The global electrical energy consumption is still rising and there is a steady demand to increase the power capacity. Deregulation of energy has lowered the investment in larger power plants, which means the need for new electrical power sources may be increased in the near future. In general, this paper discusses role of modern power electronics in small size wind energy and hybrid generating ...

This paper is concerned with transient dynamics and stability of an electric power system with dc transmission. Nowadays dc transmission systems are widely applied to conventional electric power systems. However, transient dynamics of ac/dc power systems, affected by active power which flows into dc transmissions, is not entirely understood. In this paper an unsymmetrical swing equation system ...

High Tc superconducting (HTS) cables and their application to develop a DC power transmission system with substantial advantages have been studied. Technical analysis of the HTS DC electrical power transmission system behaviours have been carried out with the HTS DC cable technology employed and the system models built. Index Terms -High Temperature Superconductor (HTS), HTS Cable, DC Transmiss...

This paper presents a soft-switching DC-DC boost converter, which can be utilized in renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic array, and wind turbine connections to infinite bus of a big power network, using grid connected inverters. In the proposed topology for the DC-DC boost converter, the main and the auxiliary power switches are turned on and turned off with zero voltage switching (ZV...

This paper investigates the integration of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) System into the standalone Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based on Variable Speed Wind turbine (VSWT) in DC Microgrid system. The primary aim of SMES system is to retain power balance by drawing power during high wind generation and to extricate it during low power generation. An effective c...
