A crucial criterion for the dimensioning of three phase PWM converters is the cooling of the power semiconductors and thus determination of power dissipation in the semiconductors at certain… (More)
Three phase current source inverters (CSI) and voltage source inverters linked with a DC to DC boost converter (VSI+BC) are appropriate solutions to convert electrical energy for distributed fuel… (More)
The application of a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) connected to a wind-turbine-driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is investigated. The setup allows the wind turbine system an… (More)
Variable speed drives have become industrial standard in many applications. Therefore fault diagnosis of voltage source inverters is becoming more and more important. One possible fault within the… (More)
Fault diagnosis of electrical drives is becoming more and more important today, since variable speed drives have become industrial standard in many applications. As an integral part of the drive,… (More)
Status monitoring and performance diagnosis for variable speed ac drives today is a need, more or less, depending on their application. Diagnosis can help to avoid unplanned standstill, to make… (More)
The control of a PWM rectifier with LCL-filter using a minimum number of sensors is analyzed. In addition to the DC-link voltage either the converter or line current is measured. Two different ways… (More)
A bilinear observer is presented to detect current sensor faults in a doubly fed induction generator. The state space model is derived from the voltage equations of stator and rotor. The bilinear… (More)
A transformer based voltage sag generator to test renewable energy systems is presented. Design considerations concerning overvoltages and overcurrents during switching action are adressed.… (More)
In distributed power generation systems a fast and accurate positive-sequence fundamental grid-voltage frequency and magnitude tracking is required to synchronize grid-connected converter-systems… (More)
