Recently, power electronic converters are considered as one of the enabling technologies
that can address many technical challenges in future power grids from the generation phase …

Overall performance of the voltage source converters (VSCs) has improved during the
recent years. Improvement of the VSCs along with the attractive features of the VSC-based …

In this paper a novel model of the packed U-cell (PUC) inverter is derived considering the
concept of single-phase multilevel converters. Based on the proposed model, a voltage …

One of the main limitations in using high voltage and medium voltage DC grids is the issues
related to the current-limiting devices and circuit breakers. These devices should be able to …

This paper introduces a variable interleaving technique for photovoltaic cascaded DC-DC
converters. A series rather than parallel connection of converters allows higher switch …

Increasing the operational frequency is the most common solution to achieve higher power
densities, since the weight and volume of the magnetic part, the bulkiest element in power …

This paper addresses the control of a Tubular Linear Switched Reluctance Generator
(TLSRG) with application in a point absorber device. A maximum power point tracking …

Three-phase four-leg neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter is more suitable in dealing with
all sort of the loads especially unbalanced/nonlinear due to harmonics issues. Most control …
