A resonant driver for a Piezoelectric Motor (PZM) is presented, analyzed and tested experimentally. Following a short description of the linear PZM applied in this study, the paper covers the analytical relationships of the buck driven push-pull parallel resonant inverter stage that includes a novel single transistor direction switches. It is shown that the proposed topology is compatible with ...

This paper attempts to enhance the performance of a green energy induction motor drive. The electronic power converters become indispensable part of the renewable energy systems (RES). The solar photovoltaic (PV) system is efficiently operated with artificial neural network (ANN) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The inverter topologies for the green drive scheme are analyzed...

In this paper, the operation principle of the Z-source inverter is analysed in detail. According to the characteristics of allowed short–shrougt zero state in the Z-source inverter, SPWM control method of the Zsource inverter is obtained by inserting fixed short–shrougt zero state into zero state of SPWM. It is simple and easily implemented in practice. However, in inductive load condition the ...

Single-switch inverters such as the conventional class E inverter are often highly load sensitive, and maintain zero-voltage switching over only a narrow range of load resistances. This paper introduces a design methodology that enables rapid synthesis of class E and related single-switch inverters that maintain ZVS operation over a wide range of resistive loads. We treat the design of ClassE i...

In this paper speed control of three phase bldc motor using four switch inverter is proposed to simplify the structure of the conventional six switch inverter. It is an effective try on reducing cost. A single current sensor control strategy is used. PID controller is used by the outer loop to develop the performance of speed control. The outer speed loop is designed to improve the static and d...

A soft-switching inverter topology (the Class Φ) is presented which draws dc source current through a transmission line or a lumped-network approximation of a distributed line. By aligning the inverter switching frequency just below the line’s λ/4-wave resonance, the Class Φ topology enforces oddand even-harmonic content in its drain voltage and input current, respectively. The symmetrizing act...
