A conventional high power DC power supply systems consist of a three-phase diode rectifier followed by a high frequency converter to supply loads at regulated DC voltage. These rectifiers draw significant harmonic currents from the utility, resulting in poor input power factor. In this paper, a DC power supply based on dual-bridge matrix converter (DBMC) with reduced number of switches is p...

This paper presents the design and analysis of a parallel connected inverter configuration of. The configuration consists of parallel connected three-phase dc/ac inverter. Series resistors added to the inverter output to maintain same current in each inverter of the two parallel inverters, and to reduce the circulating current in the parallel inverters to the minimum. High frequency third harmo...

The aim of this paper is to improve the reactive power compensation and active filtering capability of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The proposed algorithm is applied to a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) with a stator directly connected to the grid and a rotor connected to the grid through a back-to-back AC-DC-AC PWM converter. The control strategy of the Rotor Side Converter (R...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of 8/6 switched reluctance motor (SRM) when excited with sinusoidal voltage.

Wind energy is an important renewable source which is used for power generation for a stand-alone as well as grid connected applications. In many remote areas, loads are usually connected away from the grid. In such cases, isolated wind energy systems can be considered as an effective way to provide continuous power to electrical loads. The power conversion unit features a windturbine-driven PM...

The static and dynamic characteristics of buck-type three-phase pulse-width-modulation (PWM) rectifier are fully analyzed based on the dc and ac circuit models developed by the circuit DQ transformation. Various static converter characteristics such as gain, real and reactive power, power factor, and unity power factor conditions are completely analyzed. Transition characteristics are also anal...
