Multilevel voltage source inverter has been recognized as an important alternative to the normal two level voltage source inverter, especially in high power application. Using multilevel technique, the output voltage amplitude is increased, switching devices stress is reduced and the overall harmonics profile is improved. Three presentable topologies can b considered for multilevel inverter (ML...

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Simple Tuning algorithm applied on a Fuzzy Pulse Width Modulation controller in a real situation with DC gear motors. The fuzzy logic model proposed to control motor’s no-load speed consists in 25 rules based on Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System. A hardware implementation and an interface are designed for controlling the plant. In addition...

It is known from the fact that Harmonic Distortion is one of the main power quality problems frequently encountered by the utilities. The harmonic problems in the power supply are caused by the non-linear characteristic based loads. The presence of harmonics leads to transformer heating, electromagnetic interference and solid state device mal-functioning. Hence keeping in view of the above conc...

The main topic of this paper is to examine the impact on induction machine magnetic noise of a new stator magnetic circuit design. This new design was developed in order to increase AC machine energetic performance by assembling non-segmented shifted grainoriented steel sheets which make it possible to reduce iron losses. Experimental results on induction machine efficiency increase are present...

The optimal torque control of a synchronous machine is a classical problem. This paper presents an alternative to SVM (Space Vector Modulation which belongs to PWM approaches) based upon direct boolean control. The result is a predictive method allowing an optimal torque control of the synchronous machine. A comparison between both approaches will be proposed . Copyright  2002 IFAC

In order to reduce the torque ripple of a switched reluctance motor in electric vehicles, space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) driving method for (SRM) is proposed. With ring structure, three-phase SRM can be driven by using standard full-bridge power converter instead conventional asymmetric H-bridge. Based on this type topology, an SVPWM applied SRM. The compared H-bridge, results show...

This article describes software application, that generates voltage pulses. The input commands are Musical Instruments digital interface messages. As already mentioned the name of it is the interface that is used primarily to control musical instruments through the computer. But this software is mentioned for all electridcal device without any communication protocol. E.g. DMX protocol and other...
