The three-phase four-leg inverter can produce balanced voltages even with unbalanced loads, yet its controller design is quite complicated. Based on the analysis on time domain equations, a decoupled sequence control strategy for the three-phase four-leg inverter in a low-voltage network is proposed. A negative sequence controller and a zero sequence controller are added to the control strategy...

Voltage sag/swell is one of the most frequently power quality problems which affects the power systems with sensitive loads. The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is capable of mitigating the effect of voltage sag/swell at the load or point of common coupling (PCC). In this paper, a new control of UPQC is proposed based on combining the sag detection and voltage injection established on ...

We propose an elastic pipeline architecture that can apply dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) to a dedicated hardware, and implement the elastic pipeline to a portable H.264/AVC decoder LSI with embedded frame buffer SRAM. A supply voltage and operating frequency are decreased by a feedback-type voltage/frequency control algorithm. In a portable H.264/AVC decoder, embedded SARM can be utilized as fr...

Computational cost of metaheuristic based optimum design algorithms grows excessively with structure size. This results in computational inefficiency of modern metaheuristic algorithms in tackling optimum design problems of large scale structural systems. This paper attempts to provide a computationally efficient optimization tool for optimum design of large scale steel frame structures to AISC...

High-voltage flexible power systems, with their intrinsic characteristics, play an increasingly important role in electronic systems. Synchronization between the inverter and grid needs to be achieved by a phase-locked loop (PLL), performance of which determines quality transmission. This paper proposes PLL adapted extremely harsh conditions. Firstly, traditional synchronous reference frame dua...

This paper proposes a three-phase AC chopper system for the interconnection of various distributed generation (DG) farms or main utilities to enhance the active and reactive power flow control. The absence of large energy storage component in direct AC-AC converter makes the system footprint small and reliable. As the interface for different AC sources, the presented converter can be configured...

The three-phase Shunt hybrid APF topology for harmonic mitigation in low and medium voltage power distribution systems consists of a VSI based three phase shunt active filter (SAF) and tuned passive filters (TPF) connected in parallel with the load. This chapter discusses the modelling of shunt active filter and design of filter interfacing inductor, DC bus capacitor, tuned passive filters. It ...

This paper presents a control method, which reduces the pulsating torque and DC voltage problems of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine system. To reduce the torque and power ripple, a current control scheme consisting of a proportional integral (PI) controller is presented in a positive synchronously rotating reference frame, which is capable of providing precise current...
