With this control, the voltage at the main buses (variable frequency bus -270VDC bus - 28VDC bus-constant frequency bus) lies within standard limits at transient and steady state conditions. At the other hand, the generator frequency lies within standard limits for all the frequency operating range of 400-800Hz. The AEPS is tested using a simulation model in PSIM and the obtained results verify that the FLC is an efficient control technique for the variable frequency aircraft systems.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114169402","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 proposed circuit is made up of a bridgeless (BL) zeta converter at the front end and full bridge (FB) buck converter for high-frequency isolation. The BL zeta converter eliminates the input diode bridge rectifier (DBR) thereby minimizing the conduction losses. The discontinuous current mode (DCM) operation of BL zeta converter naturally provides power factor correction at AC mains in an effective manner. The proposed converter offers several meritorious features like fast parametrical response to load and source voltage variations andinherent short-circuit current limit resulting in better welding performance and weld bead quality. The performance of the system is investigated to assess its power quality in terms of input power factor (PF), total harmonic distortion (THD) of the AC mains current, voltage regulation and robustness. The system is found to perform extremely well adhering to international power quality norms.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117099015","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}

This paper presents a multi-agent system based substation automation solution to improve the reliability of protection system during any CT failure.

This situation is generally countered by load shedding, which leads to financial losses to utilities and individual users. The compensation of real/reactive power not only provides the voltage profile improvement but also ensures the sustain power to the consumers. This paper presents the new control algorithm to support the real and reactive load power demand by integrating energy storage (ES). The efficiency functions co-relates to the thermal limit and storage energy availability. For a given radial feeder this control algorithm ensures the unity power factor on source side which provides relief in reactive power support from the source. The energy saving due to loss reduction and reliability of supply for critical load justify the additional energy storage investment.

Due to that SiC MOSFET based power converter can be lighter in weight, highly efficient, compact in size compared to Si IGBT based power converters. But the parasitic inductance in the power circuit will not allow SiC MOSFET to switch to its full potential due to very high device voltage overshoot, sustained oscillation in line currents and device voltages, high EMI noise injected in the control circuit etc. Therefore it is very important to know the behavior of the switching characteristics of the device at different parasitic condition. In this paper switching behavior of a 1200V, 35 A, SiC MOSFET is tested extensively in different parasitic condition. A limiting value of these inductances is provided to build a voltage source inverter with SiC MOSFET utilizing its full switching potential.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126375554","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}

Good agreement is observed between model results and experimental data. The model is then used to study the 12-pulse harmonic current conditions and represent the associated winding losses as equivalent resistances. It is seen that harmonic current losses account for as much as 8-11% of the secondary winding and 4-6% of the total winding power loss, indicating their significance in this application.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130224231","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 reluctance network model (RNM) based analytical approach proposed for this specific machine is the novelty of this paper. Furthermore, this analytical model is validated using finite element method (FEM). Based on these methods, the performance parameters in terms of generated emf and air gap magnetic flux density is estimated.

The proposed controller is an effort towards overcoming the limitations of conventional hysteresis controller; like, limit cycle oscillation, overshoot in current error, generation of subharmonics in the input current, and random switching of voltage vectors. The proposed controller ensures switching of only adjacent voltage vectors for position of reference voltage vector in a given sector of voltage space phasor structure of FEC. The controller is self-adaptive in nature and keeps the current error space phasor within the prescribed hexagonal boundary. Unity power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD) in line current under various steady state conditions with bi-directional power flow capability are quite evident from the presented studies for the proposed controller based FEC. The transient performance of the proposed controller is also studied and results are presented depicting good dynamic response and effectiveness of the controller.
