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 ...
Brushless doubly fed induction machine as a variable frequency transformer
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Variable frequency transformer (VFT) has been recently used as an alternative to HVDC to control power flow between asynchronous networks. VFT consumes less reactive power than a back-to-back HVDC system, provides faster ...
DC bus control of an advanced flywheel energy storage kinetic traction system for electrified railway industry
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The evolution of public transportation exhibits high potential nowadays due to the consistent demand of clean transportation with low pollution rates. Therefore electrified railway systems become viable with their ...
Open loop V/f control of multiphase induction machine under open-circuit phase faults
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
One of the main advantages of multiphase induction machines is their higher fault-tolerant capability. Under phase(s) loss, the machine currents can be optimally controlled to satisfy certain optimization criteria. In this ...
A modified modulation scheme for capacitor voltage control of renewable energy-fed grid-connected Z-Source Inverters
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
An important issue in grid connection applications is boosting the limited output voltage of the renewable energy sources. Two-stage converters are most commonly employed for successful grid connection and optimum power ...
Single sensor three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor drive based on Luenberger style-observers
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a technique to estimate phase currents and rotor position in a vector-controlled PMSM drive using only dc-link current measurement. Three cascaded Luenberger style observers were used to perform this ...
A single-stage three-phase DC/AC inverter based on Cuk converter for PV application
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new three-phase dc-ac inverter based on the basic Cuk converter. The main feature of the proposed topology is the fact that the energy storage elements as inductors and capacitors values can be reduced ...
Magnetic gearbox with an electric power output port and fixed speed ratio for wind energy applications
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Mechanical gearboxes are typically employed with doubly-fed induction generator-based wind turbines. The main drawback of this solution is the gearbox's reliability and maintenance. Using magnetic gearbox in conjunction ...
A coaxial magnetic gearbox with magnetic levitation capabilities
(
IEEEIEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Magnetic gearboxes (MGBs) are now a powerful alternative to their conventional mechanical counterparts in terms of reduced maintenance requirements, improved reliability, tolerance to mechanical inaccuracies, and inherent ...
Switched mode power supplies for charge-up, discharge and balancing dc-link capacitors of diode-clamped five-level inverter
(
IET
, 2010 , Article)
Inductor switch mode power supplies (SMPS) operated in a discontinuous inductor current mode are used to balance the dc-link capacitor voltages of a diode-clamped five-level inverter. The SMPS concept is extended to charge ...
