This thesis involves grid impedance estimation based adaptive controller design for back-to-back wind turbine power converters for stable operation in distorted and weak grid. The study focuses on the low frequency harmonic elimination of injected current to the grid under distorted grid conditions and maintaining system stability under wide range of grid impedance values for Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) connected to the grid via LCL filter. To eliminate 5th and 7th harmonics of the injected current, a current controller with harmonic compensator is developed on the grid side controller. The system stability is evaluated by means of several control methods and ensured by adjusting the parameters of Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based on real-time estimated grid impedance. The control design is analyzed by detailed computer simulations. Obtained results are verified by laboratory experiments with a 300 kW wind turbine system which consists of squirrel cage induction generator, IGBT based back-to-back converter and LCL filter. Different operating conditions are considered to provide a through performance evaluation of the designed system.

Performance Evaluation and Comparison of Single-Phase and Two-Phase Interleaving Flyback Micro-Inverters for Grid Connected PV Systems Kavurucu, Semih; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-06-04) Flyback converter based single-stage, microinverters are attractive solution for interfacing individual PV modules to the grid due to their low cost, high performance, ease of implementation, and galvanic isolation. In such applications, discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) of operation and interleaving techniques bring additional size and performance advantages such as eliminating reverse recovery loss, switching stress, EMI radiation, and improving efficiency. This paper focuses on performance evaluation o...
Performance Evaluation and Selection of PWM Switching and Control Methods for Grid Connected Modular Multilevel Converters Ciftci, Baris; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2015-09-24) This paper focuses on the determination of suitable carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) switching and control methods for grid connected modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Characterization of various level-shifted and phase-shifted carrier based PWM methods are provided in terms of output voltage waveforms both for N+1 and 2N+1 level output phase voltages. Carrier based PWM method based control approaches are evaluated for MMC. Performances of different control methods are evaluated and compared f...
Highly Integrated 3 V Supply Electronics for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters With Minimum 0.4 V-peak Input Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2017-07-01) This paper presents a self-powered interface enabling battery-like operation with a regulated 3 V output from ac signals as low as 0.4 V-peak, generated by electromagnetic energy harvesters under low frequency vibrations. As the first stage of the 180 nm standard CMOS circuit, harvested signal is rectified through an ac/dc doubler with active diodes powered internally by a passive ac/dc quadrupler. The voltage is boosted in the second stage through a low voltage charge pump stimulated by an on-chip ring osc...
Application of an optical fiber-based system for mass movement monitoring Arslan Kelam, Arzu; Akgün, Haluk; KOÇKAR, MUSTAFA KEREM (2022-03-01) This paper assesses the stages and findings of a mass movement monitoring system developed for continuous long-term monitoring applications using optical fiber cable as a sensor to decrease the risks associated with slope instabilities. During this study, a system composed of optical fiber cables and a device referred to as the Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analyzer (BOTDA) has been used. This system has been implemented in a risky landslide area in the Bahcecik region of Kocaeli, one of the active landslid...
Design of Grid Connected PWM Converters Considering Topology and PWM Methods for Low-Voltage Renewable Energy Applications Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-05-21) This paper assesses the feasibility three-phase PWM three-level voltage source converters (VSCs), namely NPC-type VSC (3L-NPC) and T-type VSC (3L-T) as alternatives to standard three-phase PWM two-level VSC (2L-VSC) for low-voltage grid interface applications, The topological performances are compared through a design algorithm regarding varying switching frequency, load condition, modulation index, and converter side inductance under distinct pulse-width modulation methods, Design of the LCL filter is also...
