Several modulation techniques are proposed for multilevel converters. Among them, selective harmonic elimination (SHE) offers high quality voltage waveform with low switching frequency which is especially suitable for high-power applications. This paper proposes a novel method for real-time implementation of SHE modulation technique in five-level converters. Using this method, all possible sets of solutions and the exact value of switching angles are determined by a very simple formulation. Furthermore, this technique systematically suggests three-level output waveform to extend the minimum value of modulation index to zero for each eliminated harmonic. To verify the validity of the proposed algorithm, simulation and experimental results for a single phase five-level diode-clamped inverter are reported.","PeriodicalId":307121,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th Power Electronics and Drive Systems Technologies Conference (PEDSTC)","volume":"40 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115289089","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 paper develops an optimized fuzzy controller using genetic algorithm (GA) for an electric vehicle equipped with two power bank including battery and super-capacitor. The model of EV and optimized fuzzy controller are simulated in ADVISOR software.

In order to inject the electrical power, generated by PMSG, to the grid, a back-to-back AC/AC power electronic converter is required. In this paper, a novel low cost efficient AC/DC converter is proposed for rectifier stage to obtain the maximum power per ampere of PMSG by using Power Factor Correction method. The new structure is based on DCM SEPIC converter. Reducing the number of semi-conductor switches has decreased converter cost. Additionally, other advantages of this Converter are employing easy control method to obtain the maximum power per ampere and using Synchronous inductance of PMSG as a converter element. Unlike Conventional DCM Boost rectifier, the proposed converter has a continuous input current that leads to lower conduction power loss in PMSG.
