A modified CPS-PWM for capacitor voltage reduction of MMC based variable speed drive

Variable Speed Drive Application Based Acoustic Noise Reduction Strategy

The acoustic sound level caused as secondary effects of industrial energy conversion processes is often perceived as an unwelcome noise emitted into the enclosing surrounding. In order to verify design aspects for reducing such undesirable noise emission in particular within variable electric speed drive applications, suggested novel combinations of electrical and mechanical motor topologies ar...

Torque Ripple Reduction of Electrolytic Capacitor-less BLDC Motor Drive

Brushless DC motors called BLDC are used in many industrial and non-industrial applications today for reasons such as very high efficiency, easy control method and high reliability, and their use is increasingly used in mass production applications, especially home appliances. But these motors require the use of an electric drive, even in constant speed applications. Commercialization of these ...

Modern Topology& Thermal Analysis of Drive for Variable Speed Pumped Storage Power Plant

Given the significant power generation and consumption of variable-speed pumped storage power plants (VSPSPs), it is crucial to enhance drive methods and decrease drive losses, thereby increasing productivity. This paper proposes the topology for VSPSP drivers with two level voltage source converters (2LVSC) with 6+1 converters. Hydraulic and electrical VSPSP models are presented, following whi...

Design and Simulation of Double Loop Control for Power Converter Fed Variable Speed DC Drive

A FUZZY-BASED SPEED CONTROLLER FOR IMPROVEMENT OF INDUCTION MOTOR'S DRIVE PERFORMANCE

Induction motors (IMs) are widely used in many industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, simplicity and relative good efficiency. One of the major considerations for IMs is their speed control. PI (proportional-integrator) controllers are usually used as speed controller. Adjusting the gain of PI controller is time-consuming which needs thorough considerations. Hence, fuzzy con...
