Voltage and current source inverter are widely used in electrical motor drives. In this drives, DC voltage (or current) are usually provided from phase control or line commutation rectifiers. Because of disadvantage & limitation of this converter, some new topologies are presented in advanced drive such as PWM rectifier. Thanks to well known capabilities of PWM rectifier, classical converter’s ...

(Abstract) This dissertation aims to present a detailed analysis of the grid voltage disturbance in frequency domain for the current control design in the grid-tie inverter applications and to propose current control techniques in order to minimize its impact and maximize feasibility of the power conditioning system in distributed generations. Because the grid voltage is constantly changing, th...
