Comparative Analysis of Modulation Techniques for Modular Multilevel Converters in Traction Drives
de Simone, Davide; Piegari, Luigi; D'Arco, Salvatore (Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018)The spreading of electric vehicles led to a renewed interest for innovative traction drives. In this context, an electric traction drive based on a Modular Multilevel Converter and integrating batteries in each module has ... -
A Current Controlled Virtual Synchronous Machine Adapted for Operation under Unbalanced Conditions
Avdiaj, Eros; Suul, Jon Are Wold; D'Arco, Salvatore; Piegari, Luigi (International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of control strategies for operation of a Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM) under unbalanced conditions in both grid-connected and islanded mode. The basis for the evaluation ... -
Evaluation of Inertia Emulation Strategies for DC- Voltage-Controlled and Power-Controlled Converter Stations in HVDC Interconnections
Puricelli, Francesco Giacomo; D'Arco, Salvatore; Suul, Jon Are Wold; Piegari, Luigi (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper presents an evaluation of two control schemes for virtual inertia support from the converter terminals of an HVDC interconnection. A point-to-point interconnection between asynchronous power systems is assumed, ... -
