This paper discuss about PV cell energy based space-vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) control methods applied for an H-bridge inverter feeding a 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) in electric-vehicle (EV) applications. EVs require a high degree of availability continuity of service. Advantages using svpwm minimization of switching losses, balancing of switching rate between...

This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...

This paper proposes two new soft-switching transformerless converters with high voltage conversion ratio. These proposed converters achieve soft-switching each with a single auxiliary resonant cell. The merit of these converters is reduced switching losses with lesser number of devices. The main switching devices are turned off with zero current switching (ZCS). Apart from the soft-switching fe...

voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. this paper proposes optimizing the size and location of static var compensator (svc) devices using a fuzzy weighted seeker optimization algorithm (fwsoa), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. although the primary purpose of svc is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...

the direct torque control (dtc) of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (ipmsm) offers simple structure and fast torque response. the conventional switching table-based dtc (st-dtc) presents some disadvantages like high torque and flux ripple and also variable switching frequency. this paper investigates the improved st-dtc strategies to reduce both torque and flux ripple in dtc of ipmsm...

The distribution systems (DS) reconfiguration problem is formulated in this paper as a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) multi-period problem, enforcing that the obtained topology is radial in order to exploit several advantages those configurations offer. The effects of distributed generation (DG) and energy storage systems (ESS) are also investigated. To address the mult...

This paper presents an approach to the reconfiguration of radial distribution networks, for both loss reduction and service restoration, using the same metaheuristic tool: the simulated annealing algorithm. Besides the main objective of each problem (minimizing losses or load not supplied) minimization of the total number of switching device operations is also included as a possible criterion. ...
