A theoretical study had been carried out on the effect of radiation on the electrical properties of silicon power diodes. Computer program "PDRAD2013" was developed to solve the diode equations and to introduce the operating conditions and radiation effects upon its parameters. Temperature increase interrupts the electrical properties of the diode in the direction of drop voltage decrease across the p-n junction.. The model was analyzed under the influence of different radiation type (gamma-rays, neutrons, protons and electrons) with various dose levels and energies. The carriers diffusion length were seriously affected leading to a large increase in the forward voltage. These effects were found to be function of radiation type, fluence and energy.

As multilevel inverters are gaining increasing importance .New topologies are being proposed in order to achieve large number of levels in output voltage. A simplified MLI topology has been presented with both symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations. This paper represents a comprehensive analysis of above mentioned topology with FFT analysis,switching and conduction losses of the inverter.Hence efficiency at different carrier frequencies has been calculated successfully.Results are verified with simulation studies.Multilevel inverters are currently considered as a better industrial solution for high dynamic performance and power-quality demanding applications, covering a wide power range.

In this paper, a hybrid power system is proposed to eliminate any interruption caused to absence of power supply network by the Fusion between the wind source and the photovoltaic source to create a hybrid system with internal power supply autonomy. The hybrid power system includes a solar and wind source whose wind energy conversion system is based on a doubly fed induction generator. The photovoltaic conversion system extracts the maximum power from the sun. A part of this power is used to supply the rotor of a doubly fed induction generator; the rest is injected in the grid. The connection between the two conversion systems is made by means of static converters (chopper/inverter). In the photovoltaic conversion chain, a controller for tracking the maximum power point is designed using the direct search approach the Perturb and observe method. The wind energy conversion system contains a doubly fed asynchronous generator with a control system of generated powers by the technique of the fuzzy logic. The simulation was done to prove the validity of the strategy and of the control method used for the control of the power generated by the hybrid system.

The burst-mode control is generally used to regulate the output voltage of the ac/dc adapter under light or no-load condition. Although the burst-mode control reduces the switching loss, the control-IC and the feedback circuit at the output side still consume a large amount of power. In order to further reduce the power consumption at no-load condition, a zero no-load power (ZNP) ac/dc adapter for electronic equipment with an embedded battery is proposed in this paper. When the proposed adapter is load connected, the operation is same as that of the conventional adapter. At no-load condition, the adapter is totally turned off. As a result the adapter can reduce the no-load power consumption to less than 1mW. Simulation of a 65 W adapter is presented in order to verify its validity.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i3.5669

This paper presents a study on a new full bridge series resonant converter (SRC) with wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) range, and higher output voltage. The high frequency transformer is connected in series with the LC series resonant tank. The tank inductance is therefore increased; all switches having the ability to turn on at ZVS, with lower switching frequency than the LC tank resonant frequency. Moreover, the step-up high frequency (HF) transformer design steps are introduced in order to increase the output voltage to overcome the gain limitation of the conventional SRC. Compared to the conventional SRC, the proposed converter has higher energy conversion, able to increase the ZVS range by 36%, and provide much higher output power. Finally, the a laboratory prototypes of the both converters with the same resonant tank parameters and input voltage are examined based on 1 and 2.2 kW power respectively, for veryfing the reliability of the performance and the operation principles of both converters.

This hybrid topology operates mainly delivered the power from renewable energy sources solar/wind to dc bus. In the absence of any one source, wind or solar supplies power to the dc bus. Without any renewable energy sources battery deliver the power to dc bus.An inverter type module convert the power from dc bus to ac grid. In this paper effectiveness of hybrid renewable energy is simulated through MATLAB/SIMULINK

The reduction of torque ripple is the main target in research for designing a variable drive system with switched reluctance motors (SRM) for higher torque density and better efficiency. This ripple is due to the transition of excitation current between the adjacent phases. Precise control of turn-on and turn off angle is required to smooth the torque. In this paper, the effects of selecting the turn-on and turn-off angles are simulated in detail. It is observed that with the extended turn-on and turn off angles, the precise selection of turn-on and turn off angle can alter the shape of the excitation current in the stator coil and its point of overlapping with the adjacent coil. Therefore the transition between different phases can be smoothed out. The impact of this alteration on the excitation current and torque ripple as a function of different parameters of dwell angle is studied in detail in this paper. It is found that a sinusoidal current shape can also be obtained with the proper selection of these parameters.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i2.236

The main components of a Stand-Alone Photovoltaic (SAPV) system consists of PV array, DC-DC converter, load and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm. MPPT algorithm was used for extracting maximum available power from PV module under a particular environmental condition by controlling the duty ratio of DC-DC converter. Based on maximum power transfer theorem, by changing the duty cycle, the load resistance as seen by the source is varied and matched with the internal resistance of PV module at maximum power point (MPP) so as to transfer the maximum power. Under sudden changes in solar irradiance, the selection of MPPT algorithm’s sampling time (TS_MPPT) is very much depends on two main components of the converter circuit namely; inductor and capacitor. As the value of these components increases, the settling time of the transient response for PV voltage and current will also increase linearly. Consequently, TS_MPPT needs to be increased for accurate MPPT and therefore reduce the tracking speed. This work presents a design considerations of DC-DC Boost Converter used in SAPV system for fast and accurate MPPT algorithm. The conventional Hill Climbing (HC) algorithm has been applied to track the MPP when subjected to sudden changes in solar irradiance. By selecting the optimum value of the converter circuit components, a fast and accurate MPPT especially during sudden changes in irradiance has been realized.

Induction heating is a non-contact method of producing heat which can be used to perform various processes like hardening, annealing, tempering, welding, brazing, melting, forging, etc. This paper discusses the design and implementation of induction heating on a given work-piece, using an LLC resonant circuit and a transformer for impedance matching, so as to transfer a maximum power of 5KW to the load. The load parameters are found out using ELTA software which calculates the values based on the dimensions of the work piece, operating frequency and temperature. The inverter used is based on SiC MOSFETs which minimizes the losses at high frequencies and high temperatures. The theoretical and simulated results from MATLAB are analysed and verified. The hardware is implemented for the LLC circuit with transformer and the results are presented.
