Accurate flux estimation and control of stator flux by the flux control loop is the determining factor in effective implementation of DTC algorithm. In this paper a comparison of voltage model based flux estimation techniques for flux response improvement is carried out. The effectiveness of these methods is judged on the basis of Root Mean Square Flux Error (RMSFE) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of stator current. The theoretical aspects of these methods are discussed and a comparative analysis is provided with emphasis on digital signal processor (DSP) based controller implementation. Further the effect of operating flux on the performance of induction motor drive in terms of dynamic response, torque ripple and efficiency of operation is carried out. The proposed investigation is experimentally validated on a test drive.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i4.554

This paper compares the reduction of harmonics in various level cascaded H-bridge inverters. The switching angles for the cascaded H-bridge inverter were calculated by evolutionary optimization technique. Fourier analysis is used to determine the switching angles for the desired electrical parameters. Lower order harmonics such as third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh order harmonics were taken into consideration to reduce the total harmonic distortion. Simulation was done for thirteen, fifteen and seventeen level cascaded H-bridge inverters using Matlab. Total harmonic distortion of voltage and current for R, RL and Motor load were analyzed.

This paper investigates the relationship between inverter phase number and inverter input current ripple. Analysis results show that increasing the phase number more than nine cannot provide significant input current ripple reduction. The input current ripple is not affected by the switching frequency. Simulation and experimental results are included in this paper to show the validity of the proposed analysis method.

The main objective of this work is to model and simulate DC to DC Boost Converter using Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) topology using MATLAB/Simulink (MLS). The output voltage is controlled by using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. Four pairs of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is used as the switching device where for each pair, it is located in parallel and opposite direction. Safe commutation technique is performed in preventing voltage spike at the output. Through the simulation, at switching frequency of 25kHz, the model is able to step up its input voltage about two times larger and all of the results achieved a good agreement with the principle of four quadrant operation. It is also realized that without the implementation of safe commutation technique, spikes were generated and the model is unable to boost its input voltage. All of the selected results from the analysis which includes variation of quadrant, switching frequency, duty cycle and resistive load are presented in this paper.

In this paper, an overall comparison between the Boost Converter (BC) & Cascaded Converter/ Cascaded Boost Converter (CBC) has been depicted in terms of ideal condition, as well as with the consideration of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of inductor(s). The loss comparison in the two converters due to the ESR is also included in this paper. It can be seen that in CBC, voltage gain is more but the power loss due to ESR is also more compared to BC. The parameters of the converters are derived with a consideration of per unit ripple quantity of inductor current and capacitor voltage. A boundary condition between the continuous conduction mode (CCM) & discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) of the inductor current is also shown. The behaviour of the capacitor current for the converters is discussed during ON and OFF condition of the switch(es) during DCM. At the end, the simulation results of both the converters are given for a 20V/100V, 100 W output. The analysis and simulation results are presented in this paper for the verification of the feasibility.

Power electronic circuit simulation today has become increasingly more demanding in both the speed and accuracy. Whilst almost every simulator has its own advantages and disadvantages, co-simulations are becoming more prevalent. This paper provides an overview of the co-simulation capabilities of device-level circuit simulators. More specifically, a listing of device-level simulators with their salient features are compared and contrasted. The co-simulation interfaces between several simulation tools are discussed. A case study is presented to demonstrate the co-simulation between a device-level simulator (PSIM) interfacing a system-level simulator (Simulink), and a finite element simulation tool (FLUX). Results demonstrate the necessity and convenience as well as the drawbacks of such a comprehensive simulation.

Interline Dynamic Voltage Restorer (IDVR) is an optimum solution to compensate voltage sag in multiple lines. The IDVR consisting of two or more DVRs connected to different feeders in a power system sharing a common DC link energy. This paper presents the hardware implementation of novel bidirectional voltage sag compensation by the IDVR in multiple feeders at same instance. A two line feeder power system with IDVR installed is considered. The IDVR is implemented using two VSI with filter. The control system of IDVR is developed using DSPACE 1103.

In this paper, an experimental investigation of a three phase quasi Switched Boost Inverter (qSBI) topology is proposed and analysed with an improved Pulse Width Modulation strategy. The qSBI is capable of providing both boost and inversion actions in a single stage. The improved PWM control technique can provide a higher boost with the reduced duty ratio. The theoretical analysis presented in this work is validated using an experimental set up of 100W qSBI topology and hardware results are shown for verification. The improved PWM strategy is implemented and firing pulses are generated in FPGA SPARTAN 3E kit. With the duty ratio of 0.05, the peak ac load voltage of 80 V is obtained. The performance of three phase qSBI is analysed with both conventional PWM strategy and improved PWM strategy. The observations are presentated in detail.

This paper proposes a Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid in alliance with Photo Voltaic (PV) energy, Wind Energy and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel cells. Microgrids are becoming increasingly attractive to the researchers because of the less greenhouse gases, low running cost, and flexibility to operate in connection with utility grid. The Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid constitutes independent AC and DC subgrids, where all the corresponding sources and loads are connected to their respective buses and these buses are interfaced using an interfacing converter. The Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid increases system efficiency by reducing the multiple reverse conversions involved in conventional RES integration to grid. A Small Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid in grid connected mode was modeled and simulated in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment. The simulation results proves the stable operation considering the uncertainty of generations and loads.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i2.6188

This paper presents the improved single phase AC-DC super lift Luo converter for enhancing quality of power by mitigating the issues. The proposed converter is used for output voltage control, power factor improvement and reduced source current harmonics at supply side. The main intention of this work is to design appropriate closed loop controllers for this AC-DC super lift Luo converter to achieve unity power factor in the source end. The designed control system comprises of two control loops, voltage control in outer loop and the current controller is devised in the inner loop. Fuzzy controller is used for current controller whereas PI controller as voltage controller. In the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform, simulation of the proposed AC-DC super lift Luo converter is done. It is clear from the simulation results that PI integrated fuzzy controller for voltage and control is proven to be better than classical PI with hysteresis controllers. The proposed system is able to achieve high input power factor along with supply current harmonic distortions of less than 5%.
