Abstract

In this research, modified PWM has been applied to the multilevel inverter (MLI) single-phase three-level diode clamp full bridge. Modified PWM is performed to produce minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) the voltage because the quality of the good voltage is indicated by small THD. The THD indicates the quality of AC voltage source. The THD standard by the IEEE STD 519-1992 Harmonic Voltage Limits is 5% and the Pacific Corp standard is 8%, if the THD value is greater than the THD standard it can cause the electronic load to be damaged due to the damaged waveform. Modified PWM is applied by adding a 50 Hz sinusoidal reference signal with a sinusoidal signal which has a certain amplitude, frequency and phase shift angle. The frequency of the adder signal is the frequency at which the value of the individual harmonic voltage appears (n harmonic). To get maximum result, optimization using Genetic Algorithm (GA) method to determinate amplitude & phase shift angle done. The result of implementation hardware with modified PWM shows smaller THD voltage compared to the THD voltage with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) switching up to 0.19 or decrease 65,51 % for modified PWM of harmonic injection n = 7 with GA optimization ma= 0.8 (A=0.0936 and ø = 0 rad) and up to 0.08 or decrease 12,30 % for modified PWM of harmonic injection n = 22 with GA optimization ma = 0.4 (A=0.1221 and ø = 0 rad).

Abstract

Regenerative bicycle trainers support more sustainable indoor cycling by converting a rider’s kinetic energy into electrical energy while producing a controllable resistive load. For a realistic riding feel, the relationship between commanded braking current and pedal torque must be accurately defined. This study develops and validates an empirical current-torque model for a trainer based on a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor using a second-order polynomial. Experiments were conducted on two sprocket configurations (32-tooth and 12-tooth), with 11 braking current setpoints ranging from 0 to 10 A under steady-state conditions. The model was evaluated through its inverse form using five torque setpoints for each configuration. Results show strong agreement with experimental data, with coefficients of determination ( ) exceeding 0.998. The 12T configuration achieves higher accuracy, with a Mean Percentage Error of 1.55%, compared to 9.20% for the 32T configuration. This is likely due to improved torque transmission and more stable friction drive behaviour at higher loads. Negative quadratic coefficients indicate mild nonlinearities consistent with magnetic saturation. The model is suitable for feedforward control, enabling realistic torque simulation without requiring expensive external torque sensors.
