Multilevel power converters have been aim of research in the last years due to their advantages when compared to traditional two-level topologies: better harmonic performance, filters reduction, lower components voltage stress and higher power process capability. Following this trend, the present work proposes two Zeta DC-DC converters composed of multilevel flying capacitor asymmetric totem-pole switching cells. These structures are achieved by replacing one leg of switch/diode of the traditional two-level asymmetric totem-pole switching cell by a similar multilevel flying capacitor switching cell. A generalized structure of the flying capacitor switching cell for $k$ switches is presented. An operation analysis of the proposed converter is presented as well as simulation results to validate the theoretical approach.

Multilevel power converters have been aim of research in the last years due to their advantages when compared to traditional two-level topologies: better harmonic performance, filters reduction, lower components voltage stress and higher power process capability. Following this trend, the present work proposes two SEPIC DC-DC converters composed of multilevel flying capacitor asymmetric totem-pole switching cell. These structures are achieved by replacing one leg of switch/diode of the traditional two-level asymmetric totem-pole cell by a similar multilevel flying capacitor cell. An operation analysis of the proposed converter is presented, as well as hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation results to validate the theoretical approach.

This paper presents two ac machine drive systems based on three-phase to five-phase ac-ac converters and open-windings five-phase machine. The drive systems are suitable to applications in which high power, performance and reliability are required using low power and voltage switches and low dc-link capacitor voltages. The configuration I employs an input transformer with two secondary taps at the grid side, two three-phase three-leg converters and one ten-leg converter (totalling sixteen legs). The configuration II employs a low-power series transformer at the grid side, two three-phase three-leg converters, and one ten-leg converter. Both configurations permit to reduce the power and voltage ratings of power switches and also the dc-link capacitor size. The paper presents the comprehensive models of the proposed systems, modulation strategies and a general comparison with conventional configuration. Simulated and experimental results are presented.

This paper proposes a three-phase three-level AC/DC converter with reduced number of controlled switches and high-frequency DC-bus based on NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) topology, for unidirectional power flow applications. Galvanic isolation is reached by using a center tap transformer, which requires only a full-bridge at it primary side. No bulky electrolytic capacitors are needed on the DC-bus, in contrast to conventional multilevel topologies. A PWM strategy with carriers arranged in alternating phase opposition (PWM-APOD) is used to operate the proposed converter. The applied PWM technique is able to operate the converter stage on the AC side with only two switches commuting per switching period. The switches of the isolated pulsating DC/DC converter are commutated with half the switching frequency of the converter on the AC side. A dual-loop control strategy with PI voltage and PI resonant current controllers is adopted to ensure reference load voltage and almost sinusoidal grid currents. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed converter operation.

Ferromagnetic materials have magnetic properties which determine its magnetic field conductivity characteristics. Such characteristics are extremely important for the proper selection and use of these materials in measurement processes, for example. Therefore, this paper presents an equipment for the characterization of ferromagnetic materials constructed in a laboratory. The experimental results of this equipment are acquired and compared with the experimental results obtained with an industrially manufactured apparatus called hysteresisgraph, designed to provide magnetic characterization of magnetic materials. The results of the comparison demonstrate that the equipment presented has low relative error and can be applied in academic projects which require magnetic characterization of ferromagnetic materials developed in the laboratory.

This paper proposes two three-phase five-level power conversion systems. They can be employed in a wind energy converter system (WECS) application as the machine side rectifier, connected to the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) by an open-end winding (OEW) arrangement. Compared to the conventional topology, proposed ones lack the use of six clamping diodes in their structures. Even though, they also achieve the same power quality as the conventional one. Besides, proposed configurations may have fewer semiconductor devices in the current path, providing slightly lower power losses. Furthermore, the control system used ensures the synchronization between voltage and current, providing a high power factor operation. The converter equations, pulse-width modulation technique, and control strategy are detailed. Simulation and experimental results are provided in order to confirm their performance and feasibility.

In this work it is presented an AC-DC-AC synchronization technique that aims to reduce the DC-link current oscillation. The technique is applied to a reduced component count single-phase back-to-back Currente Source Converters (CSC). The deduction of how the DC-link oscillation is influenced by both input and output angles is presented. Experimental and simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical approach and to illustrate the synchronization phenomenon.

Nowadays, to improve power quality and power demand, several studies point to the use of Active Power Line Conditioners (APLCs) and Distributed Generation (DG), both based on power electronic devices. Considering various distributed power devices with cooperative operation, the strategies evaluation to compensate harmonics and correct power factor (PF) in Electric Power System (EPS) is only possible to be investigated by simulation. In this work, it is proposed a Power Hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) system for testing the APLCs operation. The proposed PHIL system can evaluate the performance of the APLC control strategies and EPS dynamic response under APLC operation. Furthermore, the same platform can be used to integrating DGs with the EPS as it also uses power electronic devices.
