TL;DR: In this article, a new approach is developed using an existing single-phase power electronics inverter to make a wideband impedance measurement at its interface using a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) voltage perturbation and digital network analyzer techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a protection scheme for zonal MVDC systems that allows fault isolation and ride-through of unfaulted zones, where a supervisory controller coordinates the actions of mechanical contactors and a switching power converter to achieve the protection and reconfiguration function necessary in MVDCs.

TL;DR: In this article, a wide-bandwidth small-amplitude test sequence is injected into the PWM control signal and an accurate estimation of the output impedance is obtained without external equipment, which can then be leveraged to tune the inverter's digital deadbeat controller for optimal performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present two tools to address system level control issues in power electronic distribution systems: the positive feedforward control technique and the digital network analyzer method, which can at the same time control its output voltage and stabilize the input DC bus.
