The superconducting magnetic levitation railway system (MAGLEV) under development in Japan uses a pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) inverter for driving a linear synchronous motor (LSM). The inverter output voltage contains non-negligible harmonics which cause harmonic resonances in the LSM system, and therefore harmonics of the output voltage have been analyzed in order to control such harmonic reso...

One advantage of multi-phase machines is the possibility to use the third harmonic of the rotor flux for additional torque generation. This effect can be maximized for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) with a high third harmonic content in the magnet flux. This paper discusses the effects of third harmonic current injection (THCI) on a five-phase PMSM with a conventional magnet shape...

218 IMPLEMENTATION OF THIRD HARMONICS INJECTION BY MATRIX CONVERTER P. Prakash*, M. Sathishkumar** & G. Sathishkumar*** Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Gnanamani College of Technology, Tamilnadu Abstract: Due to the merits of sinusoidal input currents and excellent conversion efficiency, buck-type active third-harmonic injection converters have received increasing attentio...

The problem addressed in this paper is how to restore the power taken by the current injection network in the case of optimal injection of third harmonic, in a simple way, providing self-adjustment of the rectifier to the load current variations. Goals of the presented research are to use only one current sensor, and to improve third harmonic injection technique. A new rectifier topology is pro...

The ratio of torque to copper loss can be increased by injecting third-harmonic current into five-phase permanent-magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM). Accurate flux linkage information is indispensable in the process calculating reference corresponding maximum torque/copper ratio. In harsh working environments, will deviate from initial measured value, resulting deviation between and point. There...

The effects of optical injection locking on the nonlinear distortions of directly modulated semiconductor distributed feedback (DFB) lasers are investigated experimentally. The second harmonic distortion (SHD) and third harmonic distortion (THD), as well as the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3), are measured as functions of modulation frequency for both the free-running and injectio...

In order to enhance torque density of five-phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor with third harmonic injection for electric vehicles (EVs) applications, optimum seeking method for injection ratio of third harmonic was proposed adopting theoretical derivation and finite element analysis method, under the constraint of same amplitude for current and air-gap flux. By five-dimension space vect...

This paper discusses the application of three different 100% stator ground fault protection schemes. Two third-harmonic methods and a low frequency-injection method are discussed. Third-harmonic schemes have been widely applied on generators within the U.S. to provide stator ground fault protection over the entire stator winding. In many cases, however, these schemes have been found not to be a...
