| Summary: | High penetration of green energy has driven conventional utility grids into smart grids to accommodate dc appliances and various types of dc equipment, increasing effectiveness, efficiency, and resilience. In a smart grid, ac is harmonized with dc, and therefore, a multi-function converter is required to transfer power between ac and dc grids. This paper presents system configuration, operational principle and control of multi-function high-power converters for smart-grid applications. Simulated and experimental results from a 350 kVA converter are used to verify the feasibility of the proposed system configuration and control. |
