Abstract: A method for controlling a voltage source power converter of a renewable energy power conversion system includes providing the voltage source power converter having, at least, a rotor-side converter and a line-side converter. The method also includes generating, via a converter controller, a first set of switching pulses based on a third-harmonic phase opposition carrier-based pulse width modulation (PO_CB_PWM) scheme. Further, the method includes generating, via the converter controller, a second set of switching pulses based on a third-harmonic in phase carrier-based pulse width modulation (IP_CB_PWM) scheme. As such, the method includes implementing, via the converter controller, a pulse-width modulation scheme for the rotor-side and line-side converters using the first and second sets of switching pulses, respectively, to obtain an output voltage from the voltage source converter to a desired magnitude, shape, and/or frequency.

Abstract: A method for operating a power system connected to a power grid includes providing an active filter in the converter power path. Further, the method includes determining a change in attenuation of harmonics of the power system over a predetermined frequency spectrum that is needed to comply with one or more grid code requirements of the power grid. Thus, the method includes actively controlling, via a controller, the active filter to provide the change to the attenuation of the harmonics of the power system so as to mitigate the harmonics of the power system.

Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine system, and associated system, provides real and reactive power to a grid. The wind turbine system includes a generator with a power converter and an integrated reactive power compensation device. A total reactive power demand (Qcmd) is made on the wind turbine system at a first grid state, and is allocated to generator reactive power (Qg) and compensation device reactive power (Qmvb). A first reactive power droop scheme is determined that includes a reactive power droop value applied to one or both of the control loops for (Qg) and (Qmvb) at the first grid state. Upon detection of a grid fault, the first reactive power droop scheme is changed to a second reactive power droop scheme by changing the reactive power droop values applied to one or both of the (Qg) and (Qmvb) control loops during recovery from the grid fault.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer system is disclosed. The wireless power transfer system includes a first converting unit configured to convert a first DC voltage of an input power to an AC voltage. Further, the wireless power transfer system includes a contactless power transfer unit configured to transmit the input power having the AC voltage. Also, the wireless power transfer system includes a second converting unit configured to convert the AC voltage to a second DC voltage and transmit the input power having the second DC voltage to an electric load. Additionally, the wireless power transfer system includes a switching unit configured to decouple the electric load from the contactless power transfer unit if the second DC voltage across the electric load is greater than a first threshold value.

Abstract: A hybrid AC and DC distribution system includes a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), a DC distribution bus, an AC/DC converter, an AC distribution bus, and a DC/AC converter. The DFIG includes a rotor and a stator, and is configured to generate a first AC power at the rotor and a second AC power at the stator. The AC/DC converter is coupled to the rotor and the DC distribution bus. The AC/DC converter converts the first AC power to a first DC power at a first node for delivery to a first load through the DC distribution bus. The DC/AC converter is coupled between the first node and a second node coupled to the stator and the AC distribution bus. The DC/AC converter converts the first DC power to the second AC power at the second node for delivery to a second load through the AC distribution bus.

Abstract: An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) system for providing power to a load coupled to a utility power source is provided. The UPS system includes a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), a rechargeable energy storage system, a first inverter, and a controller in communication with the DFIG and the first inverter. The DFIG includes a stator and a rotor coupled to the load. The stator and rotor are magnetically coupled together. The DFIG generates an auxiliary power output. The first inverter is coupled between the rotor and the rechargeable energy storage system. The controller detects a power disturbance associated with the utility power source and controls the first inverter to provide an excitation input to the rotor in response to the power disturbance. The DFIG provides the auxiliary power output to the load based on the excitation input.
