Nowadays, multilevel VSIs (Voltage Source Inverter) begin to be widely used in middle and high power installations such as variable speed drives, FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) and windformers for example. In these systems, 2 VSIs are put back to ...
Abstract – The current source thyristor inverter is still today a suitable choice for supplying high power adjustable speed drives for pumps or compressors. This paper presents a 12-pulse LCI (load commutated inverter) synchronous drive for a 20 MW compres ...
A configurable converter topology is presented as front-end converter for a locomotive that can be operated as well on a high voltage ac-system as on a medium voltage dc-system. The configurable converter is realized on the base of a multilevel chain, wher ...
The use of electrical equipment in rail and ship transportation is bound to consideration on mass and size, particularly because of conventional low frequency transformers. On this paper, an optimized multilevel converter with medium frequency transformer ...
Three 30 kV/10 mA solid state pulsed modulators have been delivered to the CRPP in Lausanne, by the company JEMA. Each modulator supplies the anode grid of a triode type gyrotron, used for heating purpose at the third harmonic in the TCV Tokamak. The main ...
This thesis aims at developing wireless systems with a strong emphasis on low-power consumption and low-voltage operation. The main technical objective is the development of a single cells battery operated fully integrated CMOS RF transceiver that fulfills ...
A DC-DC converter is proposed with new modulation schemes for a voltage-controlled output. The DC-DC converter is designed for a reversible current in order to feed DC current motors or four quadrant converters, which need a galvanic separation from a DC s ...
In the technology sector of power electronics and control, the multilevel converter technology is still a rather new research area, but the application possibilities in the field of power drives and energy will demand more solutions with this promising tec ...
Fuel Cells are destined to supply electric energy beginning from primary resources. A static DC-AC converter is necessarily inserted between the fuel cells and the distribution network. This paper describes a new P.W.M. strategy for a current source invert ...
Nonlinear devices, such as power electronics converters, inject harmonic currents in the AC system and increase overall reactive power demanded by the equivalent load. Also, the number of sensitive loads that require ideal sinusoidal supply voltages for th ...
