This paper presents sensorless speed control of induction motor (IM) using four switch three phase inverter (FSTPI) with direct torque and flux control (DTFC). The proposed sensorless DTFC system consists of an adaptive observer of rotor flux to accurately estimate stator resistance and speed simultaneously, without affecting drive performances. The switching technique for DTFC of IM using FSTPI in low power application is based on the principle of similarity between FSTPI and SSTPI (six switch three phase inverter), where the αβ plan is divided into 6 sectors and the formation of the voltage space vector is done in the same way as for SSTPI by using effective (mean) vectors. This approach allows using the well-known established switching table of SSTPI for FSTPI. The simulation results indicates that the sensorless speed control of FSTPI fed IM with DTFC and adaptive observer provides accurate estimate, good trajectory tracking with different dynamics performance. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method at different operating points.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i2.5645

In this paper a new, simple multilevel inverter topology is proposed. Multilevel inverter uses several dc sources and power switches to synthesize desired output voltage waveform. The single phase structure of proposed topology in this paper consists of two dc sources and eight power switches. When the magnitudes of dc sources are equal it operates in symmetric mode, however in order to increase output voltage levels unequal magnitudes of dc sources are selected, then it operates in asymmetric mode. So far, multilevel inverter topologies have been used in motor drive industry to run induction motors. Recently permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are replacing induction motors. Multilevel inverter is an attracting choice for driving high performance PMSM. However very few studies discuss the performance of multilevel inverter fed PMSM. In this paper simulation of novel symmetric and asymmetric multilevel inverter is carried out to analyze performance of PMSM. The topology is investigated through computer simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.

The voltage source inverters (VSI) are ever required section in the AC motor drive and power system interface. The electrical drive segment, the VSI based drives are unavoidable and they are closely operated with induction motor, permanent magnate synchronous motor and BLDC motor. These drives are normally needed high torque-power characters. Hence, the input DC-link side voltage is increased with help of increasing input AC in the rectifier input. However, this causes the power quality disturbance in the AC main and DC-link. In order to go for a increasing the AC voltage, the rectifier out is connected with DC to DC boost converter and they are increasing the DC voltage to meet out the drive DC-link voltage demand. With this aim, the paper proposes the idea to connect high step non-isolated high gain coupled DC to DC converter with three phase VSI for drives applications. The proposed converter has an ability to increase the voltage five times and the counter winding arrangement ratio of the converter is help for the further increase of gain. Inn this interface the front end DC to DC converters inductors are charged by making the short circuit with inverter switching. The converter voltage gain is controlled by shoot through of the VSI switch (converter gain directly proportional to inverter shoot through). The proposed converter has a higher degree of freedom in their values of winding and output voltage. Hence, the DC-link voltage of the inverter can be extended in any level. The operation principle and modes of the proposed DC to DC Source tied VSI is analyzed and simulated using MATLAB-Simulink software simulation. The laboratory based small scale power circuit is developed with help of control algorithm. The entire implementation is done through PIC microcontroller platform. The deign Investigation, system simulation and experimentation confirming the proposed DC to DC converter tied VSI drive system.

In this paper a new method of controller design for boost type dc-dc converter is proposed. A feedback controller for DC-DC boost converter is designed to obtain constant output voltage of 24v.The optimal values of feedback controller is obtained using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Design equations are derived and it is modeled in MATLAB. Extensive simulation is carried out with linear controller parameters and the results are presented. To compare the output of the GA based design and BFOA, the controller parameters are also determined using conventional method (Z-N). Simulation results are validated through hardware results.

LED technology had a huge development in recent years with major benefits: long-life, high-efficiency, excellent performance, compactness. In this work, an innovative method for improving the performance of multi-chip white LED lamps (MCW-LEDs) by adding the green Ce0.67 Tb0.33 MgAl11 O19:Ce,Tb (CeTb) phosphor to their in-cup phosphor compounding is proposed, investigated and demonstrated. Firstly, CeTb was mixed to the in-cup phosphor package of MCW-LEDs. Then by varying CeTb concentration, lumen output and angular color uniformity (ACU) of MCW-LEDs was calculated and analyzed. The results showed that the lumen output and the ACU of 7000 K and 8500 K MCW-LEDs increased significantly in comparison with others related works. This method is a prospective ideal for future improving LED manufacture.

A single-stage symmetrical high voltage gain half-bridge (HB) DC-AC converter is proposed in this paper. Using two Y-source impedance networks, the following key features are utilized from the proposed topology: single stage inverter with very high voltage gain compared to conventional HB inverter, symmetrical output voltage waveform, low voltage stress across the passive components because it is distributed across two impedance networks, and only two switching devices are needed for the converter. Furthermore, important merit of the proposed topology is that the current drawn by the Y-coupled inductors is symmetrical around the X-axis which helps to prevent the Y-network cores from reaching the saturation state. And the last compelling feature is a virtual neutral point for the load connection is inherited in the proposed double Y-source impedance networks converter with no need for DC-Link capacitors. For low voltage sources such as photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cell, the converter is designed to achieve continuous input current operation. The operation modes and principles of the inverter are analyzed and discussed deeply in this paper. A detailed mathematical equations system is derived and verified for the presented converter. Finally, PSpice simulation tools are used to simulate the converter and verify the derived mathematical formulas.

A Photovoltaic (PV) emulator is a device that produces a similar output as the PV module and it is useful for testing the PV generation system. This paper present a new and simple control strategy for the PV emulator using the combination of the Resistance Comparison Method with the Integral Controller. The closed-loop buck converter system with the current-mode controlled and the single diode model are used for the PV emulator. The results obtained from the proposed PV emulator are compared with the conventional PV emulator using the Direct Referencing Method as the control strategy. The proposed PV emulator produces a more accurate output, 74 % faster transient response, and a lower output voltage ripple compared to the conventional PV emulator.
