Application of soft switching in DC-DC converter has achieved a remarkable success in power electronics technology in terms of reduction in switching losses, improve in power density, minimization of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduction in the volume of DC-DC converters. Quite a number of soft switching techniques had been reported in the past four decades. This paper aims at providing a review of various soft switching techniques, based on topology, the location of the resonant network, performance characteristics, and principles of operation. In addition, converters area of application, advantages as well as limitations are also highlighted.

The wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source, it is cost-effective in several regions, it is a domestic source of energy and it is a sustainable source of energy. The SSSC system is a FACTS voltage compensator, it is inserted in series with the electrical transmission line through a coupling transformer, its role is to inject a voltage which allows to influence the active power transmitted. The goal of this paper is to examine the effect of using a wind farm SSSC to improve flexibility of a multi-machine perturbed network.

This paper discusses about permanent magnet hybrid stepper motor magnetic circuit using finite element model for different geometric designs like uniform air-gap, non uniform air-gap, for different air-gap lengths, different tooth pitches and extra teeth on stator using PDE toolbox of Matlab at different current densities. Implementing these results in equivalent circuit model (permeance model), motor performance is analyzed for an existing motor for steady state conditions. These results suggest modifications for better performance of the PMH stepper motor like reduction of cogging torque and improvement in steady state torque with minimum THD.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i1.140

This paper introduces a control scheme of Indirect Matrix Converter which includes space vector modulation to stabilize the frequency variations. The terminal voltage and frequency of any synchronous machine can be controlled easily with this scheme. Further the control strategy is proposed and implemented in Matlab/Simulink Embedded system which gives significant better performance compared to conventional control technique like better Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), more output voltage with same Modulation Index, less switching stress and less switching loss. This method might prove effective for wind energy conversion system using DFIG as the DFIG speed is close to synchronous speed. The complete control strategy is verified using MATLAB/Simulink.

This paper describes the design of an LED lamp to be used in a DC house being supplied using a renewable energy source or in a DC Smart Grid. LED lamps are widely known for its low-electricity consumption. The DC house application is becoming more and more popular due to its advantage of using DC generated electricity, for example from a solar photovoltaic system, directly without having to invert it into AC voltage. However, LED needs a driver to activate and control it. Its mounting also needs certain precaution to anticipate the high heat from the LED. An appropriate heatsink is required before activating the LED. The laboratory results indicate that a 3-watt LED bulb lamp can produce an efficiency up to 93.16% with luminous efficacy 82.29 lm/W. These results prove that an LED bulb consumes less energy and can give an optimal brightness.

This paper presents the design and development of an integrated wireless power transfer and data communication system. The power and data transfer share a common inductive link that consists of two identical Helical coils placed on both sides of a carbon composite barrier. Power and data are transferred simultaneously through a 5-mm thick carbon composite barrier without any physical penetration or contact. Power transfer measurements show that the system can deliver 9.7 AC power to the receiving coil with a power transfer efficiency of 36% through the carbon composite barrier. The system achieves a bidirectional half-duplex data communication with the data rate of unit 1.2kbit/s.

In recent, several numbers of multilevel inverter structures have been introduced that the numbers of circuit devices have been reduced. This paper introduces a new structure for multilevel inverter which can be used in high-power applications. The proposed topology is based on cascaded connection of basic units. This topology consists of minimum number of circuit components such as IGBT, gate driver circuit and antiparallel diode. For proposed topology, two methods are presented for determination of dc voltage sources values. Multi-carrier PWM method for 25-level proposed topology is used. Verification of the analytical results is done using MATLAB simulation.

Battery energy storage system (BESS) is used in many practical applications including uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), portable devices, electrical vehicles and renewable energy systems. To utilize BESS effectively, an efficient control operation is required. Various controllers have been introduced in the open literature. However, they are not considered the best fit due to their limitations. This includes their incapability of handling high-power rating BESS, low noise immunity, short life cycle and limited number of input and output interfaces. In this paper, the programmable logic controller (PLC) is used to control and monitor a 158.8 kWh offline BESS for a typical Malaysian household. TIA Portal V13 software by siemens is used to program the proposed PLC control. Human machine interface(HMI) system is used to monitor and simulate the control performance. The results show that the PLC approach provides an efficient and reliable control of the BESS in which a compact protection against the battery overcharging, under-discharging and overheating is achieved.

This paper presents the conceptual study on grid-to-electric vehicle (G2V) wireless power transfer (WPT) using Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC). In this work, the SPMC is used as a direct AC to AC converter to convert the input supply voltage at 50 Hz frequency to the output of 20 kHz to meet the WPT switching frequency operation of the transmitter and receiver coils. The high frequency AC voltage of the receiver coil is then rectified to a DC form by using SPMC. Through the proposed system, the battery of an electric car can be charged wirelessly, thus removing the annoying wires of the conventional electric vehicle charging system. The reduction in size of the charging system, power losses and optimum efficiency are among the advantages of the proposed system. MATLAB/Simulink (MLS) has been used to simulate the proposed model. Selected simulation result are presented to verify the proposed work.

Distributed generation (DG) units are rapidly increasing and most of them are interconnected with distribution network to supply power into the network as well as local loads Islanding operations of DG usually occur when power supply from the main utility is interrupted due to several reasons but the DG keeps supplying power into the distribution networks. a new method for islanding detection of inverter-based distributed generation (DG). Although active islanding detection techniques have smaller non detection zones than passive techniques, active methods could degrade the system power quality and are not as simple and easy to implement as passive methods. The phenomenon of unintentional islanding occurs when a distributed generator (DG) continues to feed power into the grid when power flow from the central utility source has been interrupted. A simple islanding detection scheme has been designed based on this idea. The proposed method has been studied under multiple-DG operation modes and the UL 1741 islanding tests. The simulations results, carried out by MATLAB/Simulink, show that the proposed method has a small Non detection zone.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i4.6257
