Optimal PWM, for minimization of total harmonic distortion of line to line (VWTHD), is generally solved with the aforementioned criteria. This paper establishes that a combination of both types of waveforms gives better performance than any individual type in terms of minimum VWTHD for complete range of modulation index (M). Optimal PWM for minimum VWTHD is solved for PWM waveforms with pulse numbers (P) of 5 and 7. Both type-A and type-B waveforms are found to be better in different ranges of M. The theoretical findings are confirmed through simulation and experimental results on a 3.7kW squirrel cage induction motor in an open-loop V/f drive. Further, the optimal PWM is analysed from a space vector point of view.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","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":"130452188","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 algorithm is simple, based on measuring source current and regulating dc link voltage. It operates without sensing the volt-ampere requirement of the nonlinear load. The PI and type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (T2FLC) are used to control dc link voltage. The T2FLC is the non-model based approach, which does not require the mathematical model of the active power filter. The active power filter (APF) driving signals are produced with help of the hysteresis current controller. The performance of APF with conventional PIC and T2FLC is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Additional filtering offered at the input by LCL filter reduces the inductance of boost converter. This calls for an algorithm which can track the maximum power in both discontinuous (DCM) and continuous conduction modes (CCM) of boost converter operation accurately. Direct duty ratio based perturb and observe algorithm for MPPT has been implemented in real time using VHDL based FPGA. The sensitivity of the algorithm to DCM and CCM operation of converter is analysed. It is shown that the duty ratio increment used in the MPPT algorithm should be evaluated based on the sensitivity factor. The direct duty ratio based approach is found to work well with both modes of operation, even with mode transitions.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"47 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":"131221449","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}

Harmonics present in the stator current are the main reason for the increased acoustic noise in motor drives. The pulse-width modulation technique used to modulate the inverter is the key factor determining the magnitude of current harmonics. Bus-clamping pulse-width modulation (BCPWM) techniques have got much attention nowadays due to reduced switching loss, compared to conventional space vector pwm(CSVPWM). In this paper, two BCPWM techniques namely, 60° and 30° BCPWM methods are compared with CSVPWM on the basis of electrical spectra as well as acoustic noise spectra. Experiments are conducted on a pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter fed 6 kW induction motor drive. Harmonic analysis is carried out on the measured line to line voltage, stator current and acoustic noise, corresponding to the three methods, at different fundamental and carrier frequencies. Comparison of the experimental results show that the magnitude of dominant acoustic noise component around the carrier frequency is reduced significantly with BCPWM methods, compared to CSVPWM, at high modulation indices.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"32 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":"132675439","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}

Controlling the zeta converter in an intelligent manner through the incremental conductance maximum power point tracking (INC-MPPT) algorithm offers the soft starting of the brushless DC (BLDC) motor employed to drive a centrifugal water pump coupled to its shaft. Soft starting i.e. the reduced current starting inhibits the harmful effect of the high starting current on the windings of the BLDC motor. A fundamental frequency switching of the voltage source inverter (VSI) is accomplished by the electronic commutation of the BLDC motor, thereby avoiding the VSI losses occurred owing to the high frequency switching. A new design approach for the low valued DC link capacitor of VSI is proposed. The proposed water pumping system is designed and modeled such that the performance is not affected even under the dynamic conditions. Suitability of the proposed system under dynamic conditions is demonstrated by the simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink software.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"95 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":"133029969","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}
