Abstract

In this article, a three-phase multilevel neutral-point-clamped inverter with a modified t-type structure of switches is proposed. A pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme of the proposed inverter is also developed. The proposed topology of the multilevel inverter has the advantage of being simple, on the one hand since it does contain only semiconductors in reduced number (corresponding to the number of required voltage levels), and no other components such as switching or flying capacitors, and on the other hand, the control scheme is much simpler and more suitable for variable frequency and voltage control. The performances of this inverter are analyzed through simulations carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment on a three-phase inverter with 9 levels. In all simulations, the proposed topology is connected with R-load or RL-load without any output filter.

Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis and design of robust direct power control (DPC) for a shunt active power filter (SAPF). The study proposes a novel switching table design based on an analysis of the impact of inverter switching vectors on the derivatives of instantaneous reactive and active powers. The goal is to reduce the number of commutations by eliminating null vectors while maintaining the desired DC-bus voltage using a PI regulator-based anti windup technique. Additionally, a robust PLL structure-based band pass multivariate filter (BPMVF) is utilized to enhance the network voltage. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of the suggested power control through extensive simulation results, showing high performance in both transient and steady-state conditions. The proposed approach offers the advantages of sinusoidal network current, and unitary power factor, and eliminates the need for current regulators and coordinate transformations or PWM generators. Further research directions could explore the practical implementation and real-world performance of this technique in power systems.

Abstract

Achieving high efficiency in photovoltaic (PV) systems under fluctuating irradiance and temperature conditions relies on effective maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques. Among the most commonly adopted approaches, perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC) are favored for their ease of implementation and operational flexibility. Nevertheless, a systematic comparison of their performance under dynamic conditions remains limited. This study conducts a comparative evaluation of P&O and INC algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink, with emphasis on tracking accuracy, convergence speed, and overall efficiency. A standard PV module is exposed to rapid variations in irradiance and temperature to examine algorithm robustness. The results indicate that although P&O achieves fast convergence in steady-state operation, it exhibits noticeable oscillations around the maximum power point, resulting in efficiency losses of up to 3%. Conversely, the INC method offers improved tracking precision and reduced oscillations, yielding efficiency gains of 2-4% over P&O in dynamic environments. These findings underline the trade-off between algorithmic simplicity and tracking accuracy, and provide practical guidance for selecting MPPT strategies in both grid-connected and standalone PV applications.
