This Paper presents a novel Cultural Algorithm based particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique which is intended to assist in converging to a accurate solution in the control of Linear Brushless Direct Current motor (LBLDC). With the novel PSO-based approach the optimal Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller parameters are deduced for efficient speed control of Linear Brushless DC ...

In this paper we propose a parallel structure of I-P-D (Integral minus Proportional minus Derivative) type fuzzy controller based on the conventional PID control theory, used to control the speed of DC motor. The conventional PID controller exhibit poor performance when applied to DC motor, it fails to perform satisfactory under parameter variation or load changes. The parallel I-P-D type fuzzy...

Crustacean motor pattern-generating networks have played central roles in understanding the cellular and network bases of rhythmic motor patterns for over half a century. We review here the four best investigated of these systems: the stomatogastric, ventilatory, cardiac, and swimmeret systems. Generally applicable observations arising from this work include (1) neurons with active, endogenous ...

A new topology of a hybrid distributed generator based on photovoltaic and wind-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator is proposed. In this generator, the sources are together connected to the grid with the help of only a single boost converter followed by an inverter. Thus, compared to earlier schemes, the proposed scheme has fewer power converters. Model of the proposed scheme in d-q a...

Abstract In modern electrical traction drives, a variable dc-link voltage can be applied to increase efficiency in partial load. A dc-dc converter supply and transfer energy between the battery dc-link. Hybrid cars combine advantages of long driving ranges with zero-emission operation. series-hybrid drive trains, switched reluctance machine used as generator for range extender unit. This paper ...

Steady-state analysis of a three phase induction motor can be carried out by using computer simulation software such as MATLAB. From Simulink/Power system block set (PSB) library, the induction motor model can be effectively used to simulate the effects of DC resistance, no-load and blocked rotor tests. These tests are performed on a machine to estimate the values of stator and rotor resistance...

Vector control is becoming the industrial standard for induction motor control. The vector control technique decouples the two components of stator current space vector: one providing the control of flux and the other providing the control of torque. The two components are defined in the synchronously rotating reference frame. With the help of this control technique the induction motor can repl...

The switched reluctance motor is a singly excited, doubly salient machine which can be used in generation mode by selecting the proper firing angles of the phases. Due to its robustness, it has the potential and the ability to become one the generators to be used in harsh environment. This paper presents an energy conversion by a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) when bifilar converter ci...

Solar energy is the most promising non-conventional sources of energy. This paper proposes the working of single phase induction motor using solar arrays and power electronics. The SEPIC converter is taken as dc-dc converter which is designed and DC analysis has been done in CCM. Then inverter is used to convert dc power to ac power. The performance of SEPIC converter and inverter is measured, ...

DC-DC converters have been applied to industrial applications widely during the past few decades. With rapid development of technology, negative output (N/O) dc-dc converters play an important role in the industrial fields, such as regenerative braking system (RBS) of DC motors for hybrid electric vehicles, signal generator and data transmission interface, neutral point clamping power electroni...
