This paper presents the review of identify the different types of faults in the induction motor during online condition by using current and voltage signature analysis. Special attention is focused on the effect of both space distribution of rotor breakage and rotor dis-symmetry on the mechanism of generation of diagnosis signatures with the consideration of voltage supply unbalance and speed ripples. A comparison is made between the voltage signature analysis and current signature analysis. Keywords: Fault diagnosis, Induction motor, rotor breakage, MCSA, Motor voltage signature analysis (MVSA).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v1i1.64

The high power consumption of conventional street lighting systems, and the consequences on environmental ecosystem due to continuous turning ON of light, have led researchers to seek solutions to this problem. LED light dimming system has been presented in many studies using computerized systems with or without wireless monitoring facility. The demerits of these systems include complexity, high cost and unfixed data transfer speed. This paper proposes to reduce power consumption of street lighting through a decentralized light dimming system that is based on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). This is in addition to replacing conventional high power lamps with lower power LED lamps. The dimming control circuit of this system is fixed on each pole and controlled individually resulting in faster and more reliable response. The proposed system uses the available infrastructure and is suitable for small or main streets regardless of the number of light poles. It is also flexible in its coverage distance due to the freedom of motion detector selection. The advantages of using LED lighting on the environment as compared to conventional lighting are explained. Simulations reveal the effectiveness of the proposed system on energy saving and on the environment.

This paper presents the effect of total harmonic distortion (THD) in power factor correction (PFC) at non-linear load. This study focuses on the relationship between THD and PFC. This is beacuse,the power factor affects THD. This occurs in power system as we have variety of loads, i. e linear load or non-linear load. The variety of loads will influence the sinusoidal waveform, which comes out from harmonic distortion. Thus, based on this study, we can compare the effective method in improving the power factor as it will not disturb the performance of THD. The focus of study is on the single phase load, where the voltage restriction is 240 V. The analysis will only focus on the consumer, which depends on the variety of non-linear load. Besides, the parameters for analysis are based on the percentage of THD and the value of power factor. The instrument for measuring the parameter is based on power factor correction device or technique. On the other hand, the method that was used for this study is based on simulation which incorporated the Multisim software. At the end of ths study, we can choose the most effective method that can be used to improve the power factor correction without disturbing the THD.

The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) appears to be the unique solution when the process is too complex for analysis by conventional techniques or when the available information data are interpreted qualitatively, inexactly or with uncertainty. In literature, the proposed FLC in general consists of two inputs (error and derivative of error) and one output. The number of membership functions is chosen in most cases to be five or seven regardless of the approach used for the design. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) approach to optimize the two inputs one output FLC with seven membership functions to one input one output FLC with three membership functions without compromising accuracy. The study is applied to control a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) in voltage sag/swell mitigation. The results of simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK show that the performance of the optimal FLC generated by ANFIS is comparable with the initial given FLC.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i2.5685

This paper presents a new method for single phase variable voltage inverter based on Random Pulse Width Modulation. In Random Pulse Width Modulation based inverter, the frequency spectrum of the output current and voltage waveforms becomes continuous because of the randomization of the switching function of the devices controlling the output voltages. This paper establishes a theory that if the distributions of the random numbers generated by the random source are kept within certain limit with respect to the peak value of reference sinusoidal waveform, the frequency spectrum can be controlled. On the basis of the results, a novel drive using variable tap changing transformer (optional) and adaptive random number generator, to control the ratio between the numbers generated by the random source and the reference waveform has been suggested that will guarantee a better power quality profile for a broad range of output voltages.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i1.150

This paper is intended to study and compare the operation of two methods for estimating the position/ speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) under sliding mode control. The first method is a model reference adaptive system (MRAS). The second method based on sliding mode observer (SMO). The stability condition of Sliding Mode Observer was verified using the Lyapunov method to make sure that the observer is stable in converging to the sliding mode plane. In this paper the performances of the proposed two algorithms are analyzed using SIMULINK/MATLAB. The simulations results are presented to verify the proposed sensorless control algorithms and can resolve the problem of load disturbance effects by simulations which verify that the two closed-loop control system is robust with respect to torque disturbance rejection.

This paper proposes a new topology of a cascaded multilevel inverter that utilises less number of switches than the conventional topology. The proposed topology maintains the performance of conventional 7-levels output multilevel inverter while reducing the loss of power, installation area, converter size as well as development cost. The circuit development consists of six switches and one diode. With less number of switching devices in the circuit, there will be a reduction in the gate driver circuits and also in effect fewer switches required for specific intervals of time. Simulation works have been conducted to validate the proposed MLI topology. It is envisaged that the proposed topology can be applied for the system that requires high efficiency and a low electromagnetic interference.

In this paper an experiment has been conducted to determine the online stator winding resistance of an induction motor, in industries as well as domestic purpose induction motors is largely utilized, as it has both applications of variable and constant torque operation nature. The major requirement of an electric drive system is its independent control of torque and speed; this is achieved in DC motor Drive but has more disadvantages. With the help of fast acting switching devices it is possible to independently control an induction motor. To control an induction motor drive various methods are available, direct torque control of induction motor is one of the best method of control compared to other, the only disadvantage is the torque ripple. Stator resistance is one of the parameter for the cause; hence its determination is essential. An experiment is conducted at various loads on an induction motor and then the temperature in the stator winding is noted at different instants using microcontroller, from the tabulated readings stator winding resistance is calculated and compared with the direct measurement by Volt-Ampere method. Further it is suggested that by implementing the actual online value of stator resistance of an induction motor dive torque ripple can be minimized. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i3.5649
