Development of Class D Inverter for Acoustics Energy Transfer Implantable Dev...IJPEDS-IAES

Alternating current (AC) electrical drives mainly require smaller current (or torque) ripples and lower total harmonic distortion (THD) of voltage for excellent drive performances. Normally, in practice, to achieve these requirements, the inverter needs to be operated at high switching frequency. By operating at high switching frequency, the size of filter can be reduced. However, the inverter which oftenly employs insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) for high power applications cannot be operated at high switching frequency. This is because, the IGBT switching frequency cannot be operated above 50 kHz due to its thermal restrictions. This paper proposes an alternate switching strategy to enable the use of IGBT for operating the inverter at high switching frequency to improve THD performances. In this strategy, each IGBT in a group of switches in the modified inverter circuit will operate the switching frequency at one-fourth of the inverter switching frequency. The alternate switching is implemented using simple analog and digital integrated circuits.

Environmental factors such as air pollution and increase in global warming by using polluting fuels are the most important reasons of using renewable and clean energy that runs in global community. Wind energy is one of the most suitable and widely used kind of renewable energy which had been in consideration so well. This paper introduces an electric power generation
system of wind based on Y-source and improved Y-source inverter to deliver optimal electrical power to the network. This new converter is from impedance source converters family. This presented converter has more degrees of freedom to adjust voltage gain and modulation. Also, by limiting the range of simultaneous control (shooting through) while it maintains the

This paper provides a new approach to reducing high-order harmonics in 400 Hz inverter using a three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) converter. A voltage control loop using the harmonic compensation combined with NPC clamping diode control technology. The capacitor voltage imbalance also causes harmonics in the output voltage. For 400 Hz inverter, maintain a balanced voltage between the two input (direct current) (DC) capacitors is difficult because the pulse width modulation (PWM) modulation frequency ratio is low compared to the frequency of the output voltage. A method of determining the current flowing into the capacitor to control the voltage on the two balanced capacitors to ensure fast response reversal is also given in this paper. The combination of a high-harmonic resonator controller and a neutral-point voltage controller working together on the 400 Hz NPC inverter structure is given in this paper.

Since many years ago, kitchen appliances are powered up by cable connected. This create a troublesome case as wire might tangle together and cause kitchen table messy. Due to this, wireless power technology (WPT) is introduced as its ability is to transmit power to load without physical contact. This leads to cordless solution better in safety as the product can be completely seal, highly expandable power range. This work focuses on the design of WPT based on inductive approach to power up multiple kitchen appliances. The selection of inductive approach over its partners capacitive and acoustic is mainly due to high power efficiency. Class E inverter is proposed here to convert the DC to AC current to drive the inductive link. A 1 MHz operating frequency is used. To ensure the circuit is robust with load variations, an LCCL impedance matching is proposed. This solution is table to maintain the output power if there is a slight change in load impedance. Finally, the developed prototype is able to supply 50V utput which can achieve power transmission up to 81.76%.
Investigations on Capacitor Compensation Topologies Effects of Different Indu...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents investigations on capacitor compensation topologies with
different inductive coupling links for loosely coupled inductive power
transfer (IPT) system. In general, the main constraint of the loosely coupled
IPT system is power losses due to the large leakage inductances. Therefore,
to overcome the aforementioned problem, in this work, capacitor
compensation is proposed to be used by adding an external capacitor to the
system. By using this approach, the resonant inductive coupling can be
achieved efficiently and hence the efficiency of the system is also increased
significantly. This paper analyzes the performance of two different
compensation topologies, which are primary series-secondary series (SS) and
primary series- secondary parallel (SP) topology. The performance of such
topologies is evaluated through the experimental results at 1MHz operating
frequency for different types of inductive coupling. From the results, SS
topology produces a high power transfer but SP topology gives better
efficiency.

Grid tied photovoltaic (PV) system is an operation mode of PV system working together with utility power supply to provide power to the power load. Conventionally, transformer is used together with the power inverter. The power transformer works as galvanic insolation amongst PV system and power grid. It works also to raise the voltage of power inverter. However, use of transformer will add system complexity, price, weight and size of the entire system. Transformer-less system is an alternative to make the system simpler and more practical in use. The paper discusses performance of transformer-less grid tied PV systems using diode clamped and neutral point shorted inverters. Effects of transformer elimination to the feat of the grid tied PV system especially harmonics content and leakage current of PV system were examined and analyzed. The performance was also compared with the traditional system using H-bridge inverter. The leakage currents did not flow in the system applying diode clamped inverter, and neutral point shorted inverter. In case of harmonics content, the diode clamped inverter injected less harmonics components than the neutral point shorted inverter. The neutral point shorted provides a simpler inverter circuit in the transformerless systems.

