The resonant circuit is analyzed to establish the criteria for initial current selection. A circuit is proposed to establish the bidirectional initial current. The improved inverter permits successful operation at 50 kHz resonant frequency and can potentially operate up to 100 kHz. The control of the inverter, which involves prediction of the inverter input current, is formulated. A complete inverter-fed induction motor speed control system is simulated using PC-SIMNON. The simulation study at both 50 kHz and 25 kHz resonant frequency indicates the superiority of the inverter at higher resonant frequency.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"616 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114092942","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 PWM converter is controlled by the feedback loops of filter input currents and their derivatives to suppress the transient oscillations in LC filters without inserting damping resistors. Analyzing the control system as a sampled data system, optimum values of feedback gains are investigated, that is, the cutoff frequency of the optimum design is about one-seventh of the PWM carrier frequency, and the compensation delay time is two times as large as the carrier period. The performance of the active power filter with the proposed control strategy is confirmed by experiments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125164909","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 second structure is based on the fact that the steady-state current's phase lag and attenuation are canceled by working in the d-q frame because references and disturbances are constant. Moreover, whatever the machine, the equations are simple, and good dynamic performances are possible with simple d-q loops, EMF feedforward terms, and i/sub d/,i/sub q/ decoupling terms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125338521","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}

A variable auxiliary winding voltage phase angle is shown to yield significant torque control, providing starting and motoring torque as well as reversability and some braking torque. The analysis includes the determination of the relationship between the auxiliary winding voltage phase angle and the phase angle difference between the auxiliary winding currents. A control methodology for selecting an auxiliary winding voltage magnitude and phase angle is examined. Simulation results of the motor's torque-speed characteristics using the controlled auxiliary winding supply are shown and discussed.

The conventional hysteresis control method has good dynamic responses, but the switching frequencies are high because it does not optimize switching patterns. Full-bridge inverters can generate +E, -E, and 0 (zero) levels where E is an input DC voltage level. The hysteresis control method does not utilize maximum freedom and it selects the output only among two levels (+E and -E). The method selects the optimum output among the three levels (+E, -E, and 0) instantaneously. The control circuit of the proposed method is very simple. Whereas the conventional hysteresis control has only one hysteresis comparator, the proposed method has two hysteresis comparators (wide and narrow loops). When a reference signal goes up, the wide-loop output becomes high and the inverter output is +E, or 0 according to the narrow-loop output. When a reference signal goes down, the wide-loop output becomes low and the inverter output is -E or 0. The method is validated to optimize the output level instantaneously and to reduce the switching times.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133051750","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}
