Due to increasing number of inverter based distributed generation resources in electric power systems, improving the quality and performance of them are necessary. In this paper a new current scheme is presented to inject sinusoidal current to the grid with following grid voltage conditions: sinusoidal voltage, distorted voltage and unbalance voltage. The proposed control scheme includes two sections: 1) Determination of sinusoidal reference current considering grid voltage condition; 2) current controller to track reference current. The proposed reference current determination algorithm in comparison with other algorithms, such as Park method is implemented easier and has faster dynamic response. The proposed current controller is implemented in the stationary reference frame and does not require the use of multiple controllers and coordinate transforms to compensate the harmonics. This control strategy needs tuning of only one variable, hence compared with other control methods requires less computational burden for practical implementation. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

In this paper a new topology of three-level inverters with ten-switch is proposed to control low voltage three phase induction motor. Ten-switch inverter is a reduced-switch-count three level inverter which compared to conventional topologies such as NPC, CHB and flying capacitor has lower count of semiconductor switches. Thus, it enjoys from lower cost, lower volume and lower weight. In this paper, a direct torque control (DTC) scheme based on switching table is developed to control a ten switch inverter. Simulation results of controlling induction motor fed by a conventional two-level inverter, NPC and proposed 10 switch inverter are presented and they are compared together in different aspects. Results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed topology and its control method.

This paper presents the process of designing and manufacturing a high-current line-commutated rectifier, which consists of six high current valves. Every valve is constructed through the parallelization of the four thyristors. The design of the physical structure, the placement of busbars, and the arrangement of parallel thyristors are made using an innovative technique so that the current flows equally between them. To ensure equal flow distribution, in addition to the design of hardware structure and the use of suitable methods for simultaneous and accurate triggering of parallel thyristors, a new control technique based on the temperature measurement of each thyristor is proposed. Finally, the experimental results of a 170V, 4000A rectifier are presented to verify the proposed hardware design and control method.
