TL;DR: The most successful generator-converter configurations are addressed along with few promising topologies available in the literature from the market based survey, and the past, present and future trends in megawatt WECS are reviewed in terms of mechanical and electrical technologies, integration to power systems, and control theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new medium voltage power converter topology using a diode rectifier, three-level boost (TLB) converter, and neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter is proposed for a high-power permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind energy conversion system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model predictive current control strategy is proposed for four-leg inverters to deliver power to the (un)balanced/(non)linear loads, which does not require current PI controllers or a complex modulation stage.

TL;DR: Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed charging station architecture and provide complementary balancing capabilities by the use of an additional NPC leg acting as a bidirectional dc-dc stage, simulating the minimal load condition and allowing the modulator to keep the control on the dc voltages under any load scenario.

TL;DR: The proposed approach uses the novel discrete-time model of the inverter and output LC filter in order to predict the variables to be controlled and its application to the load voltage control of two-level four-leg inverters.
