Multi-module Bi-directional Buck-Boost Inverter-based HVDC back-to-back transmission system
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Offshore wind energy is now seen as a key contributor to the renewable energy future. HVDC technology is among the chief technologies enabling widespread use of offshore wind. This paper proposes a new configuration, namely, ...
A novel open-stator-winding DFIM flywheel architecture for renewable energy applications
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Energy storage is becoming a basic component of modern renewable power plants, especially wind farms. For several considerations, local wind turbine (WT) energy storage is preferred. Flywheel energy storage is among the ...
AC solid state circuit breakers for fault current limitation in distributed generation
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The solid state circuit breaker (SSCB) is a protective device used in power systems to provide protection against short circuit. The objective of this paper is to study and implement a simplified prototype of SSCB as a ...

Fault current contribution scenarios for grid-connected voltage source inverter-based distributed generation with an LCL filter
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Inverter-based distributed generation (IBDG) is characterized by its negligible fault current contribution compared with synchronous generators due to its inherent non-overload capabilities. Thus, IBDG hardly affects the ...
