This paper investigates the utilization of a predictive current control for a fourport DC/DC power electronic converter with an input port, two storage portsand a load port suitable for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Being a power converterwith multiple ports, it has different operating modes. While the Stateflow con-troller is employed to handle mode selection, the predictive current controller isemployed for the inductor current control. The control laws governing each op-erating mode is derived out for valley current control. By making the inductorcurrent in the upcoming switching cycle equivalent to the reference, the duty cycleis predicted. Simulation and experimental results show improvements in currentripple minimization, faster dynamic performance and comparable to traditionalcontrol method.

Matrix converter is a good choice for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives, because it has high power density and does not require dc-link energy storage. the disadvantages of conventional matrix converter is using 18 active switches, so it becomes expensive and the modulation method becomes more complicated than back to back converter. To minimize this problem, this paper proposes variable speed drive of PMSM using Ultra Sparse Matrix Converter (USMC) based on Direct Torque Control (DTC) methods. This converter uses only 9 active switches, making it cheaper than conventional matrix converter. DTC is designed based on Space Vector Modulation (SVM) to reduce torque and flux ripples due to the hysteresis control in conventional DTC. The simulation results show that DTC based SVM using USMC effectively controls the rotor speed with low torque and flux ripples.

This paper introduces the modelling of a novel three phase AC-AC converter with indirect use of a capacitor as DC voltage link. The proposed converter has high efficiency because it uses Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) technique at both rectificier and inverter stages to operate the pulse width modulation in IGBT switches. The novel converter is equipped with a power factor control to shape the rectifier input current waveform to be sinusoidal and to be in phase with the input voltage. To keep the DC voltage stable, the converter utilizes PI controllers. Simulations are conducted for output voltage from 120 to 300 Volts with output frequency ranging from 30 Hz to 60 Hz. The simulation results show that the converter is able to maintain stable the DC voltage and current. Furthermore, the model demonstrates the benefits of proposed converter in terms of acquiring high input power factor and sinusoidal current waveform at the output side of the inverter.

Generally in a standalone system, the PV unit will charge the battery and the battery set up in turn will serve as a source for the inverter.

Non-linear loads connected to distribution system induce harmonics in to source components and the presence of harmonics in source components affects the performance of other sensitive loads connected at the same point. Induction motor load for drive system should be operated with variable frequency and variable voltage for its speed control. To vary the voltage and frequency, induction motor is fed from an inverter. This total drive set-up constitutes non-linear load type and will be the source of harmonics. This paper depicts the suppression of harmonics with STATCOM in distribution system when induction motor load is fed from SEIG (singly excited inductin generator). STATCOM is controlled with simple synchronous reference frame theory and the results are shown for source current, load current. THD in source current and load current was also shown for the said system. System for single-phase and three-phase induction motor drive was developed and results are shown using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

In this paper a hardware implementation of single-phase cascaded H-bridge three level multilevel inverter (MLI) using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) is presented. There are a few interesting features of using this configuration, where less component count, less switching losses, and improved output voltage/current waveform. The output of power inverter consists of three form, that is, square wave, modified square wave and pure sine wave. The pure sine wave and modified square wave are more expensive than square wave. The focus paper is to generate a PWM signal which control the switching of MOSFET power semiconductor. The sine wave can be created by using the concept of Schmitt-Trigger oscillator and low-pass filter topology followed by half of the waveform will be eliminated by using the circuit of precision half-wave rectifier. Waveform was inverted with 180º by circuit of inverting op-amp amplifier in order to compare saw-tooth waveform. Two of PWM signal were produced by circuit of PWM and used digital inverter to invert the two PWM signal before this PWM signal will be passed to 2 MOSFET driver and a 3-level output waveform with 45 Hz was produced. As a conclusion, a 3-level output waveform is produced with output voltage and current recorded at 22.5 Vrms and 4.5 Arms. The value of measured resistance is 0.015 Ω that cause voltage drop around 0.043 V. Based on the result obtained, the power for designed inverter is around 100W and efficiency recorded at 75%.

This paper presents a realization of fuzzy-logic hysteresis control of а single-phase on-grid inverter. The inverter used for the research is implemented by the full-bridge power circuit and it is connected to the utility grid by means of LCL filter. For the purpose of the computer simulation the relative mathematical equations are issued. The research of the model established by these equations is done by means of computer simulation with the software MATLAB/SIMULINK. The operation of the model combines two non-linear control methods - fuzzy control and hysteresis control. Simulation results and their analysis are included. The operation of the model of the inverter is analyzed in two different cases of the output power of the system - 800W and 1600W approximately.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i2.3606

The article gives the experimental results of the processes occurring in the combined system of traction and magnetic suspension, which was implemented on the basis of the linear switched reluctance motor. The goal of the research is to examine the possibility to combine the levitation and traction functions within one unit. The full- function physical model of the transport system with the magnetic suspension has been produced for experimental verification of the development concept for the combined system of traction and magnetic suspension. The research tests have been performed at the track structure with the limited length in order to study the processes, occurring in the most complicated start-up mode, when the discrete behavior of current in windings has the disturbance effect on the object levitation. The oscillograms of electromechanical transition processes, showing the mutual influence of traction subsystems and a suspension, are provided. The results of researches have illustrated dramatically that the development concept of the combined system of traction and magnetic suspension, based on the linear switched reluctance motor, is absolutely real. Further researches should be aimed at improving the system characteristics by reducing the mutual influence of levitation and traction processes.

In the current work, a thermoelectric power generation system was designed for an assessment of opportunities in terms of electricity production through the utilization of waste heat from sugarcane industries. In this study, the thermoelectric cooling of TEC1-12708T200 was appropriate for use in electric power generation from low-grade heat sources. The experiments used ten thermoelectric modules and an aluminum water block installed on the exterior surface area of a sugar boiler to achieve the same water flow as a traditional system. The results revealed that the power generation system could generate about 30 W (25.7 V, 1.17 A) at a matched load of approximately 36.8 Ω. The thermoelectric power generation system could convert 12.5% of heat energy into electrical energy. Therefore, the thermoelectric power generation system designed in this study could be an effective alternative for waste heat recovery in sugarcane industries.
