Hysteresis current control method is vastly used in PWM inverters because of simplicity in performance, fast control response and good ability in limiting peak current. However, switching frequency in hysteresis current control method with fixed bandwidth has large variation during a cycle and therefore causes non-optimal current ripple generation in output current. One of basic problems in imp...

The power quality of a low voltage distributed network is vulnerable to the plunge of a large number of distributed power sources, which could be at serious risk due to high circulating current. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes an active power-magnitude and reactive power-frequency droop control scheme for distributed voltage source inverters without a communication line. ...

This paper deals with the problem of voltage security in microgrids. In general, voltage security is an issue for power systems, where the lack of reactive power is a concern. For microgrids a complexity is imposed, since frequency and voltage level deviations may take place by the operation of droop-controlled inverters. This paper incorporates the load margin calculation into a microgrid stru...

The concept of multilevel inverters introduced about 20 years ago entails performing power conversion in multiple voltage steps to obtain improved power quality, lower switching losses, better electromagnetic compatibility, and higher voltage capability. The benefits are especially clear for medium-voltage drives in industrial applications and are being considered for future naval ship propulsi...

As the deployment of distributed generation continues, an increasing number of DC/AC power inverters will be interfaced into the electric grid. Groupings of these power inverters, along with distributed storage and load, are referred to as microgrids. Microgrids offer the potential for unprecedented reliability and flexibility, but also pose new control challenges. Inverters in microgrids must ...

For more size reduction of the high temperature superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF), we introduce the design method of the meanderline CPW quarter-wavelength resonator BPF. The exact admittanceand susceptance-inverters are calculated by using the 2.5-dimensional electromagnetic field simulator. The prototype YBCO miniaturized BPF (center frequency =10GHz, n=3, band wi...

in this paper, two new cascaded inverters are proposed, by using the series connection of new submultilevel inverters. each of the proposed submultilevel inverters consists of three batteries and eight power switches. four algorithms are presented to determine the voltages of these batteries for each of the proposed structures. in this study the comparison between the proposed structures with c...

With ever-increasing concerns for the safety and convenience of the power supply, there is a fast growing interest in wireless power transfer (WPT) for industrial devices, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles (EVs). As the resonant circuit is one of the cores of both the near-field and far-field WPT systems, it is a pressing need for researchers to develop a high-efficiency high-frequenc...
