Different types of generators are used in wind farms including Synchronous and Asynchronous generators and Double Fed Induction Generators (DFIG). In Synchronous generator case, a power electronic circuit called a cyclo-converter is used as an interface to connect the generator to network. This circuit uses a DC-AC inverter with controllable switches that implies the proper and fixed amplitude and frequency in the output. This paper proposes a new method to minimize the harmonics amplitude that contains the firing angles control and a three-phase coupling transformer. In this method, 11 firing angles are defined for every bridge in a quarter of cycle. Then all the harmonic amplitudes is calculated as a function of 01 to On. Then an objective function is defined as a complex of unwanted harmonics (except the even harmonics, and triplen harmonics that are eliminated with the coupling three-phase transformer). This objective function is minimized with numerical methods, to find the optimized values of theta(1) to theta(11). All of this calculation are redone for some admissible amounts of V& in a bounded certain range, and some operating points are gained. A neural networked, trained by these operating points, will have the control of firing the switches after that.

A Transverse Flux High Temperature Superconducting Generator Topology for Large Direct Drive Wind Turbines Keysan, Ozan (2012-01-01) The cost and mass of an offshore wind turbine power-train can be reduced by using high-temperature superconducting generators, but for a successful commercial design the superconducting generator should be as reliable as its alternatives. In this paper, we present a novel transverse flux superconducting generator topology which is suitable for low-speed, high-torque applications. The generator is designed with a stationary superconducting field winding and a variable reluctance claw pole motor for simplifie...
A DC Bus Capacitor Design Method for Various Inverter Applications Hava, Ahmet Masum; Aban, Vahap Volkan (2012-09-20) This paper involves the selection and sizing of the appropriate type of dc bus capacitor for various applications utilizing PWM operated three-phase voltage source inverters, such as battery operated systems, PV (photovoltaic) systems, UPSs, and motor drives. It classifies the power converter topologies based on dc bus ripple current frequency characteristics. A general approach for ripple current characterization is provided. Based on these characteristics, the two capacitor types suitable for this purpose...
Development of a superconducting claw-pole linear test-rig Radyjowski, Patryk; Keysan, Ozan; Burchell, Joseph; Mueller, Markus (IOP Publishing, 2016-04-01) Superconducting generators can help to reduce the cost of energy for large offshore wind turbines, where the size and mass of the generator have a direct effect on the installation cost. However, existing superconducting generators are not as reliable as the alternative technologies. In this paper, a linear test prototype for a novel superconducting claw-pole topology, which has a stationary superconducting coil that eliminates the cryocooler coupler will be presented. The issues related to mechanical, elec...
Design of a Power Plant Emulator for the Dynamic Frequency Stability Studies Duymaz, Erencan; Pourkeivannour, Siamak; Ceylan, Doğa; ŞAHİN, İLKER; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25) Increasing renewable energy integration to grid requires inertial support to improve frequency stability of the power system. Inertial support of renewable energy systems requires hardware verification in order to test practical limitations and absence of dynamical grid simulators makes verification studies more challenging. In this study, a test rig which is composed of a DC motor, an AC synchronous generator and an external flywheel, is developed in order to provide a platform in which dynamic properties ...
A new DC voltage balancing method for cascaded multilevel inverter based statcom Deniz, Mustafa; Gultekin, Burhan; Gercek, Cem Oezguer; Atalik, Tevhid; Cadirci, Isik; Ermis, Mummer (2007-09-12) It has been mentioned in the literature that, among the multilevel inverter topologies used for STATCOM applications, the cascaded multilevel topology is the most advantageous and economical one. On the other hand, the main problem of this topology comes out to be the difficulty of sustaining the DC capacitors' mean voltages. This issue is very important for obtaining an output voltage with low THD and having equal device stresses. In this work, a new DC voltage balancing method (Selective-Swapping Algorith...
