DC motor drive system supplied by AC/DC rectifier topology considered as a nonlinear load. It produces harmonic distortions and EMI noise effects in the power systems. In this paper deals with the reduction of supply current harmonics and EMI noise generated by the power electronics converter in the DC motor drive using FFT analysis. The single boost converter along with EMI input filter is proposed in this system to investigate the harmonic reduction in the DC motor drive. The single boost converter fed DC motor drive is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results show better agreement with the proposed system.

A Photovoltaic (PV) emulator is a device that produces a similar output as the PV module and it is useful for testing the PV generation system. This paper present a new and simple control strategy for the PV emulator using the combination of the Resistance Comparison Method with the Integral Controller. The closed-loop buck converter system with the current-mode controlled and the single diode model are used for the PV emulator. The results obtained from the proposed PV emulator are compared with the conventional PV emulator using the Direct Referencing Method as the control strategy. The proposed PV emulator produces a more accurate output, 74 % faster transient response, and a lower output voltage ripple compared to the conventional PV emulator.

Many technologies are introduced in monitoring the fault occurrence in the electric motors used in industrial applications. Sound Accusation, current signature analysis, and vibration based motor fault detection systems are widely used in present years. From all these methods analyzing the motor vibration pattern produces more accuracy in finding an occurrence of different faults in the electric motor. The frequency of vibration generated by the MEMS vibration sensor differs for rotor, stator and bearing faults. The signal generated is analyzed using three important techniques namely wavelet analysis, Dyadic Transformation, and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System(WAD Technique). Hardware with ARM microcontroller and ADXL MEMS vibration sensor was used to perform signal acquisition, and the generated signal is processed using the MATLAB software, and the speed of the motor is controlled based on the processed result. The performance of the system with all three algorithms was recorded, and the efficiency of the system is compared.

This paper analyses the optimal power system planning with DGs used as real and reactive power compensator. Recently planning of DG placement reactive power compensation are the major problems in distribution system. As the requirement in the power is more the DG placement becomes important. When planned to make the DG placement, cost analysis becomes as a major concern. And if the DGs operate as reactive power compensator it is most helpful in power quality maintenance. So, this paper deals with the optimal power system planning with renewable DGs which can be used as a reactive power compensators. The problem is formulated and solved using popular meta-heuristic techniques called cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). the comparative results are presented.

This paper presents an enhanced nonlinear PID (NPID) controller to follow a preselected speed profile of brushless DC motor drive system. This objective should be achieved regardless the parameter variations, and external disturbances. The performance of enhanced NPID controller will be investigated by comparing it with linear PID control and fractional order PID (FOPID) control. These controllers are tested for both speed regulation and speed tracking. The optimal parameters values of each control technique were obtained using Genetic Algorithm (GA) based on a certain cost function. Results shows that the proposed NPID controller has better performance among other techniques (PID and FOPID controller).

A three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter consists of two six-pulse two-level active converters that enable bidirectional power flow by introducing a lag phase-shift angle of one converter with respect to the other converter. This paper explains the operating modes of a three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter in detail, taking into account the transfer of energy between the dc voltage sources and high-frequency ac inductances in the three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter. The power flow of the dc-dc converter is also examined based on the operating modes.

This paper discusses a new test vessel developed to investigate the breakdown test performance of gas insulation. The test vessel is equipped with certain specialty including pressure chamber and control measures. Through help from a steering, it is provide of controlling the gap length of the electrodes without the need of removing the gas. Other control measures include humidity, temperature, and pressure readings. The humidity and temperature are read wirelessly and from the readings, the necessary atmospheric corrections can be made according to standards. The developed vessel is then tested with AC breakdown test using air with various gap lengths and various electrode configurations. There are two types of electrode configuration used in this project i.e., rod (R0.5)-plane and plane-plane.

In order to meet the increase in energy demand globally it is necessary to harness renewable energy at its maximum potential for the purpose of electric power generation. For the achievement of high output voltage and efficiency DC-DC converters plays a vital role in low voltage PV array and fuel cells. LUO converters are gaining importance because of geometric progression output. . LUO converters find its application because of high transient performance of the system, high power transfer gain, efficiency and reduced ripple .Because of load and line disturbances the output voltage of DC-DC converter must be operated in closed loop mode. This paper interpolates multitudinous controller for positive output elementary super lift LUO converter (POESLL). The pursuance of the converter under manifold such as variation in input, load are developed and compared for current mode controller and SMC.

The extensive use of non-linear loads in industry becomes increasingly a serious problem that affects the quality of energy delivered to customers. Therefore, the shunt active power filter (SAPF) has emerged as an important industrial tool to eliminate induced harmonic currents and compensating of reactive power. This paper proposes an improved control configuration for SAPF based on a modern technique called predictive direct power control (Predictive-DPC). The principle of this control is based on the direct regulation of the instantaneous active and reactive powers to guarantee a good energy quality on the grid side. For this purpose the appropriate average voltage vector which cancels power tracking errors is calculated by a simple predictive model at the bigining of each control period. This type of control includes various features such as the lack of look up table (LUTs) and closed current loops and the constant switching frequency is achieved through the use of PWM modulation. The results of the simulation process show a high performance in the steady and transient state function for predictive-DPC control that might be a reasonable alternative to conventional DPC in the field of active power filtering.
