Self-precharge in single-leg flying capacitor converters [PDF]
Flying Capacitor (FC) multilevel pulse width modulated (PWM) converters are an attractive choice due to the natural voltage balance property. During start-up of the converter, care has to be taken that the power switches are not exposed to voltage ...

Voltage balancing in low‐voltage radial feeders using Scott transformers
Increasing use of heat pumps, micro‐generation, electric vehicles and energy‐saving technologies is expected to cause severe voltage imbalance on low‐voltage (LV) radial feeders and deteriorate the power quality seen by single‐phase (1Φ) and three‐phase (3Φ) LV connected consumers. To solve this problem, a Scott transformer‐based balancing technique is

A multilevel voltage-source converter system with balanced DC voltages [PDF]
In this paper, a multilevel voltage-source converter system is proposed for high-voltage, high-power applications such as back-to-back interconnection of power systems, large induction motor drives, and electrical traction drives. Multilevel voltage-source converters have a voltage unbalance problem in the DC capacitors.

Transition from Islanded to grid-connected mode of microgrids with voltage-based droop control [PDF]
Microgrids are able to provide a coordinated integration of the increasing share of distributed generation (DG) units in the network. The primary control of the DG units is generally performed by droop-based control algorithms that avoid communication ...
