The two five-phase Induction Motor (IM) drive system that is serially connected is available in literature. The power supply of such system is considered as a matrix converter (a direct AC to AC converter system) by three and five-phases outputs. The main benefit from the drive topology is the sinusoidal source as a side current with a controllable input side power factor. The decoupled control is achieved similarly to the inverter based drive system. In this paper; the decoupled control of two five-phase induction machines serially connected and powered by a five-phase matrix converter as well as analytical and simulation results are presented.

In this study, we perform the control of the temperature evolution versus time of induction cooking system using a super twisting sliding mode control (STSMC) based on Dynamic Particle Swarm Optimization (D-PSO). First, we will determine the evolution of the temperature in the middle of the pan bottom using the FEM method. The found temperature exceeds the limit of the desired cooking temperature (150-200°C). Second, to limit temperature increase, a (ST-SMC) method combined with a (D-PSO) algorithm is used to get the desired temperature. Particles Swarm Optimization (D-PSO) method is used to optimize the parameters of the gain of (ST-SMC) and improve its performance. The simulation results show that the use of the optimized super twisting sliding mode controller helps to achieve a desired value of cooking.

Nowadays, inverters are power electronics devices used in the renewable energy conversion systems. Therefore, the continuity of service of power converter has been a major concern. In this paper, a technique for diagnosing multiple open switch faults in three phase voltage inverters feeding Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG is presented. It is based on the so-called the Lissajous curves of DFIG rotor currents. For this purpose, the modeling of a non-defected wind conversion system based on mathematic model created in Matlab Simulink is firstly presented, after that, an indirect stator field vector-oriented control is applied to obtain the wind system performance. Finally, rotor currents Lissajous curves are analyzed in case of a non-defected and defected inverter. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method

In this work, we are interested in improving the performance of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind system, by applying a sliding mode control strategy. The objective is the regulation of the active and reactive power, also the voltage and the frequency of the signal injected into the distribution network. The model proposed for the control is based on the sliding mode technique with performance estimators. The proposed model was validated by a simulation on MATLAB/Simulink.

Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation implementation via MATLAB\Simulation demonstrates in this work. In this paper, Arduino Mega2560 platform, microcontroller, introduce as hardware.

To provide a high votage conversion ratio, conventional non-isolated DC-DC boost topologies, which have reduced voltage boost capability, have to operate with extremely high duty cycle ratio, higher than 0.9. This paper proposes a DC-DC converter which is mainly based on the narrow range of duty cycle ratio to achieve extra high voltage conversion gain at relatively reduced voltage stress on semiconductors. In addition, it does include any magnetic coupling structure. The structure of the proposed converter combines the new hybrid SEPIC converter and voltage multiplier cells. From the steady-state analysis, this converter has wide conversion ratio and cubic dependence with respect to the duty ratio and then, can increase the output voltage several times more than the conventional and quadratic converters at the same duty cycle ratio. However, the proposed dual-switch cubic SEPIC converter must withstand higher voltage stress on output switches. To overcome this drawback, an extension of the proposed converter is also introduced and discussed. The superiority of the proposed converter is mainly based on its cubic dependence on the duty cycle ratio that allows it to achieve extra high voltage gain at reduced voltage stress on semiconductors. Simulation results are shown and they corroborate the feasibility, practicality and validity of the concepts of the proposed converter.

In this research, the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the GaN FETs-based high frequency three-port half-bridge converter (TPHBC), which is capable of interfacing a renewable energy source, an energy storage and a load is discussed. To achieve ZVS, which plays a key role in power loss reduction of the high switching frequency converters, not only the parasitic elements but also the dead-time between two switches in one converter arm must be taken into account. This research gives a detail analysis about the influence of the dead-time on the ZVS condition. Based on the analysis, a minimum dead-time which guarantees not only the ZVS but also the safe operation of the converter is obtained. Simulations in various load condition of the TPHBC are carried out to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes and demonstrates a wireless power transfer system design for electric vehicle dynamic charging applications. The dynamic wireless charging (DWC) lane is designed for modularly. Each module has three shorttrack transmitter coils that are placed closely together and connected to a single inverter to reduce the number of inverters. The magnetic coupler design is analyzed and optimized by finite element analysis (FEA) to reduce the output power variation during dynamic charging. The LCC compensation circuit is designed according to the optimal load value to obtain maximum efficiency. The SIC devices are used to improve the efficiency of the high-frequency resonant inverter. A 1.5 kW dynamic charging system prototype is constructed. Experimental results show that the output power variation of 9.5% and the average efficiency of 89.5% are obtained in the moving condition.

In the literature, it is well known that reactive power management is the greatest challenge in wind turbine based on a three-phase self-excited induction generator. Any variation of wind speed or load causes a variation on the needed reactive power and thus a voltage fluctuation. Flexible AC transmission device such as STATCOM become then a necessity to prevent voltage instability and hence voltage collapse at the point of common coupling. This paper proposes so a new control strategy for voltage regulation of an asynchronous wind turbine based on a combination of a single input fuzzy logic regulator and a sliding mode controller. Compared to the classical control strategy with PI regulators, the performance of the proposed compensator has been significantly improved when it is controlled by the new approach and the system have shown more robustness and stability regarding external disturbances. The present document traits so the modelling of the power system, the simulation results and the controller’s scheme and design.

In this paper, an implementation of a DC/DC buck converter for electric vehicles charging station and a DSP based closed-loop digital controller design are presented and analyzed. The aim of this work is to achieve an improved control strategy for a Li-ion battery charger implemented on a Real-time test platform. The test platform consists of a popular power pole board (MPCA75136) dedicated to studying the DC/DC converters, and a DSP development kit (TMS320F28379D) that is used to drive the DC/DC buck converter. The control strategy is based on a digital control system containing the closed-loop current controller followed by a pulse width modulation block, and on a real time state of charge estimation technique for a Li-ion battery. However, the overall control design is modeled on Simulink via block diagrams, and automatically generated code that is targeted into the DSP processor. Simulation and experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed test bench and its external digital control strategy via a charging scenario for electric vehicles batteries.
