The Nyquist sampling theorem states that band limited signals may be represented without error by sampled data. Among the effects which place additional restrictions on the signal, beyond those which are given by the Nyquist theorem, are aperture effects. Aperture effects such as aperture jitter, and aperture time, contribute to a signal degradation which is frequency dependent. In applications...

This paper presents some implementation details of a threephase to three-phase matrix converter prototype. The bidirectional semiconductor switches were built using discrete IGBTs and fast diodes.

Multilevel converters are powerful converters in the medium-voltage high-power range. Inside this family of converters, the three-level neutral point clamped converter has its own importance. The main control methods associated with this converter are the carrier-based PWM with added DC components and the space vector PWM. Two of the most important features of the NPC converter are the neutral ...

Matrix converter is a single-stage converter which directly connects a three-phase voltage source to a three-phase load without dc-link components. Therefore, any harmonic distortion and imbalance in input voltage directly reflect to the output of the converter. Recently, many researchers have made an effort to cope with this problem. In this paper, under distorted input voltage conditions, beh...

Pulse width modulation strategies have been developed for indirect matrix converters (IMCs) in order to improve their performance. In indirect matrix converters, the LC input filter is used to remove input current harmonics and electromagnetic interference problems. Unfortunately, due to the existence of the input filter, the input power factor is diminished, especially during operation at low ...

We propose a method for rapid prototyping of three-phase AC drive system educational purposes. The proposed allows college students to design and manufacture comprising inverters, permanent-magnet (PM) machine, controller, sensors within semester. process, which requires less than day, enables efficient iteration testing during the development process. In addition addressing electrical consider...

In this paper, two vector control systems for investigating the performance of Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) in steady state conditions are presented that are based on famous d-q axis theory. The workability of proposed method to simplify the SSSC mathematical expressions is shown. The performance of SSSC with two different vector controllers, first based on d-q line current...

The present paper is focused on short-term prediction of air-conditioning (AC) load of residential buildings using the data obtained from a conventional smart meter. The AC load, at each time step, is separated from smart meter’s aggregate consumption through energy disaggregation methodology. The obtained air-conditioning load and the corresponding historical weather data are then employed as ...
