Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to 4-quadrant speed control of a direct current (DC) motor based on the use of a semi-Z source inverter which has 2 active switches and 2 switching states. The semi-Z source inverter topology is analyzed for design purposes and results and relationships are discussed. The objective of this simulation is to design and analyze the performance of closed loop speed control of a DC motor using a semi-Z source inverter under realistic operating conditions. The findings of this project can be useful for designing several household appliances as well as systems like lathe machines, hoists, conveyors, and fans. Closed loop system designed for automatic speed control of a DC motor is obtained by using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed system works as intended.

Abstract

Most of the fully automated industries are mainly depending on the single and multi-drive system based on their requirements. In this paper, to investigate the power quality problems in a distributed multi drive system connected to the common uncontrolled rectifier is considered. Uncontrolled rectifier is mainly used as a front-end converter to feed direct current (DC) supply to the same rating of two voltage source inverters with induction motors as a multi-drive system. To analyse the effectiveness of the system the two drive systems are operated in different time period. Then, both are operated simultaneously to monitor the power quality issues, due to the front-end converter present in the system. In both the cases the harmonics in source current is not within the limits of IEEE recommended practices. Therefore, to reduce the harmonic content present in the current at source, a shunt active power filter is implemented. The effect of two drive systems operated at the same time is analysed first. Then, active filter is injected in between the source and the multi-drive system in parallel to improve the power quality of the grid system. The individual and multi-drive drive systems are analysed with the simulation results.

Abstract

This paper elucidates the realization of multicarrier pulse width modulation (MC-PWM) based 7-level Z-source cascaded H-bridge inverter. MC-PWM technique is developed to generate switching pulses for Z-source inverter; it leads to boost the inverter output voltage with help of shoot through mode of operation. The output of Z-source inverter is connected to 7-level cascaded H-bridge inverter. Cascaded H-bridge inverter system much suitable for AC load drive, high voltage and high power and industrial applications. This proposed system provides reduced total harmonic distortion, improved stepped output voltage and current, nearly sinusoidal output voltage and reduced voltage stress across the switching devices. The inductors and capacitors values are selected based on the boosting level of Z-source inverter. The simulation results of proposed 7-level Z-source cascaded H-bridge inverter with MC-PWM technique is verified using MATLAB/Simulink.

Abstract

A high step-up dc-dc converter based on a switched capacitor-coupled inductor (SC-CL) with voltage multiplier cells is proposed. It is composed of a SC-CL and a voltage multiplier module stacked on the load side. SC-CL produces the maximum output voltage with maximum voltage gain. These features make the projected converter suitable for renewable energy applications such as solar photovoltaic (PV). A low turn ratio of the coupled inductor is used for realizing the higher gain. It consists of a voltage boost unit SC-CL and a voltage multiplier module. In a DC micro-grid, PV energy is one of the utmost significant sources of power. Since the PV source voltage is very low, a very high voltage gain converter is required for a DC microgrid. Here, a step-up DC-DC converter topology with a very high voltage gain characteristic is proposed. The projected converter was simulated by MATLAB/Simulink to convert 30 V to 380 V.

Abstract

A novel matrix converter has been developed for 3-phase to 5-phase conversion using a novel space vector pulse width modulation. The matrix converter organized to generate 5-phase AC output voltage from 3-phase input voltage with help of SVPWM method; bidirectional power switches placed in matrix converter controlled by appropriate switching pulse. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) provides better utilization of applied input voltage, improved output voltage, reduced total harmonic distortion. The bidirectional switch used by the matrix converter decreases stress on the power switch and the influence of harmonic fluctuation in AC output voltage. When compared to traditional approaches, the suggested system offers improved output voltage and current control. Using MATLAB/Simulink and FPGA-cyclone controller, respectively, modelling and experimental results have been given to validate the proposed methodology.

Abstract

Solar energy is the most generally accessible energy in the entire globe. Proper solar panel maintenance is necessary to reduce reliance on imported energy. Continuous monitoring of the solar panel's power output is required. The deployment of internet of things (IoT) monitoring of solar panels for maintenance is the basis for the current research. A multi-variable long-term photovoltaic (PV) power production prediction approach based on support vector machine (SVM) is developed in this study with the aim of completely evaluating the influence of PV panels performance and actual operational state factors on the power generation efficiency. This study examines the use of SVM and climatic factors to forecast the long-term output of power from solar panels. A solar power facility in a semi-arid area provided the data utilized in this investigation. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and sun radiation are some of the meteorological variables that were considered in the study. To anticipate the power generation of the panels, the SVM is trained using the climatic factors and the power generation data. The findings demonstrate that the SVM model consistently predicts the panels' long-term power generation with a high degree of accuracy.
