Abstract :
A novel GPG (gate pulse generator) for gate-turn-off converters (GTOs) is presented that provides quick-response firing-angle control and pulse width-modulated (PWM) control. Using the GPG, instantaneous control of active and reactive powers for an SMES (superconducting magnetic energy storage) system using one GTO converter is studied.<>
