A dynamic and interactive visualization of simulations for idealized converters in steady state are provided by the proposed educational tools, allowing students to acquire qualification in non-isolated DC-DC converters, without previous circuitry knowledge, either without the usage of sophisticated simulation packages. The interaction with proposed simulation tools can be accomplished by student using direct or graphic mode. In direct mode the parameters related with the design of converter can be inserted simply editing default values presented in text boxes, while in the graphic mode students interact indirectly with design information by manipulating visual widgets. In order to corroborate the proposed interactive simulation tools, comparisons of results from buck-boost and boost converters on proposed tools and a well-known simulator package with those on experimental evaluation from laboratory classes were presented.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133660805","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 IGBTs are connected in a common-emitter (CE) configuration by versatile blocks, able to be used in other topologies such as sparse matrix converters and conventional matrix converters. The matrix converter allows many advantages compared to the conventional voltage or current source inverters. It does not require energy storage components as a bulky capacitor or an inductance in the DC-link and enables the bidirectional power flow between the power supply and load. The indirect modulation technique is adopted, since a dc-link without capacitive elements is established. The modulation technique adopted is able to provide practically sinusoidal waveforms of the input and output currents with negligible harmonics amplitude, with input displacement factor control. Some design and implementation details of a 1 kW three-phase to three-phase, as well, a complete theoretical description with simulation results of the design implementation are offered.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132788506","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 goal is to develop a compact and low cost electronic circuit to drive and control the current of LEDs arranged in a single enclosure. The proposed idea allows using the same equipment in the daily activities, supplied by mains, and under a possible failure of it. The proposal aims energy saving, high luminous efficacy and high useful life when replacing traditional emergency lighting systems, using fluorescent lamps by LEDs. The use of E-27 socket (the same used in traditional incandescent lamps), provides the advantage of easy installation, with the simple replacement of the lamp without any change in the electrical installation. To supply the LEDs by mains and by battery a Buck and a Boost converter were employed. The converters work without electrolytic capacitors which has advantages such as reducing of size and cost of the circuit and increasing the driver's useful life. The battery can be composed of three rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (1.2 V) or a Li-Ion battery (3.6 V). The design complies with the Brazilian standard and international standard for emergency lighting systems. The complete circuit was implemented and the experimental results show a satisfactory behavior of the lamp.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127713781","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}

As a difference with the most extended solution, that reduces these currents by means of the connection of a crowbar circuit, this works intends to enhance the DFIGs response in such conditions without introducing extra hardware in the system. To this end, the proposed control system feedback the stator currents as the rotor current reference during the fault, until they are driven to their nominal values.
