Switched-inductor quasi-impedance source inverter (SL-qZSI) with high gain fed five-phase induction motor drive for electric vehicle (EV) applications is proposed in this paper. Multi-phase electric machines have been predicted for application where the entire system should have better reliability and demanded power per phase is low especially for autonomous applications like EVs. To supply variable voltage and frequency to multi-phase machines, multi-phase inverters are required. SL-qZSI offers enhanced boost capability with respect to traditional impedance source converters by inserting three diodes and only one inductor to the basic quasi-impedance source inverter (qZSI). Also, SL-qZSI offers withstanding capability during voltage dip results line harmonics are diminished; enhances reliability of inverter; and extended output voltage range. The key idea of this paper is to design and develop a high performance and highly reliable SL-qZSI fed five-phase Induction Motor drive and validate the proposed system depends on results of Simulation with the help of MATLAB; these findings were comparable to the similar type of existing converters. We can notice from the performance analysis of the proposed system that it can provide enhanced voltage boosting capability and proved that it has significant potential for the suggested multi-phase variable speed drive (VSD) system.

Renewable energy generations have been employed throughout the world in order to meet the increasing load demand. It is a pollution free and abundantly accessible. The generation cost has been reduced because of more research advancement. Photovoltaic (PV) can’t generate throughout the day due to weather condition. In order to maintain the continuity of power generation a hybrid renewable generation system (HRGS) concept has been considered in this research work. HRGS is an integration of more than one renewable energy which consists of PV, wind, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), an auxiliary unit (AU). AU is used as a backup generation which can generate power when all the renewable energy fails to generate. AU may be of diesel generator (DG) or super capacitor. This paper discusses the various parts of HRGS and its comparison. Furthermore, its impact of energy management so as to deliver the energy to the grid in a continuous and reliable manner. Therefore, a detail study of different component of HRGS & renewable energy has been highlighted which will be helpful for the new researchers for advancement of power generation and its control strategy of energy management connected to the grid.

Multilevel inverters are having high demand in high power applications. It works in medium voltage range. In this converter, for specific time intervals fewer switches will be conducting so switching loss is also reduced. This paper represents overall total harmonic distortion (THD) for different levels and different carrier frequencies. Switching loss, conduction loss of inverter has been discussed and hence inverter efficiency can be calculated. Phase displacement pulse width modulation method has been proposed in order to generate pulses. The proposed topology is well presented by its practical implementation with two current direct sources. All the simulations are being carried out using MATLAB/Simulink platform to validate the hardware results.

Gaseous exhausts from various industries pollute the environment with fly-ash generally filtered by electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) before being released to the atmosphere. This paper presents the development of a controller for ESP power supply. The controller maintains the voltage applied to ESP at its maximum average value by duty cycle control that results in an improvement in dust collection-efficiency. The limiting factor for the output voltage is the breakdown of gas (spark/arc) in the electrode gap of ESP. During a spark/arc condition, the duty cycle limit imposed by the controller causes a reduction in output voltage that leads to the prevention of spark/arc. The present design has a response faster than line frequency power supply controllers. The control circuit is simpler, easy to implement and uses a standard PWM controller IC. The design of power stage uses a flyback current-fed push-pull DC-DC converter with multiple secondary circuits, which has the advantages of instantaneous current limit and less voltage stress on rectifier-diodes. Simulation is performed to obtain a 1 kV, 100 W output from a 24VDC source. The results are compared with experimental values to validate the controller’s ability to achieve good load regulation during normal operation and a reduction in output voltage during spark/arc condition.

The power output performance of a photovoltaic (PV) module decreases as the temperature increases. The increase in module temperature above the standard test conditions (25 ⁰C) could reduce the average power output by at least 0.2% for each 1 ⁰C rise. Hence, keeping the module temperature low is necessary for PV systems exposed to high solar irradiance throughout the year. Therefore, this study aims to experimentally analyse the eletctrical performance of passively cooled PV modules in the tropics. The developed cooling approach consists of rectangular plate fins made of aluminum 6061, attached to the rear surface of tedlar layer. The results indicated that the average module temperature reduction of 3.25 ⁰C was observed under outdoor exposures. As a result, the heat sink improved the overall power output up to 14.2%. As the PV performances are site-dependent, these findings are beneficial as it provides a thorough explanation of fin heat sink behavior under long-term field exposures of tropics.

