The increase in penetration levels of distributed generators like PV and Wind in a distribution system makes the IEEE 519 standard to be a vital aspect towards power quality. The network resonance has been described by IEEE 519 as a major contributor towards the harmonic distortion. Non-linear loads such as transformers, machines, silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), solid state devices, power transistors,...
This paper presents Indirect Matrix Converter(IMC) with improved control supplying power to different loads at different frequencies. An improved switching technique is used at the input stage of this proposed IMC so that a higher dc voltage is obtained compared to the IMC with conventional control. The fundamental input current is at unity power factor for all operating conditions. In this IMC, the...
In order to improve the efficiency, we should know the loss characteristics of inverter-fed induction motors. We first have to accurately measure the total motor losses, and then obtain each loss component by reasonably separate the total motor losses. In this paper, the total losses of a 5.5 kW, a 22 kW, a 30 kW, a 37 kW, a 45 kW and a 55 kW induction motors under sinusoidal supply and PWM inverter...
In this paper, a dual parallel connected brushless direct current (BLDC) motors drive system fed by a single inverter is presented and the control method for stable operation in electric vehicles (EVs) application is proposed. To obtain the stability of such a system, both motors should always be respect the synchronism even if they have different load torque. The proposed control method is based...
The linear vernier permanent-magnet (LVPM) motor incorporates the merits of high efficiency and low cost, which is very suitable for long stroke applications. This paper proposed a new direct thrust force control for dual inverter fed open-end winding LVPM motor to reduce force ripple. First, the topology and structural characteristics of the LVPM motor are briefly presented. Second, the mathematic...
The open-ended winding configuration allows feeding an electric motor from two sides. If one of them is connected to an inverter closed on a floating capacitor, operating as an active power filter, it is possible to obtain several benefits over the traditional configuration, such as an extended field weakening speed range and a lower current ripple. However, the additional converter causes switching...
In automotive testing systems, effective and efficient control strategies are required to control the induction motor drives so that fast torque response and low torque ripple can be obtained. The fast torque response can be obtained by using predictive current control (PCC) due to its high bandwidth over a wide speed range; and the torque ripple can be reduced by using open-end winding induction...
In this paper, we investigate the variation in characteristics of variable speed induction motors fed by inverters with grades of core materials used for stators and rotors from both results of measurement and finite element analysis. Identical shaped stator/rotor cores are manufactured by using several kinds of electrical steel sheets from low to high grades. Then, the characteristics of these motors...
Steady-state motor efficiency control has been shown to provide significant motor loss savings and efficiency improvement. Including adjustable speed drive inverter losses into the steady-state motor control optimization is also of interest. What is shown here is the effect that these two efficiency improvement schemes have on the distribution of losses between the motor and the inverter when an efficiency...
Sucker Rod Pump is a prevalent industrial solution in artificial lift applications in oil industries. Linear motors are becoming more popular as they are applied in new applications in various fields. Linear motors may be employed in artificial lift systems by placing a linear motor downhole to drive the reciprocating pump directly. This system is intended to extend the application of reciprocating...
In this paper, a new hybrid multilevel six-phase machine drive system topology is proposed and investigated. Such topology is composed of two three-level three-phase neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters and a traditional two-level three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with isolated DC-links feeding the open-end windings (OEW) of a six-phase induction motor (SPIM). The system model, operating...
This paper provides an experimental discussion on a power hardware-in-the-loop-simulation (P-HILS) system for a medium-voltage, high-power, high-speed synchronous-motor drive. It consists of two identical modular multilevel double-star chopper-cell (DSCC) converters connected in front-to-front (FTF) without ac-link transformer. One DSCC inverter acts as a “real inverter under test,” while the other...
A new scheme for Direct Torque Control (DTC) of dual inverter fed Induction Motor (IM) with open end stator winding is presented in this paper. This scheme eliminates common mode voltage from the windings there by facilitating both inverters to draw power from a common DC source without circulation of common mode currents though the windings and switches. A major advantage of this DTC scheme is the...
Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) has become very popular form of predictive control among the technical society. Thank to its flexibility and well understood and simple structure, it is well suited for control of ac drives. It represents very interesting alternative for conventional control schemes based on cascade structures with PI controllers. The substantial advantage of MPC...
This paper presents the use of a novel method dealing with mathematical morphology to de-noise spectral contents. This approach is based on two fundamental operators which are dilation and erosion. This type of filter does not need a huge computing time because the operations involved are simple. The goal of this filter in the application considered in this paper is to de-noise the spectrum of the...
Open-end winding induction motor can be powered by double inverters at both ends. Comparing with conventional single-ended inverter induction motor drive, this new configuration produces some advantages, such as high error tolerance capability, high flexibility, and low DC voltage rating, and so on. Under single DC power supply however, the zero-sequence currents may be produced by the common mode...
