In this paper, an electric vehicle drive with a robust and low cost alternating current (AC) induction motor is presented. This approach is applied to an existing commercial utility electric vehicle where previously used direct current (DC) series motor was replaced by the new AC induction motor. The use of three-phase squirrel cage induction motor requires implementing of voltage source invert...

Multilevel inverter (MLI) has emerged as a key player in medium and high voltage application due to its tremendous popularity in reduced voltage stress across the power switches and low total harmonic distortion in output waveform. MLI requires large amount of power switches to perform conversion as compared to conventional converter. In MLI, as the number of levels increase number of switches ...

in recent years, there has been a fast growth in wind energy conversion system (wecs). there are two general types of wind turbines in wecs: fixed speed wind turbines and varying speed wind turbines.permanent magnet synchronous generator (pmsg) is one of the most attractive generators for the varying speed turbine wecs.in this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control the current source ...

This paper proposes an approach to improve the cost-effectiveness of the control of variable speed drives in the robotics field. This could be achieved by the association of brushless DC motors (BLDCM)with a reduced structure DC/AC converter that is the three-switch inverter (TSI) equipping a robot arm. In a first step, we devoted the analysis, modelisation and control of a three-switch inverte...

The four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverters are known for their cost-effective advantages and minimal switching losses. However, such inverter topology’s progress is lagging due to control constraints requirements, including voltage vector limitations parameter perturbations. To overcome the issue, this paper proposes a triple-voltage-vector model-free predictive current (TVV-MFPCC) FSTP inver...

In this paper author discussed PI and fuzzy controllers with the three phase inverter concept and this converter connected to induction motor drive as load. This presents a unified control strategy that enables both islanded and grid-tied operations of three-phase inverter in distributed generation, with no need for switching between two corresponding controllers or critical islanding detection...
