218 IMPLEMENTATION OF THIRD HARMONICS INJECTION BY MATRIX CONVERTER P. Prakash*, M. Sathishkumar** & G. Sathishkumar*** Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Gnanamani College of Technology, Tamilnadu Abstract: Due to the merits of sinusoidal input currents and excellent conversion efficiency, buck-type active third-harmonic injection converters have received increasing attentio...

Understanding the generation and growth of nonlinear harmonic (and intermodulation) distortion in microwave amplifiers such as traveling wave tubes (TWTs), free electron lasers (FELs), and klystrons is of current research interest. Similar to FELs, the nonlinear harmonic growth rate scales with the harmonic number in TWTs. In klystrons, the wave number scaling applies to the nonlinear harmonic ...

Due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with better harmonic spectrum and attain higher voltages, multi-level inverters are receiving increasing attention in the past few years. The multilevel inverter was introduced as a solution to increase the converter operating voltage above the voltage limits of classical semiconductors. In this paper, a Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter is controlle...

Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifiers are high power, often broadband microwave amplifiers used extensively in satellite communications and electronic countermeasures. While the high-power outputs and wide gain-bandwidths make TWTs ideally suited for these purposes, the nonlinearity of these devices results in amplitude, phase and spectral distortion. Nonlinear distortion products appear as harm...

In order to enhance torque density of five-phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor with third harmonic injection for electric vehicles (EVs) applications, optimum seeking method for injection ratio of third harmonic was proposed adopting theoretical derivation and finite element analysis method, under the constraint of same amplitude for current and air-gap flux. By five-dimension space vect...

This paper discusses the application of three different 100% stator ground fault protection schemes. Two third-harmonic methods and a low frequency-injection method are discussed. Third-harmonic schemes have been widely applied on generators within the U.S. to provide stator ground fault protection over the entire stator winding. In many cases, however, these schemes have been found not to be a...

This paper presents the performance investigation of multi-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with simple PWM switching techniques namely the harmonic injection and offset injection method.

A generalized algorithm suitable for odd number of phases is developed in M...

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 ...

An active current injection network for a three-phase diode rectifier is proposed. Current injection is done by using two networks: injection network and injection device. The injection network composed by a half-bridge inverter operating at high frequency and injection device is composed by three bi directional switches operating at low frequency. It also uses one inductor in order to get the ...
