This paper presents new modified space vector pulse width modulation techniques (Phase disposition-Space vector pulse width modulation, Alternative Phase Opposition disposition- Space vector pulse width modulation and Phase Opposition disposition-Space vector pulse width modulation) are analyzed for three-phase cascaded multi-level inverter fed induction motor from the point of view of the Phase voltages, line voltage, stator current,speed,torque and Total harmonic distortion.in the proposed modified technique the reference signals are generated by adding offset voltage to the reference phase voltages.This modified SVPWM technique does not involve region indentification,sector identification for switching vector determination as are required in the conventional multi level SVPWM technique,it is also reduces the computation time compared to the conventional space vector PWM technique.The necessary calculations for generation of new modified SVPWM for the modulation strategies have presented in detail. It is observed that the modified SVPWM modulation ensures excellent, close to optimized pulse distribution results and THD is compared to for five-level, seven-level, nine-level and eleven-level Cascaded H-Bride Multi-level Inverter fed to Induction motor. Theoretical investigations were confirmed by the digital simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

This paper presents a comparative study of field-oriented control(FOC), conventional direct torque control(DTC) and proposed space vector modulated direct torque control with low pass filter(SVM-DTC). The main characteristics of FOC, DTC and proposed SVM-DTC schemes are studied by simulation, emphasizing their advantages and disadvantages. The performance of three control schemes is evaluated in terms of torque, current ripples and transient responses. It is shown that the proposed scheme improves the performance by combining a low torque, current ripple characteristics with fast torque dynamics.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i2.207

This paper proposes a reduced switch Open-Delta (OD-VSC) voltage controller for an standalone asynchronous generator (SAG), also known as the self-excited induction generator (SEIG),used in constant power applications such as pico hydro uncontrolled turbine driven isolated induction generator (IAG) for feeding three-phase loads. The proposed reduced switch voltage controller is used to regulate and control the generator terminal voltage as it is subjected to voltage drops, dips or flickers when the isolated power system is subjected to various critical loads. Generally this purpose is carried out by a STATCOM comprising of a three-leg six-switch inverter structure. Here, in this work the DSTATCOM is realized using a three-leg four-switch insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based current controlled voltage-sourced converter (CC-VSC) and a self-supporting dc bus containing two split capacitors. The proposed generating system along with the controller is modeled and simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and power system blockset (PSB) toolboxes. The system is simulated and the capability of the isolated generating system along with the reduced switch based voltage controller is presented here where the generator feeds linear and non-linear loads are investigated.

Major portion of nonlinear loads in industries are contributed by variable speed drives because of their desirable features such as energy saving, smooth control, flexible operation and fast response. These electric drives introduce large amount of current and voltage harmonic distortions at the point of common coupling. These distortions are propagated throughout the system and affect all other loads connected in the system. Hence these distortions are to be mitigated with suitable harmonic filters installed near to the respective load terminals. This paper presents an effective ANN based digital controller for shunt hybrid harmonic filter to provide instantaneous harmonic and reactive compensation. The performance of the adaptive shunt hybrid filter is verified by simulation and experimental studies under steady state and dynamic conditions. The results show that it is an effective, flexible and low rated hybrid filter configuration.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i4.6319

We introduce in this paper a new FPGA-based Maximum Power Tracker for photovoltaic systems. The developed approach targets to modify the perturb and observe in view of reaching rapid tracking and achieving excellent accuracy, while keeping the stability performance and the reduced complexity. To perform this improvement, an automatic and smart two steps switcher is integrated, in addition inputs FIR filters are incorporated. Therefore, a high sampling frequency is attained, and consequently the tracking speed is improved. MATLAB simulations and the Xilinx FPGA implementation results show that the improved approach reaches a performance very close to the recently published MPPT methods, with lesser complexity.

Process machines with tougher duty cycles are subjected to wide fluctuations in load torque. These often need a bulky flywheel for torque equalization with disadvantages of torsional oscillations. This results into fatigue of mechanical power transmission elements leading subsequently to equipment failure causing prolonged and frequent down time which results into financial losses. A simpler acceptable alternative is proposed in this article. Suitably monitored VVVf drives and low moment of inertia offer a much better alternative, for improving the system behavior drastically. Controlling the power input to the main electric drive with VVVf technique can generate almost matching demand torque characteristics. A much smaller flywheel is able to improve the accuracy to have better torque matching. This paper deals with estimation of necessary moment of inertia of flywheel in view of minimizing the difference in the required demand torque characteristics and the generated supply torque characteristics.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i3.881

Due to increasing demand in power, the integration of renewable sources like wind generation into power system is gaining much importance nowadays. The heavy penetration of wind power into the power system leads to many integration issues mainly due to the intermittent nature of the wind and the desirability for variable speed operation of the generators. As the wind power generation depends on the wind speed, its integration into the grid has noticeable influence on the system stability and becomes an important issue especially when a fault occurs on the grid. The protective disconnection of a large amount of wind power during a fault will be an unacceptable consequence and threatens the power system stability. With the increasing use of wind turbines employing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology, it becomes a necessity to investigate their behavior during grid faults and support them with fault ride through capability. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a doubly fed induction generator according to grid code compatibility driven by a wind turbine connected to the grid. This paper analyses the voltage sag due to a three-phase fault in the wind connected grid. A control strategy including a crowbar circuit has been developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK to bypass the rotor over currents during grid fault to enhance the fault ride through capability and to maintain system stability. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies in DFIG based grid connected wind turbine system.

The use of multilevel inverters has become popular in recent years for high-power applications. Multilevel Inverters are power converter systems composed by an array of power semiconductor sources that when properly connected and controlled can generate a multistep voltage waveform with variable and controllable frequency, phase and amplitude. This study deals with the comparison of a 7-level inverter with a 9-level inverter system; the voltage source inverters (VSI) are modelled and simulated using MATLAB Simulink and the results are presented. The test results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in terms of computational efficiency as well as the capability of the inverter to produce very low distorted voltage with low-switching losses. This research aims to extend the knowledge about the performance of different clamped multilevel inverter through harmonic analysis. Simulations results validate up to the mark performance of the mentioned topologies.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6190
