This paper aims to develop the recently introduced Spilt-Source Inverter (SSI) topology to improve its boosting characteristics. New SSI topologies with high voltage gain are introduced in this paper. The proposed converters ...

A grid connected CSI requires a CL filter stage. In this work, the isolation transformer leakage inductance constitutes this filter inductance. This CL filter is lightly damped for efficiency constraints. Hence, it is ...

One of main challenges in harvesting power from a PV source is maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This is due to the nonlinear behaviour and characteristics of PV arrays. Conventional MPPT techniques usually utilize a ...

One of the main issues accompanied with the high penetration of PV distributed generation (DG) systems in low voltage (LV) networks is the overvoltage challenge. The amount of injected power to the grid is directly related ...

Conventionally, in order to reduce the ac components of the dc-link capacitors of the two-level Half-Bridge Voltage Source Inverter (HB-VSI), high dc-link capacitances are required. This necessitates the employment of ...

DC fault protection is one challenge impeding the development of multiterminal dc grids. The absence of manufacturing and operational standards has led to many point-to-point HVDC links built at different voltage levels, ...

Parallel connection of wind turbines (WTs) is beneficial in high-power applications. For successful operation of parallel WT-based energy conversion systems, a well-regulated voltage is needed at the collection point. Due ...

Transformer-less photovoltaic (PV) inverters are the major functional units of modern grid-connected PV energy production systems. In general, two power conversion stages are required when low-voltage unregulated photovoltaic ...

Three-phase current source inverter (CSI)-based induction motor (IM) drives are attractive in MV applications since they feature a simple inverter structure, a lower switching dv/dt, and a reliable short circuit protection. ...

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 ...
