Nowadays, because of the need to decrease fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and also their capability of exchanging power with the grid and regulating the frequency and voltage of the grid at different times of the day, electric vehicles are used more than before all across the world. It is highly important to pay attention to the efficiency, and decrease in the weight and volume of...

The sensorless model predictive force control (SMPFC) is a strong method for controlling the drives of three-phase 4(6)-switch inverter linear induction motors. This kind of inverter can be employed for fault tolerant control in order to solve the problem of open/short circuit in 6-switch inverters (B6). This paper proposed a method for the SMPFC of a linear induction motor (LIM) with a 4-switc...

This paper proposes a capacitance estimation method of the dc-link capacitor for brushless DC motor (BLDCM) drive systems. In order to estimate the dc-link capacitance, the BLDCM is operated in quadrant-II or -IV among four-quadrant operation. Quadrant-II and -IV are called reverse braking and forward braking, respectively. During the braking operation of the BLDCM, the capacitor is charged by ...

This paper presents the dc-link capacitor balancing control scheme and effective current regulation algorithms for the modular cascaded converters (MCCs). The analytical model for the dc-link voltage balancing and capacitor energy mechanism are presented. Based on the devised control models, an effective control method is devised for the dc-link capacitor voltages, i.e., the sum capacitor volta...

─ the paper describes the operational principle of flying capacitor and modular multilevel inverters. The detailed discussions of dc link capacitors voltage balancing methods for both inverters are given in order to enable fair comparison. The causes of dc link capacitors voltage imbalance in flying capacitor multilevel inverter with more than three levels are highlighted. Computer simulation i...

In this paper mainly presents about the DSTATCOM and control methodology of DC capacitor voltage, generally, the dc capacitor voltage is regulated using a PI controller when various control algorithms are used for load compensation. However, during load changes, there is considerable variation in dc capacitor voltage which might affect compensation. In this work, a fuzzy logic based supervisory...

The instantaneous response of the distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is very important while compensating rapidly varying balanced, unbalanced and nonlinear loads. Any change in the load affects the dc-link voltage directly. The proper operation of DSTATCOM requires variation of the dc-link voltage within the prescribed limits. Conventionally, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is ...

The main aim of this project is ,this topology enables UPQC to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability. Three-phase, four-wire unified Power Quality (UPQC) to improve power quality. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The realization of shunt APF is carried out using a t...
