This paper focuses on a second order sliding mode based direct power controller (SOSM-DPC) of a three-phase grid-connected voltage source converter (VSC). The proposed control scheme combined with fuzzy logic aims at regulating the DC-link voltage of the converter and precisely tracking arbitrary power references, in order to easily control the system’s power factor. Therefore measures are prop...

The idea of a microgrid is created by utilizing more diverse ac or dc distributed generation (DG) sources along with an energy storage system (ESS) and loads. The most efficient and reliable selection of ac and dc microgrids is a hybrid ac/dc microgrid. The hybrid microgrid largely overcomes the shortcomings of standalone ac or dc microgrids. A bidirectional interlinking converter (BIC) is util...

In this article is proposed a Centralized Sliding Mode Control (CSMC) applied to a UPFC device for controlling power flow and enhancing power system stability. First, we establish a state-space dynamic model of UPFC based on Kirchhoff’s equations and (d-q) transformation. This model includes the two voltage source inverters and the DC bus voltage link. Furthermore, in order to cancel the effect...

Electric traction system uses voltage source inverter technology for three phase electric locomotives. This paper proposes Z source inverters to control the speed of locomotive drives. The acceleration region and free running region of operation of locomotive is considered for analysis. The control strategy for Z source inverter used is simple boost control.

This paper has described the application of the newly developed direct torque control (DTC) scheme for the reduction of common mode voltage of an induction motor drive. This DTC scheme for the reduction of common mode voltage does not use any zero voltage vectors. To validate the proposed algorithm, numerical simulation has been carried out using MATLAB-Simulink and results are presented and co...

To efficiently supply wide-range DC voltage from a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier, this paper presents a single-phase, full-wave, diode-bridge, single-ended primary-inductor converter-type (SEPIC-type) power-factor-correction (PFC) rectifier in continuous conduction mode with a sliding surface-regulated current-mode PWM controller. According to the switched-mode operation of the rectifi...

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

The use of the average-current-mode control in the recently introduced two-input buck postregulator is studied in this paper. Using this type of control, the attenuation of the input voltage ripple (100–120 Hz) increases in relation to the one obtained when a conventional voltage-mode control (with or without feedforward) is used and, therefore, lower bulk capacitors can be used to obtain a ver...

157 Abstract— In this paper, voltage -mode and a current-mode Kerwin-Huelsman-Newcomb (KHN) filter structure employing current feedback amplifiers (CFAs) is proposed. Both circuits perform three standard functions including low-pass, high-pass and band-pass functions. The current mode filter is multi-input and single-output (MISO) type whereas voltage mode filter is single-input and multi-outpu...
