Inverter Topology

Simulation of switched capacitor inverter topology with boost facility is presented in this paper. The main merits of this inverter topology with boos facility are highly adaptable for Photo Voltaic (PV) applications. The inverter is capable of boosting up low voltage DC into high voltage DC and then invert it to the required voltage level with a single stage. The switched capacitor inverter has a special extended structure, which minimizes the number of components and devices when compared to the other inverter is switched by the means of level shifting carrier based Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. Further, some of the switches in the topology operate in the low frequency and this resulted in a reduction in switching losses thereby increasing the efficiency. This maintains the capacitor voltages at a balanced level. The simulation results are verified through MATLAB/Simulink.

The demand for clean and sustainable energy has prompted research into all types of renewable energy sources, including solar energy generated by photovoltaic systems. We suggest a new multi level inverter topology in this paper. This paper looks at a PV-based 13-level multi level inverter with fewer switches. The most gainful power converters for high power applications and modern applications with fewer switches are multi level inverters. PWM methodology is used to manage the proposed topology. The proposed topology has one of the highest efficiency and lower voltage THD. The inverter produces output voltage in thirteen levels: Vdc, Vdc/2, Vdc/3, Vdc/4, Vdc/5, Vdc/6, 0, -Vdc, -Vdc/2, -Vdc/3, -Vdc/4, -Vdc/5 and -Vdc/6. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through simulation. KEY WORDS: Pulse Width modulation (PWM), Photo Voltaic (PV) Source.

Hybrid Frequency

The three unit nine-level inverter can output more voltage levels with fewer h-bridge units, while having better output waveform quality. However, in the conventional hybrid frequency modulation strategy, only one low-voltage unit adopts pulse width modulation (PWM), which causes the problem of switching loss and uneven heat distribution between the two low-voltage units. At the same time, the output power of the conventional modulation strategy is unbalanced. Aiming to resolve the above problems, a modified hybrid modulation strategy and a power balance control method under the strategy is proposed in this paper. The modulation strategy achieves output power balance between the three units and an even distribution of switching losses between the two low voltage units while maintaining the same output power quality. Simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the modulation strategy.

Power losses are the most critical metrics in power converters analysis and has a significant impact on economic and technological assessments due to its sufficient approximation. This article aims to prove that the power losses (Switching & Conduction losses) are very low in low frequency switching modulation in contrast with high switching frequency modulation. Two switching modulation techniques Phase Disposition (PD-multi carrier-based pulse width modulation at high switching frequency) and Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation (SHEPWM-fundamental switching frequency) are considered for the power loss assessment in 15-level reduced switch asymmetric multi-level inverter. This work proposed a simplified model for calculation of switching losses in multilevel inverters using MATAB SIMULINK. Further, the thermal model of the proposed inverter is implemented on PLECS for analyzing the power losses. The comparative analysis of switching and conduction losses of the proposed inverter with the PLECS thermal model and MATLAB precise models are integral part of this research.

Few switching transitions in high power and medium voltage application of Power converters are desirable. The selective harmonics elimination (SHE) pulse width modulation offers a better quality waveform with lower switching transitions and hence lower switching losses. The SHE is a pre-programmed modulation technique where certain amounts of lower order harmonics are removed and fundamental voltage is controlled. After Fourier analysis of output waveform, a set of nonlinear transcendental equations is obtained which exhibits, multiple, unique or no solution in different range of modulation index (MI). In this paper, an iterative method based on the Jacobian estimate is proposed to solve a highly non-linear set of SHE equations. The proposed technique is easy in implementation and can solve a large number of such equations as computation of the Jacobian matrix in the subsequent iteration is estimated from the previous values.  Moreover, the proposed method also removes the singularity problem, especially for large SHE equations. High accuracy in the initial guess is also not essential for this method and can converge to the solution with any random initial guess. The computational and simulation results are given to validate the concept. The hardware result is provided to confirm the computational and simulation results.

This paper presents a relatively new concept for the design and implementation of a grid-tie inverter for photo voltaic (PV) systems. The proposed method will eliminate the uses of battery pack hence overall cost of any PV project will be significantly reduced. As the output of any PV array varies with the variation of solar irradiance hence a boost converter with PID regulated variable duty cycle has been used to keep a constant input to the inverter. Multilevel inverter topology has been proposed for utility grid connectivity. The proposed design is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and a prototype is also implemented to verify the simulation results. The controllers are implemented in Arduino microcontroller board.

Linear control is widely used for any fluid or air flows in many automobile, robotics, and hydraulics applications. According to signal level, valve can be controlled linearly. But, for many valves, hydraulics or air is not easy to control proportionally because of flows dynamics. As a conventional solution, electronic driver has up and down limits. After manually settling up and down limits, control unit has proportional blind behavior between two points. This study offers a novel valve control method merging pulse width and amplitude modulation in the same structure. Proposed method uses low voltage AC signal to understand the valve position and uses pulse width modulation for power transfer to coil. DC level leads to controlling the valve and AC signal gives feedback related to core moving. Any amplitude demodulator gives core position as voltage. Control unit makes reconstruction using start and end points to obtain linearization at zero control signal and maximum control signal matched to minimum demodulated amplitude level. Proposed method includes self-learning abilities to keep controlling in hard environmental conditions such as dust, temperature, and corrosion. Thus, self-learning helps to provide precision control for hard conditions.
