Armature voltage control is an effective and simple method of speed control in most of these applications. Solid state AC voltage controllers can be used to control the voltage applied to the motor. AC voltage controllers with back to back connected SCRs or TRIACs employing phase control strategy are commercially available for this purpose. However the controllers are found to create problems like introduction of harmonics in the input supply, poor supply power factor and inference to communication equipments. These problems are severe at large firing angles of the controller. The problems introduced by phase control method can be overcome if pulse width modulation technique is employed for the speed control of AC series motor. With pulse width modulation (PWM) chopper control, the harmonic distortion can be reduced and the power factor can be improved. Multiple pulse width chopper employing selective harmonic elimination strategy is employed can further reduce the harmonics.","PeriodicalId":227812,"journal":{"name":"2006 India International Conference on Power Electronics","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120983207","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 ANN significantly reduces the computational efforts of the modulation technique and makes the implementation of space vector modulation algorithm very fast without losing precision compared to the conventional SVM algorithm implementation using look up table. The performance of the converter in terms of its power quality on the input and output side is investigated through computer simulations and the results have been found excellent. A mathematical model of the rectifier is also developed. A comparative analysis of the converter using space vector modulation without and with ANN implementation is also presented to validate the usefulness of the ANN implementation of space vector modulation.

The main drawback of this structure deals with its control. Boost inverter consists of Boost DC-DC converters that have to be controlled in a variable-operation point condition. The sliding mode control has been proposed as an option. However, it does not directly control the inductance averaged-current. This paper proposes a control strategy for the Boost inverter in which each Boost is controlled by means of a double-loop regulation scheme that consists of a new inductor current control inner loop and an also new output voltage control outer loop. These loops include compensations in order to cope with the Boost variable operation point condition and to achieve a high robustness to both input voltage and output current disturbances. As shown by simulation results, the proposed control strategy achieves a very high reliable performance, even in difficult transient situations such as nonlinear loads, abrupt load changes, short circuits, etc., which sliding mode control cannot cope with.","PeriodicalId":227812,"journal":{"name":"2006 India International Conference on Power Electronics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131128699","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}
