The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the design of a two-level boost converter and its controller. First, the context of the importance of such a converter is stablished. Then, the operation of an ideal converter ...

A Direct Torque Control scheme which regulates the flux and the electromagnetictorque of an induction motor (IM) is presented in this paper. A Cascade Asymmetric Multilevel Converter (CAMC) drives the IM in 7-level mode ...

In this work a dynamic control of the dc-link voltage in a hybrid Back-to-Back (BtB) Modular Multilevel Converter for medium-voltage drive applications is presented. The proposed control scheme relates the speed of the ...

Multilevel converters operating with single dc source represent an interesting and simple solution, since only an isolated voltage source is required, even in applications with active power transfer. In this way, the ...

In a hybrid modular multilevel converter (MMC), capacitor voltage balance between the Full-Bridge Sub-Modules (FBSMs) and Half-Bridge Sub-Modules (HBSMs) is only possible when the arm currents are bipolar. For a grid-connected ...

The power quality (PQ) in distribution systems is affected by the pollution introduced by the customers. The Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) custom power device is the most integral actuator to improve the quality ...

This paper presents a design procedure and a control strategy for a grid-connected single-phase multilevel converter. The proposed system uses two series connected H-bridge modules, one fed by photovoltaic panels, the ...
