Presents Fundamentals of Modeling, Analysis,
and Control of Electric Power Converters for Power System Applications
Electronic (static) power conversion has gained widespread acceptance in power systems applications; electronic power converters are increasingly employed for power conversion and conditioning, compensation, and active filtering. This book presents the fundamentals for analysis and control of a specific class of high-power electronic convertersthe three-phase voltage-sourced converter (VSC). Voltage-Sourced Converters in Power Systems provides a necessary and unprecedented link between the principles of operation and the applications of voltage-sourced converters. The book:
Describes various functions that the VSC can perform in electric power systems
Covers a wide range of applications of the VSC in electric power systemsincluding wind power conversion systems
Adopts a systematic approach to the modeling and control design problems
Illustrates the control design procedures and expected performance based on a comprehensive set of examples and digital computer time-domain simulation studies
This comprehensive text presents effective techniques for mathematical modeling and control design, and helps readers understand the procedures and analysis steps. Detailed simulation case studies are included to highlight the salient points and verify the designs.
Voltage-Sourced Converters in Power Systems is an ideal reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in power engineering programs, practicing engineers who deal with grid integration and operation of distributed energy resource units, design engineers, and researchers in the area of electric power generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization.

Voltage-Sourced Converters in Power Systems
Chapter One
Electronic Power Conversion
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Historically, power-electronic converters have been predominantly employed in domestic, industrial, and information technology applications. However, due to advancements in power semiconductor and microelectronics technologies, their application in power systems has gained considerably more attention in the past two decades. Thus, power-electronic converters are increasingly utilized in power conditioning, compensation, and power filtering applications.
A power-electronic converter consists of a power circuit-which can be realized through a variety of configurations of power switches and passive components-and a control/protection system. The link between the two is through gating/switching signals and feedback control signals. This chapter briefly introduces power circuits of the most commonly used power-electronic converters for high-power applications. In the subsequent chapters, two specific configurations, that is, the two-level voltage-sourced converter (VSC) and the three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) converter, are analyzed in more detail. This book focuses on the modeling and control aspects of the two-level VSC and the three-level NPC converter. However, the presented analysis techniques and the control design methodologies are conceptually also applicable to the other families of power-electronic converters introduced in this chapter.
1.2 POWER-ELECTRONIC CONVERTERS AND CONVERTER SYSTEMS
