TL;DR: In this paper, a new three-phase electric spring circuit and its new operation in reducing power imbalance in the 3-phase power system of a building is described, and a control scheme for such smart loads to reduce power imbalance within the building's electric power system has been evaluated initially with an experimental prototype and then in a system simulation study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first hardware implementation and control of an electric spring based on a back-to-back converter configuration, which can substantially extend the operating range of the original version of the electric spring and provide enhanced voltage support and suppression functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the operating principles and the input current control of the second generation of electric spring (ES-2) for power quality improvement such as power factor correction and harmonics reduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored various direct power control (DPC) strategies for three-phase two-level pulsewidth modulation (PWM) converters and summarized the fundamental power formula of PWM rectifiers, and studied the operating principle of the conventional table-based approach and its related improvements.

TL;DR: This paper describes how a large-scale ice-thermal storage can be turned into a smart load for fast voltage control and demand-side management in power systems with intermittent renewable power, while maintaining its existing function of load shaving.
