Journal Article
Burgos-Mellado, C., Cardenas-Dobson, R., Saez, D., Costabeber, A., & Sumner, M. (2019). A Control Algorithm Based on the Conservative Power Theory for Cooperative Sharing of Imbalances in 4-Wire Systems. IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 34(6), 5325-5339. https://doi.org/10.1109/tpel.2018.2869866

© 1986-2012 IEEE. A cooperative control scheme based on the conservative power theory (CPT) is proposed, which can share imbalances in three-phase four-wire droop-controlled systems. By utilizing the CPT, the balanced, unbalanced, and distorted compo...

Multi-sampled carrier-based PWM for multilevel active shunt power filters for aerospace applications (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Odavic, M., Biagini, V., Sumner, M., Zanchetta, P., & Degano, M. (2011, September). Multi-sampled carrier-based PWM for multilevel active shunt power filters for aerospace applications. Presented at IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition: Energy Conversion Innovation for a Clean Energy Future, ECCE 2011,, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Active power filters create sideband harmonics over a wide frequency range around the multiple carrier-frequency harmonics and these can encroach into the low frequency range. This issue is particularly critical when low carrier-fundamental frequency... Read More about Multi-sampled carrier-based PWM for multilevel active shunt power filters for aerospace applications.
