A Wideband Fault Location Scheme for Active Distribution Systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Aboshady, F., Sumner, M., & Thomas, D. (2018). A Wideband Fault Location Scheme for Active Distribution Systems. In 2018 International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA) (891-896). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICRERA.2018.8566780

This paper proposes a fault location technique for future distribution systems with distributed generation. The technique considers the circuit analysis at the non-fundamental frequencies that are generated when a fault occurs. To consider both induc...

Sensorless Control of a Fault Tolerant Multi-level Inverter PMSM Drives in Case of an Open Circuit Fault (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Saleh, K., & Sumner, M. (2018). Sensorless Control of a Fault Tolerant Multi-level Inverter PMSM Drives in Case of an Open Circuit Fault. In 2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM) (883-888). https://doi.org/10.1109/SPEEDAM.2018.8445360

© 2018 IEEE. This paper introduces a fault tolerant multi-level inverter PMSM Drive that is capable to work in case of a single phase open circuit fault without degrading the system performance. Moreover, it can work in sensorless mode in case of an... Read More about Sensorless Control of a Fault Tolerant Multi-level Inverter PMSM Drives in Case of an Open Circuit Fault.

Sizing guidelines for grid-connected decentralised energy storage systems: single house application (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Panagiotou, K., Klumpner, C., & Sumner, M. (2018). Sizing guidelines for grid-connected decentralised energy storage systems: single house application.

Nowadays, the existing hierarchical, centrally controlled power grid faces new challenges due to the increase penetration of renewable sources, the need of implementing demand side management and the 2020 and 2050 environmental targets. A promising c... Read More about Sizing guidelines for grid-connected decentralised energy storage systems: single house application.

Wide frequency range active damping of LCL-filtered grid connected converters (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Ghanem, A., Rashed, M., Sumner, M., El-Sayes, M., & Mansy, I. (2018). Wide frequency range active damping of LCL-filtered grid connected converters.

It can be challenging to guarantee the stability of grids with many converters with LCL filters connected due to the presence of multiple resonances within the system. This paper presents an active damping technique to mitigate multiple resonance eff... Read More about Wide frequency range active damping of LCL-filtered grid connected converters.

Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Fares, A., Klumpner, C., & Sumner, M. (2018). Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs.

The overall performance of battery packs may be affected by imbalances between the series connected cells which is more likely in packs with high number of cells needed to provide a high voltage as needed for example in electric vehicles. In this cas... Read More about Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs.