The electronic load using the boost converter is compared with the electronic load using the linear regulator. The results show that the boost converter able to operate as an electronic load with an error lower than 0.5% and response time lower than 13 ms.
The document summarizes research on using a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) with a Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) to mitigate power quality issues for a welding load. It describes modeling a DVR system using MATLAB/Simulink to compensate for voltage sags, swells and total harmonic distortion (THD) injected at the source. Simulation results show the DVR is able to maintain a constant output voltage and current at the load during faults, regulating the voltage. The ZSI provides benefits like boosting the DC link voltage, reducing current and voltage ripples, and operating under short circuits. The control strategy uses sinusoidal pulse width modulation to generate gate pulses for the inverter.
In this paper a hardware implementation of single-phase cascaded H-bridge three level multilevel inverter (MLI) using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) is presented. There are a few interesting features of using this configuration, where less component count, less switching losses, and improved output voltage/current waveform. The output of power inverter consists of three form, that is, square wave, modified square wave and pure sine wave. The pure sine wave and modified square wave are more expensive than square wave. The focus paper is to generate a PWM signal which control the switching of MOSFET power semiconductor. The sine wave can be created by using the concept of Schmitt-Trigger oscillator and low-pass filter topology followed by half of the waveform will be eliminated by using the circuit of precision half-wave rectifier. Waveform was inverted with 180º by circuit of inverting op-amp amplifier in order to compare saw-tooth waveform. Two of PWM signal were produced by circuit of PWM and used digital inverter to invert the two PWM signal before this PWM signal will be passed to 2 MOSFET driver and a 3-level output waveform with 45 Hz was produced. As a conclusion, a 3-level output waveform is produced with output voltage and current recorded at 22.5 Vrms and 4.5 Arms. The value of measured resistance is 0.015 Ω that cause voltage drop around 0.043 V. Based on the result obtained, the power for designed inverter is around 100W and efficiency recorded at 75%.
An inverter system applied with the PV source typically has a problem of lower input voltage due to constraint in the PV strings connection. As a countermeasure a DC-DC boost converter is placed in between to achieve a higher voltage at the inverter DC link for connection to the grid and to realize the MPPT operation. This additional stage contributes to losses and complexity in control thus reducing the overall system efficiency. This work discussed on the design and development of a grid-connected quasi-Z-source PV inverter which has different topology and control method compared to the conventional voltage source inverter and able to overcome the above disadvantages. Modelling and performance analysis of the voltage and current controller to achieve a good power transfer from the PV source, as well sycnchronization with the grid are presented in detail. Results from both simulation and experimental verification demonstrate the designed and developed grid-connected qZSI PV inverter works successfully equivalent to the conventional voltage source inverter system.
This paper presents a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) interface for delivering both active and reactive powers. The PV interface employs H-bridge topology DC-DC converter and inverter with analog control technology. The power flow is controlled solely by the adjustable DC output voltage of the DC to DC converter. In order to evaluate the PV interface system’s performances, it is tested by delivering power to the grid with low pawer factor. The experimental results show that at 300W active load, the inverter could deliver the reactive power of 400VAR. The PV interface could also produce very low harmonic voltage and current distorsions. The laboratory measurements show that the total harmonic distortions of inverter output voltage and current are 0.46% and 0.05%, respectively.
A new control methods for offshore grid connected wind energy conversion syst...IAEME Publication
This document summarizes a new control method for an offshore wind energy conversion system using a doubly fed induction generator and Z-source inverter. Two control methods are proposed - capacitor voltage control and DC-link voltage control. Simulation results show that for capacitor voltage control, the rotor speed tracks the maximum power point, extracted mechanical power tracks maximum turbine power, and capacitor voltage is kept constant. The power delivered to the grid matches the extracted mechanical power. DC-link voltage control maintains a constant DC-link voltage while capacitor voltage and power outputs vary with shoot-through time. Capacitor voltage control regulates power transfer more effectively.

A new bidirectional multilevel inverter topology with a high number of voltage levels with a very reduced number of power components is proposed in this paper. Only TEN power switches and four asymmetric DC voltage sources are used to generate 25 voltage levels in this new topology. The proposed multilevel converter is more suitable for e-mobility and photovoltaic applications where the overall energy source can be composed of a few units/associations of several basic source modules. Several benefits are provided by this new topology: Highly sinusoidal current and voltage waveforms, low Total Harmonic Distortion, very low switching losses, and minimum cost and size of the device. For optimum control of this 25-level voltage inverter, a special Modified Hybrid Modulation technique is performed. The proposed 25-level inverter is compared to various topologies published recently in terms of cost, the number of active power switches, clamped diodes, flying capacitors, DC floating capacitors, and the number of DC voltage sources. This comparison clearly shows that the proposed topology is cost-effective, compact, and very efficient. The effectiveness and the good performance of the proposed multilevel power converter (with and without PWM control) are verified and checked by computational simulations.

Through the proposed system, the battery of an electric car can be charged wirelessly, thus removing the annoying wires of the conventional electric vehicle charging system. The reduction in size of the charging system, power losses and optimum efficiency are among the advantages of the proposed system. MATLAB/Simulink (MLS) has been used to simulate the proposed model. Selected simulation result are presented to verify the proposed work.

The electrical and environmental parameters of polymer solar cells (PSC) provide important information on their performance. In the present article we study the influence of temperature on the voltage-current (I-V) characteristic at different temperatures from 10 °C to 90 °C, and important parameters like bandgap energy Eg, and the energy conversion efficiency η. The one-diode electrical model, normally used for semiconductor cells, has been tested and validated for the polemeral junction. The PSC used in our study are formed by the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Our technique is based on the combination of two steps; the first use the Least Mean Squares (LMS) method while the second use the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The found results are compared to other recently published works, they show that the developed approach is very accurate. This precision is proved by the minimal values of statistical errors (RMSE) and the good agreement between both the experimental data and the I-V simulated curves. The obtained results show a clear and a monotonic dependence of the cell efficiency on the studied parameters.

