This paper proposes a new nonlinear control of three-phase three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) boost rectifier operating under severe disturbances. The nonlinear control strategy is employed to take into account the essential nonlinearities of the system and it totally differ from the common...

The asymmetries that form in the moist version of the model have a different structure to those...</equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation>

A modeling technique of a subway network is performed in order to quantify the effect of insulated negative current rail on resonance frequencies. A DC track circuit is modeled by means of transmission line modeling (TLM) approach to perform line current and voltage calculation. Impedance and...

Mechanical vibrations become a serious concern in drive applications when they adversely affect the dynamic performances of these applications and may end with physical deterioration of their structures. In many process applications, such perturbations must be detected and assessed in order to...

This paper presents a performance evaluation of three-phase, three-switch, three-level, fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulated (PWM) rectifier, when an inductive connection is added between the DC-side capacitive mid-point and the AC-side source neutral. A new continuous-mode model that takes...

The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of the single-phase shunt active power filter (SPSAPF) and the single-phase shunt hybrid power filter (SPSHPF) that adopt both an indirect current control scheme with a unipolar pulse width modulation (U-PWM) strategy. The SPSHPF topology...

The authors propose a new mathematical tool to investigate the influence of cable characteristics upon pulse voltage transients and their associated differential mode (DM) currents in PWM long cable drives. Even if reflected wave transient voltages have received considerable investigation for...
