This paper deals with the control of three phase PWM rectifier model using SVM based current controller. In many power electronics control applications the rectifier plays vital role during AC/DC power conversion. The SVM-based HCC scheme is simulated using MATLAB simulink. The technique combines the best features of the SVM and HCC techniques. The controller determines a set of state space vec...

This paper proposes a novel simplified brushless wound field synchronous machine (BL-WFSM) topology based on an uncontrolled three-phase rectifier. The output of the rectifier is injected into common point star-connected armature winding. arrangement develops MMF consisting two components: fundamental MMF, which rotating in nature, and harmonic pulsating magnetic field, induces current speciall...

The uncontrolled three-phase bridge rectifier has the least line current distortion among six-pulse rectifiers; however, its total harmonic distortion (THD) of 31.08% is unacceptable as per the contemporary power quality standards. This paper seeks to address the issue by elimination of triplen harmonics in the line currents by providing a deltawye transformer at the ac interface i.e. between t...

A new soft-switching technique that improves performance of the high-power-factor boost rectifier by reducing switching losses is introduced. The losses are reduced by an active snubber which consists of an inductor, capacitor, rectifier, and an auxiliary switch. Since the boost switch turns off with zero current, this technique is well suited for implementations with insulated-gate bipolar tra...

The novel characteristics of a new Schottky rectifier structure, known as the lateral merged double Schottky (LMDS) rectifier, on 4H-SiC are explored theoretically and compared with those of the compatible conventional 4H-SiC Schottky rectifiers. The anode of the proposed lateral device utilizes the trenches filled with a high barrier Schottky (HBS) metal to pinch off a low barrier Schottky (LB...

In an electrical Power systems, a load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of useful power transferred. Linear loads with low power factor (induction motor) can be corrected with a passive network of capacitors or inductors. The hysteresis current controller is used to track the line current command. Non-linear loads (rectifier) di...

Three novel differential precision rectifier circuits are realized using single CMOS differential voltage current conveyor. One of the realized differential precision rectifiers provides half wave voltage output. The other two circuits give full wave voltage outputs. Among the two full wave differential precision rectifiers, one circuit provides single ended voltage output while other full wave...

Developmentally regulated delayed rectifier potassium currents determine the waveform of the action potential in all Xenopus embryonic primary spinal neurons. To examine this developmental program at the molecular level, we have isolated Xenopus Kv2 potassium channel genes Kv2.1 and Kv2.2. Both genes induce functional heterologous expression of delayed rectifier potassium currents. Transcripts ...

The pressure swing distillation in different batch column configurations is investigated by rigorous simulation calculations. The calculations are made by a professional flow-sheet simulator for the separation of a minimum (ethanol–toluene) and a maximum boiling (water– ethylene-diamine) azeotropic mixture. Besides studying the well known configurations (rectifier, stripper) we also investigate...

Nonlinear transport properties of a ballistic rectifier fabricated from InAs/AlGaSb heterostructures are reported. The operation of the ballistic rectifier is based on the guidance of carriers by a square anti-dot structure. The structure was defined by electron beam lithography and wet chemical etching. The DC characteristics and magneto-transport properties of the ballistic rectifier have bee...
