An Active Common-Mode Voltage Canceler for PWM Converters in Wind-Turbine Doubly-Fed Induction Generators

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Wind energy integration in power grids is increasing day by day to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and consequently greenhouse gas emissions. Using the pulse-width modulated (PWM) power converters in wind turbine generators, specifically in doubly-fed ...

Adélie penguin foraging location predicted by tidal regime switching. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Penguin foraging and breeding success depend on broad-scale environmental and local-scale hydrographic features of their habitat. We investigated the effect of local tidal currents on a population of Adélie penguins on Humble Is., Antarctica.

Mitigation of inverter-induced noncirculating bearing currents by introducing grounded electrodes into stator slot openings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Modern converter-supplied AC motors are exposed to bearing currents. Despite extensive research and development, the industry still does not have a final solution with acceptable cost and high efficiency. This paper focuses on capacitive bearing currents.
