Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid Planning with Optimal Placement of DC Feeders
With the significant increase in DC loads (such as data and telecommunication centers) at the power distribution level, an additional set of power electronic converters are required to connect these DC loads to the AC-dominant power network.

Adaptive stabilization of uncontrolled rectifier based AC-DC power systems feeding constant power loads [PDF]
It is known that, when tightly regulated, actively controlled power converters behave as constant power loads (CPLs). These loads can significantly degrade the stability of their feeder system.

A novel concept of unidirectional bridgeless combined boost-buck converter for EV battery chargers [PDF]
This paper presents a novel concept of unidirectional bridgeless combined boost-buck converter for electric vehicles (EVs) battery chargers. The proposed converter is composed by two power stages: an ac-dc front-end converter used to interface the ...

Impedance modelling and parametric sensitivity of a VSC-HVDC system: New insights on resonances and interactions [PDF]
Pervasiveness of power converters in the electric power system is expected in the future. Such large penetration will change the current power system dynamics leading to uncertain, unexpected, and potentially critical responses.

Active Power Criterion Based High-Adaptive Differential Protection for Power Electronic Equipment
In flexible AC/DC microgrids, a variety of non-traditional power equipment are in operation, such as AC/DC interlinking converters. Moreover, due to the influence of interlinking converters, short-circuit fault characteristics in microgrids are much ...
