This paper deals with the use of shunt active filter to compensate current perturbations produced by non linear loads. To perform the identification of disturbing currents, the so called Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Method (pq) is used. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit, locked to the fundamental frequency of the system voltage, is also introduced for eventual mains voltages perturba...

In this paper combination of a load-commutated inverter (LCI) and a voltage-source inverter (VSI) are employed for performance analysis of induction motor drive. Performance of the drive has been evaluated through the different variation in reference speed and load torque. proposed LCI-based induction motor drives include the following Advantages: 1) sinusoidal motor phase current and voltage b...

Abstract – This paper comprehensively analyses the design of Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) using Simulink and presents the comparative analysis of improved quality three phase PWM-VSI for Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD’s). In SVPWM the complex reference voltage phasor is processed as a whole, therefore, interaction between three motor phases is exploited, and this strategy reduces the switching losses...

This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) based canonical switching cell (CSC) converter-fed brushless dc motor (BLDCM) drive for low-power household applications. The speed of BLDCM is controlled by varying the dc-bus voltage of voltage source inverter (VSI). The BLDCM is electronically commutated for reduced switching losses in VSI due to low-frequency switching. A front-end CSC con...

In this paper, computer simulation of a three-phase synchronous motor drive is described. This drive/system is supplied with a new type of pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter (PWM VSI) whose amplitude of the first harmonic, compared to a conventional sinusoidal PWM VSI, is increased by about 17% and whose amplitude of higher harmonics is also reduced inversely proportional to their or...

Recent advances in the power system handling capabilities of static switches have made the use of the voltage source inverter (VSI) feasible at both transmission and distribution levels.

The interconnection of distributed energy resources (DERs) in microgrids (MGs) operating both islanded and grid-connected modes require coordinated control strategies. DERs are interfaced with voltage source inverters (VSIs) enabling interconnection. This paper proposes a load demand sharing scheme for the parallel operation VSIs an inverter-based microgrid (VSI-MG). ride-through capability hea...
