This article addresses this gap by presenting a comprehensive review of common dc-link MLCs, covering their topological evolution, features, topologies comparison, modulation techniques, control strategies, and industrial application areas. Additionally, future perspectives and recommendations are discussed to provide researchers and engineers with a better understanding of the potential applications and advantages of these converters.1.Introduction. Considering the major evolutionary stages o

Voltage instability is a serious phenomenon that can occur in a power system because of critical or stressed conditions. To prevent voltage collapse caused by such instability, accurate voltage collapse prediction is necessary for power system planning and operation. This paper proposes a novel collapse prediction index (NCPI) to assess the voltage stability conditions of the power system and the critical conditions of lines. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed index are investi

This paper proposes a novel configuration of a dual UPQC supplied by a dual photovoltaic (PV), hereinafter referred to as 2UPQC-2PV,to improve the power quality performance of a single-phase 220 V/50 Hz distribution system. The 2UPQC-2PV configuration is proposed to anticipate the possible failure of both inverters in one of the UPQC circuits. The PV array replaces the DC-link capacitor to maintain its voltage connected to the DC-link of the UPQC constant while at the same time supplying active

The recent discovery that the input impedance of digital impedance circuits is dependent on the external source impedance requires the development of new design procedures to address the significant complexity of this discovery. These circuits are of particular utility for the implementation of difficult non-Foster impedances such as negative capacitance. Therefore, a new digital impedance circuit design procedure is presented where stable digital filter coefficients are computed to provide desi

A novel PET for a distribution grid called a flexible power distribution unit is proposed in this paper, and the energy exchange mechanism between the network and the load is revealed. A 30 kW 600 VAC/220 VAC/110 VDC medium-frequency isolated prototype is developed and demonstrated. This paper also presents key control strategies of the PET for electrical distribution grid applications, especially under grid voltage disturbance conditions. Moreover, stability issues related to the grid-connected