Renewable Energy Based on Current Fed Switched Inverter for Smart Grid Applic...MangaiK4
Abstract - Renewable energy is used in the current fed switched inverter for high power production. High voltage support, wide yield ranges of operation, shoot-through resistance are a portion of the desired properties of an inverter for a reliable, versatile and less ripple AC inversion. This paper proposes a single stage, high boost inverter with buck-boost capacity which has a few particular advantages over traditional voltage source inverters (VSI) like better EMI noise, wide input and output voltage range of operation, and so on. The proposed inverter is named as Current-Fed Switched Inverter (CFSI). A renewable energy based converter structure of CFSI has been created which supplies both AC and DC loads, at the same time, from a single DC supply which makes it reasonable for DC smart grid application. This paper proposes the operation and control of a CFSI based converter which directs the AC and DC conversion voltages at their reference. The advancement of the proposed converter from essential current fed DC/DC topology is explained. The closed loop controller is verified by using the MATLAB/ Simulink environment.
A novel fuzzy logic control for a zero current switching-based buck converte...IJECEIAES
This research provides a new control technique for mitigating conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a buck converter designed for solar applications. Indeed, hard-switching direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converters, commonly used in industrial applications, pose a significant risk to the surrounding environment regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Usually, the fast-switching phase induces abrupt changes in current and voltage, which adds to substantial electromagnetic interference in both conducted and radiated modes and excessive auditory noise. An architecture based on the duality of soft-switching topology and fuzzy logic control technology is developed to address these issues. On the one hand, resonant circuit topologies are used to induce switches to achieve soft switching conditions, which subsequently lessen the effects of EMI. On the other hand, the adoption of fuzzy logic control technology is interesting since it can reduce electrical stresses during switching. Furthermore, the simulation results show that zero current switching (ZCS) soft-switching closed-loop fuzzy logic converters outperform typical open-loop converters and softswitching closed-loop converters with proportional integral (PI) control in terms of EMC requirements.

A method of determining the current flowing into the capacitor to control the voltage on the two balanced capacitors to ensure fast response reversal is also given in this paper. The combination of a high-harmonic resonator controller and a neutral-point voltage controller working together on the 400 Hz NPC inverter structure is given in this paper.

Since many years ago, kitchen appliances are powered up by cable connected. This create a troublesome case as wire might tangle together and cause kitchen table messy. Due to this, wireless power technology (WPT) is introduced as its ability is to transmit power to load without physical contact. This leads to cordless solution better in safety as the product can be completely seal, highly expandable power range. This work focuses on the design of WPT based on inductive approach to power up multiple kitchen appliances. The selection of inductive approach over its partners capacitive and acoustic is mainly due to high power efficiency. Class E inverter is proposed here to convert the DC to AC current to drive the inductive link. A 1 MHz operating frequency is used. To ensure the circuit is robust with load variations, an LCCL impedance matching is proposed. This solution is table to maintain the output power if there is a slight change in load impedance. Finally, the developed prototype is able to supply 50V utput which can achieve power transmission up to 81.76%.
Investigations on Capacitor Compensation Topologies Effects of Different Indu...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents investigations on capacitor compensation topologies with
different inductive coupling links for loosely coupled inductive power
transfer (IPT) system. In general, the main constraint of the loosely coupled
IPT system is power losses due to the large leakage inductances. Therefore,
to overcome the aforementioned problem, in this work, capacitor
compensation is proposed to be used by adding an external capacitor to the
system. By using this approach, the resonant inductive coupling can be
achieved efficiently and hence the efficiency of the system is also increased
significantly. This paper analyzes the performance of two different
compensation topologies, which are primary series-secondary series (SS) and
primary series- secondary parallel (SP) topology. The performance of such
topologies is evaluated through the experimental results at 1MHz operating
frequency for different types of inductive coupling. From the results, SS
topology produces a high power transfer but SP topology gives better
efficiency.

Grid tied photovoltaic (PV) system is an operation mode of PV system working together with utility power supply to provide power to the power load. Conventionally, transformer is used together with the power inverter. The power transformer works as galvanic insolation amongst PV system and power grid. It works also to raise the voltage of power inverter. However, use of transformer will add system complexity, price, weight and size of the entire system. Transformer-less system is an alternative to make the system simpler and more practical in use. The paper discusses performance of transformer-less grid tied PV systems using diode clamped and neutral point shorted inverters. Effects of transformer elimination to the feat of the grid tied PV system especially harmonics content and leakage current of PV system were examined and analyzed. The performance was also compared with the traditional system using H-bridge inverter. The leakage currents did not flow in the system applying diode clamped inverter, and neutral point shorted inverter. In case of harmonics content, the diode clamped inverter injected less harmonics components than the neutral point shorted inverter. The neutral point shorted provides a simpler inverter circuit in the transformerless systems.

