A Consensus-Based Algorithm for Power Sharing and Voltage Regulation in DC Microgrids
ABSTRACT In dc microgrids, load power sharing and bus voltage regulation are two common control objectives. In this article, a consensus-based algorithm is presented to achieve proportional power sharing and regulation of weighted geometric mean of bus voltages in dc...
Multilevel Switching-Mode Operation of Finite-Set Model Predictive Control for Grid-Connected Packed E-Cell Inverter
ABSTRACT In this article, we propose a modified finite-set model predictive control (M-FS-MPC) for multilevel switching-mode operation of grid-connected nine-level packed E-cell (PEC9) inverter. With a single-dc source, six power switches, back-to-back-connected...
Modified PWM Technique for a Multi-Pulse Converter fed Multilevel Inverter Based IM Drive
ABSTRACT This paper deals with a 36-pulse AC-DC converter fed 5-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHB-MLI) based induction motor drive (IMD). A new configuration of a multi winding transformer (MWT) is designed for a 36-pulse AC-DC converter at the utility...
