High frequency IGCT operation for DC transformer

Gabriele Ulissi

In spite of the dominance of ac technology for the vast majority of power transmission and distributionsince the late 19th century, the past decades have seen an increase in use of dc electrical power. Inparticular, this has been the case both in high volt ...

Multiobjective Vector Modulation for Improved Control of NPC-Based Multi-Source Inverters in Hybrid Traction Systems

Andrea Cervone

The concept of a multi-source inverter (MSI) based on NPC topology was recently introduced for hybrid-electric powertrains to connect several dc sources to the traction load in a single conversion stage without magnetics. This work proposes a new modulatio ...

Hybrid Modular Multilevel Converter for Pumped Hydro Storage Applications

Miodrag Basic

Energy balance in a power system must be maintained at all times, regardless of the variations in generation and consumption. Large Pumped Hydro Storage Plants (PHSPs) are introduced to the power system to accumulate the excess of energy during the low dem ...

Power Shifts, Emigration, and Population Sorting

Michaël Aklin

We investigate the consequences of a peaceful shift of power from one social group to another. Theoretically, we show that an individual’s decision to stay put or migrate depends on the difference between the political preferences of groups and the change ...

Current Limiting in Overload Conditions of an LLC-Converter-Based DC Transformer

Drazen Dujic, Jakub Kucka

The dc transformers based on an LLC converter operated in open loop near resonant frequency have several crucial advantages compared to other topologies. These advantages are the stiff voltage ratio with a natural power flow, the dc grid isolation via medi ...

IGCT Based Solid State Resonant Conversion

Dragan Stamenkovic

Driven by the environmental changes, penetration of renewables and the need for more flexible power grid, DC is reemerging as a basis for future power networks. Already established in the area of HVDC for very long distance transmission, more and more atte ...
