However, such motors are prone to generation of bearing current which causes bearing wear through electrical discharge machining (EDM). Present methods for diagnosing bearing current are based on vibration spectrum analysis, monitoring the waveform of the shaft voltage or monitoring the current flowing through the carbon brush placed between the shaft and the motor frame. These techniques, requires mandatory site inspection and special arrangement for data collection. As a result, these methods are not feasible in all industrial cases. Therefore, development of an alternate non contact and non intrusive technique is required to easily detect the presence of bearing current. This paper proposes a method to effectively detect the presence of bearing current using motor current signals only. These signals could be easily collected from the motor control panel itself. The proposed method does not require any site inspection or additional fittings, which makes it applicable for every industrial scenario.","PeriodicalId":103331,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power, Instrumentation, Control and Computing (PICC)","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123558230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bridges can generate quasi-square waveform and pulse width modulated (PWM) waveform independently and energized the two transformers whose secondary terminals are cascaded to attain the maximum number of levels in the output voltage waveform. Presence of the transformer in the configuration mainly provides the inbuilt isolation between the supply and load, higher order harmonics are filtered out due to the leakage inductance of the transformers and ratings of the power electronic switches are reduced since the transformers are boosted up the voltages. As per switching concerns, this paper presents the most common LS-SPWM technique with a new carrier to improves the fundamental magnitude and shifts the dominant harmonics into three times of the traditional strategy for the same modulation indices. The detailed loss analysis of the converter is also presented.

The major drawback of these approaches is that they cannot be used under rapid changing irradiation conditions as it takes them a long time to track the maximum power point (MPP). To overcome this drawback, a new method is proposed in the literature known as Model-Based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MB-MPPT). The conventional method uses environmental inputs such as irradiation and temperature to calculate the voltage at MPP. But the existing model-based approaches does not consider the impact of variation in series resistance of solar photovoltaic (PV) module on the voltage at maximum power point. These variations are caused due to degradation of the solar PV module over time. This paper proposes a new MB-MPPT technique, which takes into account the impact of PV module degradation on the maximum power point (MPP). The proposed method will help in tracking the exact MPP even for a degrading solar PV module. The necessary simulation results are presented.","PeriodicalId":103331,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power, Instrumentation, Control and Computing (PICC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121189832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Highly efficient and good operating life of photovoltaic inverters and transformers are required. Normally voltage source inverters are used for solar PV application. But current source inverters are more reliable than the voltage source inverters. This paper discusses the implementation of a three-leg current source based inverter using three-phase space vector pulse width modulation. This will inject high earth leakage current to the grid and also results in high common mode voltage. To minimize the leakage current an isolation transformer can be used. Due to the addition of this equipment, size and cost increases, and the total efficiency decreases. To overcome this limitation Four-leg current source inverter is proposed. In this proposed method, we can suppress the common mode voltage and the earth leakage current.

By applying the proposed gating scheme, higher conversion efficiency is obtained due to zero-voltage-switching of the converter switches for wide variations in input voltage and the load.

Few works are also available in literature about vibration analysis of inter-turn fault motors. In vibration monitoring authors have majorly focused on the fundamental rotational and supply harmonics hardly up to four. It is not ideal to judge whether the rise in vibration amplitudes at these harmonics are due to electrical faults such as voltage unbalance, air gap eccentricity, bowed rotor, inter-turn faults or due to mechanical faults such as misalignment, looseness, weak base etc. So, there is a need for further studies in vibration analysis of motors under inter-turn fault. Experimental investigations have been performed to study the effect of inter-turn fault on rotor slot harmonic amplitudes. From the experiments, it is clear that inter-turn fault also results in increase of vibration amplitudes at rotor slot harmonics.","PeriodicalId":103331,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power, Instrumentation, Control and Computing (PICC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130360613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inception of faults in motors may reduce its operational efficiency. Over a period of time, the propagation of fault in the motor may leads to the further drop in the efficiency. Various motor fault diagnosis techniques which use current signal, vibration signal and infrared thermography (IRT) to diagnose motor fault prior to its failure are available. Inspite of all these fault diagnosis techniques still failure of induction motor are reported in industries. The main reason is the mismanagement of the available fault diagnosis technique. No single fault diagnosis technique is effective in diagnosing every fault present in the motor. Therefore, a combination of these techniques is required to diagnose fault effectively. This paper proposed an effective combination of two fault diagnosis technique which could diagnose most of motor faults. Fuzzy arithmetic operation is used to identify this effective combination which helps in increasing motor availability and reduces downtime cost.","PeriodicalId":103331,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power, Instrumentation, Control and Computing (PICC)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123716737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
