Electricity production is one of the country's economic strength foundations. Therefore, it has been considered to increase electricity production and it’s value-added in recent decades. In this respect, with the orientation and access to advanced technology, application and use of clean energy and renewable systems has considerable development for human energy needed. Ease of access and use of solar energy has placed it in proper position. The sun is the largest source of earth's energy supply which energy issued from it, is used by different ways to provide energy needed (fossil fuels and non-fossil). When we know that the solar radiation energy using photovoltaic systems directly and without intermediates is converting into electrical energy, it will be more important in the energy conversion systems. In this paper the during introducing of photovoltaic systems as a new energy systems, they are described types of photovoltaic cells and its applications.

The working principle of half-bridde Class D Parallel-Resonant Inverter (PRI) as power amplifier is presented in this paper. Simulation of the model is carried out using Proteus. In order to verify the simulation results, an experimental verification is done. This inverter is used to excite the PZT transducers at the suggested resonant frequency of 416 kHz with power level transferred through Acoustics Energy Transfer (AET) concept at about 80mW. As experimental outcome result, the system managed to transfer energy at 66mW to the receiver side.

This paper discusses the time-frequency transform based fault detection and classification of STATCOM (Static synchronous compensator) integrated single circuit transmission line. Here, fast-discrete S-Transform (FDST) based time-frequency transformation is proposed for evaluation of fault detection and classification including STATCOM in transmission line. The STATCOM is placed at mid-point of transmission line. The system starts processing by extracting the current signals from both end of current transformer (CT) connected in transmission line. The current signals from CT’s are fed to FDST to compute the spectral energy (SE) of phase current at both end of the line. The differential spectral energy (DSE) is evaluated by subtracting the SE obtained from sending end and SE obtained from receiving end of the line. The DSE is the key indicator for deciding the fault pattern detection and classification of transmission line. This proposed scheme is simulated using MATLAB simulink R2010a version and successfully tested under various parameter condition such as fault resistance (Rf),source impedance (SI), fault inception angle (FIA) and reverse flow of current. The proposed approach is simple, reliable and efficient as the processing speed is very fast to detect the fault within a cycle period of FDT (fault detection time).

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are employed in photovoltaic (PV) systems to make full utilization of PV array output power, which have a complex relationship between ambient temperature and solar irradiation. The power-voltage characteristic of PV array operating under partial shading conditions (PSC) exhibits multiple local maximum power points (LMPP). In this paper, an advanced algorithm has been presented to track the global maximum power point (GMPP) of PV. Compared with the Perturb and Observe (P&O) techniques, the algorithm proposed the advantages of determining the location of GMPP whether partial shading is present.

This paper presents the simulation and experimental of Class-E power amplifier which consists of a load network and a single transistor. The transistor is operated as a switch at the carrier frequency of the output signal. In general, Class-E power amplifier is often used in designing a high frequency ac power source because of its ability to satisfy the zero voltage switching (ZVS) conditions efficiently even when working at high frequencies with significant reduction in switching losses. In this paper, a 10W Class-E power amplifier is designed, constructed, and tested in the laboratory. SK40C microcontroller board with PIC16F877A is used to generate a pulse width modulation (PWM) switching signal to drive the IRF510 MOSFET. To be specific, in this paper, the effect on switching and performance at 1MHz frequency are studied in order to understand the Class-E inverter behavior. Performance parameters relationships were observed and analysed in respect to the load and duty cycle. Theoretical calculations, simulation and experimental results for optimum operation using selected component values are then compared and presented.

Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) is very popular technique in industries due to its simple designing and structure, in comparison to the direct method since it requires flux and torque estimators. This paper presents detail calculation of all values needed for the development of an indirect rotor flux oriented induction motor model fed by a current-controlled voltage source inverter. With the calculated values for 1 hp 50 Hz 3 phase induction motor; an indirect rotor flux oriented model is developed using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results are outlined and discussed.

Multilevel inverters have become popular among high power converters for the past few years due to their high quality output waveform and low total harmonic distortions (THD). In addition, the filter size also reduces significantly to achieve a pure sine wave output. Cascaded H-Bridge topology has been recognized as the most promising among various classical topologies for multi-level inverters on the basis of its modular form and ease of design, troubleshooting, packaging and high power capabilities. However, a large number of switches are required in cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter that leads to larger system losses and an increase in cost. In this paper the modified cascaded topology is proposed to reduce the number of controlled switches without affecting the resolution of output waveform or the number of voltage levels. We achieved this by replacing some of the high cost controlled transistor switches with diodes, in the cascaded H-Bridges. Furthermore, equal voltage source sharing is also possible by using the proposed topology. Hence the proposed inverter is a type of cascaded multilevel inverter with reduced switches, better modular structure, low cost and high efficiency. The inverter design is validated using simulations and tested on hardware prototype.

In this paper, the control of five-phase induction machine using Direct Torque Control (DTC) is presented. The general D-Q model of five-phase induction machine is discussed. The de-coupled control of stator flux and electromagnetic torque based on hysteresis controller similar to conventional DTC is applied to maintain the simplicity of the system. Three sets of look-up tables consist of voltage vectors with different amplitude that selects the most optimal voltage vectors according motor operation condition is proposed. This provides excellent torque dynamic control, reduces torque ripple, lower switching frequency (high efficiency) and extension of constant torque. Simulation results validate the improvement achieved.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i4.5249

This paper presents a five level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter fed IM (Induction Motor) drive for variable speed application. In general the stator current is very highly affected by the harmonic components. It can be affecting the torque to produce high torque ripple in IM at maximum to low speed region. Since the drive performances are depends on mathematical model contains the parameters variations, noise, common mode voltage, flux variation and harmonic levels of the machine. Torque ripples and voltage saturations are the most significant problems in drive application. To overcome this problem the DTFC (direct torque and flux control) technique based five-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC-5L) approach is used. The proposed control scheme uses to stator current error as variable. Through the resistance estimated PI controller rules based the selection of voltage space vector modulation technique is optimized and motor performance level has been improved. The torque & speed are successfully controlled with less torque response. The results are compared and verified with conventional three phases VSI under different control technique by Matlab/Simulink.
