This paper highlights some effects of an asymmetrical design on three phase multilevel inverters from a supply network point of view. The investigated topology is based on a series connection of single phase inverters (partial cell) in each phase. Each par ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The present paper deals with a new approach for the study of the steady - state and transient behaviour of three- phase transformers. This approach based on magnetic equivalent circuit diagrams, takes into account the nonlinear B-H curve as well as zero-se ...
A Power-electronic interface for supercapacitive-storage based substation in DC-transportation networks is proposed, which allows to feed as a current-source in any voltage conditions of the line. The system has been designed as a compensation-substation t ...
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 ...
A supercapacitivite-storage based substation or the compensation of resistive voltage-drops in transportation networks is proposed. It allows to feed as a current-source in any voltage conditions of the line. The system has been desgned as a compensation-s ...
The Laboratory of Electrical Machines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Lausanne) has developed a software (TLSim) for the simulation of electrical urban transportation systems. This program can simulate the behaviour of the power supply networ ...
This paper deals with cascade multilevel inverters. It focuses on asymmetrical topologies where the cell input voltages are of different values. These hybrid topologies may be advantageous for several applications. Nevertheless, the need of DC-DC converter ...
