This paper proposes a unified robust zero-error tracking control scheme for constant-voltage-constant-frequency (CVCF) PWM converters to eliminate the tracking error in the presence. Based on the internal model principle, the proposed control scheme plugs a reference signal generator into the stable conventional feedback closed-loop system to accomplish zero error tracking of the dc or ac refer...

This paper presents the comparison of Unipolar Inverted Sine Carrier Pulse Width Modulation (UISCPWM) techniques for the Cascaded Multi Level Inverter (CMLI). Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the multilevel AC output voltage. This paper presents the use of Control Freedom Degree (CFD) combination. The effectiveness of the pulse width modul...

In PWM inverter-fed drives, a variation of Common mode voltage (CMV) causes unbalanced voltage operation in induction motor. Multilevel inverters reduce this problem, but the complexity of the power circuit increases with an increase in the number of inverter voltage levels. In this paper, a five-level inverter is compared with two, three and four levels and this five level structure is propose...

This paper discuses the application of the revised IEEE-519 Harmonics standards to typical industrial facilities employing adjustable speed drives (ASDs). The harmonic generation characteristics of ASDs are described. Requirements for control of the harmonic currents are developed as a function of the ASD characteristics, overall plant loading level, power system characteristics, and power fact...

This paper deals with a comprehensive survey on the topic of AC/DC & DC/DC converters for DC Motor Drives. A substantial number of different AC/DC and DC/DC topologies appropriate for DC motor drives are presented. This critical literature review brings out merits, demerits, and limitations besides giving the basic operating principles of various topologies. Keywords—controlled-rectifiers, chop...

Standard lowand medium-power induction motor drives are based on the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) voltagesource inverter fed from a diode rectifier. The dual topology, based on the current-source inverter/rectifier structure is used in mediumand high-power applications. This paper analyzes the existing motor drives based on current-source topologies and proposes a control strategy that addresses...

Abstract In this paper, there is a discussion about different modulation schemes for dc-to-ac ZSC, also named Z-source inverter (ZSI), triggering the main switches of three-phase legs or poles an inverter. A prototype 8.5-kilowatt wind turbine with 5.8-kilowatt Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) system employed voltage-controlled ZSI implemented in paper. For voltage control load sid...

ABSTRACT A voltage source inverter is commonly used to supply a three-phase induction motor with variable frequency and variable voltage for variable speed applications. A suitable pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is employed to obtain the required output voltage in the line side of the inverter. The different methods for PWM generation can be broadly classified into Triangle comparison b...

A new very simple single phase ac-ac voltage regulator based on LC network is proposed here that compensates wide range supply voltage variations. This has the capability of both buck and boost the input source voltage level without any change of phase angle. The number of components used in the converter circuit is minimum and smooth output waveform can be achieved without any additional filte...
