This article presents an energy regulator based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The MPC is formulated to optimise the converter performance according weights defined in objective function that trades off additional features, such as current harmonic distortion, reactive power tracking and DC bus voltage oscillation. Differently from most approac...

This paper proposes a vector and linear control strategy for wind turbines connecting to DC collector grid. Two conversion schemes are considered the turbine, (i) an active scheme where dual rotor generator (DRG) is connected voltage source converter (VSC), (ii) passive DRG uncontrolled rectifier. The controller implemented on VSC turbine speed output power controlled via VSC, (WTG) rectified f...

Custom Power is the application of power electronics to improve the quality of power distribution for sensitive industrial plants. Industries reporting production stops due to voltage disturbances, like short interruptions and voltage dips, include paper mills, semiconductors facilities and other industries with fully automated production. Voltage dips are sudden drops in voltage, with duration...

This paper demonstrates the interoperability of an emerging alternate arm converter (AAC) with state-of-the-art modular multilevel (MMC) in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems based on a hybrid VSC-HVDC system. The also showcases parameter derivation HVDC system and its detailed control structure. study provides preliminary steps towards analysis AAC complex dc grid configurations. A set...

Renewable energy sources, which are becoming increasingly popular, often use a voltage source converter (VSC) for connection to the power system. Assessing effects of connecting such system is essential ensure proper operation and connected source. For this purpose, it necessary know range active reactive generation by converter. The authors indicate that interaction between affects its availab...

Wind power development is booming globally, and large scale onshore wind power is under development in China, the Americas and India. Compared with AC transmission, HVDC technology can due to lower losses be attractive if the distance from generation to consumption is long. VSC (Voltage Source Converter) HVDC is rapidly maturing as a technology, and offers some significant advantages compared t...

In this paper three leg Voltage source converter (VSC) based Hybrid Active Power filter (HAPF) is proposed for existing problems of harmonics, reactive power compensation, high total harmonic distortion (THD) and Power factor improvement for three phase non linear loads. In the system, a hybrid active power filters which is the combination of active filter and passive filter. The reference curr...
