<p>This paper concerns the experimental investigations of the three-phase line commutated SCR inverter fed synchronous motor.  The fabricated system consists of a line-commuted inverter, a three-phase synchronous motor with the excitation winding connected in series to the inverter input, a terminal voltage sensor and a gate-pulse generating circuit. The firing pulses for SCRs of the inverter are generated by the microprocessor in proper sequence with the help of synchronizing signal derived from the terminal voltages of the synchronous machine. The steady state performance characteristics are obtained experimentally using the fabricated system. The experimental results show that a three-phase synchronous motor supplied by a line commutated inverter with the excitation winding connected in series to the dc link provide  excellent characteristics of the conventional dc series motor.</p>

This paper proposes a model predictive voltage control (MPVC) strategy with duty cycle control for grid-connected three-phase inverters with output LCL filter. The model of the system is used to predict the capacitor filter voltage according to the future output current for each possible switching state at each sampling period. Then the cost function for each prediction is determined and the switching state is selected. In the proposed method, two voltage vectors are applied during one sampling interval to achieve better steady-state performance. Finally, the optimal duration of the nonzero voltage vector is defined based on the duty cycle optimization, which is vital to the control system. The proposed strategy offers a better reference tracking error with less THD in linear and nonlinear load situations. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified by MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results exhibit a better steady-state performance with less sampling frequency.

An excitation control scheme for a two-axis excited synchronous motor is described, which, by the direct connection of the quadrature field winding and the armature circuit through a diode bridge rectifier, enables the motor power factor to be maintained at approximately unity, irrespective of load. The steady-state performance based on a simple phasor diagram is verified by experimental results.

Conventional model predictive control (MPC)-based direct power control of the three-phase full-bridge AC/DC converter usually suffers from the parametric coupling between active and reactive powers. A reference change of either the active or reactive power will influence the other, deteriorating the dynamic-state performance. In addition, the steady-state performance affected by one-step-delay arising from computation and communication processes in the digital implementation should be improved in consideration of switching frequency reduction. In combination with the proposed novel mutual influence elimination constraint, this paper proposes the multi-functional MPC for three-phase full-bridge AC/DC converters to improve both the steady and dynamic performances simultaneously. It has various advantages such as one-step-delay compensation, power ripple reduction, and switching frequency reduction for steady-state performance as well as mutual influence elimination for dynamic capability. The simulation and experimental results are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
