A new phase-controlled series resonant dddc converter is described, analyzed, and experimentally verified. The circuit comprises a phase-controlled inverter and a Class D current-driven rectifier. The phase-controlled inverter consists of two switching legs, two resonant inductors, and a single resonant capacitor connected in series with an ac load. The phase shift between the voltages that dri...

A metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor (MFS) structure was used as a nonlinear capacitor in a series resonance circuit. The following materials were used as components of the MFS structure: aluminium as the metal electrode, Bi4Ti3O12 film as the ferroelectric, and p-type silicon as the semiconductor. The system was driven by a single frequency at suitably chosen amplitudes. Besides the sequences o...

This paper discusses the dynamic performance and the modeling of a DSTATCOM with Capacitor Bank (CB) and Ultra Capacitor Energy Storage (UCES) considering their equivalent series resistance for improving the operation of power quality in power distribution system. The proposed integrated DSTATCOM system is studied for riding through voltage sags and dynamically controlling active power independ...

The main aim of this project is ,this topology enables UPQC to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability. Three-phase, four-wire unified Power Quality (UPQC) to improve power quality. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The realization of shunt APF is carried out using a t...

Various basic, efficient and cheap techniques are used for the purpose of life forecast and failure detection of aluminum electrolytic capacitors which are utilized as a part of many power electronic converters. The main idea of these techniques is to calculate the values of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Capacitance (C). Observing the ESR values, valuation of changes in voltage and cur...

Electrolytic capacitors are extensively used in filtering and power decoupling in power electronic converters. Low cost and high energy density of these capacitors make them popular. However, these capacitors degrade with age due to heating and evaporation of electrolyte. This process may take about 2 to 7 years depending on the application, ambient conditions and capacitor construction. This p...

The characteristics of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) based on six-pulse Voltage Source Converter (VSC), which is inserted in series into a three phase inductive system, are analyzed and calculated in detail in its inductive and capacitive operation modes, including the AC, DC current and DC capacitor voltage in one period. And the expressions for them are derived in order to asse...

In this paper a novel method for finding the fault zone on a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) incorporated transmission line is presented. The method makes use of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), used in the classification mode to distinguish between the zones, before or after the TCSC. The use of Discrete Wavelet Transform is made to prepare the features which would be given as th...
