The present work describes an optimal operation of a small scale photovoltaic system connected to a micro-grid, based on both sliding mode and fuzzy logic control. Real time implementation is done through a dSPACE 1104 single board, controlling a boost chopper on the PV array side and a voltage source inverter (VSI) on the grid side. The sliding mode controller tracks permanently the maximum po...

The simple Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) for 3-Phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is presented here. The proposed work is to examine the Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) and to eliminate harmonics produced by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter. The selective harmonic elimination method for three phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is generally based on ideas of opposite harmonic ...

In this paper, the overmodulation region voltagegain characteristics and waveform quality of carrier-based pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) methods are investigated. Through detailed analytical study, voltage-gain characteristics are extracted independent of carrier frequency. The influence of blanking time and minimum pulsewidth (MPW) control on the inverter gain characteristics are studied and show...

Due to high dynamic response, current-controlled pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSI) are widely used in high performance AC drive system for Industrial applications. The main objective of current controller is to force the load current vector to follow the reference trajectory in the three-phase load. There are three types of current controllers used in voltage source inv...

This paper presents the performance investigation of FPGA implementation of SVPWM technique for seven-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). Seven-phase voltage source inverters are dominantly used to supply the seven-phase drives which are used for high power applications. In the SVPWM technique a large space vectors are detailed. A voltage source inverter with the proposed SVPWM is simulated in...

This paper deals with the analysis, design and control of a small power standalone solar photovoltaic (SPV) generating system. A PV array of 33V-43.2V is taken as an input and its output voltage is achieved as 360V dc using a flyback converter. The battery is charged at this voltage and using a single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) it is converted into a single phase ac of 220Vac, 50 Hz. A...

Using a Hong Kong-sourced sample of 261 participants, this study set out to validate the Volunteer Satisfaction Index (VSI) in the Chinese cultural context and to evaluate its psychometric properties. The VSI was originally developed by Galindo-Kuhn and Guzley (2001) to measure the outcomes of volunteer experiences. In this study, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) yielded a different factor str...

In modern traction propulsion applications, voltage source inverter (VSI) fed traction motors today operate very close to borderline conditions. With new emerging semiconductor technologies, higher inverter switching frequencies will be possible and high inverter dv/dt-rates appear, resulting in transient overvoltages at the machine which increase the stress on the insulation system and lead to...

This project presents the operation of a distributed generation (DG) system driven by a dcdc step-up converter and a dc-ac voltage source inverter (VSI) interfaced with the power grid by Fuzzy Controller. To create a stable mode when different kinds of loads are connected locally or when working under contingency, the step-up converter must regulate the dc link voltage, allowing the VSI to stab...

The purpose of this paper is to describe a model predictive direct torque control (MPDTC) with load angle limitation for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive system. In this paper, an exact discrete-time state-space model of SPMSM is presented, which improves the state prediction accuracy comparing to simple Euler approximation. A finite control set type MPDTC is use...
