Maintenance and optimization of the TCV power supply

Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray

The TCV tokamak is powered by a flywheel generator to supply the magnetic coils and the auxiliary heating systems. The generator has just undergone its fourth major overhaul to make it ready for the next ten years, after more than thirty years of almost tr ...

Mitigation of Voltage and Frequency Excursions in Low-Inertia Microgrids

Drazen Dujic

Power systems proliferated by distributed generation sources are becoming increasingly prone to frequency and voltage disturbances. These problems are exacerbated in microgrids since they have fewer intrinsic disturbance-rejecting measures and features. To ...

Breakerless Protection for Voltage Source Converter-Based Marine DC Power Supply Systems

Drazen Dujic, Seongil Kim

DC power supply systems utilising voltage source converters offer several advantages compared with their counterparts in marine low-voltage DC power distribution networks. In case of a two-level voltage source converter fed by a synchronous generator which ...

Data-Driven LPV Controller Design for Islanded Microgrids

Alireza Karimi, Seyed Sohail Madani

This paper presents a data-driven multivariable Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controller design method. The synthesis process is based on frequency-domain data corresponding to different operating points of the plant. The performance and also stability co ...

Performance assessment of grid-forming and grid-following converter-interfaced battery energy storage systems on frequency regulation in low-inertia power grids

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Yihui Zuo, Antonio Zecchino, Zhao Yuan

Power systems with large shares of converter-interfaced renewables may be characterised by low grid inertia due to the lack of frequency containment provided by synchronous generators. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs), which can adjust their power ou ...

Design of an inverter for high-speed synchronous generators using SiC FETs

Existing inverter designs are not well-suited for use with high-speed generators due to the IGBTs used as switching elements, which are not fast enough. SiC FETs offer a lower switching time compared to IGBTs, which is key to working with high-frequency ma ...

Optimal Load Restoration in Active Distribution Networks Complying With Starting Transients of Induction Motors

Hossein Sekhavatmanesh

Large horsepower induction motors play a critical role as industrial drives in production facilities. The operational safety of distribution networks during the starting transients of these motor loads is a critical concern for the operators. In this paper ...

Data-Driven Distributed Reactive Power Sharing in Microgrids

Alireza Karimi, Seyed Sohail Madani

In this paper, reactive power sharing for Photovoltaic (PV) units in islanded microgrids has been formulated as a robust control design problem and is solved using convex optimization method. In addition to reactive power sharing, the disturbance rejection ...

A Dynamical System Approach for Adaptive Grasping, Navigation and Co-Manipulation with Humanoid Robots

Aude Billard, Mikhail Koptev, Salman Faraji, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

In this paper, we present an integrated approach that provides compliant control of an iCub humanoid robot and adaptive reaching, grasping, navigating and co-manipulating capabilities. We use state-dependent dynamical systems (DS) to (i) coordinate and dri ...

A New Approach to the On-line Estimation of the Loss of Generation Size in Power Systems

Mario Paolone, Rasoul Azizipanah-Abarghooee

Following an unintended disconnection of a synchronous generator (SG) from the power system, what is also known as a loss of generation (LoG), it is not trivial to precisely estimate the post-event power system's inertia and the LoG size. One of reasons fo ...
