This paper presents investigations on capacitor compensation topologies with different inductive coupling links for loosely coupled inductive power transfer (IPT) system. In general, the main constraint of the loosely coupled IPT system is power losses due to the large leakage inductances. Therefore, to overcome the aforementioned problem, in this work, capacitor compensation is proposed to be used by adding an external capacitor to the system. By using this approach, the resonant inductive coupling can be achieved efficiently and hence the efficiency of the system is also increased significantly. This paper analyzes the performance of two different compensation topologies, which are primary series-secondary series (SS) and primary series- secondary parallel (SP) topology. The performance of such topologies is evaluated through the experimental results at 1MHz operating frequency for different types of inductive coupling. From the results, SS topology produces a high power transfer but SP topology gives better efficiency.

Switching frequency modulation (SFM) as spread-spectrum technique has been used for electromagnetic interference reduction in switching power converters. In this paper, a switching-frequency-modulated boost power factor correction (PFC) converter operating in continuous conduction mode is analysed in detail in terms of its input power quality. Initially, the effect of SFM on the input current total harmonic distortion, power factor and low-frequency harmonics of the PFC converter are studied by using computer simulations. Some advices on choosing parameters of SFM are given. Then the theoretical results are verified experimentally. It is shown that, from a power quality point of view, SFM can be harmful (it can significantly worsen the power quality of the PFC converter) or almost harmless. The results depend on how properly the modulation parameters are selected.

This paper presents the application of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) for mitigating the frequently occurring problems of voltage dips in autonomous systems. Consumer loads are experiencing proliferation of induction motors. The starting of induction motors draws large current causing voltage sag (dip). Autonomous Power system is comparatively less stiff than the grid connected system. Large starting current, causing objectionable voltage drop, is critical for an autonomous system. DSTATCOM can be effectively used to redeem this power quality problem. An asynchronous generator with a motor load having a DSTATCOM connected in shunt is simulated on a MATLAB platform using Simulink and Power System Block set. The simulation establishes the capability of DSTATCOM to mitigate the voltage dip problem for an autonomous system.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i2.320

In this paper, a modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM) algorithm is developed for 3-level inverter fed direct torque controlled induction motor drive (DTC-IMD). MSVPWM algorithm simplifies conventional space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm for multilevel inverter(MLI), whose complexity lies in sector/subsector/sub-subsector identification; which will commensurate with number of levels. In the proposed algorithm sectors are identified as in two level inverter and subsectors/sub-subsectors are identified by shifting the original reference vector to sector 1 (S1). This is valid due to the fact that a three level space vector plane is a composition of six two level space planes, and are symmetrical with reference to six pivot states. Switching state/sequence selection is also very important while dealing with SVPWM strategy for MLI. In the proposed algorithm out of 27 available switching states apt switching state is selected based on sector and subsector number, such that voltage ripple is considerably less. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is tested on a three level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter fed DTC-IMD. The performance of the MSVPWM algorithm is analyzed by comparing no load stator current ripple of the three level DTC-IMD with two level DTC-IMD. Significant reduction in steady state torque and flux ripple is observed. Hence, reduced acoustic noise is a distinctive facet of the proposed method.

Power electronics play a significant role in different areas of technology, more usage of power electronic devices lead to more harmonic content and various power quality issues in the system. Therefore, power quality gains more significance in the current era of research. Power electronics equipment’s with non-linear loads concludes with more harmonic disturbances and lower power factor. Harmonic impurities are the major problem ingredient due to the connection of non-linear load. To lessen the harmonics usually passive filters are used. The major objective of this work is to monitor and analyse the power quality of uninterrupted power supply by means of DAQ system that gathers real time data on the system and then the data is analysed using National Instruments LabVIEW. Once power quality analysis is done, a new technique of filter implementation using output transformer of the UPS was explored and passive filter was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and then simulated filter was implemented in order to achieve power quality improvement.

In the point of efficient heat removal from light emitting diode (LED) package to ambient, the surface of the heat sinks must be finished based on required condition. The surface finishing plays an important role in efficient heat dissipation. In our work, the top surface of heat sink was machined like two different shapes (slotted and ‘W’ shaped) and tested the thermal performance for 3W green LED. The total thermal resistance was high for ‘W’ shaped surface at 100 mA. Surface modification was not influenced much on the thermal resistance (Rth) value at higher operating current. Noticeable increase on junction temperature was observed for ‘W’ shaped surface at 100 mA than slotted surface. In optical properties, low lux values were recorded for ‘W’ shaped surface at all operating current. In addition, ‘W’ shaped surface showed low value in CRI than other two surfaces (plain and slotted). The observed CCT value was decreased as the measuring time increased. High value in CCT was observed for ‘W’ shaped surface at higher operating current (> 350mA). Slotted surface showed good performance on both thermal and optical properties of the given 3W green LED.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i4.2125

In this paper a state feedback controller for tubular linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (TLPMSM) containing two gas springs, is presented. The proposed TLPMSM controller is used to control reciprocating motions of TLPMSM. The analytical plant model of TLPMSM is a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system which is decoupled to some sub single-input single-output (SISO) systems, then, the sub SISO systems are converted to sub-state space models. Indeed, the TLPMSM state space model is decoupled to some sub-state spaces, and then, the gains of state feedback are calculated by linear quadratic regulation (LQR) method for each sub-state space separately. The controller decreases the distortions of the waveforms. The simulation results indicate the validity of the controller.
