With the wide application of nonlinear and electronically switched devices in distribution systems, the power quality problem becomes more serious. This paper deals with Unified Power Quality Condition (UPQC) which is an integration of series active filter and shunt active filter. The main purpose of a UPQC is to compensate for current harmonics and voltage harmonics. It has the capability of improving power quality at the point of installation on power distribution systems. The paper discusses the compensation principle and different control strategies of the UPQC in detail. The performance of UPQC is examined by considering, a diode rectifier feeding an RL load (non linear load) that acts as a source of harmonics, feeding harmonics into the three-phase distribution system of concern. The performance is also observed under influence of utility side disturbances such as sag, swell, and flicker. This control strategy guarantees sinusoidal, balanced and minimized source currents even under unbalanced and / or distorted system voltages. The control strategies are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK and simulation results are presented to validate the proposed control strategy.Keywords—UPQC, Power Quality, Harmonics, Load Balancing, Power Factor Correction, MATLAB/SIMULINKDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v1i1.35

The DC motors an outstanding portion of apparatus in automotive and automation industrial applications requiring variable speed and load characteristics due to its ease of controllability. Creating an interface control system for multi DC motor drive operations with centralized speed control, from small-scale models to large industrial applications much demand. By using Lab VIEW (laboratory virtual instrument engineering workbench) as the motor controller, can control a DC motor for multiple purposes using single software environment. The aim of this paper is to propose the centralized speed control of DC motor using Lab VIEW. Here, the Lab VIEW is used for simulating the motor, whereas the input armature voltage of the DC motor is controlled using a virtual Knob in Lab VIEW software. The hardware part of the system (DC motor) and the software (in personal computer) are interfaced using a data acquisition card (DAQ) -Model PCI- 6024E. The voltage and Speed response is obtained using LABVIEW software. Using this software, group of motors’ speed can be controlled from different location using remote telemetry. The propose work also focuses on controlling the speed of the individual DC motor using PWM scheme (Duty cycle based Square wave generation) and DAQ. Help of the DAQ along with Lab VIEW front panel window, the DC motor speed and directions can be change easily in remote way. In order to test the proposed system the laboratory model for an 80W DC motor group (multi drive) is developed for different angular displacements and directions of the motor. The simulation model and experimental results conforms the advantages and robustness of the proposed centralized speed control.

This paper proposes a new Modified hybrid modulation scheme for cascaded multilevel inverter. The proposed method employs novel single carrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation with its negative cycle biased (HNHCBM) for reducing switching losses when compared to other sinusoidal modulation methods using a hybrid scheme. This scheme is a derivative of various single carrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation scheme and main advantages are reduced harmonics, enhanced output voltage, reduced power loss in the series cells and ease of implementation. The simulation results are analysed with matlab/simulink and compared with experimental results obtained using DSP processor TMS320F2407 by applying it to 5-level inverter and the results are summarized.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i2.5696

DC-DC buck converters are used for battery chargers in many applications including renewable energy sources, inverters, electric vehicles and robots. In this paper a buck converter was built and its controller was developed using peak current control mode for current loop and phase lag for voltage loop. This paper proposes a formulation of plant disturbance due to load variation to obtain a nominal model based on small signal approach. The controller was derived analytically based on the nominal model. Experiment results show that the buck control system functions well in regulating the output voltage. During the start up without any load it can reduce input voltage from 300 V to output voltage of 133.9 V in 19.3 ms. The developed controller can maintain the output voltage under load variation from no load to sudden load of 0.26 A. When it was implemented to charge a lead acid battery string, constant current of 3.36 A was charged in the first 173 minutes followed by constant voltage of 134.7 V until the end of charging at time 483 minutes. Thus, the developed control system of lead acid battery charger works well.

Bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) combines the characteristic of the conventional permanent magent synchronous motor and magnetic bearing in one electric motor. BPMSM is a kind of high performance motor due to having both advantages of PMSM and magnetic bearing with simple structure, high efficiency, and reasonable cost. The research on BPMSM is to design and analyse BPMSM by using Maxwell 2-Dimensional of ANSYS Finite Element Method (FEM). Independent suspension force model and bearingless PMSM model are developed by using the method of suspension force. Then, the mathematical model of electromagnetic torque and radial suspension force has been developed by using Matlab/Simulink. The relation between force, current, distance and other parameter are determined. This research covered the principle of suspension force, the mathematical model, FEM analysis and digital control system of bearingless PMSM. This kind of motor is widely used in high speed application such as compressors, pumps and turbines.

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the most intriguing and, potentially, the most versatile classes of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The UPFC is a device which can control simultaneously tree parameters line impedance, voltage, phase angle and dynamic compensation of AC power system. In order to analyse its true effects on power systems, it is important to model its constraints, due to various ratings and operating limits. This paper reviews on the different models of UPFC used in recent years and gives sets of information for each model of the UPFC in AC transmission. Then the different models are compared and features of each model are examined.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i3.5982
