The output impedance matrix of a grid-connected converter plays an important role in analyzing system stability. Due to the dynamics of the DC-link control and the phase locked loop (PLL), the output impedance matrices of the converter and grid are difficult to be diagonally decoupled simultaneously, neither in the dq domain nor in the phase domain. It weakens the effectiveness of impedance-bas...

This paper is focused on Fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm based field oriented control system for induction motor fed by Matrix Converter drive. The use of fuzzy ELM algorithm based ANN Controllers in the FOC system reduces the computation time. The controller is used to compute the appropriate set of switching voltage vectors for matrix converter to achieve the maximum efficiency...

An ultrasonic welding system typically consists of four components: power supply, PZT converter, booster and horn. Among them, PZT converter converts electrical power into mechanical power. To improve the power delivery, the input electrical impedance of converter should be reduced. In the present study, influences of piezoelectric ring thickness and thickness of matching and backing layers on ...

In this paper, a new type of ac/ac converter is proposed. The proposed converter is capable of direct ac/ac power conversion and, except for a few small snubber elements, it does not require the use of any input inductors or a dc-link capacitor. In contrast to the matrix converter, which requires bidirectional switches, the proposed converter consists of only unidirectional switches such as ins...

Solid-state transformer (SST); Medium frequency transformer; AC/AC converter; Matrix converter Abstract This paper presents a novel topology of solid-state transformer (SST). In the design process, the AC/DC, DC/AC and AC/AC converters have been integrated to achieve higher efficiency. To obtain higher efficiency from other SST with DC-link topologies, the AC/DC and DC/AC converters have been i...

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of three phase Voltage Back to Back Converter (VBBC) and three phase Matrix Converter (MC)fed Induction Motor (IM) drive. These two topologies are developed using Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique and simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Both the topologies are functionally equivalent in terms of input power quality and energy regeneration capabilitie...
