Real Time Simulation of Power Electronic Converters

Power Electronic Converters has become a key component for many applications such as electric drive system, renewable based generation system, microgrid etc. Power electronics are the integral part of most of the distributed energy technologies, for converting the power generated into useful power that can be directly used in the grid or for any other applications. Power electronic convertersacquiredsignificance as an active system for improving quality of power asit offers a great flexibility and can be configured as universal compensators for compensating load harmonics, unbalances, reactive power, flicker, etc. In this paper, different topologies of power converters such as AC-DC, DC-DC and DC-AC have been discussed and results are validated in the real-time simulation.
