Abstract

Power electronic converters have been actively researched and developed over the past decades. There is a growing need for new solutions and topography to increase the reliability and efficiency of alternatives with lower cost, size and weight. Resistor source converter is one of the most important power electronic converters that can be used for AC-DC, AC-AC, DC-DC and DC-DC converters which can be used for various applications such as photovoltaic systems, wind power systems, electricity. Vehicles and fuel cell applications. This article provides a comprehensive overview of Z-source converters and their implementation with new configurations with advanced features, emerging control strategies and applications.

Abstract

The multilevel inverter (MLI) is identified as a viable power electronic unit for distributed energy conversion applications. In this paper discusses the performance of a single phase seven level Z (impedance) source cascaded H-bridge inverter topology suited for solar photovoltaic systems. A modified sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique is used to control the switches of the H-bridge inverter. The simulation results are obtained in terms of inverter output voltage and harmonic analysis confirms improvement in voltage boost and reduction in harmonic distortion of the suggested inverter topology. The experimental results match the simulation values, as verified through a scaled-down prototype.

Abstract

This paper addresses the impact of renewable power generation such as photovoltaic and wind energy in the existing power system operations. Various modeling approaches and power quality/reliability analysis of these renewable energy sources in the electric power system by researchers and research organisations and utilities are outlined and their impacts are assessed. Challenges and protection schemes of renewable power integration into the existing grid are discussed through a detailed literature review and study of renewable integration into the Indian power system are outlined including potential planning and policy actions to support renewable energy integration in India.
