Demonstration of Scalable Series-Connected Submodule of Modular Multilevel Converter-based Arbitrary Wave shape Generator used for High Voltage Testing from Off-the-Shelf Component

To test high-voltage (HV) equipment with increasingly complex transients obtained from various power system studies, this article demonstrates a hardware implementation of a medium-voltage (MV) submodule (SM) to be used in a modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based HV arbitrary wave shape generator (AWG). The MV SM is scalable with its own...

Selecting a suitable battery technology for the photovoltaic battery integrated module

The use of batteries is indispensable in stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the physical integration of a battery pack and a PV panel in one device enables this concept while easing the installation and system scaling. However, the influence of high temperatures is one of the main challenges of placing a solar panel close to a battery...
