High power demands are usually met by advanced power electronics converters in several large utility and electric drives applications. Applications from high power drives commonly uses solution based multi pulse and multilevel converters. A common DC link with atleast one voltage source converter (VSC) working with almost fundamental switching frequency are used in converters of multipulse type, and each output module is connected with the multipulse transformer in series. When compared to that of solution with single-VSC, Several VSCs generating different triggering pulses are adjused in order to achieve current injected with low specified total harmonic distortion (THD) with losses of abridged switching. Huge structure in complexity and expensive cost expenditure of the multipulse transformer is the major limitation of this scheme. DC link split capacitors in addition are eliminated by modifying the topology of the circuit. Thus, the independent voltages of the DC capacitor are controlled and decreased in number and the flow of third harmonic current component in the transformer is eliminated. The scheme of the designed controller is depending on the derived mathematical system model. Simulaion observation is used to check the scheme performance and efficiency in a detailed way with drive control technique.

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to reduce the impact of harmonics in the high-power medium-voltage squirrel-cage induction motor. An inverter with a minimum switching frequency is required for this load type to reduce the snubber and switching losses. Phase-shifting transformer is selected as an interface between the three-phase supply and the inverter. This is to reduce the impact of low order harmonics and consequently reducing total harmonic distortion (THD). Selective harmonic-elimination pulse width modulation (SHEPWM) is employed as a control technique in the inverter to eliminate specific low-order harmonics. Thereby, many low order harmonics are reduced further. By this way the THD of the system is reduced significantly and consequently the better and cleaner energy is obtained. In this research, PSpice simulation verified by MATLAB is used to estimate the harmonics content of the currents in high-power medium voltage induction motor.

Memory, speed, reliability, and efficiency are the main characteristics of concern in new contemporary control techniques of electric power converters. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is a widespread digital compute-intensive control technique used in the control of power converters. This study aims to overcome the large number of calculations needed by the SVPWM algorithm, which limits its implementation in many advanced industrial applications. This paper presents a low-cost software implemented simplified SVPWM technique. The proposed strategy generates the inverter switching times in a straightforward manner with no need for complicated and time-consuming sector identification and look-up switching tables. A simulation study has been done using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment for the three-phase voltage source converter (VSC). The results in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) in the converter line voltage are compared for the proposed technique, conventional SVPWM, and space pulse width modulation (SPWM). The execution time is reduced considerably with a slight increase in the value of THD and about 14.4 percent DC-link voltage utilization over the SPWM.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe the design of a Hybrid Series Active Power Filter (HSeAPF) system to improve the quality of power on three-phase power distribution grids. The system controls are comprise of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) based on the Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory, and supported by Phase Locked Loop (PLL) for generating the switching pulses to control a Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The DC link voltage is controlled by Non-Linear Sliding Mode Control (SMC) for faster response and to ensure that it is maintained at a constant value. When this voltage is compared with Proportional Integral (PI), then the improvements made can be shown. The function of HSeAPF control is to eliminate voltage fluctuations, voltage swell/sag, and prevent voltage/current harmonics are produced by both non-linear loads and small inverters connected to the distribution network. A digital Phase Locked Loop that generates frequencies and an oscillating phase-locked output signal controls the voltage. The results from the simulation indicate that the HSeAPF can effectively suppress the dynamic and harmonic reactive power compensation system. Also, the distribution network has a low Total Harmonic Distortion (< 5%), demonstrating that the designed system is efficient, which is an essential requirement when it comes to the IEEE-519 and IEC 61,000–3-6 standards.

Multilevel Inverters

Voltage source multilevel inverters have become very attractive for power industries in power electronics applications during last years. The main purposes that have led to the development of the studies about multilevel inverters are the generation of output voltage signals with low harmonic distortion; the reduction of switching frequency. A serious constraint in a multilevel inverter is the capacitor voltage-balancing problem. The unbalance of different DC voltage sources of five-level neutral point clamping (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI) constitutes the major limitation for the use of this new power converter. In order to stabilize these DC voltages, we propose in this paper to study the cascade constituted by three phases five-level PWM rectifier, a clamping bridge and five-level NPC (VSI). In the first part, we present a topology of five-level NPC VSI, and then they propose a model of this converter and an optimal PWM strategy to control it using four bipolar carriers. Then in the second part, we study a five-level PWM rectifier, which is controlled by a multiband hysteresis strategy. In the last part of this paper, the authors study shows particularly the problem of the stability of the multi DC voltages of the inverter and its consequence on the performances of the induction motors (IM). Then, we propose a solution to the problem by employed closed loop regulation using PI regulator type fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The results obtained with this solution confirm the good performances of the proposed solution, and promise to use the inverter in high voltage and great power applications as electrical traction.

This study provides an adaptive control approach of VSC (voltage source converter) coupled with SPV (solar photovoltaic array), in a 3P3W (three-phase three-wire) system with three single-phase non-linear loads having Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) abilities using P and O (perturb & observe) methodology. The adaptive control technique converges quickly and has a low mean square error. For the correction of power factor and zero voltage regulation modes, the system is studied and simulated. The system’s great efficacy at high voltages is due to its one-stage structure. Grid current harmonics are significantly below the IEEE-519 norm. The suggested system is modeled and simulated with the available sim power system toolbox in MATLAB/Simulink, and the system’s behavior under different loads and environmental circumstances is confirmed.

The Cost

The cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter has been found a promising technology in industrial applications because of its higher voltage with less distortion production. Various PWMs techniques have been proposed to push the harmonics frequencies higher than the switching frequency and thus reduces the THD as compared to non-carrier control technique based upon grid frequency. The Phase-Shifted PWM technique has an advantage over others PWM techniques because its harmonics orders are multiples of switching frequency and also depend on the number of levels of the inverter. The phase shifting angle is uniform when the equal voltage sources are adopted. However, in applications where sets of different voltage source levels feed the H-Bridge cells, the Phase Shifted PWM suffers its high order harmonics elimination capability. As a solution to alleviate this problem, an adaptive variable angle approach is proposed in this paper using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to eliminate desired higher order harmonics. The algorithm is used to minimize the cost function based on high order sideband harmonics elimination equations. The results through MATLAB/Simulink environment shown in this paper confirm the reduction of sideband harmonics of higher orders, and the overall THD.

Mode Control

This paper deals with sliding mode control of converter and its application to distributed generation. Sliding mode control is used to control the voltage source converter in voltage or current control mode. Modeling and control of H bridge converter system using sliding mode control is proposed. Easily implemented sliding surfaces provide prominent dynamic characteristics against changes in the load and in the input voltage. Distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used to control the voltage of the bus to which it is connected to a balance sinusoid in respect of the harmonic distortion in supply or load side. A variable wind turbine generator is used to produces a variable DC voltage which is placed as input voltage source to converter of DSTATCOM. A control strategy for grid voltage control using DSTATCOM in voltage control mode has been implemented in respect of the wind variation. The results are validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.
