Identification and Small-Signal Analysis of Interaction Modes in VSC MTDC Systems
Beerten, Jef; D'Arco, Salvatore; Suul, Jon Are Wold (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In this paper, a methodology is presented to identify and analyze interaction modes between converters in voltage-source converter multiterminal high-voltage direct current (VSC MTDC) systems. The absence of a substantial ... -
Impedance computation for power electronic converters with Hilbert transform
Sanchez Acevedo, Santiago; Tedeschi, Elisabetta; Bergna-Diaz, Gilbert; D'Arco, Salvatore; Sanz, Marina (Chapter, 2017)The Hilbert transform (HT) is widely used in signal processing and it has been found as a good tool to understand some physical phenomena in electrical systems. This paper presents a methodology to derive the input impedance ... -

Freytes, Julian; Bergna Diaz, Gilbert; Suul, Jon Are Wold; D'Arco, Salvatore; Gruson, Francois; Colas, Frederic; Saad, Hani; Guillaud, Xavier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The DC-side dynamics of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs) can be prone to poorly damped oscillations or stability problems when the second harmonic components of the arm currents are mitigated by a Circulating Current ... -
Lab Setup and Testing of Lithium-Ion Batteries with Focus on Dynamic and Aging Modeling
Molund, Eirik (Master thesis, 2013)This report presents the work on making a lab setup for testing of different types of batteries in the energy storage lab at NTNU/SINTEF. A complete lab setup has been made and two different LiFePO4 chemistry cells of size ... -
Limitations and Guidelines for Damage Estimation Based on Lifetime Models for High-Power IGBTs in Realistic Application Conditions
Antonopoulos, Antonios; D'Arco, Salvatore; Hernes, Magnar; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Statistical lifetime models for high-power IGBTs are developed based on results from power-cycling experiments, and relate lifetime expectancy to the well-defined conditions of a laboratory experiment. In most cases, ... -
Online Parameter Adjustment Method for Arm Voltage Estimation of the Modular Multilevel Converter
Taffese, Abel Assegid; de Jong, Erik; D'Arco, Salvatore; Tedeschi, Elisabetta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The method used to calculate insertion indexes plays an important role in determining the overall performance of the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC). Direct voltage control, which is the simplest option, results in a ... -

Power oscillation damping with virtual capacitance support from modular multilevel converters
Taffese, Abel Assegid; Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu; D'Arco, Salvatore; Tedeschi, Elisabetta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Power oscillation damping (POD) is one of the ancillary services expected from high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converters. When providing POD to the ac side, converters draw power from the dc side, which can cause ... -
