The multilevel inverter topology gives the advantages of usage in high power and high voltage application with reduced harmonic distortion without a transformer. This paper presents a comparative study of nine level diode clamped inverter for constant Switching frequency of sinusoidal Pulse width Modulation and sinusoidal Natural Pulse width Modulation with switching frequency Optimal Modulation.

The multilevel inverters have become more popular during the recent years. The multilevel inverters are applied in many industrial applications such as static VAR compensators, AC power supplies, drive systems, active power filters, etc. The topologies of multilevel inverter have several advantages such as low distortion in output voltage with relative low switching frequency, low harmonic and ...

This paper describes a silicon implementation of an Arti cial Neural Networks based on Coherent Pulse Width modulation techniques. Synapses use current generators controlled by an input Pulse Stream. Net charge generated is the product of synaptic current by pulse width. Neurons accumulate synaptic contributions and convert internal activation into an output Pulse Stream. A system optimized for...

We present an improved methodology for a thermal transient method enabling simultaneous measurement of thermal conductivity and specific heat of nanoscale structures with one-dimensional heat flow. The temporal response of a sample to finite duration heat pulse inputs for both short (1 ns) and long (5 ls) pulses is analyzed and exploited to deduce the thermal properties. Excellent agreement has...

n this paper work, sensorless speed control of three phase induction motor is to be carried out using predictive current method and space vector PWM. A closed loop estimation system is proposed with robustness against motor parameters variation is used for the control approach. The novelty of the presented solution is the integration of a simple observer for both speed/flux and current control ...

Sinusoidal pulse width modulation is a popular modulation for most alternating current induction motor. It only requires fewer calculations and is easy to implement. However, the shortcomings of using it are low DC voltage utilization, and poor inverter transmission capability. In recent years, there is an increasing trend and more research concentration of using space vector pulse width modula...

This paper considers the theoretical and experimental approaches to performance improvement of pneumatic linear actuators. Two On/Off, 3/2 pneumatic valves were used to control the position of a pneumatic piston rod through the closed-loop application of a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)-sliding mode algorithm. System parameters have been experimentally selected in order to reduce the tracking err...
