Multilevel Voltage-Source Converters (VSC) based on modular structures are envisioned as a prominent alternative for grid and industry applications. Foremost among these are the Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) and the Modular ...

This study focuses on a comparison between different maximum power extraction controls for a small wind turbine application. In this case, a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous ...

The operation of offshore wind power plants with respect to power quality and grid code compliance must be verified for different conditions in the design phase using harmonic analysis methods. This paper addresses this ...

Nowadays, the emergence of electrically supplied actuators and energy storage systems is leading the aeronautic industry to develop aircrafts with more electrical power installed. Therefore, different Power-Electronic ...

Existen dos topologías de aerogeneradores según el eje de giro: eje horizontal, "Horizontal Axis Wind turbines" (HAWT) y de eje vertical, "Vertical Axis Wind Turbines" (VAWT) [2]. Las turbinas HAWT son empleadas para ...

Flexible AC Transmission System devices (FATCS) and in particular Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM) play a key role in the evolution of the modern power grids to the future smart grids. The STATCOM is used in an ...

Wind turbines have been used by many groups of humans for many centu-ries. Wind turbines have allowed groups of humans to perform many different tasks in the past (grinding grain, pumping water, etc.). However, ...

Having a method for analyzing and designing regulators of controls that contain many current loops such as active filters is not a trivial task. There can be many parameters of regulators and filters that must be carefully ...

In this paper, a Frequency-Dependent Pi Model (FDPi) of a three-core submarine cable is presented. The model is intended to be used for the representation of submarine cables in an Offshore Wind Power Plant (OWPP) scenario ...

Electric propulsion and integrated hybrid power systems can improve the energy efficiency and fuel consumption of different kinds of vessels. If the vessel power system is based on DC grid distribution, some benefits ...
