this paper presents a new arc starter circuit that is usable in manual metal arc welding (mma) power supplies. the proposed circuit uses an auxiliary circuit and a series coupling transformer for adding high frequency spikes to output dc voltage during arc striking. the proposed circuit is usable in inverter based arc welding supplies and it could result in a decrease of weigh, volume and expen...

In this paper, a task-space controller for electrically driven robot manipulators is developed using a robust control algorithm. The controller is designed using voltage control strategy. Based on the nominal model of the robotic arm, the desired signals for motor currents are calculated and then the voltage control law is proposed based on the current errors and motor nominal electrical model....

although lcl filters are used widely in the grid connected inverters to reduce high-orderharmonics, such a system increases system order and therefore sustainable design of closed-loopcontroller system will be complicated. recently, the single-loop control strategy has beensuggested for l or lc filter based grid-connected inverters. however, the use of single-loopcontrol directly in lcl filter-...

this paper presents a grid connected photovoltaic system, which acts as both power generator and active power filter (apf), based on flying capacitor multicell (fcm) converter. increase in the number of output voltage levels, natural self-balancing of flying capacitors and dc link voltage and lower power rating of components are the main futures of fcm converter compared with conventional multi...

Abstract The voltage balance of the series diodes is premise to ensure stable and reliable operation high uncontrolled rectifier valve. When traditional RC RCD balancing methods are applied valves in far-reaching offshore wind farms, complex changeable operating environment poses a challenge anti-interference effect snubber circuit. In this paper, an active adaptive control strategy with strong...

This paper presents an improved grid voltage control strategy for wind farms with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) connected to distribution networks based on an analysis of the operation limits of DFIG systems. A modified reactive power limit calculation method in different operation states is proposed and a reactive power control strategy during grid voltage dips/rises is further discu...
