A Three-Phase High-Frequency Semicontrolled Rectifier for PM WECS
Demercil S. Oliveira,M.M. Reis,Carlos Elmano de Alencar e Silva,L. Colado Barreto,Fernando L. M. Antunes,B.L. Soares +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a three-phase high-frequency semicontrolled rectifier for wind energy conversion systems based on permanent magnet generators is proposed, where all active switches are connected to a common point, robustness, and high efficiency due to reduced number of elements.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A variable speed wind energy conversion system connected to the grid for small wind generator
M.M. Reis,B.L. Soares,Luiz H. S. C. Barreto,E. Freitas,Carlos Elmano de Alencar e Silva,René Pastor Torrico Bascopé,Demercil S. Oliveira +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wind energy system using a permanent magnet generator connected to a three-phase semi-controlled rectifier is presented, which uses a double hysteresis in the control of the current injected in the grid.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Three-Phase ZVS PWM DC–DC Converter Associated With a Double-Wye Connected Rectifier, Delta Primary
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the theoretical analysis of the three-phase zero voltage switching pulsewidth modulation dc-dc converter associated with a double Wye connected rectifier, delta primary, using a special switching scheme to maintain equilibrium among the currents through the output filters.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A novel three-phase rectifier with high power factor for wind energy conversion systems
Carlos Elmano de Alencar e Silva,Demercil S. Oliveira,Luiz H. S. C. Barreto,René Pastor Torrico Bascopé +3 more
TL;DR: A new topology of three-phase controlled rectifier feasible for high power wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is proposed, based on the bridgeless rectifier, which allows the operation with high power factor, increasing the generator efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis, Design, and Experimentation of a Double Forward Converter With Soft Switching Characteristics for All Switches
Demercil de Souza Oliveira,Carlos Elmano de Alencar e Silva,Rene P. Torrico-Bascope,Fernando Lessa Tofoli,C.A. Bissochi,J.B. Vieira,Valdeir J. Farias,L.C. de Freitas +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dual active bridge converter with a soft commutation cell, which provides zero-voltage commutation of the main switches for the entire load range, is implemented.
