ELEN 762 Voltage Source Converters
Voltage source converters are widely used in modern power electronic systems such as grid-connected renewable energy sources, electric drives, gird integration of energy storage devices, Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Grid to Grid to Vehicle (G2V) systems, standalone renewable energy sources, regenerative power converters, High Voltage DC (HVDC), High frequency AC link, Flexible AC Transaction Systems (FACTS) devices etc. The course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the Voltage Source Converters (VSC). Various VSC topologies and their pulse-width modulation algorithms are discussed. The modelling, design, simulation and hardware implementation of pulse-width modulation and application of VSC are discussed.
