Rojas, Félix; Cárdenas, Roberto; Clare, Jon; Díaz, Matías; Pereda, Javier; Kennel, Ralph (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019)In aerospace applications, a ground power unit has to provide balanced and sinusoidal 400 Hz phase-to-neutral voltages to unbalanced and nonlinear single-phase loads. Compensation of high-order harmonics is complex, as the ...

Espinoza-B, Mauricio; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús Roberto; Clare, Jon; Soto Sánchez, Diego; Díaz, Matías; Espina, Enrique; Hackl, Christoph M. (IEEE, 2019)The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is a promising topology for high-power drive applications. However, large voltage fluctuations can be produced in the floating capacitors when the machine operates with high stator ...

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 ...

Urrutia, Matías; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús Roberto; Clare, Jon; Watson, Alan (IEEE-Inst. Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2021)In this work, a continuous-control-set model predictive control (CCS-MPC) strategy, with a saturation scheme for protection, is presented for regulating the circulating currents of a modular multilevel matrix converter ...

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 ...

Donoso Cisternas, Sergio Felipe; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús Roberto Pedro Alejandro; Espinoza, Mauricio; Clare, Jon; Mora, Andrés; Watson, Alan (IEEE, 2021)In a hybrid modular multilevel converter (MMC), capacitor voltage balance between the Full-Bridge Sub-Modules (FBSMs) and Half-Bridge Sub-Modules (HBSMs) is only possible when the arm currents are bipolar. For a grid-connected ...
-
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 ...

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 ...
