This paper proposes a sliding mode control strategy for a three-phase shunt active power filter. The SAPF consists of four-leg voltage source inverter bridge. The SAPF ensures full compensation for harmonic phase currents, harmonic neutral current, reactive power compensation and unbalanced nonlinear load currents. The modulation task can be carried out with three dimensional space vector modulation, which operate under a constant switching frequency. The simulation results show that the performance of the four-leg SAPF with the proposed control algorithm – compared with PI controller - is found considerably effective and adequate to compensate harmonics, reactive power, neutral current and balance load currents.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i2.2012

The aim of this research is to provide a high performance vector control of single-phase Induction Motor (IM) drives. It is shown that in the rotating reference frame, the single-phase IM equations can be separated into forward and backward equations with the balanced structure. Based on this, a method for vector control of the single-phase IM, using two modified Rotor Field-Oriented Control (RFOC) algorithms is presented. In order to accommodate forward and backward rotor fluxes in the presented controller, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with two different forward and backward currents that are switched interchangeably (switching forward and backward EKF), is proposed. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Electric power quality is a critical issue for electric utilities and their customers and identification of the power quality disturbances is an important task in power system monitoring and protection. Offline processing of power quality disturbances provides an economic alternative for electric distribution companies, not capable of buying enough number of power quality analyzers for monitoring the disturbances online. Due to the wide frequency range of the disturbances which may happen in a power system, a high sampling rate is necessary for digital processing of the disturbances. Therefore, a large volume of data must be processed for this purpose for each node of an electric distribution network and such a processing has not yet been practical. However, thanks to the rapid developments of digital processors and computer networks, processing big databases is not so hard today. Apache Hadoop is an open-source software framework that allows for the distributed processing of large datasets using simple programming models. In this paper, application of Hadoop distributed computing software for offline processing of power quality disturbances is proposed and it is shown that this application makes such a processing possible and leads to a very cheaper system with widespread usage, compared to the power quality analyzers.

With the increase in demand for electrical energy, electrical networks must constantly work near their stability limits faster and more flexible. These grids are often subject to disturbances such as short circuits which cause the loss of stability of generators and the entire network. In this work we present two different approaches to PSS (power system stabilizer), the conventional PSS and multiband PSS in order to improve transient stability of multimachine network. The latter is subjected to a short-circuit current with a duration of 200ms just 350 km from the first generator. Multiband PSS offers an additional advantage since it produces a signal stabilizing not only from the variation of the angular velocity of the rotor as well as electrical power. Instead of one, it uses three filters (Lead/Lag) independent, each optimized for vibration damping local oscillations between interconnected networks and global oscillations. Different simulations were performed using the software matlab sympower system.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i3.3905

The current electric drive of industrial manipulators is implemented on the principle of speed control and position of the actuator, often do not provide actuator motion as consistent with required process specifications. Taking into account the disadvantages of existing control systems the new approach to control systems engineering and implementation of industrial manipulators electric drives using force balancing systems of actuator efforts control was proposed. Application properties and implementation of efforts control systems inside springy gears and mechanisms of industrial manipulators have been studied. The efficient structure of electromechanical system, which provides the desired balance the transfer object weight and dampening of manipulators mechanical gears springy oscillations is proved. The studies were performed on mathematical modeling and the prototype of industrial manipulators, which confirmed the performance of control system potential structure application and synthesized effort regulator which provide the required performance factor. The potential electromechanical force balancing systems is ably to increase industrial manipulators performance quality, provides transfer and the desired positioning of load directly by operator. Possibility of efficient application the scope increase of industrial manipulators using the potential force balancing systems of efforts control is defined.

This paper presents a high voltage conversion at high sensitivity RF energy harvesting system for IoT applications. The harvesting system comprises bulk-to-source (BTMOS) differential-drive based rectifier to produce a high efficiency RF energy harvesting system. Low-pass upward impedance matching network is applied at the rectifier input to increase the sensitivity and output voltage. Dual-oxide-thickness transistors are used in the rectifier circuit to maintain the power efficiency at each stage of the rectifier. The system is designed using 0.18µm Silterra RF in deep n-well process technology and achieves 4.07V output at -16dBm sensitivity without the need of complex auxiliary control circuit and DC-DC charge-pump circuit. The system is targeted for urban environment.

Reduction of circulating current is one of the major considerations in inverter fed electrical drives. Diode clamped MLI enables higher output current per phase, thereby rating of the drive gets increased effectively. Various methods of triggering in the inverter legs creates better voltage profile and leads to the enabling of circulating current in the drive system. The induced circulating current flows through the apparatus neutral (N) and supply ground (G) is caused by the existence of parasitic capacitance. This circulating current may cause potential danger especially when parasitic capacitance poses large. In the past, different modulation techniques and conversion topologies have been introduced to minimize the flow of circulating current. However, these techniques lead to complexity, high cost, low voltage profile and efficiency due to lower modulation parameters. This paper proposes PS, POD, PD carrier shifting PWM algorithms for diode clamped MLI to tumbling the circulating current within the each phase of inverter legs. The performances of proposed algorithm, in terms of circulating current, THD, losses and efficiencies are analyzed theoreticallyand are validated via simulation and experimental results.

Every solar energy harvester systems has got two sources of energy loss: the MPPT circuit and the dc–dc converter. To increase the efficiency of the PV energy harvester, the energy losses from the MPPT circuit and the dc–dc converter need to be minimized. Here a new MPPT algorithm called successive approximation register is introduced. This MPPT algorithm has got a power down mode and a fast tracking time, to achieve low power consumption and energy savings. With this MPPT algorithm energy losses from the MPPT circuit can be minimized and this technique can be greatly applicable to low power application systems mainly as well as for high power application.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i4.4556

This paper discusses about the detection and replacement of the switches in inverter under fault. The detection of switch is done through measuring the phase and line voltages of inverter. The replacement of the open switch is done through the extra arm provided in the circuit. The firing of the extra arm is done by detecting the open switch fault and interrupting the processor to provide the firing to the extra arm switch. This paper gives simple and effective detection and replacement of open switch. The replacement of switch will be done without stopping the whole system and saves the unspecified time. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the detection and replacement. A feasible test is implemented by building a proto type three-phase impedance source inverter, which is designed and controlled on the basis of proposed considerations. It is verified from the practical point of view that this new approach is more effective and acceptable to minimize the distortion. Keywords: SMPS – Switch Mode Power Supply, pulse width modulation (PWM), VSI –Voltage Source Inverter.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v1i1.67

This paper presents the analysis study between multilevel inverters that are often classified into multilevel voltage source and multilevel current source inverters. For multilevel voltage source inverter (MVSI), the specific topology studied for this work is the Cascaded H-Bridge MVSI. Whereas, the multilevel current source inverter (MCSI) is based on Paralleled Inductor Configuration MCSI. For this study, the analysis between these converters are done with respect to the number of components, the advantages and disadvantages of each converters during performing inverter operation. In term of output voltage and current quality, the percentage of the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) are measured and compared for both topologies. MATLAB/Simulink software has been used in this research to design and simulate in order to study the performances of both inverters.
