Due to harmonics, sudden voltage dips and large fluctuating torque causes a great problem in the starting of large induction motor. Some times due to tripping of relay, equipment failure, surge, no load or overload motor voltage fluctuates resulting in the failure of motor starting. This paper discusses the solution of these problems by using soft starter technique. Soft starting of induction m...

In this paper, a global study in terms of control architecture and power management is applied to parallel inverters topology. High bandwidth controllers and low voltage THD are achieved. The losses through the structure are modeled by equivalent voltage sources which implicitly represent all the losses types in the system. An accurate online estimation method allows determining these losses pa...

An analysis of on-line autonomous robust tracking controller based on variable structure control is presented for an aerospace launch vehicle. Decentralized sliding-mode controller is designed to achieve the decoupled asymptotic tracking of guidance commands upon plant uncertainties and external disturbances. Development and application of the controller for an aerospace launch vehicle during a...

The operation of single-phase Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is analyzed in the paper. A mathematical model converter developed and described, based on which structure selection parameters for Classical Control Optimal Switching State Model Predictive (OSS-MPC) are defined. Additionally, procedure determination circuit parameters, such as submodule capacitance arm inductance, described carr...

This paper presents the comparison study of current control techniques for shunt active power filter. The hysteresis current control, the delta modulation control and the carrier-based PWM control are considered in the paper. The synchronous detection method is used to calculate the reference currents for shunt active power filter. The simulation results show that the carrier-based PWM control ...

Multilevel inverter becomes popular because of its high power, high voltage application. However it has some disadvantages such as increased number of components, complex control method and voltage balancing problems. In this paper, we proposed a new topology having level modules and H-bridge inverter, and reverse voltage technique is adopted for load. APOD based PWM technique is used to genera...

-This paper deals with the active power filter design controlled by using hysteresis technique. The genetic algorithm is used to design the controllers to minimize the %THD of the source current. The results are compared with that designed from Ingram and Round approach. The simulation results confirm that the genetic algorithm can provide the minimum %THD of the source current compared with th...

Power quality problems caused by significant increase of non-linear loads initiated intensive research in high power factor converters. Most of the modern power electronic systems like variable speed drives, DC power supplies and battery charging systems uses uncontrolled diode bridge rectifier. The uncontrolled rectifier system injects lot of harmonics in to the AC supply system there by reduc...
