Light Electric vehicle (EV) provides a decent solution to the negative impact of the conventional internal combustion engine based vehicles. The renewable energy source integration to the EV makes the system reliable and ecofriendly. The regenerative braking capability makes the energy management efficient. The SRM has simple rugged structure and with the development of technology, it suits very well for the EV application. In this paper, an 8/6 four phase SRM is controlled for motoring as well as regenerative braking mode. A DC-DC Cuk converter is used as the intermediate converter between the solar panel and the DC-link, which facilitates smooth input and output currents and provides the boundless region for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). A Li-ion battery is directly connected to the DC-link for maintaining the power balance in the system and also eliminates the cost of converter for the battery. Moreover, the system performance is analyzed for different levels of solar insolation on Matlab/Similink.","PeriodicalId":250203,"journal":{"name":"2020 3rd International Conference on Energy, Power and Environment: Towards Clean Energy Technologies","volume":"41 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121175565","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 is due to the voltage balancing ability without any complicated control circuit and voltage boosting ability. Even with these major advantages of SC topologies, a key issue in these circuits is the high inrush current while sudden charging and discharging of capacitors. This issue has been addressed in this work by proposing a new SCMLI circuit consisting lower number of switches and a single source. The merits of the proposed circuit such as voltage balancing of capacitors without adding closed loop control, voltage boosting and single source requirements has motivated the authors to employ the same circuit in photovoltaic (PV) application. The proposed SCMLI is interfaced with the PV systems through dc-dc boost converter. The dc-dc boost converter allows voltage boosting additional to the boosting capability of SC network and assist in minimizing the inrush current due to presence of inductor. The advantages of the proposed structure are verified by a detailed comparison with existing configurations and extensive simulation study of the proposed circuit in integration with the PV system.","PeriodicalId":250203,"journal":{"name":"2020 3rd International Conference on Energy, Power and Environment: Towards Clean Energy Technologies","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124417894","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 part of Indian Grid experiences number of blackouts due to weak transmission connectivity with the all India Grid. However, on that particular day, the grid survived an event that had resulted in blackout in the past. The experience of System Operator in managing the grid and lessons learnt during the “Near Miss” incident is described in the paper. Further, the paper discusses about various measures being taken to avoid disturbances and blackouts in this part of the grid in future.

In this paper in place of feedback diode we incorporate the use of solid-state switches thus reducing the non-linearity, improving the input power factor as well as the harmonic content in the input current shape. The proposed topology attains standards within IEC61000-3-2 with universal AC mains for LED load. With THD less than 5% and power factor nearly unity a two-stage high PFC LED driver circuit where the second stage is driven by a buck converter is proposed.

The sensorless operation is based on a sliding mode observer. The hysteresis controller has been implemented for current control of PMBLDCM drives system. The hysteresis current control is utilised to account for the phase error of stator phase back EMF. With this approach, the switching pattern for power switches of three phase inverter is developed to drive the PMBLDCM. The signum function based sliding mode observer is used to estimate the rotor angular speed. The overall torque due to the external forces enclosed to the PMBLDCM has been taken as disturbances to the system. Further, such disturbances are estimated to achieve the rotor orientation of PMBLDCM in the complete supply intervals. The motor speed is derived with the obtained rotor position of PMBLDCM drive. The phase-to-phase trapezoidal back-EMF for sensorless activity is calculated by SMO, which is merely sensitive to parameters variance. The stability analysis has been justified by designing sliding surface and the error dynamics constraints is estimated to minimise the disturbances in estimated parameters.
