Abstract— Distributed energy resources systems are small power generation tools used to afford substitute solution or added enrichment of traditional electric power system. This paper is mainly concentrated on 1Ø multi-level inverter for Distributed Energy Resources. The objective of this paper is to reduce switches with increase in multi-level outputs which inherently reduces the cost & harmon...

This paper presents the development of a resonant DC link inverter for an electric vehicle application. The resonant link frequency is approximately 70kHz and the inverter drives a low voltage 2.2kW AC induction motor. The IGBT inverter operates off a 240V DC supply and an active clamping circuit limits the resonant bus voltage to 500V. A synchronized PWM scheme is used to modulate the resonant...

In this paper, analysis of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter in DTC-SVM (Direct Torque Control-Space Vector Modulation) based induction motor drive for FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) is presented. Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter uses multiple series units of H-bridge power cells to achieve medium-voltage operation and low harmonic distortion. In FCEV, a fuel cell stack is used as t...

Major issues of NBI power supplies are a high-speed switching, regulation and transmission of dc ultra high voltage, and suppression of surge energy input to the beam source at breakdown. A GTO(gate turn off thyristor) inverter type power supply where the control is performed at low voltage ac side was designed for the ITER NB. Based on the remarkable progress of a high power IEGT (injection en...

In this Paper, complete models of three and six phase self commutated synchronous machine drives are presented, considering the effects of both time and space harmonics. First, the equations for calculation of machine inductances are developed. Next, "thyristor-inverter-electric machine" set is modeled in order to derive all the equations for conduction and commutation states. Finally, the resu...

In inverter design for electric vehicle applications there are several major requirements that should be met. The inverter should be able to operate bidirectionally with reasonably high efficiency under a high ambient temperature. Therefore it is critical to select the suitable main switches for the inverter. In this paper seven types of devices (including 3 dual IGBTs, 1 intelligent dual IGBT,...

A circuit of a multi-phase active power filter based on multi-stage inverter architecture was introduced. The paper is focused on building the MATLAB / Simulink model of an AC power supply system including a single-phase active power filter with a two-stage inverter. Each stage of the filter uses the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) method. The results confirmed high efficiency of such a compensatin...

This paper is about a PV system connected to the electric grid by power electronic converters, using classical PI controller. The modelling for the converters emulates the association of a DC-DC boost with a two-level power inverter (TwLI) or three-level power inverter (ThLI) in order to follow the performance of a testing experimental system. Pulse width modulation (PWMo) by sliding mode contr...

This technical report presents the design of a Z-source inverter for an electric bike controller. The objective of this work is to evaluate the potential of using this non-standard inverter topology for a medium power (250W 3kW) motor drive application. The Z-source inverter is able to use the shoot-through state to boost the dc bus voltage, which enables a permanent magnet motor to achieve a h...
