Controlling the speed of the Induction Motor is very essential in today’s industry. Conventionally Gear box is used for speed control which consumes more energy. This Paper presents the Modeling and Simulation of frequency converter used for speed control of asynchronous motor through digital approach which has high reliability and energy conservation by using MATLAB/ SimulinkTM. The Frequency ...

This paper presents a novel sparse matrix converter configuration that needs no bulky energy storage capacitors or inductors, and employs only unidirectional power semiconductor switches. The source side bridge is switched at the line frequency and therefore, this allows the use of the low speed high power rating switches. This feature and the use of diode-clamped multilevel topology at the out...

This paper describes the modeling and control of a three-phase grid-connected converter fed by a photovoltaic array. The converter is composed of an isolated DC-DC converter and a three-phase DC-AC voltage source inverter The converters are modeled in order to obtain small-signal transfer functions that are used in the design of three closed-loop controllers: for the output voltage of the PV ar...

We demonstrate a two-stage wavelength converter that uses compact near-infrared sources to amplify and convert short-wave infrared signals. The first stage consists of a photonic crystal fiber wavelength converter pumped by a Q-switched 1064 nm pump source, while the second stage consists of a silicon photonic wire waveguide wavelength converter. The system enables on-chip amplification and con...

This paper presents a new high-power step-up DC/DC converter topology with high-frequency isolation intended for residential fuel cell power systems. In contrast to traditional voltage source converters, the proposed topology utilizes the Z-source (impedance source) network represented by a combination of two inductors and two capacitors on the input side of the DC/DC converter. Due to the spec...

This paper deals with the study of different type of MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithms in a solar photovoltaic system (SPV) in order to extract maximum power from the solar modules. Here the solar array is integrated with the grid to provide power, as the traditional sources of power generation is depleting at a faster rate and also to provide power during peak hours in urban areas...

The loading of free wheel diodes (FWD) and IGBTs in the power modules of a Voltage Source Converter (VSC) are investigated. In converter duty, the FWD is utilized more then the IGBT. Presently, most FWD’s in power modules are optimized for inverter duty. This practice tends to undersize the FWD from a converter viewpoint. This design philosophy is examined in the paper. For this purpose, the or...

The soft switching DC-DC converter consists of high frequency inverter, high frequency power transformer and controlled output rectifier with new secondary energy recovery turn-off snubber. Circulating current in the c...

In this paper, a new topology for cascaded multilevel inverter based on quasi-Z-source converter is proposed. In the proposed topology the magnitude of output DC voltage is not limited to the sum of magnitude of DC voltage sources. Moreover, the reliability of the circuit due to capability of short circuit by Z-source network is increased. The quasi-Z- source converter in different modes is ana...