The document summarizes research on using a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) with a Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) to mitigate power quality issues for a welding load. It describes modeling a DVR system using MATLAB/Simulink to compensate for voltage sags, swells and total harmonic distortion (THD) injected at the source. Simulation results show the DVR is able to maintain a constant output voltage and current at the load during faults, regulating the voltage. The ZSI provides benefits like boosting the DC link voltage, reducing current and voltage ripples, and operating under short circuits. The control strategy uses sinusoidal pulse width modulation to generate gate pulses for the inverter.
In this paper a hardware implementation of single-phase cascaded H-bridge three level multilevel inverter (MLI) using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) is presented. There are a few interesting features of using this configuration, where less component count, less switching losses, and improved output voltage/current waveform. The output of power inverter consists of three form, that is, square wave, modified square wave and pure sine wave. The pure sine wave and modified square wave are more expensive than square wave. The focus paper is to generate a PWM signal which control the switching of MOSFET power semiconductor. The sine wave can be created by using the concept of Schmitt-Trigger oscillator and low-pass filter topology followed by half of the waveform will be eliminated by using the circuit of precision half-wave rectifier. Waveform was inverted with 180º by circuit of inverting op-amp amplifier in order to compare saw-tooth waveform. Two of PWM signal were produced by circuit of PWM and used digital inverter to invert the two PWM signal before this PWM signal will be passed to 2 MOSFET driver and a 3-level output waveform with 45 Hz was produced. As a conclusion, a 3-level output waveform is produced with output voltage and current recorded at 22.5 Vrms and 4.5 Arms. The value of measured resistance is 0.015 Ω that cause voltage drop around 0.043 V. Based on the result obtained, the power for designed inverter is around 100W and efficiency recorded at 75%.
An inverter system applied with the PV source typically has a problem of lower input voltage due to constraint in the PV strings connection. As a countermeasure a DC-DC boost converter is placed in between to achieve a higher voltage at the inverter DC link for connection to the grid and to realize the MPPT operation. This additional stage contributes to losses and complexity in control thus reducing the overall system efficiency. This work discussed on the design and development of a grid-connected quasi-Z-source PV inverter which has different topology and control method compared to the conventional voltage source inverter and able to overcome the above disadvantages. Modelling and performance analysis of the voltage and current controller to achieve a good power transfer from the PV source, as well sycnchronization with the grid are presented in detail. Results from both simulation and experimental verification demonstrate the designed and developed grid-connected qZSI PV inverter works successfully equivalent to the conventional voltage source inverter system.
This paper presents a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) interface for delivering both active and reactive powers. The PV interface employs H-bridge topology DC-DC converter and inverter with analog control technology. The power flow is controlled solely by the adjustable DC output voltage of the DC to DC converter. In order to evaluate the PV interface system’s performances, it is tested by delivering power to the grid with low pawer factor. The experimental results show that at 300W active load, the inverter could deliver the reactive power of 400VAR. The PV interface could also produce very low harmonic voltage and current distorsions. The laboratory measurements show that the total harmonic distortions of inverter output voltage and current are 0.46% and 0.05%, respectively.
A new control methods for offshore grid connected wind energy conversion syst...IAEME Publication
This document summarizes a new control method for an offshore wind energy conversion system using a doubly fed induction generator and Z-source inverter. Two control methods are proposed - capacitor voltage control and DC-link voltage control. Simulation results show that for capacitor voltage control, the rotor speed tracks the maximum power point, extracted mechanical power tracks maximum turbine power, and capacitor voltage is kept constant. The power delivered to the grid matches the extracted mechanical power. DC-link voltage control maintains a constant DC-link voltage while capacitor voltage and power outputs vary with shoot-through time. Capacitor voltage control regulates power transfer more effectively.

A new bidirectional multilevel inverter topology with a high number of voltage levels with a very reduced number of power components is proposed in this paper. Only TEN power switches and four asymmetric DC voltage sources are used to generate 25 voltage levels in this new topology. The proposed multilevel converter is more suitable for e-mobility and photovoltaic applications where the overall energy source can be composed of a few units/associations of several basic source modules. Several benefits are provided by this new topology: Highly sinusoidal current and voltage waveforms, low Total Harmonic Distortion, very low switching losses, and minimum cost and size of the device. For optimum control of this 25-level voltage inverter, a special Modified Hybrid Modulation technique is performed. The proposed 25-level inverter is compared to various topologies published recently in terms of cost, the number of active power switches, clamped diodes, flying capacitors, DC floating capacitors, and the number of DC voltage sources. This comparison clearly shows that the proposed topology is cost-effective, compact, and very efficient. The effectiveness and the good performance of the proposed multilevel power converter (with and without PWM control) are verified and checked by computational simulations.

The electrical and environmental parameters of polymer solar cells (PSC) provide important information on their performance. In the present article we study the influence of temperature on the voltage-current (I-V) characteristic at different temperatures from 10 °C to 90 °C, and important parameters like bandgap energy Eg, and the energy conversion efficiency η. The one-diode electrical model, normally used for semiconductor cells, has been tested and validated for the polemeral junction. The PSC used in our study are formed by the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Our technique is based on the combination of two steps; the first use the Least Mean Squares (LMS) method while the second use the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The found results are compared to other recently published works, they show that the developed approach is very accurate. This precision is proved by the minimal values of statistical errors (RMSE) and the good agreement between both the experimental data and the I-V simulated curves. The obtained results show a clear and a monotonic dependence of the cell efficiency on the studied parameters.

