Smart grid self-healing: Functions, applications, and developments
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Although the power system grid growth pace was slow, the load demand was not. Yet, there are some challenges that impeding the power grid to cope with the load pace, namely: renewable energy integration; energy efficiency; ...
A switched PV approach for extracted maximum power enhancement of PV arrays during partial shading
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper proposes a switched photovoltaic (PV) approach to enhance the extracted maximum power from a PV array during partial shading conditions. The proposed system is simple and cost effective. However, it may provide ...
Inductive power transfer for Railway applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Inductive power transfer (IPT) is used to transfer the power over relatively large air gap using the resonant phenomena. The use of IPT in the Railway transportations will enhance the system performance in terms of reducing ...
Generalized power transmission control of VSC-based multi-terminal HVDC systems for offshore wind farms integration
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a generalized power transmission control method is developed for voltage source converter (VSC)-based multi-terminal HVDC systems. The droop characteristics of the multi-terminal HVDC system are used to ...

, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Recently, reduced switch-count converters have garnered exceptional attention in power electronic systems due to the diversified advantages such as low cost, low weight and volume, and high reliability offered by them. In ...
A nine-arm modular multilevel converter (9A-MMC) for six-phase medium voltage motor drives
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Dual three-phase (asymmetrical six-phase) induction motors have received significant attention in high power medium voltage drive applications. Typically, two three-phase voltage source converters are needed to feed such ...
A grid-connected HVDC shunt tap based on series-input parallel-output DC-AC multi-module 2-level voltage source converters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Tapping-off a small amount of power from an HVDC transmission line to a three-phase local grid can be achieved by using shunt or series HVDC taps. This paper proposes a new grid-connected HVDC shunt tap. The proposed tap ...
