• A Novel Technique to Mitigate the Overlap-Time Effect in Current Source Inverters 

      Sohail, Umer; Østrem, Trond; Hoff, Bjarte (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-31)
      Generally, the current source inverter is considered more reliable than the voltage source inverter due to the presence of inductor as an energy storage element on the DC link, but a disruption in the inductor current could significantly risk its reliability. To guarantee the reliable operation of current source inverter, an overlap time must be added to the gate signals of its switches. This ensures ...
    • A Reliable Modular Based PV-Battery Hybrid System with Peak Shaving Capability 

      Sohail, Umer; Nademi, Hamed; Norum, Lars Einar (Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018)
      The driving factors in emerging photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery-energy-storage systems (BESS) are highly scalable feature, modular and flexible structures with superior transformerless performance. The feasibility of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) to operate without overall DC-link allows the integration of PV generators and battery strings with its submodules (SMs), whereas each SM acts ...