Abstract - Renewable energy is used in the current fed switched inverter for high power production. High voltage support, wide yield ranges of operation, shoot-through resistance are a portion of the desired properties of an inverter for a reliable, versatile and less ripple AC inversion. This paper proposes a single stage, high boost inverter with buck-boost capacity which has a few particular advantages over traditional voltage source inverters (VSI) like better EMI noise, wide input and output voltage range of operation, and so on. The proposed inverter is named as Current-Fed Switched Inverter (CFSI). A renewable energy based converter structure of CFSI has been created which supplies both AC and DC loads, at the same time, from a single DC supply which makes it reasonable for DC smart grid application. This paper proposes the operation and control of a CFSI based converter which directs the AC and DC conversion voltages at their reference. The advancement of the proposed converter from essential current fed DC/DC topology is explained. The closed loop controller is verified by using the MATLAB/ Simulink environment.
A novel fuzzy logic control for a zero current switching-based buck converte...IJECEIAES
This research provides a new control technique for mitigating conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a buck converter designed for solar applications. Indeed, hard-switching direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converters, commonly used in industrial applications, pose a significant risk to the surrounding environment regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Usually, the fast-switching phase induces abrupt changes in current and voltage, which adds to substantial electromagnetic interference in both conducted and radiated modes and excessive auditory noise. An architecture based on the duality of soft-switching topology and fuzzy logic control technology is developed to address these issues. On the one hand, resonant circuit topologies are used to induce switches to achieve soft switching conditions, which subsequently lessen the effects of EMI. On the other hand, the adoption of fuzzy logic control technology is interesting since it can reduce electrical stresses during switching. Furthermore, the simulation results show that zero current switching (ZCS) soft-switching closed-loop fuzzy logic converters outperform typical open-loop converters and softswitching closed-loop converters with proportional integral (PI) control in terms of EMC requirements.
This paper presents the design and analysis of a relatively new wireless power transfer technique using capacitive coupling, named Capacitive power transfer (CPT). In general, CPT system has been introduced as an attractive alternative to the former inductive coupling method. This is because CPT uses lesser number of components, simpler topology, enhanced EMI performance and better strength to surrounding metallic elements. In this work, aluminium sheet is used as a capacitive coupling at transmitter and receiver side. Moreover, a Class-E resonant inverter together with π1a impedance matching network has been proposed because of its ability to perform the dc-to-ac inversion well. It helps the CPT system to achieve maximum power transfer. The CPT system is designed and simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink software. The validity of the proposed concept is then verified by conducting a laboratory experimental of CPT system. The proposed system able to generate a 9.5W output power through a combined interface capacitance of 2.44nF, at an operating frequency of 1MHz, with 95.10% efficiency. The proposed CPT system with impedance matching network also allows load variation in the range of 20% from its nominal value while maintaining the efficiency over 90%.

Wireless power transmission (WPT) has attracted a wide variety of subjects in various disciplines and has also become a highly active research field due to its capacity to facilitate charging systems. Wireless power transmission will be compulsory to use soon as this technology enables electrical energy to be transmitted from a power source to an electrical load over an air gap without connecting wires. Wireless power transmission has been developed in the low power (1W to 10W) and high power (100W-500W) region. While the low power region development focuses on powering medical transplants and mobile charging, the higher end of the power spectrum is being developed for the electric vehicle (EV) applications. However medium power range (10W to 100W) is relatively unexplored due to lack of proper applications. The commercial WPT scheme is mainly used for the charging of lithium-ion batteries. Sensitive medium power loads like Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries do not have a wireless modular charging system. This paper discusses a proposed scheme for wireless charging of medium-range loads. LiPo batteries are used as the targeted charging load. A minimalistic approach has been considered while designing the electronics for efficiency improvement and a compact, modular scheme. The proposed scheme has been developed for drone and robotics applications and the results are validated.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) system has got significant attention in recent years due to its applications in consumer electronics, medical implants and electric vehicles etc. WPT is a promising choice in situations, where the physical connectors can be unreliable and susceptible to failure. The efficiency of WPT system decreasing rapidly with increasing air-gap. Many circuit topologies have been employed to enhance the efficiency of the WPT system. This paper presents the modelling and performance analysis of resonant wireless power transfer (RWPT) system using series-parallel-mixed topology.

This paper presents parameters analysis of 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter with hard-switching and soft-switching implementation. Principally, by considering the selected circuit structure of the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter and appropriate pulse width modulation (PWM) switching strategy, the overall converter volume able to be reduced. Specifically, phase-shifted of 120° of each switching signal is applied in the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter in order to increase the inductor current ripple frequency, thus the charging and discharging times of the inductor is reduced. Besides, volume of converters is greatly reduced if very high switching frequency is considered. However, it causes increasing of semiconductor losses and consequently the converter efficiency is affected. The results show that the efficiency of 2-level conventional boost converter and 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter are 98.59% and 97.67%, respectively in hard-switching technique, and 99.31% and 98.15%, respectively in soft-switching technique. Therefore, by applying soft-switching technique, switching loss of the semiconductor devices is greatly minimized although high switching frequency is applied. In this study, passive lossless snubber circuit is selected for the soft-switching implementation in the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter. Based on the simulation results, the switching loss is approximately eliminated by applying soft-switching technique compared to the hard-switching technique implementation.

Inter-Area Oscillation Damping using an STATCOM Based Hybrid Shunt Compensati...IJPEDS-IAES
FACTS devices are one of the latest technologies which have been used to
improve power system dynamic and stability during recent years. However,
widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost
and reliability concerns. In this paper an economical phase imbalanced shunt
reactive compensation concept has been introduced and its ability for power
system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are
investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive
compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt
capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power
system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding
a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control
loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies
are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller
and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are
added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to
damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly,
be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase
STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus
six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to
demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system
dynamic enhancement.

