This paper deals with the assessment of the lightning performance of distribution lines, namely the estimation of the annual number of lightning-induced flashovers versus the critical flashover voltage of the line insulators. The procedure proposed by the ...
Six-phase a.c. motor drives are usually supplied from two-level six-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs), which are controlled using appropriate PWM techniques. Most of the existing work applies to the asymmetrical six-phase VSI, supplying an asymmetrical ...
This paper presents the modeling, detailed simulation, and test of an efficient medium-voltage adjustable-speed drive. The system consists of a three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter supplied by a 12-pulse rectifier. To achieve a motor-friendly supply, ...
Power Electronics is expected to become a major component in the field of the global electric power management, as it is already today within most of electric power applications like variable speed drives or other conventional user applications. From the e ...
The DC performances of three full- and five sub-size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors, measured in the SULTAN test facility, are compared. In general, the self-field effect was found to cause sudden take-offs at high currents. In most of the investigated c ...
This paper deals with the determination of large synchronous machine characteristic quantities using an extended 2D-finite element method and based on the knowledge of the geometry and of the physical properties of the electrical and magnetic circuits of t ...
We develop a channel model for errors originated from over-aggressive operation of a communication link. Such a situation arises in the context of on-chip self-calibrating communication, where a link controller has to determine adaptively the operating vol ...
Power Factor Corrected rectifiers are a new tendency in development of power supplies. In the last few years, a lot of R&D activities have led to a new category of products for one-phase applications. In this contribution, a new simplified topology is prop ...
Hybrid asymmetric multi-level inverters promise significant improvements for medium-voltage industrial drives. Floating sub inverters without feeding can only supply reactive power. An on-line non-linear model-predictive controller stabilizes their interme ...
The article presents a fully automated identification method for the determination of the sub-subtransient, subtransient and transient characteristic parameters of large synchronous machines. The software allows for an identification of the parameters base ...
