A ZVS and ZCS buck boost converter is presented for PV panel applications. The salient points are that all the switching devices are under zero-current switching during turn-on and zero-voltage switching during turn-off. The active switches in the converter undergo zero-capacitive turn-on losses unlike switches in other soft-switched topologies. The switches do not experience any over voltage/over current stress proportional to load as in resonant converters. This soft-switching technique can also be applied to other classical switched mode power converters. A detailed analysis of the converter under steady state is discussed and simulation results obtained are presented.

The solar energy is a very interesting alternative on supplement the electrical system generation. In this paper, a photovoltaic based system is obtained from a boost cascaded with a buck converter along with Coupled inductor. Due to its novel operating modes, high efficiency can be achieved because there is only one switch operating at high frequency at a time, and the converter allows the use of power MOSFET and ultra-fast reverse recovery diode. This paper begins with theoretical analysis and modeling of this boost–buck converter. The model indicates that the coupled inductance will lead to an increase in the gain and the decrease in ripples. Finally, this paper analyzes and describes step by step the process of designing, and simulation of high efficiency low ripple voltage buck boost DC-DC converter for the photovoltaic solar conversion system

Multilevel inverters have been used in the industrial as well as the drive applications. Here three phase system of the 27 level inverter scheme with and without loads have been presented by combining the three single phase inverters of various and asymmetrical voltage ranges. Here capacitors, batteries may be used for multiple dc sources in order to achieve high voltage output. It is shown that by implementing the single phase model in the three phase system the harmonic content is lowered even in the loaded conditions than compared to the single phase system. The proposed method can be validated and simulation is carried out with the help of MATLAB/Simulink software.

Speed Estimation without speed sensors is a complex phenomenon and is overly dependent on the machine parameters. It is all the more significant during low speed or near zero speed operation. There are several approaches to speed estimation of an induction motor. Eventually, they can be classified into two types, namely, estimation based on the machine model and estimation based on magnetic saliency and air gap space harmonics. This paper, through a brief literature survey, attempts to give an overview of the fundamentals and the current trends in various machine model based speed estimation techniques which have occupied and continue to occupy a great amount of research space.

One of the best ways to identify and design a system is simulating and to achieve this goal, we use simulation software such as MATLAB Simulink. In this study, the relations ruling photovoltaic is described. Then, on the relations basis, a photovoltaic system is simulated in MATLAB software. After photovoltaic system simulation, regardless the specific geographic area, radiation and temperature effect on photovoltaic system is generally simulated. Finally, with regard to radiation and temperature values effect on, it was concluded that we overlook the temperature effect than radiation effect on photovoltaic system designing. It certainly does not mean overlooking the temperature effect. It means a low-effect power changes per temperature changes against radiation.

Upsurge in bandwidth demand in recent times for real-time data transmission have put serious constraints on satellite communication channels, leading to congestion of the lower frequency bands; necessitating migration to higher bands (Ku, Ka and V) with attendant problems such as signal fading, depolarization and attenuation due to presence of hydrometeors. There is need to separately account for attenuation due to the melting layer along the earth-space microwave links. One year data from ground-based S-band meteorological radar sourced from Kluang station of the Malaysian Meteorological Department was processed to build the vertical reflectivity of rain profile for UTM, Malaysia. Results from this work suggested that the effects of the melting layer on signal attenuation at Ku-band can be quite significant in the tropical and equatorial regions. It was estimated to be 13.36 dB and 15.44 dB at 0.01% of the time exceeded using Laws-parsons and Marshall-Palmer regression coefficients, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that ITU-R. P.618-11 model largely under-estimated the attenuation along the slant-paths because of its failure to account for attenuation due to the melting layer in its formulation by its assumption of constant rain rate; thus rendering it unsuitable for rain attenuation predictions in the tropics.

In this paper, a high-conversion-ratio bidirectional DC–DC converter with dual coupled inductors is proposed. In the boost mode, two capacitors are parallel charged and series discharged by the dual coupled inductors. Thus, high step-up voltage gain can be achieved with an appropriate duty ratio. In the buck mode, two capacitors are series charged and parallel discharged by the dual coupled inductors. The bidirectional converter can have high step-down voltage gain. The stress voltage of all switches can be reduced, and the switching loss and efficiency can be improved. The operating principle and the steady-state analyses of the voltage gain are discussed. Finally, in 24V for low voltage, and 400V for high voltage, and 200W for output power, this converter simulated in MATLAB.

In this paper, a new method of signal flow graph technique and Mason’s gain formula are applied for extracting the model and transfer functions from control to output and from input to output of a buck-boost converter. In order to investigate necessity of a controller for the converter with assumed parameters, the frequency and time domain analysis is done and the open loop system characteristics are verified. In addition, the needed closed loop controlled system specifications are determined. Moreover, designing a controller for the mentioned converter system based on the extracted model is discussed. For this purpose, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is designed and the hybrid of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), called H-GA-PSO method is used for tuning of the PID controller. Finally, the simulation results are used to show the performance of the proposed modeling and regulation methods.

A novel space vector modulation (SVM) method for an indirect matrix converter (IMC) is used to reduce the common -mode voltage (CMV) in the output. The process of selecting required active vectors and to describe the switching sequence in the inverter stage of the IMC is explained in this paper. This novel SVM method used to decrease the peak -to-peak amplitude voltage of CMV without using any external hardware. The other advantage of this SVM method is to reduce the total harmonic distortion of line-to-line output voltage. This new modulation technique is easily implemented through simulation and its results are used to demonstrate the improved performance of the input/output waveforms.

The use of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) in wind turbines has become quite common over the last few years. DFIG wind turbine is an integrated part of distributed generation system. This paper presents a Fuzzy based controller SMES unit in DFIG for improving the ac output on grid side. The excitation system is composed of the rotor-side converter, the grid-side converter, the dc chopper and the superconducting magnet. The superconducting magnet is connected with the dc side of the two converters, which can handle the active power transfer with the rotor of DFIG and the power grid independently, even thou Sutton small fluctuations are occur in active power on AC side. For smoothening the AC output power waveform a Fuzzy based controller is introduced in SMES controller unit, which implemented using simulation developed in MATLAB/ SIMULINK 7.2 version. The model of the FUZZY controlled SMES based excitation system for DFIG is established, and the simulation tests are performed to evaluate the system performance.
