A multi voltage source converter (VSC) based flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) device, such as generalized unified power flow controller (GUPFC) has more control parameters than its successor unified power flow controller (UPFC). Owing to its multi VSC based configuration, GUPFC can concurrently control real/reactive power flows of two or more transmission lines and AC bus voltage magnitude. In this work, PSCAD/EMTDC model of GTO based GUPFC is developed consisting of two series-VSCs and a shunt VSC. Each VSC is designed in detail which is comprised of eight two-level VSCs, switching at fundamental frequency of 60 Hz. The so-called "2 angle method" is adapted to control both magnitude and phase angle of each VSC independently. Stability and the reasonable dynamic performance of GUPFC are ensured by the optimization of GUPFC's six PI controllers using simplex method, which is a multi-parameter non-gradient optimization routine. The model is verified and tested in WSCC 3-machine 9-bus test system in different operating conditions and when the system is subjected to two types of fault. The results have proven that the tuned controllers are stable in all operation modes and GUPFC shows competence in dynamic control of real/reactive power flows of transmission lines and bus voltage.

Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for maximum efficiency operation Acik, A; Cadirci, I (1998-05-22) An active-clamped, zero-voltage switched forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier is designed and implemented for some low output voltage applications where maximized efficiency is of utmost importance. The converter efficiency is maximized due to soft-switching of the main, active clamp and the synchronous rectifier MOSFET switches. Experimental results are presented for a converter with a de input voltage of 48V, an output voltage of 5V and a de electronic load up to 10A. The ...
Adaptive fuzzy hysteresis band current control for reducing switching losses of hybrid active power filter Durna, Emre (2018-05-01) Although hysteresis band current control is an easy to implement and robust control method for industrial power electronics converters, it has also some disadvantages like variable and high switching frequency causing high switching losses. In this study, a novel adaptive fuzzy hysteresis band current control system is proposed by making use of fuzzy expressions of both hybrid active power filter (HAPF) current and integral of its harmonic components to reduce the switching losses of three-phase three-wire ...
A Current Source Converter-Based Active Power Filter for Mitigation of Harmonics at the Interface of Distribution and Transmission Systems Terciyanli, Alper; Avci, Tulay; Yilmaz, Ilker; Ermis, Cezmi; Kose, Kemal Nadir; Acik, Adnan; Kalaycioglu, Alper Sabri; Akkaya, Yener; Cadirci, Isik; Ermiş, Muammer (2012-07-01) A medium-power current source converter (CSC)-based shunt active power filter (APF) system is designed and implemented to suppress the amplification of low-order harmonics at the medium-voltage (MV) interface bus between the distribution and transmission systems, owing to the presence of large shunt capacitor banks installed only for reactive power compensation. Four CSC-based APF modules designed at 1.0 kV are operated in parallel and connected to the 31.5-kV MV bus via a specially designed coupling transf...
High Bandwidth Current Control via Nonlinear Compensation and GaN-based VSI Yuruk, Huseyin; Keysan, Ozan; Ulutas, Bans (2019-01-01) Nonlinearities in the voltage source inverter (VSI) such as dead time, switching time, delay time, voltage drops on the power switches, parasitic capacitances etc. are considered to be the main sources of the output voltage distortions. These distortions result in low order harmonics in the output current, which in turn increase core losses and create torque ripples. In particular, in the low speed and low torque applications the control performance and the stability of the system degrades substantially. Al...
Analysis and Characterization of DC Bus Ripple Current of Two-Level Inverters Using The Equivalent Centered Harmonic Approach Ayhan, Ufuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-09-22) The dc bus PWM ripple current of three-phase two-level voltage source inverters is a function of the PWM method, the load current magnitude, power factor angle, and the modulation index. Thus, the ripple current characteristics are highly involved and difficult to understand. Using the double Fourier integral approach, this paper investigates the ripple current characteristics thoroughly for a wide range of operating conditions and PWM methods. Then, the equivalent harmonic approach is used to lump the ripp...
