This pulse generation stage is multiple because it is based on the most important control techniques to drive inverters, such as PWM techniques, and was developed on a personal computer. The system has two main operation modes: visualization or simulation and real or emulation. The first allows one to select a technique from the menu and see pulses generated to turn-on and turn-off the power semiconductor of the inverter, phase voltage waveforms, line voltages waveforms and spectrum of harmonic content of voltages waveforms according to data input entered previously. The second mode works as the first one but now the pulses generated are used to drive a DC/AC converter connected to a computer through an interface. Results are presented for both modes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116931521","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}

In this paper, we propose a new approach based on the maximum likelihood principle. This estimation is unbiased and reaches the lowest statistical variance. Moreover, its computational burden is shown to be weaker than for any other method. Two algorithms are also derived to track slowly-varying nonstationary harmonic signals.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124558049","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}

Homotopy continuation methods, because of their potentially large or global regions of convergence, and suitability for finding multiple solutions, have been applied to the calculation of periodic steady state for such systems. This paper applies real and complex multi-parameter homotopy to finding periodic solutions of power electronic circuits. We show that multi-parameter homotopy methods can avoid period-doubling and cyclic fold bifurcations along solution paths, and find all stable and unstable periodic solutions along folding or period-doubling paths. We distinguish between circuit-direct and formulation-indirect homotopy, and show that the latter (with two real parameters) can avoid period-doubling bifurcations, while the former cannot.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131808833","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}

A complete power electronics system typically consists of a rectifier bridge along with its smoothing capacitor, an inverter and a motor. The system components, featuring discrete or continuous, linear or nonlinear devices are modeled using mathematical equations. Inverter control methods, such as pulse-width-modulation and hysteresis current control, are expressed using either computer algorithms or digital circuits. After describing component models and control methods, computer programs are then developed for complete system simulation. Simulation results are mainly used for studying system performances such as input and output current harmonics, torque ripples and speed responses. Key computer programs and simulation results are demonstrated for educational purposes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116924137","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}

From this viewpoint, the safety marginal angle (/spl gamma//sub min/) has been recommended as a practice of engineering. However, this practical concept is completely inaccurate. Here, dynamic commutating failure is defined and studied. An algorithm and methodology for a systematic method of treatment of operational modes are formulated. Also a new method of recovery from such a failure is developed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125631426","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}
