The objective of the paper is to develop a microcontroller controlled four switch three phase inverter (FSTPI) to drive three phase induction motor with minimum hardware. This inverter uses four switches instead of conventional six switches, it has lesser switching losses, lower electromagnetic interference (EMI), less complexity of control algorithms, robust control and reduced circuit complex...

This project presents a three-level diode-clamped inverter feeding an asynchronous motor drive with direct torque control (DTC). The control method is based on DTC operating principles. The stator voltage vector reference is computed from the stator flux and torque errors imposed by the flux and torque controllers. This voltage reference is then generated using a diode-clamped inverter, where e...

To fulfill the challenging demands of the growing grid, new concepts of the inverters are needed. In this project a reduced switch modular inverter design is detailed. A reduced switch modular inverter design is presented for a modern power system which inputs power from both AC and DC Renewable Sources. The modular inverter is the combination of both three phase inverter and three phase invert...

phase stand-alone inverter is caused by unbalanced load and a dead time distorts inverter output voltage more unsymmetrically. When the inverter supplies unbalanced load, three phase output voltages include unbalanced odd harmonics but dq-axis voltages at synchronous reference frame have even harmonics with different magnitude each other. In this paper, a new compensation method is proposed to ...

Distributed generation (DG) will play an important role in future power generation systems, especially in stand-alone applications. Three phase four-leg inverter is a well-known topology which can be used as an interface power converter for DGs. Thanks to the fourth leg to provide the neutral path, the four-leg inverter is able to supply balanced loads as well as unbalanced loads. In this paper...

This paper presents a neural network predictive controller for three phase inverter fed induction machine speed control. Thus the three phase inverter fed induction motor drive has been simulated with and without step change using NNP controller. The performance comparisons of neural network predictive controller are achieved with the help of IAE (Integral absolute error) and ITAE (Integral tim...

In order to reduce the volume and size of distribution power transformer, precise and extended controlling of transformer output, the conventional transformers are replaced by intelligent universal transformers (IUTs). In this paper, an IUT, typical of Iran national grid, with the voltage ratio of 20kV:380 V is designed and simulated. Regarding the IUT implementation, a cascaded H-bridge invert...

To extend the operating speed range of a conventional configuration of FESS (flywheel energy storage system), an additional DC-DC boost converter is required between the machine and grid side converters to regulate the output voltage. This paper presents a new FESS based on three-phase boost inverter topology. The proposed system facilitates voltage boost capability directly in a single-stage. ...

Traditional cascade multilevel inverter can only transmit one-direction of energy. This paper proposes a new cascade multilevel inverter topology and control strategy based on part units to realize the energy feedback. By using PWM converter to replace uncontrollable converter in part units of the traditional inverter, and combining the inverter with H-bridge inverter, the two-direction running...
