Multilevel inverters have become popular among high power converters for the past few years due to their high quality output waveform and low total harmonic distortions (THD). In addition, the filter size also reduces significantly to achieve a pure sine wave output. Cascaded H-Bridge topology has been recognized as the most promising among various classical topologies for multi-level inverters on the basis of its modular form and ease of design, troubleshooting, packaging and high power capabilities. However, a large number of switches are required in cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter that leads to larger system losses and an increase in cost. In this paper the modified cascaded topology is proposed to reduce the number of controlled switches without affecting the resolution of output waveform or the number of voltage levels. We achieved this by replacing some of the high cost controlled transistor switches with diodes, in the cascaded H-Bridges. Furthermore, equal voltage source sharing is also possible by using the proposed topology. Hence the proposed inverter is a type of cascaded multilevel inverter with reduced switches, better modular structure, low cost and high efficiency. The inverter design is validated using simulations and tested on hardware prototype.

The Vibration is one of the major problem in linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs). This paper present a detailed analysis of vibration in a two phase LSRM and proposes a new structure to reduce the effect. The experimental results of this paper prove that the proposed structure is well suited for conveyor application.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are becoming an increasingly popular motor of choice for its unique characteristics. The BLDC motor drive is assumed to have trapezoidal back-electromotive force (EMF), rectangular phase currents and together produces the desired torque. However, practical back-EMF waveform might not be exactly trapezoidal because of current ripple, design considerations and manufacturing limitations. The adverse effect is the torque ripple generated due to the current ripple that causes mechanical vibration, acoustic noise and affects the accuracy of speed and position control which is not desirable in motor operation. In this paper an algorithm is developed to control and minimize the generated torque ripple using Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) scheme. The efficiency improvement of slim type BLDC motor is confirmed using MATLAB environment and low cost TI Piccolo F28035 microcontroller (MC).

This paper relates the new topology and simulations of a fully differential CMOS active filter for mm wave band applications. The advantages of the differential topology over the single ended one are discussed and the quality factor is tuned to insure application requirements, including narrow bandwidth and high selectivity due to a differential negative resistance that reuses the filter’s current. Using this topology enables independent tuning of the quality factor and low power consumption while compensating the resistive loss of the filter. Very high filter performance was obtained with the simulated active inductor based active filter that was designed using CMOS 0.35 µm technology from AMS foundry and that resonates at 30 GHz with a high quality factor of Q > 500.

In this paper two configurations of solar photovoltaic energy conversion using the NPC five levels inverter for stand-alone application in south Algeria are proposed and their performances compared. The first cascade uses four separate PV sources and the second configuration use only one PV generator. In these two cases and without DC/DC converter introduced between PV source and inverter and to get a stable AC voltage, authors in propose a proportional regulator of inverter modulation index. The SVPWM technique is used in order to get the best voltage waveform. For the second configuration proposed, we introduce in the control loops another algorithm which uses the redundant vectors of space vector diagram of inverter to stabilise the DC bus voltages. A real data of temperature and solar irradiation obtained by radiometric station in Ghardaïa city in south Algeria are used to test the performance of proposed controls. The simulation results show that the inverter output voltage is stable for the two configurations proposed despite the variation of solar irradiation, temperature and load. Also, the THD obtained is in the limits of international standards. Then, the PV cascade with separate PV sources is the best solution, seeing that we do not need to use another algorithm in the control loops.
