Three-phase AC-DC converters have been developed to a matured level with improved
power quality in terms of power-factor correction, reduced total harmonic distortion at input …

New regulations impose more stringent limits on current harmonics injected by power
converters that are achieved with pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) rectifiers. In addition …

This paper, along with an earlier published paper as Part 1, provides a comprehensive
review of the state of the art of high-power converters (above 1 MW) for adjustable-speed ac …

A self-tuning proportional-integral (PI) controller in which the controller gains are adapted
using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is proposed for a static synchronous …

Although the cost of electricity has significantly decreased since the 1930s, it is still not
readily available to the disadvantaged in countries and regions of poverty. One of the single …

Multilevel converters (MLCs) have emerged as standard power electronic converters in high
power as well as quality demanding applications. They are classified into current-fed MLCs …

This paper presents modulation strategies for cascaded multilevel inverters that substantially
eliminate common-mode voltage on the output phases. The paper begins by developing …

Common-mode voltages (CMVs) can lead to premature failure of the motor insulation
system in medium-voltage current-source-fed drives. By analyzing the CMV values at all …

Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases—
and wind energy is a free, renewable resource. However, the induction machines commonly …

Selective harmonic elimination pulsewidth modulation techniques are some of the control
methods used in voltage/current source converters. However, challenges such as the task of …