This article presents a novel application of four leg inverter with
conventional Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Scheme to
Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). The Power Quality problem
became burning issues since the starting of high voltage AC transmission
system. Hence, in this article it has been discussed to mitigate the PQ issues
in high voltage AC systems through a three phase Unified Power Quality
Conditioner (UPQC) under various conditions, such as harmonic mitigation
scheme, non linear loads, sag and swell conditions as well. Also, it proposes
to control harmoincs with various artificial intelligent techniques. Thus
application of these control technique such as Neural Networks (ANN)
Fuzzy Logic makes the system performance in par with the standards
and also compared with existing system. The simulation results based on
MATLAB/Simulink are discussed in detail to support the concept developed
in the paper.
Modified SVPWM Algorithm for 3-Level Inverter Fed DTC Induction Motor DriveIJPEDS-IAES
In this paper, a modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM)
algorithm is developed for 3-level inverter fed direct torque controlled
induction motor drive (DTC-IMD). MSVPWM algorithm simplifies
conventional space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm for
multilevel inverter (MLI), whose complexity lies in sector/subsector/subsubsector
identification; which will commensurate with number of levels. In
the proposed algorithm sectors are identified as in two level inverter
and subsectors/sub-subsectors are identified by shifting the original reference
vector to sector 1 (S1). This is valid due to the fact that a three level space
vector plane is a composition of six two level space planes, and are
symmetrical with reference to six pivot states. Switching state/sequence
selection is also very important while dealing with SVPWM strategy for
MLI. In the proposed algorithm out of 27 available switching states apt
switching state is selected based on sector and subsector number, such that
voltage ripple is considerably less. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is
tested on a three level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter fed DTC-IMD.
The performance of the MSVPWM algorithm is analyzed by comparing no
load stator current ripple of the three level DTC-IMD with two level
DTC-IMD. Significant reduction in steady state torque and flux ripple is
observed. Hence, reduced acoustic noise is a distinctive facet of the proposed
method.

implemented in one block and can be made available for control purposes.
The simulated results provide to show the behavior of the star-connected 3-phase IM under open-phase fault condition.
Performance Characteristics of Induction Motor with FielIJPEDS-IAES
With development of power electronics and control Theories, the AC motor
control becomes easier. So the AC motors are used instead of the DC motor
in the drive applications. With this development, a several methods of control
are invented. The field oriented control and direct torque control are from the
best methods to control the drive systems. This paper is compared between
the field oriented control and direct torque control to show the advantages
and disadvantages of these methods of controls. This study discussed the
effects of these methods of control on the total harmonic distortion of the
current and torque ripples. This occurs through study the performance
characteristics of the AC motor. The motor used in this study is an induction
motor. This study is simulated through the MATLAB program.
A Novel Modified Turn-on Angle Control Scheme for Torque- Ripple Reduction in...IJPEDS-IAES
In recent years, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have been dramatically
considered with both researchers and industries. SRMs not only have a
simple and reliable structure, but also have low cost production process.
However, discrete torque production of SRM along with intensive magnetic
saturation in stator and rotor cores are the major drawbacks of utilizing in
variety of industrial applications and also causes the inappropriate torque
ripples. In this paper, a modified logical-rule-based Torque Sharing Function
(TSF) method is proposed considering turn-on angle control. The optimized
turn-on angle for conducting each phase is achieved by estimating the
inductance curve in the vicinity of unaligned position and based on an
analytical solution for each phase voltage equation. Simulation results on a
four-phase switched reluctance motor and comparison with the conventional
methods validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element AnalysisIJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction
motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which
contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine.
Each of these components is simulated in different software environments.
So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM
which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform
environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is
developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLABSimulink
environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design
and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is
exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of
different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first
is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is
the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the
performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions,
a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze
the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been
performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed
verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.
Comparative Performance Study for Closed Loop Operation of an Adjustable Spee...IJPEDS-IAES
In this paper an extensive comparative study is carried out between PI
and PID controlled closed loop model of an adjustable speed Permanent
Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive. The incorporation of Sinusoidal
Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy establishes near sinusoidal
armature phase currents and comparatively less torque ripples without
sacrificing torque/weight ratio. In this closed loop model of PMSM drive, the
information about reference speed is provided to a speed controller, to ensure
that actual drive speed tracks the reference speed with ideally zero steady
state speed error. The entire model of PMSM closed loop drive is divided
into two loops, inner loop current and outer loop speed. By taking the
different combinations of two classical controllers (PI & PID) related with
two loop control structure, different approximations are carried out. Hence a
typical comparative study is introduced to familiar with the different
performance indices of the system corresponding to time domain and
frequency domain specifications. Therefore overall performance of closed
loop PMSM drive is tested and effectiveness of controllers will be
determined for different combinations.

components for speed control of a single phase induction motor drive. The
MOSFETs inverter switching is controlled using Sampled Sinusoidal Pulse

Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The load power is also controlled by a novel
design to produce a suitable SPWM pulse. The proposed electronic system
has ability to control the output frequency with flexible setting of lower limit
to less than 1 Hz and to higher frequency limits to 55 Hz. Moreover, the
proposed controller able to control the value of load voltage to frequency
ratio, which plays a major parameter in the function of IM speed control.
Furthermore, the designed system is characterized by easy manufacturing
and maintenance, high speed response, low cost, and does not need to
program steps as compared to other systems based on Microcontroller
and digital signal processor (DSP) units. The complete proposed electronic
design is made by the software of NI Multisim version 11.0 and all the
internal sub-designs are shown in this paper. Simulation results show the

