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

In this study, a 27-levelinverter with a reduced switch asymmetrical cascaded H-bridge (CHB) with fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is proposed. With series connections, a low voltage converter, a middle level voltage converter, and a high voltage converter make up the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The configuration of the asymmetrical inverter uses trinary DCsources. To acquire switching signals for the trinary inverter-based STATCOM to compensate for real power, load voltage, reactive power, load current, and power factor under load changing conditions, FLC is constructed. With fewer switches, the suggested arrangement produces greater voltage levels. The performance of the reduced switch asymmetrical cascaded H-bridge inverter-STATCOM with FLCis simulated using the MATLAB Simulink platform under both static and dynamic load conditions. When compared to reduced switch asymmetrical cascaded H-bridge inverter-STATCOM with traditional proportional integral (PI) controller, the FLC result demonstrates efficient unbalanced load compensation. The FLC in the proposed inverter also lowers the total harmonic distortion.
