Two generic configurations of forced commutated PWM converters, i.e. voltage source inverters and current source inverters, have been proposed as advanced reactive power compensators'. A new configuration to combine the features of the two generic ones is proposed, designed and analyzed in this paper. It is composed of a PWM current source inverter handling high power with very low switching fr...

Due to the potential benefits resulting from the use of more than the conventional three phases in transmission, some interest has also grown in the area of multi-phase (phase order more than three) machines in recent years. Multi-phase loads particularly in the form of inverter fed induction motor drives suited to high power and specialized applications, are receiving growing attention in the ...

This paper proposes a space vector pulse width amplitude modulation (SVPWAM) method for a buck–boost voltage/current source inverter. For a voltage source inverter, the switching loss is reduced by 87%, compared to a conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) method. For a current source inverter, the switching loss is reduced by 60%. In both cases, the power density is increased by ...

This paper present a MATLAB-SIMULINK model of a single phase 2.5 KVA, 240V RMS controlled PV VSI (Photovoltaic Voltage Source Inverter) inverter using IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). The behavior of output voltage, output current, and the total harmonic distortion (THD), with the variation in input dc blocking capacitor (Cdc), for linear and non-linear load has been analyzed. The val...

Within the last decade, there have been rapid changes in technology. Power electronics have played a vital role in the technological developments. Inverters are extensively used in power electronic applications for converting DC (Direct Current) to AC (Alternating current). The applications of inverters range from uninterrupted power supplies used in home appliances control to HVDC power transm...

This paper presents simplified predictive current controller for 3-ph PWM voltage source inverter connected to the utility grid via filter inductance. By controlling inductance voltage drop, the inverter voltage and hence the injected current can be controlled. The proposed predictive control technique operates with constant switching frequency using space-vector modulation (SVM). In each switc...

Active power filter continues to be a powerful tool to control harmonics in power systems thereby enhancing the power quality. This paper presents a fuzzy tuned PID controller based shunt active filter to diminish the harmonics caused by non linear loads like thyristor bridge rectifiers and imbalanced loads.

Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

Renewable energy sources (RES) place main role in present days to generate power. The Switched Boost Inverter is a single stage dc-ac power converter, whose output voltage can be either greater or less than its input dc voltage. This converter can supply both dc and ac loads, simultaneously, which makes it suitable for micro grid applications. Also, this converter allows shoot-through of the in...