Sensorless Control of a Fault Tolerant PMSM Drives in Case of Single-Phase Op...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper introduces a sensorless-speed-controlled PMSM motor fed by a
four-leg inverter in case of a single phase open circuit fault regardless in
which phase is the fault. To minimize the system performance degradation
due to a single phase open circuit fault, a fault tolerant control strategy that
includes taking appropriate actions to control the two remaining healthy
currents is used in addition to use the fourth leg of the inverter. Tracking the
saliency is done through measuring the dynamic current responses of the
healthy phases of the PMSM motor due the IGBT switching actions using the
fundamental PWM method without introducing any modification to the
operation of the fourth leg of the inverter. Simulation results are provided to
verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for sensorless controlling of
a PMSM motor driven by a fault-tolerant four-phase inverter over a wide
speed ranges under the case of a single phase open circuit.
Improved Stator Flux Estimation for Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor ...IJPEDS-IAES
Stator flux estimation using voltage model is basically the integration of the
induced stator back electromotive force (emf) signal. In practical
implementation the pure integration is replaced by a low pass filter to avoid
the DC drift and saturation problems at the integrator output because of the
initial condition error and the inevitable DC components in the back emf
signal. However, the low pass filter introduces errors in the estimated stator
flux which are significant at frequencies near or lower than the cutoff
frequency. Also the DC components in the back emf signal are amplified at
the low pass filter output by a factor equals to . Therefore, different
integration algorithms have been proposed to improve the stator flux
estimation at steady state and transient conditions. In this paper a new
algorithm for stator flux estimation is proposed for direct torque control
(DTC) of induction motor drives. The proposed algorithm is composed of a
second order high pass filter and an integrator which can effectively
eliminates the effect of the error initial condition and the DC components.
The amplitude and phase errors compensation algorithm is selected such that
the steady state frequency response amplitude and phase angle are equivalent
to that of the pure integrator and the multiplication and division by stator
frequency are avoided. Also the cutoff frequency selection is improved; even
small value can filter out the DC components in the back emf signal. The
simulation results show the improved performance of the induction motor
direct torque control drive with the proposed stator flux estimation algorithm.
The simulation results are verified by the experimental results.
Minimization of Starting Energy Loss of Three Phase Induction Motors Based on...IJPEDS-IAES
The purpose of this paper is to minimize energy losses consumed by three
phase induction motors during starting with wide range of load torque from
no load to full load. This will limit the temperature rise and allows for more
numbers of starting during a definite time. Starting energy losses
minimization is achieved by controlling the rate of increasing voltage
and frequency to start induction motor under certain load torque within a
definite starting time. Optimal voltage and frequency are obtained by particle
swarm optimization (PSO) tool according to load torque. Then, outputs of the
PSO are used to design a neuro-fuzzy controller to control the output voltage
and frequency of the inverter during starting for each load torque. The
starting characteristics using proposed method are compared to that of direct
on line and V/F methods. A complete model of the system is developed using
SIMULINK/MATLAB.

leakage inductance which is present in a transformer enabled converter.
The output ripples in the converter is reduced by providing a π filter.
The interleaved voltage quadrupler is used in this system in order to boost the
output voltage. The voltage multiplier improves the output voltage gain.
The main advantage of this system is more voltage gain when compared with

IRAMY Inverter Control for Solar Electric VehicleIJPEDS-IAES
Solar Electric Vehicles (SEV) are considered the future vehicles to solve the issues of air pollution, global warming, and the rapid decreases of the petroleum resources facing the current transportation technology. However, SEV are still facing important technical obstacles to overcome. They include batteries energy storage capacity, charging times, efficiency of the solar panels and electrical propulsion systems. Solving any of those problems and electric vehicles will compete-complement the internal combustion engines vehicles. In the present work, we propose an electrical propulsion system based on three phase induction motor in order to obtain the desired speed and torque with less power loss. Because of the need to lightweight nature, small volume, low cost, less maintenance and high efficiency system, a three phase squirrel cage induction motor (IM) is selected in the electrical propulsion system. The IM is fed from three phase inverter operated by a constant V/F control method and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) algorithm. The proposed control strategy has been implemented on the texas instruments TM320F2812 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to generate SVPWM signal needed to trigger the gates of IGBT based inverter. The inverter used in this work is a three phase inverter IRAMY20UP60B type. The experimental results show the ability of the proposed control strategy to generate a three-phase sine wave signal with desired frequency. The proposed control strategy is experimented on a locally manufactured EV prototype. The results show that the EV prototype can be propelled to speed up to 60km/h under different road conditions.

