AC Drives : Year 2000 ( Y 2 K ) and Beyond
نویسندگان
چکیده
The unprecedented growth in industrial motor drives over the past decade resulted from the process improvements demanded by the automation industry. With the increased speed of modern micro-controllers and digital signal processors and the reduced Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) drive package size, coupled with the low maintenance of ac motors, multiple machine configurability has been achieved with minimal process downtime. As we will see, this progress required significant effort in mitigating numerous technical problems associated with this rapidly expanding technology. The paper reviews the economic trends in the industry, performance enhancements for Volts per Hertz (V/F) drives and high performance Field Oriented Controllers (FOC), inverter hardware topologies, and IGBT induced system problems and solutions. Finally, the authors will look beyond the year 2000 (Y2K) and offer a glimpse at what is possible and practical over the next five years.

A Non-Sinusoidal Reference Wave for Pwm Ac Drives
In this paper we propose a suitable reference wave for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) AC Drives. Staircase reference waves whose levels are calculated to eliminate certain harmonics are studied and a certain staircase reference waveform with L levels is constructed. When L is made very large in limit, this staircase waveform approaches a continuous one which is called Quasine (Quasi + Sine). This...
متن کاملAssessment of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B substrate specificity using "inverse alanine scanning".
An "inverse alanine scanning" peptide library approach has been developed to assess the substrate specificity of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). In this method each Ala moiety in the parent peptide, Ac-AAAApYAAAA-NH(2), is separately and sequentially replaced by the 19 non-Ala amino acids to generate a library of 153 well defined peptides. The relatively small number of peptides allows...
متن کاملFixed point implementation of Kalman filtering for AC drives: a case study using TMS320F24x DSP
The real-time digital implementation of the Kalman filter requires a very fast signal processor specialised and optimised to perform complex mathematical calculations and manipulate a large amount of data. In fact, the algorithm is computationally intensive, and all of the steps involved require vector and/or matrix operation. In this paper the analysis of an actual fixed point implementation o...
متن کاملIGBT Protection in AC or BLDC Motor Drives
In the last decade, industrial AC drives have become more advanced in performance and more compact in size. This is largely due to the rapid development of power silicon technology, including the enhancement of IGBTs and of High Voltage Integrated Circuits. Additionally, this technological growth has been particularly accelerated for low horsepower (< 5 Hp) AC Drives. Yet the ground fault prote...
متن کاملDielectric nonlinearity of relaxor ferroelectric ceramics at low ac drives
Dielectric nonlinear response of (PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)0.9(PbTiO3)0.1 (0.9PMN0.1PT) relaxor ceramics was investigated under different ac drive voltages. It was observed that: (i) the dielectric permittivity is independent on ac field amplitude at high temperatures; (ii) with increasing ac drive, the permittivity maximum increases, and the temperature of the maximum shifts to lower temperature; (iii) ...
