This paper presents the development of a control scheme for a multilevel diode-clamped converter connected in a series–parallel fashion to the electrical system such that it can compensate for deviations in utility voltage (sag, surge, and unbalance) and act as a harmonic and/or reactive current source for a load. New carrier-based multilevel pulsewidth modulation techniques are identified to m...

This paper investigates mitigation of current harmonics using different configuration of cascaded multilevel inverter based shunt hybrid active power filter (SHAPF) and to improve power quality of the system. The main objective of this paper is to develop and analyze the compensation characteristics of cascaded multilevel inverter based shunt hybrid active power filter by employing indirect cur...

In this paper, a new topology for boost Z-source inverterbased on switched-inductor cell is proposed. The operating modes of the proposed inverter are analyzed and also a suitable control method to generate the trigger signals of the inverter is presented. Having a common earth between the input source and inverter and capability to generate a higher voltage gain by using lower amounts of the d...

The aim of this project is to model a six step discontinuous current mode inverter fed to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The dq-axis Voltage-Current and Torque relation in terms of machine parameters are used along with a six step 120 degree mode inverter and gate drive using MATLAB/SIMULINK. There is also a provision for easy changes to the machine par...

Due to high dynamic response, current-controlled pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSI) are widely used in high performance AC drive system for Industrial applications. The main objective of current controller is to force the load current vector to follow the reference trajectory in the three-phase load. There are three types of current controllers used in voltage source inv...

This paper presents the design and analysis of a parallel connected inverter configuration of. The configuration consists of parallel connected three-phase dc/ac inverter. Series resistors added to the inverter output to maintain same current in each inverter of the two parallel inverters, and to reduce the circulating current in the parallel inverters to the minimum. High frequency third harmo...

With the development and advancement of power electronics devices in recent years, changes in the scenario in the field of controlling and handling the power quality issues have been very effective. FACTS devices are the outstanding approach. In this manuscript,we choose one such FACTS device known as STATCOM, a powerful shunt controller, for discussing its impact and depth how to tackle the po...

Active power filter are been widely used for harmonic elimination. Harmonics are generated by nonlinear load in ac distribution system. The active power filters are broadly classified as shunt active power filter, series active power filter and hybrid filters. With regard to circuit topology, there are two basic kinds of active filter, voltage source and current source. The series active power ...
