Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue on the topic of “Advances in Power Quality and Electrical Machines”.

Respective elements of a power system, including generators and energy receivers, are exposed to power quality disturbances such as voltage deviation, unbalance and waveform distortion. Their occurrence results in various harmful phenomena. In electrical machines, power quality disturbances cause among the other things an increase in power losses, efficiency reduction, overheating, excessive vibration and torsional vibration. To compound this problem, the work of electrical machines may also generate power quality disturbances.

For this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of original contributions and review papers regarding power-quality-related phenomena in asynchronous and synchronous machines. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to, power losses, heating, vibration and torsional vibration of electrical machines, the effect of the work of electrical machines on power quality, and the protection of electrical machines against malfunctions due to excessive power quality disturbances. Proposals of power quality standards modification are also welcome.

This paper presents a passive concentrator for single-phase inverters with a three-phase output, which uses magnetically coupled reactors. Due to the development of renewable energy systems, the proposed systems may enable the easier integration of converters in the form of inverters with the power system. Two variants of cooperation of the concentrator with single-phase voltage inverters were considered. The first variant proposed a system topology in which three single-phase full-bridge inverters were connected to the concentrator, while the other variant proposed six half-bridge inverters. A control system of the inverters that does not use PWM was developed. A common star point was created for the supply voltages in the form of a capacitive divider covering all the inverters. An analysis of the concentrator system was presented, taking into account the cooperation with inverters. The overall power of the TDSλ system was defined and the relationship for its determination was given. Simulation studies were described, presenting the obtained voltage and current waveforms. The impact of changing the supply voltage of the inverters on the operation of the concentrator and the shape of the output voltages was assessed. The proposed systems allow you to connect 3 or 6 single-phase inverters. The use of magnetically coupled reactors enables the use of a magnetic system of lower power and size. The described concentrators enable the generation of multi-level three-phase output voltage with a low THD content. Full article
