in recent years, there has been a fast growth in wind energy conversion system (wecs). there are two general types of wind turbines in wecs: fixed speed wind turbines and varying speed wind turbines.permanent magnet synchronous generator (pmsg) is one of the most attractive generators for the varying speed turbine wecs.in this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control the current source ...

This paper proposes a novel topology of multilevel current source inverter which is suitable to apply in low/medium voltage. The proposed topology is capable of producing desirable bidirectional output current levels. Furthermore, it can employ symmetrical DC current sources as well as asymmetrical ones which is a significant advantage. Asymmetrical mode makes it possible to generate a great nu...

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the current source inverter (CSI)-fed induction motor (IM) drives. It also reviews various control methodologies, selective harmonic elimination techniques and methods for reduction in switching losses in CSI fed IM drives. Authors strongly believe that this survey article shall be very much helpful to the researchers working in the field of CSI fed...

The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a commercially available, popular device to eliminate voltage sags and swells in the distribution lines. Its basic function is to inject the voltage difference (difference between the pre-sag and sag voltage) to the power line and maintains the pre-sag voltage condition in the load side. The efficiency of the DVR depends on the performance of the efficiency...

in this paper, a new circuit is proposed for step-up z-source inverter based on qzsi (quasi-z-source inverter). the proposed topology inherits all advantages of the conventional topology. the proposed topology in comparison with conventional topology reduces the st (shoot-through) duty cycle by over 25% at the same voltage boost factor. theoretical analysis of the proposed qzsi in the st and no...

This paper presents an online stator resistance estimator to achieve precise torque control of CSI fed PMSMs over a low speed operating region. A quick and precise control several researchers have proposed implementations combining the use of permanent magnet synchronous motor with the direct torque control (DTC) technique. The electromagnetic torque, stator flux and rotor position can be estim...

This paper analyses whether any differences in behaviour arise due to an induction motor being star or delta connected when supplied by a current source inverter. Two comparisons are considered. The first is that of a delta connected motor compared to a star connected motor of the same power and voltage ratings; the star connected motor in this case is then mathematically the delta connected mo...

Abstract: This paper presents a recent popular power inverter which is impedance source or Z-source inverter (ZSI) and the comparison and analysis of two conventional PWM techniques of Z-source inverter. Due to the impedance network it couples inverter main circuit to the power source thus providing special features that can overcome the limitations of traditional voltage source inverter (VSI) ...

In this paper, a series Z-source inverter based on switched inductors cell is proposed for the first time. This inverter is able to increase the voltage gain in comparison to the conventional Z–source inverters in additon to solve the ST (shoot-through) state’s problems. In this inverter, the value of voltage gain is increased by increasing the number of used diodes and inductors in the switche...
