Rojas, Felix; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Kennel, Ralph; Clare, Jon C.; Díaz, Matías (IEEE Inst Electrical and Electronic Engineering Inc., 2017)To interface generation sources and loads to fourwire distribution networks it is important to use power converters and modulation methods, which provide high performance, flexibility, and reliability. To achieve these ...

Mora, Andrés; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Urrutia, Matías; Rettig Espinoza, Mauricio Alfredo; Díaz, Matías (IEEE, 2020)The problems associated with active power oscillations (APOs) in grid-connected converters are well-known. Imbalances in the grid usually produce double-frequency oscillations in the dc-link voltage and current which could ...

Espinoza, Mauricio; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Díaz, Matías; Clare, Jon C. (IEEE, 2017)Modular multilevel converters (M2C) are considered an attractive solution for high power drive applications. However, energy balancing within the converter is complex to achieve, particularly when the machine is operating ...

Analysis and Experimental Validation of Control Systems for Four-Leg Matrix Converter Applications Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Juri, Carlos; Peña, Rubén; Clare, Jon; Wheeler, Patrick (IEEE, 2012-01)Matrix Converters (MCs) have some advantages when compared to conventional back-to-back PWM voltage source converters. The converter may be considered more reliable and it can be smaller because the bulky dc capacitors are ...

Carrasco, Gonzalo; Silva, César; Peña, Rubén; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a topology for a three-phase generation system for an isolated unbalanced load fed by a doubly fed induction generator with a neutral wire to include single-phase loads. The challenges of unbalanced ...

Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Peña, Rubén; Wheeler, Patrick; Clare, Jon; Juri, Carlos (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012-07)In this paper a new control system for a 4-leg Matrix Converter (MC) feeding an isolated load is discussed. The proposed system is appropriate for wind-diesel schemes or any other application where a path for the circulation ...

Durán, Alberto; Ibaceta, Efraín; Díaz, Matías; Rojas, Félix; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Chávez, Héctor (MDPI, 2020)The modular multilevel matrix converter has been proposed as a suitable option for high power applications such as flexible AC transmission systems. Among flexible AC transmission systems, the unified power flow controller ...

Díaz, Matías; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Espinoza, Mauricio; Rojas, Felix; Mora, Andrés; Clare, Jon C.; Wheeler, Pat (IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017)The nominal power of single wind energy conversion systems (WECS) has been steadily increasing, now reaching power ratings close to 10 MW. In the power conversion stage, medium-voltage power converters are replacing the ...

Aravena, José; Carrasco, Dante; Díaz, Matías; Uriarte, Matías; Rojas, Félix; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Travieso, Juan (MDPI, 2020)In recent years, different off-the-shelf solutions for the rapid control prototyping of power electronics converters have been commercialised. The main benefits of those systems are based on a fast and easy-to-use environment ...

Burgos Mellado, Claudio Danilo; Llanos Proaño, Jacqueline; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Sáez Hueichapan, Doris (IEEE, 2020)A distributed control system is proposed which uses the Conservative Power Theory (CPT) and a consensus algorithm to share imbalance and harmonics between different converters in three-phase four-wire droop-controlled ...
-
Gómez Quintero, Juan Sebastián; Sáez Hueichapan, Doris; Simpson Porco, John; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús (IEEE, 2020)Distributed control schemes have transformed frequency and voltage regulation into a local task in distributed generators (DGs) rather than by a central secondary controller. A distributed scheme is based on information ...
-
Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Díaz, Matías; Rojas, Félix; Clare, Jon (IEEE, 2015)Delayed signal cancellation is one of the methods used to separate the negative- and positive-sequence components in unbalanced systems. In this letter, a DSC methodology with fast convergence time is proposed and it ...

Donoso, Felipe; Mora, Andrés; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Angulo, Alejandro; Sáez Hueichapán, Doris; Rivera, Marco (IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)In this paper, finite-set model-predictive control (FS-MPC) methodologies for a grid-connected three-level neutral-point-clamped converter are investigated. The proposed control strategies produce fixed switching frequency, ...

Mora, Andrés; Orellana, Álvaro; Juliet, Jorge; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2016)This paper presents a new and simple finite-control set model predictive control strategy to reduce the torque ripple in permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs). The method is based on minimizing a cost function that ...

Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Peña, Rubén; Clare, Jon; Wheeler, Patrick; Zanchetta, Pericle (Elsevier, 2013)Generators working with variable speed, rather than fixed speed, have many advantages, which are well documented in the literature. Higher efficiency, better power to size ratio and less mechanical stress in the system ...

Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Díaz, Matías; Rojas, Félix; Clare, Jon; Wheeler, Pat (Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2016)Owing to the high penetration of electrical energy from wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), some countries are enforcing stringent grid codes to regulate low-voltage-ride-through (LVRT) operation of WECSs. This study ...
