The Seventh Letter: A Discussion of Myles Burnyeat and Michael Frede, The Pseudo-Platonic Seventh Letter
No full textBurnyeat and Frede argue that the seventh of the letters ascribed to Plato is no more genuine than any other letter purporting to be from a philosopher before Epicurus; that its true author is far too remote from Plato for it to give any reliable evidence about Plato’s thoughts and activities; and that it is to be appreciated as a fine tragedy in prose. This review criticizes some of the details of their arguments, while endorsing and amplifying their conclusion
Reactive power influence on the thermal cycling of multi-MW wind power inverter
No full textIn this paper the reactive power influence on the thermal cycling of power devices in grid-connected inverter for 10 MW wind turbines is investigated. Restrained by the grid codes, the allowable reactive power ranges in relation to amplitude and phase angle of the load current for a single converter system are first presented at different wind speeds. Furthermore, the interaction between paralleled converter systems in a wind park is also considered and analyzed. By controlling the reactive power circulated among paralleled converters, a new concept is then proposed to stabilize the thermal fluctuation of the power devices during wind gusts. It is concluded that the reactive power may change the thermal distribution of power devices. By properly controlling the reactive power, it is possible to achieve a more stable junction temperature in the power devices during the fluctuation of wind speed, and thereby could provide a new way to improve the reliability of the wind power conversion system

No full textControl and modulation techniques of Z-source converter
No full textThis chapter presents an overview of control and modulation techniques for Z-source converters (ZSCs) used for electric power conversion. ZSCs are categorized into four main categories: DC/DC converters, DC/AC inverters, AC/AC converters, and AC/DC rectifiers. ZSCs are further classified into voltage-fed or current-fed, and non–transformer based or transformer coupled-inductor based. Modulation techniques for traditional three-phase H-bridge topologies (two-level) are classified as sine pulse width modulation and space vector modulation, with several modifications available in the literature. Modulation techniques for three-phase multilevel topologies, matrix topologies, and DC/DC converters with an intermediate H-bridge are also discussed. The impact of modulation strategies on the reliability and harmonics of impedance-source inverters is analyzed. The control strategy of ZSCs is also discussed, with various closed-loop control methods presented in the literature. The chapter concludes that proper modulation and control techniques are necessary to achieve the maximal voltage boost and minimal harmonic distortion, lower semiconductor stress, and minimal number of devices commutation per switching cycle in ZSCs

Energy Saving and Efficient Energy Use By Power Electronic Systems
No full textIn the development of the modern society, one of the key factors is to save energy in order to become more independent of other energy resources. Two important approaches can be taken—one is to change behavior and thereby save energy—the second one is to develop new technology which is able to save energy in different applications. This chapter will give an overview of challenges and possibilities in terms of energy saving and also energy efficient use. This includes a discussion on high efficiency power electronics devices and the systems they are used for energy loss reduction. The key enabling technologies are power electronics, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as well as systems to carry the electrical energy through power transmission, conversion and distribution. A couple of examples will be given to demonstrate the energy saving possibilities by power electronics systems, such as in the applications of adjustable speed drives and solid-state lighting systems. Power electronics gives also a high flexibility when renewable power production is introduced to electrical energy systems. Future research opportunities and challenges will finally be discussed
Switched-boost-based multilevel inverters
No full textMultilevel voltage source inverters/converters (ML-VSIs) with an integrated voltage-boosting feature have been popular in recent years as an interface between the provided low-magnitude DC voltage and standard 220V rms grid voltage. The voltage-boosting feature is achieved with an integrated switched-capacitor (SC) or a switched-boost (SB) technique, while the circuit configuration of the resulting ML-VSIs can be based on a standard half-bridge-based design or a common-ground/midpoint-clamp-based structure. The critical challenges for SC-based ML-VSIs are the discontinuous nature of the input current, pulsating current stress over devices, and the static ratio of the voltage-conversion gain. These challenges require that researchers go through either a two-stage-based boost-integrated design with a front-end DC–DC boost converter or a single-stage SB-based ML-VSI with inherent dynamic voltage-conversion gain. This chapter investigates the state-of-the-art contributions of boost-integrated ML-VSIs and provides insights for overcoming critical challenges like excessive current stress and the inrush current problem. The chapter also outlines the relatively new concept of SB-based MLIs, while the working principles of several recently proposed structures are reviewed and compared
