The short reference differential chaos shift keying (SR-DCSK) is a variant of DCSK which increases data rata and enhances energy efficiency without extra complexity. However, the advantages of bit error ratio (BER) performance of the SR-DCSK over the conventional DCSK is not notable even if the optimal length of reference signal is applied. In this paper, we propose an improved SR-DCSK scheme where...
An average power sharing control strategy for parallel operation of voltage source inverter (VSI) based modular Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPSs) is proposed in this paper. The presented method is based on a modified droop control. The proposed method conquers the drawback of conventional droop plus virtual impedance control, and at the same time some challenges in the real applications have been...
In this paper, an improved grid voltage modulated control (GVM) with power compensation is proposed for grid-connected voltage inverters when the grid voltage is unbalanced. The objective of the proposed control is to remove the power ripple and to improve current quality. Three power compensation objectives are selected to eliminate the negative sequence components of currents. The modified GVM method...
In order to reduce the Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) in three-to-five phase indirect matrix converters, three improved Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) methods are proposed and discussed. The improved modulation schemes are achieved by reorganizing zero vectors from the inversion stage to the rectification stage. The proposed methods can not only theoretically reduce the CMV peak value by up...

An optimal choice of the inductor of the SAF is presented based on the slope calculation of the SAF current which was demonstrated to...
Dual-active-bridge (DAB) DC-DC isolated converter is widely used in many applications e.g. power supplies, transportations and renewable power systems.

In this paper, a predictive direct power control (P-DPC) strategy for a three level NPC rectifier under ideal grid voltage is proposed, discussed and applied. With the proposed P-DPC strategy, the control targets are the active power, the reactive power and the neutral potential voltage; neither hysteresis comparators nor switching table are needed; sinusoidal input current with low total harmonic...
This paper discusses reduction of capacitances of dc capacitors in the previously proposed smart charger (SC) with a sinusoidal charging-discharging lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles in single-phase three-wire distribution feeders. The dc-capacitor current of the three-leg pulse-width modulated (PWM) rectifier, which is included in the SC, is detected, and then added to the reference value...
Due to the insignificant share of inverter-based Renewable Energy Resources (RER) as well as the uncertainty concerning their integration impacts, the capability of RERs to regulate voltage or frequency has not been widely used. However, inverter-based voltage/frequency regulation is of interest due to the fast growth of distributed RERs, especially solar Photovoltaic (PV) resources. The IEEE 1547a...
In this paper, an advanced droop control using a multinomial model for operating the parallel-connected uninterruptible power supply (UPS) inverters is proposed. To control the parallel inverters without any physical communications, the control method using a P/Q droops is conventionally used. The conventional method droops voltage and frequency using the monomial model. In conventional droop control,...

The proposed topology uses a N:1 transformer, which is connected as an autotransformer and a power converter module which consists of a single-phase half-bridge converter and an inverter. Also, the three-phase system can be comprised of three single-phase UPFCs. In three-phase system, while the conventional UPFC topology...

This work studies voltage regulation strategies that allow accommodating more PV generation in distribution feeders. It is proposed a strategy in which PV inverters nearer the substation use Q(P) curves with capacitive power factor. PV inverters far from the substation should have inductive power factor. Simulation results suggest that by using the proposed strategy, voltages could be kept in acceptable...
With the development of wireless sensors, wireless technology and micro-electromechanical systems, the micro power supply system attracts people more attention. And since mechanical vibration energy is widely distributed in nature and is subject to less restrictive environmental factors, it is gradually becoming a new study object for energy collection. At present, according to the latest study, the...
The offline SMPS are efficient, lightweight widely used converters in consumer electronics connected to utility mains.