In electrical protection, there is a method of electrical protection of buildings against atmospheric discharges called the electro-geometric method or the rolling sphere method. So far, it is possible to achieve the implementation of this method graphically, that is, representing through plans and technical drawings, the protection conditions of the analyzed structure and obtaining from these graphic representations the protection parameters with the consequent errors caused by the scales and dimensions of the work plane. In the present work, a mathematical model is obtained that allows, using specific calculations, to analyze the dynamic behavior of a protection system against atmospheric discharges without worrying about the limitations given by the scales and planes. The set of equations obtained in the model allows us to determine the different parameters that define the protection system against atmospheric discharges (lightning) without depending on the graphical representation of the system's topology.

Voltage-unbalance is one of the power quality deficiencies that degrades electrical power systems performance. In this work, voltage unbalance problem is tackled through two stages; evaluation using a novel performance index and mitigation using a thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) compensator with artificial intelligent (AI) based models. Unlike standard performance indices that rely on voltages' root mean square (RMS) values, the proposed index depends on the space vector (SV) signal amplitude for voltage unbalance evaluation. This signal depends on the instantaneous values of the three-phase voltages and has twice the system frequency. Therefore, the proposed index entitled as space vector unbalance factor (SVUF) reflects the amount of voltage unbalance and reduces the time necessary for evaluation by half. Subsequently, advanced models based on several algorithms are proposed to generate the required firing angles for TCR compensator to restore voltage balance, including radial basis functions networks (RBFNs), hybrid-RBFNs (H-RBFNs), polynomials (PNs), and simplified neural networks (NNs). Models' structure, prediction capability, and response time are analyzed. Results show that the time required for voltage unbalance mitigation is reduced. Moreover, the models used to generate the firing angles are simplified significantly while maintaining high accuracy.

Most of the fully automated industries are mainly depending on the single and multi-drive system based on their requirements. In this paper, to investigate the power quality problems in a distributed multi drive system connected to the common uncontrolled rectifier is considered. Uncontrolled rectifier is mainly used as a front-end converter to feed direct current (DC) supply to the same rating of two voltage source inverters with induction motors as a multi-drive system. To analyse the effectiveness of the system the two drive systems are operated in different time period. Then, both are operated simultaneously to monitor the power quality issues, due to the front-end converter present in the system. In both the cases the harmonics in source current is not within the limits of IEEE recommended practices. Therefore, to reduce the harmonic content present in the current at source, a shunt active power filter is implemented. The effect of two drive systems operated at the same time is analysed first. Then, active filter is injected in between the source and the multi-drive system in parallel to improve the power quality of the grid system. The individual and multi-drive drive systems are analysed with the simulation results.

The simplified phase-dispositional modulation technique is easily assembled with proposed universal voltage-current reference controller for significant functioning of DCMLI-MDUPQC device. The operation and performance of proposed model and its control scheme is evaluated with MATLAB/Simulink computational tool, simulation results are presented.

Class-E power amplifiers are integrated into many applications because their simple design and high performance. The efficiency of the power amplifier is significantly impacted by the nonlinear characteristic of the switching device, which is not analyzed clearly in theory. The nonlinear drain-to-source parasitic capacitance of the power transistor and the linear external capacitance are both contributed to the optimum conditions for obtaining the exact shunt capacitance. In this paper, a high-efficiency class-E power amplifier with shunt capacitance is designed with the consideration of both linear and nonlinear capacitance. Furthermore, a mathematical analysis is derived to calculate the component values in order to design the class-E power amplifier. Consequently, high power-added efficiency of 94.6% is obtained using MRF9030 MOSFET transistor with parameter of 4W output power and 13.56 MHz operating frequency. Finally, the measurement result of a linear class-E power amplifier circuit is obtained to compare and realize the efficiency of the proposed work.
