Renewable energy sources are being widely used for Distributed Generation (fuel cells, solar panels, Wind power generators etc..,) because of their advantages. But they produce a very low output voltage. To interconnect a low-dc-voltage to residential loads a special voltage matching converter is required. This paper presents a back to back connection of cascaded quasi-Z-source network based st...

This paper focuses on hybrid H-bridge cascaded MLI using two equal dc sources in order to produce a five-level output. The proposed topology reduces the number of dc sources and switching elements. This paper emphasis on various inverted sine carrier PWM (ISCPWM) techniques with equal amplitude and unequal amplitude carriers. The inverted sine carrier pulse width modulation (ISCPWM) technique e...

This paper compares the performance of diode clamped three level inverter based STATCOM with sinusoidal and space vector PWM techniques. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique is the most advantageous technique than the conventional sinusoidal PWM technique for a multilevel inverter. The space vector pulse width modulation technique is an advanced, computation-intensive PWM metho...

Attitude determination, along with attitude control, is critical to functioning of every space mission. Here, we investigate the application of a steady-state Kalman Filter for attitude determination using attitude sensors (sun sensor and horizon sensors) and rate integrating gyros. The three-axis steady-state Kalman Filter formulation, adopted from literature, offers obvious computational adva...

AbstractPerformance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems using Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) are analyzed in this paper. The performance of DWT-OFDM is assessed by various parameters such as BER, eye diagram and constellation diagram. BER is the ratio of the no. of bits with error to the total no. of bits transmitted through the chann...

This paper shows the application of fuzzy logic based duty ratio control technique to reduce torque ripple in an induction motor employing Direct Torque Control (DTC). This technique increases the number of voltage vectors beyond the available eight discrete voltage vectors without any increase in the number of semiconductor switches in the inverter. Look-up Table based on-line tuning PI contro...
