Modulation strategies for multilevel inverters have typically focused on synthesizing a desired set of three phase sinusoidal voltage waveforms using a fixed number of dc voltage levels. This results in the average current injection and hence the net power drawn from the multiple dc bus terminals to be unmatched and time varying. Subsequently, the dc-bus voltages are unregulated, requiring corr...

DC bus capacitors of Medium Voltage Cascaded STATCOM are independent. DC side voltage balance control method is the key influencing factor of current control. The imbalance of DC bus voltage increases harmonic current and affects the safety of device. In this paper, the unbalance mechanism of DC side capacitor voltage is analyzed. Based on the unipolar dual frequency and carrier phase-shifted S...

The Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds is carrying out research about the reliability benefits from improved bus infrastructure. The study includes both demand and supply modelling, and it is hoped that the final stage of the project will include an economic analysis of the effects on reliability of different bus infrastructure improvement scenarios. Of the various measu...

-A new control method for single-phase shunt active power filter (APF) is proposed. It integrates the DC bus voltage control and active power filter command current generation, according to the periodicity of source current and energy balance concept. The instantaneous harmonic compensation and linear DC bus voltage control are achieved, without complicated and involved control logic, by using ...

In this paper, we propose a power effective bus encoding scheme which can minimize crosstalk problems as well as bus transitions effectively. In current submicron technology, minimizing propagation delay and power consumption on buses is one of the most important design objectives in the field of System-on-Chip (SoC) design. Crosstalk between adjacent wires on bus may create significant propaga...

DC-BUS based power distribution systems with battery backup have been widely used in aerospace and telecommunication applications, where the bus voltage is usually determined by the battery. In these systems, there are many loads that need different and low operating voltages. Since the bus voltage is usually much higher than the load voltage and varies in a wide range with the stage of charge ...
