The paper describes the design of optimized PCB air-core toroids for high frequency DC-DC converters with strict requirements in terms of volume and noise. The effect of several design parameters on the overall inductor volume, on DC and AC winding resista ...
This paper deals with the calculation of lightning-induced overvoltages on medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution networks taking into account the presence of MV-LV distribution transformers and, in particular, the surge transfer through the ...
In this paper a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system is proposed, based on using three level three phase (3L3P) converters, coupled through a specific transformer connection in order to benefit from natural and selective harmonic cancella ...
Nowadays medium voltage conversion systems, like traction and energy distribution systems, aim to increase power density. Volume, weight and material reduction are gaining the market today. Due to the development of new high power semiconductor devices a n ...
Variable speed pump-turbine units have become nowadays an interesting way to increase stability of electrical power networks due to their high level of operating flexibility. Different advantages offered by variable speed pump-turbine units for both pumpin ...
The TAE antenna system on JET is used to drive intermediate and high n Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) into the plasma so as to study their properties and estimate their stability by measuring their damping rates as a function of the various plasma parameters. In ...
The power system has been used for communication purposes for many decades, although it was mainly the power utility companies that used low bit rates for control and monitoring purposes. In the last ten years, however, the deregulation of the power and te ...
Medium-voltage conversion systems, such as traction and grid-connected converters, are continuously evolving toward higher power densities. Consequently, volume, weight, and material reductions are becoming major design issues, which lead the research focu ...
In the frame of the European project UNIFLEX-PM, two AC/AC converter topologies hove been studied and implemented. Both converters, rated for 25 kVA, are isolated by a medium-frequency power transformer. The first topology is based on a dual active bridge ...
This contribution presents control methods for the regulation of the voltage and the frequency on AC minigrids, fed by voltage source inverters (VSI). In order to avoid a complex communication network for the synchronization of the various VSI on a minigri ...
