DC Link Capacitor Ripple Constraints Limit the Benefits of Utility-Owned Four-Wire Power Converters
Matthew Deakin, Xu Deng, Shafiq Odhano +1
Utilities are increasingly interested in power converters to increase the headroom of their assets by actively controlling power flows on their network. In this work we demonstrate…

Power Converter DC Link Ripple and Network Unbalance as Active Constraints in Distribution System Optimal Power Flow
Matthew Deakin, Rahmat Heidari, Xu Deng
The mitigation of unbalanced grid voltages or currents by voltage source converters results in power ripple on the dc link, and is a key converter design parameter due to hardware…

Reconfigurable Power Converters with Increased Utilization for Unbalanced Power Distribution System Applications
Matthew Deakin, Xu Deng
A low-cost reconfiguration stage connected at the output of balanced three-phase, multi-terminal ac/dc/ac converters can increase the feasible set of power injections substantially…
