Recent development in power electronics and soft computing techniques made it possible to design and implement the sophisticated control strategies of AC motor drives. In this paper the Direct Torque Control (DTC) which is one of the most excellent control strategies of ac motors which give very good steady and dynamic response which is quite different from that of the field-oriented control is...

For several decades, electric drives were used to control the speed of induction motors. The new generations of electric drives are based on high speed power transistors, like IGBT and MOSFET. The main part of electric drive is the inverter which works as DC to AC converter using a power transistor bridge. Since the output of this inverter is a high frequency square wave, a high speed microcont...

The objective is to supply a three phase motors from a single phase AC mains. It is common to have only a single phase power grid in residential, commercial, manufacturing and mainly in rural areas, while adjustable speed drives may require a three phase power grid. Hence we need to convert from single phase to three phase supply to operate the drive system. Parallel converters can be used to i...

Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Rectifiers offer a promising and high end performance for the ac to dc conversion needs of the industry, customer and power grid sectors. This paper presents a reduced switching loss algorithm applied to a hysteresis current controlled PWM rectifier. This acts as an ac to dc boost converter with near unity power factor at the grid side along with regulated and ripple...

— This paper proposes a new control scheme for regulating the instantaneous power for pwm boost type rectifiers under generalized unbalanced operating conditions. By nullifying the oscillating components of instantaneous power at the poles of the converter instead of the front-end through solving a set of nonlinear control equations in real time, the harmonics in the output dc voltage can be el...

This paper presents the designing of a low powered (25-30 watts), portable and cost effective solar micro-inverter wherein the single solar panel is able to run the AC loads along with DC loads. The system consists of a solar panel, DC-DC push-pull converter, DC-AC inverter, LC filter and the test loads. The solar cell powers DC-DC push pull converter which boosts the input DC voltage into the ...

A novel single-phase pulsewidth modulation (PWM) direct ac-ac converter based on two-level nondifferential dual-buck ac chopper legs with inverting and noninverting operations is first proposed in this article. It has the ability to resolve both voltage sag swell problems at same time when used as distributed flexible conditioner. Compared traditional converter, it much enhanced system reliabil...

Abstract— This paper proposes a new type of converter called Single Phase Z-source Matrix Converter (SPZMC). The SPZMC is an ac-to-ac converter device. Simulated using diode bridge bidirectional switch cell. The simulation is performed in different loads with fixed input and variable output frequency. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching strategy is used to obtain the variable frequency. The ...

In case of low voltage (12 to 24V) solar and battery powered sinus inverter applications a special converter topology for managing the high input current rating is required. Conventional solutions uses paralleled power MOSFETs to realize high current (several 100A) switches. In this paper a synchronized multi phase PWM concept was chosen to rise the over all efficiency of the inverter. In gener...
