An improved parallel five-level reinjection CSC for self-commutation of thyristor converter

Yumei Song, Jianzhang Hao, Changhao Dong, Xizheng Guo, Li Wang

This paper aims to study a multi-level reinjection current source converter (MLR-CSC) that adds attracting properties such as the self-commutation and pulse multiplication to the…

Reliability evaluation on SRG with full-bridge power converter considering thermal stress

Fan Yang, Hao Chen, Shuai Xu

Quantitative reliability analysis can effectively identify the time the driving system needs to be maintained. Then, the potential safety problems can be found, and some…

A chopper amplifier with a pseudo MOS resistor-based tunable bandwidth for EEG applications

Amrita Sajja, S. Rooban

The purpose of chopper amplifier is to provide the wideband frequency to support biomedical signals.

DC-port voltage balance strategy for three-phase cascaded H-bridge rectifier based on logic combination modulation

Mingxiao Dai, Xu Peng, Xiao Liang, Xinyu Zhu, Xiaohan Liu, Xijun Liu, Pengcheng Han, Chao Wu

The purpose of this paper is to propose a DC-port voltage balance strategy realizing it by logic combination modulation (LCM). This voltage balance strategy is brief and high…

Bipolar power converter and control of switched reluctance generator system for renewable energy storage

Hao Chen, Fan Yang, Miguel Pablo Aguirre, Muhammad Asghar Saqib, Galina Demidova, Alecksey Anuchin, Mohamed Orabi, Ryszard Palka, Liudmila Ivanovna Sakhno, Nikolay Vladimirovich Korovkin

Because of the shortage of energy, the development of green and reliable energy is particularly important. As a green and clean energy, wind power is widely used. As the core…
