Wind turbine-energy storage control system for delivering constant demand power shared by DFIGs through droop characteristics (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Fazeli, M., Asher, G., Klumpner, C., Bozhko, S., Yao, L., & Bazargan, M. (2009). Wind turbine-energy storage control system for delivering constant demand power shared by DFIGs through droop characteristics. In 2009 13th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications

This paper investigates embedding Energy Storage (ES) with multiple wind turbines in order to deliver to the grid a smooth and constant power as demanded by the system operator. The demand power is shared by DFIGs proportional to their ratings utiliz...

A cost-effective solution to power the gate drivers of multilevel inverters using the bootstrap power supply technique (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Klumpner, C., & Shattock, N. (2009). A cost-effective solution to power the gate drivers of multilevel inverters using the bootstrap power supply technique. In 2009 Twenty-Fourth Annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition. https://doi.org/10.1109/APEC.2009.4802910

Multilevel inverters are traditionally seen as a step forward in DC/AC conversion, providing more output voltage levels, better quality of the generated waveform and lower switching losses than the two-level and can process higher voltages with a giv...

Experimental evaluation of hybrid cycloconverters (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Klumpner, C., Xu, T., & Clare, J. C. (2009). Experimental evaluation of hybrid cycloconverters. In 2009 Twenty-Fourth Annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition. https://doi.org/10.1109/APEC.2009.4802737

Power converters consisting of naturally commutated thyristors such as cycloconverters and current source inverters were the first used in driving electrical motors with variable speed but now due to their inferior performance compared to forced comm...
