Matrix converter is basically direct three phase to three phase converter and it’s operation is based upon switching pattern of all nine switches, which are available in this converter. The output of ac converter is fed as the input of three phase induction motor. The performance of three phase matrix converter fed induction motor drive is analyzed by the switching pattern obtained by matrix co...

This paper presents an improved three-phase PFC power rectifier with a three-phase diode rectifier cascaded four-switch boost converter. Its operating principle contains the operating principle of two conventional three-phase PFC power rectifiers: one switch boost converter type and a two switch boost converter type. The operating characteristics of the four switch boost converter type three-ph...

This paper presents performance evaluation of an asymmetrical parameter type two-phase induction machine drive using two-phase three-leg voltage source converter (VSC) operating in motoring and generating modes. A system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The proposed converter system includes a machine side converter using a three-leg VSC and a front end converter using a single-phase full br...

The options for the regeneration of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) using hydrogen rich gas are investigated. The advantages of using hydrogen rich gas for this purpose are described. The system requirements for such a system are also evaluated. The use of a plasmatron fuel converter for the onboard generation of hydrogen rich gas from diesel fuel is discussed. The advantages of homogeneous, ...

Solution for the complete removal of carbon monoxide from the exhaust gases still poses a challenge to the researchers and this problem is still under development. Modeling for reduction of carbon monoxide is carried out using heterogeneous reaction using low cost non-noble metal based catalysts for the purpose of controlling emissions released to the atmosphere. A simple one-dimensional model ...
