Impedance sensitive STATCOM control for systems supported by renewable generation (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Reactive power control is known to be an effective means of controlling voltage; however, for optimal performance, the system reactance must be known. Power systems with high re-newable energy penetration have been known to have voltage stability iss...

Method of efficiently predicting the conducted emissions of multiple VSCs (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Various types of power converters including Voltage Source Converters (VSCs) have been known to produce conducted emissions. The net effect of simultaneously operating multiple VSCs is non-linear and this makes the prediction of the emission level mo...
