This paper presents a fault diagnostic algorithm for detecting and locating open-circuit and short-circiut faults in switching components of matrix converters (MCs) which can be effectively used to drive a permanent magnet synchronous motor for research in critical applications. The proposed method is based on monitoring the voltages and currents of the switches. These measurements are used to evaluate the forward trans-conductance of each transistor for different values of switch voltages. These trans-conductance values are then compared to the nominal values. Under healthy conditions, the values obtained for the fault signal is less than the tolerable value. Under the open/short-circuit conditions, the fault signal exceeds the threshold, hence enables the matrix converter drive to detect and exactly identify the location of the faulty IGBT. The main advantages of this diagnostic method include fast detection and locating of the faulty IGBT, easiness of implementation and independency of the modulation strategy of the converter.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6065

This paper presented the new methodology for different control techniques applied to three phase Z-source inverter for minimisation of switching losses. The procedure for proposed control techniques and its effects on the performance of operation of three phase Z-source inverter are analyzed. The graphs for voltage gain and voltage stress are drawn for different control methods. The flow-chart for the symmetrical and unsymmetrical control techniques for creating pulse signals for switches of three phase inverter are shown. All the methods are studied and compared with each other. The Total harmonic distortion (THD) of output voltage of both the control methods has been analyzed using FFT analysis. The experiments done and the results shown for capacitor voltage, load current and load line voltage for simple boost and constant boost control techniques are presented using MATLAB/ Simulink.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6180

A simple PI control loop for the matrix converter system is designed in the simulation to maintain a constant output voltage inspite of any disturbance in the source. The single phase matrix converter employs a modified safe-commutation strategy, which results in the elimination of voltage spikes on switches, without the need of a snubber circuit when there is an inductive load being utilized. This is facilitated through the proper switching control algorithm. The sine PWM pulses are generated as switching pulses to the converter to reduce the THD.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.5340

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is becoming popular because of its simple construction, robustness and low-maintenance. This motor is very useful for high speed applications because no windings are placed on rotor and can also be used for variable speed applications in industries. Converter is one of the important elements in SRM which plays a very crucial role. In this paper various converter topologies for 6/4 switched reluctance motor and Asymmetric bridge converter topology for 8/6 switched reluctance motor are discussed. Finally a closed loop for each converter topology is proposed. The converter topologies are simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Constant speed is achieved in closed loop control.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6133

Multilevel inverters with more number of levels can produce high quality voltage waveforms. In this paper, a new single-phase structure for multilevel voltage source inverter is proposed which can generate a large number of levels with reduced number of IGBTs, gate driver circuits and diodes. Three algorithms for determination of dc voltage sources’ magnitudes are presented which provide odd and even levels at the output voltage waveform. A comparison is presented between proposed multilevel inverter and conventional cascade topology. The proposed topology is analyzed by the experimental and simulation results.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6218
