This paper presents a hybrid modulation technique consisting of singe-reference six-pulsemodulation (SRSPM) for front-end dc/dc converter and 33% modulation for three-phase inverter. Employing proposed novel SRSPM to control front-end dc/dc converter, high frequency (HF) pulsating dc voltage waveform is produced, which is equivalent to six-pulse output at 6× line frequency (rectified 6-pulse ou...

In this implementation consists two single-phase to three-phase conversion systems for a three-phase load application. The load is connected to a single-phase grid through an ac–dc–ac single-phase to three-phase converter. The single-phase rectifier is composed of two parallel single-phase half-bridge rectifiers. The main objective of this design is based on number of switching devices is reduc...

In this paper, an H-bridge inverter topology with reduced switch count technique is introduced. This technique reduces the number of controlled switches used in conventional multilevel inverter. To establish a single phase system, the proposed multilevel inverter requires one H-bridge and a multi conversion cell. A multi conversion cell consists of three equal voltage sources with three control...

Two different methods for direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor fed from current source inverter (CSI) is analyzed in the paper. The first one is derived from well-known DTC strategy developed for voltage inverter drives. This type of control basically uses hysteresis type controllers for torque and flux. In CSI drive there is only one controller used for torque control loop. The probl...

Although the device temperature is one of the most critical parameters in the dimensioning of an inverter, experimental studies focusing on the virtual junction temperature (Tvj) in running inverter are scarcely found. In this work the feasibility of four different practical methods is compared. Special focus is set on routines with a high time resolution that enables tracking of the time-depen...

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the current source inverter (CSI)-fed induction motor (IM) drives. It also reviews various control methodologies, selective harmonic elimination techniques and methods for reduction in switching losses in CSI fed IM drives. Authors strongly believe that this survey article shall be very much helpful to the researchers working in the field of CSI fed...

This paper presents a new transformer based multilevel inverter, with a novel pulse width modulation scheme to achieve seven-level inverter output voltage. The proposed inverter switching pattern consists of three fundamental frequency sinusoidal reference signals with an offset value, and one high frequency triangular carrier signal. This switching scheme has been implemented using an 8-bit Xi...

Inverters used as the interface for a distributed generator in a three-phase four-wire system sometimes operate with a large neutral current because of unbalanced loads and singlephase (possibly nonlinear) loads. Voltage balance within the dc-link of the inverter is important for proper operation of the inverter, and the neutral current is a significant disturbance to this. It is preferable to ...

This paper presents a negative type secondgeneration current conveyor (CCII-). It is based on an inverter-based low-voltage error amplifier, and a negative current mirror. The CCIIcould be operated in a very low supply voltage such as ±0.5 V. The proposed CCIIhas wide input voltage range (±0.24 V), wide output voltage (±0.24 V) and wide output current range (±24 mA). The proposed CCIIhas no on-...
