Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives are becoming more popular in industrial, traction applications. This makes the control of BLDC motor in all the four quadrants very vitalThe motor is operated in four steady state operating modes of torque-speed plane. To control a BLDC machine it is generally required to measure the speed and position of rotor by using the sensor because the inverter phases, ac...

A new software tool for learning the dynamic behavior of power electronics circuits is developed for undergraduate students. This tool incorporates the merits of two well-known software packages, namely, the realistic time-domain simulation of PSpice and the parametric identification process of MatLab. Hence, without going through complicated mathematics, the students can easily obtain the tran...

--------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------This paper deals with modelling and simulation of high step up DC – AC converter with micro source at the input. The 15V DC is stepped up to 230V DC using high step up DC-DC Converter. This DC is converted into AC using a single phase inverter. The DC-AC converter system i...

A new technique for solving polynomial nonlinear constrained optimal control problems is presented. The problem is reformulated into a parametric optimization problem, which in turn is solved in a two step procedure. First, in a pre-computation step, the equation part of the corresponding first order optimality conditions is solved for a generic value of the parameter. Relying on the underlying...

The averaged switch modeling technique unifies the modeling of PWM and resonant dc-dc converters, low-harmonic rectifiers, and inverters in a simple manner. This technique is briefly reviewed, and recent results in modeling current-programmed dc-dc converters, integrated single-phase low-harmonic rectifier-regulators, and single-switch three-phase lowharmonic rectifiers are described. A circuit...

Lightning protection for power supply of electronic equipment is an important problem of low-voltage lightning protection systems. In this paper, lightning characteristics of electronic equipment’s power supply are studied. Firstly impulse generator is developed. Then lightning characteristics tests for different powersupply, such as switch model power supply, are done. Test results show: diffe...

DC-DC power converters with multiple inputs and a single output are used in numerous applications where multiple sources, e.g., two or more renewable energy sources and/or a battery, feed a single load. In this work a classical boost converter topology with two input branches connected to two different sources is chosen, with each branch independently being controlled by a separate peak current...

This study proposes and implements maximum power Point Tracking (MPPT) control on thermoelectric generation system using an extremum seeking control (ESC) algorithm. The MPPT is applied to guarantee maximum power extraction from the TEG system. The work has been carried out through modelling of thermoelectric generator/dc-dc converter system using Matlab/Simulink. The effectiveness of ESC techn...

Linear-assisted DC/DC converters are structures that allow to take advantages of the two classic alternatives in the design of power supply systems: Voltage linear regulators (classic NPN topology or LDO –low dropout–) and switching DC/DC converters. This paper shows the proposal of a modified currentmode one-cycle control for linear-assisted DC/DC converters. The modified current-mode one-cycl...
