In recent years, permanent magnet machines have become a common choice in many industrial applications. Therefore, several structures have been developed, and the choice of a topology designed for a specified application requires the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of different topologies. The present work deals with the evaluation of the performances of different radial flux surface-mounted permanent magnet motors designed for an electric vehicle motor application. The objective of this survey is to show the effect of the rotor position (inner or outer) and the magnets segmentation on the machine output torque and iron losses. In this context, four machines with: (i) inner rotor, (ii) inner rotor segmented magnets, (iii) outer rotor and (iv) outer rotor segmented magnets have been designed and studied. All these machines have the same geometrical dimensions and current loading. The main idea is to develop a machine with smoothness torque, lower torque ondulation, lower iron losses, and which is mechanically robust. Firstly, the output torque of the different structure is computed. Secondly, by means of an improved analytical model coupled with 2 dimensional transient finite element analysis (FEA), the machines iron losses are predicted.

Various Resonant Converters for high voltage and high power applications have been designed. Different Topologies of LLC, LCC, and CLL Resonant Converters have been simulated and compared for the same input voltage. The simulation was done at a very high frequency. The Output Power and the Efficiency of all the three Resonant Converters were calculated.With the results, it has been proved that LCC Resonant Converters were very much suited to give an output voltage of around 62 Kilovolts with a output power of 20 kilowatts.

Major depletion of fossil fuel and the increase of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, chloroflurocarbons (CFCs), hydroflurocarbon (HFCs), perflurocarbons (PFCs) and Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) worldwide are the catalyst for the interest of many counties towards renewable energy. The rising cost of electricity due to higher demand and less resource also led to the renewable energy venture. One of the most famous renewable energy is solar energy. Unfortunately, renewable energies are dependent on environment conditions, too. One of the major problems that affect the output energy of the solar panel is the cloud shadowing problem. Photovoltaic solar and wind hybrid system is capable to reduce the effects of the cloud shadowing by harvesting two different energy resources. However, the availability of wind energy harvesting has shown its instability performance. In this work, the photovoltaic solar array of the laboratory-scale single axis solar tracking system to maximize the output energy of the solar panel is examined experimentally. The solar array is connected in series and parallel configurations, and is experimented under different partical-shadowed conditions. The experimentation is done to develop a solar array that has a minimum effect towards this type of occurances. Experimental results proved that the parallel configured solar panel has showed less influence by the cloud shadowing as compared to the single one.

In recent day’s Multilevel inverter (MLI) technologies become a incredibly main choice in the area of high power medium voltage energy control. Though multilevel inverter has a number of advantages it has drawbacks in the vein of higher levels because of using more number of semiconductor switches. This may leads to vast size and price of the inverter is very high. So in order to overcome this problem the new multilevel inverter is proposed with reduced number of switches. The proposed method is well suited for a high power application and it built with three Dc sources and six Switches. Multi carrier pwm technique is used for sine wave generation. The results are validated through the harmonic spectrum of the FFT window by using Matlab/simulink. The result of the proposed MLI is compared with the conventional MLI and other seven level existing topologies.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6089

This paper proposes new topology of five-phase inverter with reduced number of switches fed indirect rotor field oriented five phase induction motor. It employs only eight IGBT switches preformed five phase inverter. The reduction of the number of power switches from ten to eight improves the cost-effectiveness, volume-compactness and reliability of five-phase induction motor drive system. Simulation model of the proposed drive system is developed using the Matlab/Simulink package and analyzed to verify the effectiveness at different operating conditions of this approach. The comparison between the performance of the five phase motor under classical ten switch inverter and new topology at the same operation conditions has been illustrated. The proposed system gives similar operations as classical ten switch inverter for a certain range of motor speed and load torque. The DC voltage of proposed inverter must be compensated to higher value to achieve same performance of classical ten switch inverter in all range of motor speed and load torque.

Monitoring and diagnosis of power transformer in power systems have been examined and debated significantly in last few decades. Recently, more researchers have expressed their interest in these issues as the utilities and network operators operating under a rising cost-effecting pressure. Especially, in studying to monitor winding faults which is found to be the most common fault within transformers. This paper addresses the issue of the effect of inter-windings short circuit fault in a Dyn11 connected transformer. The specific aim is to study the effect of fault at winding of other phases to the response of measured phase. Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) which is discovered to be a powerful and sensitive method to examine and evaluate the condition, including the mechanical reliability of the transformer windings is used.

Novel AZSPWM algorithms based on the concept of imaginary switching times (IST) are presented in this paper for vector controlled induction motor drive to reduce the common mode voltage (CMV) variations. The proposed algorithms did not use the information of angle and sector and hence reduces the complexity involved in the conventional space vector PWM (CSVPWM) approach. The proposed AZSPWM algorithms did not use zero voltage vectors and involves utilizing the two adjacent voltage vectors along with two opposing active voltage vectors with equal duty cycle to provide cancellation and create an effective zero state. Moreover, these algorithms are developed based on the concept of imaginary switching times, the computational burden involved in the conventional algorithms can be decreased. To verify these algorithms, numerical simulation studies have been carried out and results are presented and compared with the CSVPWM algorithm.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i1.1337

This paper presents a new single switched inductor- capacitor coupled transformer-less high gain DC-DC converter which can be used in renewable energy sources like PV, fuel cell in which the low DC output voltage is to be converted into high dc output voltage. With the varying low input voltages, the output of DC-DC converter remains same and does not change. A state space model of the converter is also presented in the paper. This constant output voltage is obtained by close loop control of converter using PID controller. High voltage gain of 10 is obtained without use of transformer. All the simulations are done in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment.

This paper presents the control for Shunt Active Power (SAPF) filter in photovoltaic (PV) systems connected to the grid. The proposed configuration of the system consists of a photovoltaic array that connected to the grid through the three-phase inverter topology that also serves as an active filter. Photovoltaic is coupled in parallel with the direct curret (DC) side of the active filter. With this configuration, can be obtained three advantages, namely the elimination of harmonic currents caused by nonlinear load, reactive power injection, and injection of active power generated photovoltaic. The p-q Theory is used to calculate the harmonic reference current to be used to control the active filter coupled fotovoltaic in generating anti-harmonic currents. The results show that system can reduce harmonic distortion from THD 27.22% to be THD 1.05%, whereas when the active power from photovoltaic injected, the THD become 2.01%. Power sharing can also be seen from this study.
