Adaptive phase synchronization techniques for unbalanced and distorted three-phase voltage system
DownloadFall 2010
Interfacing and operating AC power electronic systems requires rapid and accurate estimation of the phase angle of the power source, and specifically of the positive sequence of the three-phase utility grid voltage. This is needed to ensure reliable operation of the power control devices and of...
