally sharing the motor current. Drives rated for tens of Megawatts are increasingly needed as torque helpers for gas turbines in the Oil & Gas industry and one envisions that they will replace them completely in the future. These drives must be very reliable, often capable of reversible power flow and high power quality when connected to weak grids in remote areas. The pronounced torsional eigenmodes of large compressors and gas turbines demand for very low torque harmonic content. Keywords—multilevel converter; neutral-point clamped converter; modular converter; interleaving; synchronous machine drive; medium-voltage drive; active rectifier

This work proposes a high step-up interleaved dc/dc topology utilizing a VM (voltage multiplier) cell suitable for PV applications. The VM cells D/C (Diode/Cap.) are cascaded among the phases to approach a high voltage gain. Besides, the voltage converting ratio of the presented structure can be improved by extending the VM cells and it also leads to drop in the normalized voltage stress throug...
متن کاملA New Ultra-Wideband Low Noise Amplifier With Continuous Gain Control
This paper presents a new variable gain low noise amplifier (VG-LNA) for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed VG-LNA uses a common-source (CS) with a shunt-shunt active feedback as an input stage to realize input matching and partial noise cancelling. An output stage consists of a gain-boosted CS cascode and a gain control circuit that moves the high resonant frequency to higher freq...
