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 ...
This article presents the modeling, simulation, and practical application of a double-fed asynchronous motor-generator for pumped-storage plants equipped with a three-level VSI cascade. The problem of DC unbalance control is studied in this particular appl ...
An unbalanced DC-link voltage regulation strategy is proposed for a three-level voltage source inverter used in the rotor cascade of a double-fed asynchronous motor-generator. The major problem in determining the presence of the unbalanced component is inv ...
This paper deals with a fixed-frequency variable-speed motor/generator with 3-level VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) cascade. The 3-level VSI is applied to a DASM (Doubly-fed ASynchronous Machine) for large pump storage plants. The extension to 3 levels is th ...
