This work is part of the innovative "Active Generator" (AG) project. AG is a concept that suggests a new arrangement of the turbine-generator line of a high power utility (a few hundred of MW) in order to de-synchronize the rotation speed of the turbine-ge ...
The drawbacks of conventional Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) are described in terms of short-circuits. The configuration of MMC-transformer-MMC proves to handle short-circuits at the input and output without the need for additional DC or AC circuit br ...
A major change in the electrical transmission and distribution system is taking place in Europe at the moment. The shift from a centralised energy production to a distributed generation profoundly changes the behaviour of the grid. Environmental or social ...
The switching of medium voltage electrical motors is typically realized by means of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) essentially in view of their elevated number of switching cycles. As known, switching of VCBs generates important transient recovery voltages ...
Several works suggest the imminent appearance of bidirectional active devices. The promised performances go in the direction of a reverse recovery effects reduction and efficiency improvement. Our purpose is the study of an active management for switches t ...
In recent years the use of solid state frequency converters is rapidly increasing in the industrial and power plants where electric machines are installed, since it allows variable speed operations for the electric system, thus becoming a key factor which ...
This paper presents the operation principle and the properties of a single-phase DC-AC converter with medium frequency transformer and soft commutation. The influence of the non-dissipative snubber capacitor and the transformer parasitic components for ZVS ...
This paper presents a new hybrid circuit breaker topology based on the use of serial and parallel semiconductors that allows to increase the supply voltage and default current with no arc, and to benefit from a current limitation function. A concrete marin ...
In the last years, static power converters have become widely used in various applications. They can be found in domestic applications, railways, urban and ship transport, and even in several industrial systems. Some of these applications require a high or ...