Implementation of a MIMO System forWireless Power Transfer Using Acoustic Approach (Thoriq Zaid)
939
A typical acoustic energy transfer system consists of primary and secondary unit where both sides
comprise of ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer and separated by a transmission medium, as shown in Figure
1. The main important elements that we can classify in this system are; power converter, rectifier,
transmission medium and transducer. Power converter and rectifier will take part in transmitting and
receiving energy using desired ultrasonic transducer. Meanwhile, the transmission medium determines how
the wave propagates.. The development of AET in biomedical through tissue and water achieved quite a good
result as in [3]–[7]. There are also several research and development of AET through metal medium as in
[8]–[11], but very few works discussed AET through air [12], [13].
Figure 1. A general AET system that consists of 3 parts; primary unit, transmission medium and secondary
unit
AET system is based on sound waves or vibration and is basically applied using an ultrasonic
transducer. At the primary unit, power converter is used to drive the amount of power needed by the primary
transducer. The primary transducer will transform electrical energy into pressure or acoustic wave. It
generates waves in the form of mechanical energy and propagates through a medium. The primary transducer
should be driven at a specific frequency and is normally represented in a sinusoidal waveform to obtain the
best performance that is matched with the propagation medium[14]. In this paper, a Class E power converter
is used as a power converter due to its simplicity and theoretically it can produce zero switching losses,
besides its simplicity and only has a single switch component that need to be controlledas published in [15]–
[17] for high frequency inductive CET.
The secondary transducer is placed at a point along the path of the sound wave for the inverse
process of converting back into electrical energy. In other words, this acoustic wave is picked up by the
secondary transducer at a specific frequency and converts the mechanical energy back to the electrical
energy. It then can be used for powering up an electrical load. The sine wave is also produced at the
secondary transducer.
2. ACOUSTIC ENERGY TRANSFER USING MIMO SYSTEM
Single input-output transducer has been developed in [18] shows a lack of output power received by
the transducer, see Figure 1. Thus, this paper proposes a new arrangement of transducer position so that the
received power can be multiplied using multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) transducer, see Figure 2. In
other words, there are multiple transducers used on both side transmitter and receiver. The MIMO system is
applied to increase the ability of the system to receive more power from one power source.

All of the transmitting transducers connect to the power converter in parallel connection. This will
make the transmitting transducer transmit equal power from the converter. The receiving transducer
connected to the rectifier in series connection, thus the input of the transducer will get maximum value of
power to the load.The schematic of the connection can be simplified as shown in Figure 3(a) and 3(b).

3. DESIGN of POWER CONVERTER
Power converter plays an important role to drive power to the circuit. In this paper, the Class E
power converter is chosen to apply in the AET MIMO system. The Class E converter is chosen because it
operation is based on the Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) condition where the switching losses is minimized.
Thus, the efficiency of the system can be increased.
3.1. Class E Converter Operation
Basically, the class e converter consists of PWM generator which is in this work we use a
microcontroller, MOSFET driver and Class E amplifier circuit. Figure 4 shows the schematic circuit of the
class E converter.
Figure 4. Class E converter schematic circuit
The microcontroller uses to generate the PWM pulse with specified frequency. The generated pulse
connect to the MOSFET driver as a switching device to rapidly and completely switch the gate of the
MOSFET of the Class E amplifier. The MOSFET operates as an on/off switch of the amplifier. The Lchoke
used to neglect its current ripple or acts as current source when the switch is off. This is to limit the input
current to be a constant current. The shunt capacitor, Cshunt across the switch is to shape drain voltage and
current waveform during on to off transition and a net series load inductance offer the required phase shift
for the fundamental wave and behave as a harmonic open circuit [15]. Series capacitor, Cseries and series
inductor Lseries act as a filter to reduce the harmonic effects at sine wave. It operates based on the zero-voltage

switching (ZVS) and zero-derivative switching (ZDS) conditions at the on-state switch [19]. Since Class E
converter circuit fulfills the ZVS/ZDS condition, thus, the power loss in Class E converter circuit can be
minimized to zero during the switching operation [15], thus increses the efficiency of the energy transfer.
Based on the analysis in [20] and applied accordingly in [21] [22], the load resistance can be
determined as RL= 0.5514 (VDD
2
/PO). The shunt capacitor, Cshuntacross the switch can be calculated as Cshunt=
0.1971/ωRL. Moreover, the series capacitor, Cseriescan be determined as Cseries= 0.1062/ωRL.The value of
series inductor, Lseries is the summation of resonant inductor, Lres and series loading inductor, Lext,
whereLseries=Lext+Lres. Thus, the resonant inductor, Lresand excess series inductance, Lextcan becalculated as
Lres= 10.62(RL/ω) and Lext=1.153(RL/ω).
3.2. Class E Converter Design
The specifications and parameter of the Class E converter circuit are shown in Table I. In this paper,
the Class E converter circuit is designed based on the requirement of the transmitter which must satisfy the
following specifications: input voltage, Vin=9V, maximum output power is assumed, Po=100mW, duty cycle,
D=50%, operating frequency, 40kHz ±0.5 and quality factor, Q of a series resonant circuit is 10.The
specification needed is applied to the formula and obtained the value as in Table I. In addition, the circuit
design for Class E converter circuit as shown in Figure 5 based on the ideal case where the internal resistance
in the MOSFET and all passive elements were ignored.

while the MOSFET driver is TC4422 type. The class E converter circuit simulations are obtained first to
determine the ZVS condition of the converter. Both simulation end experimental results will be presented in
this section.
4.1. Class E Simulation Results
Figure 6(a). shows the half sinusoidal waveform of the drain-to-source voltage, VDS, the gate-to-
source voltage, VGSand current drain, ID. Due to the charges stored in the shunt capacitor, the VDS value
increases to almost 3.0 times greater. Meanwhile, the square waveform of gate-to-source voltage, VGS, is
specified as 5V. This is because, in the OFF state transition, the current will flow through Cshunt and produces
the voltage across the capacitor and VDS. Thus, the Cshunt shapes the drain-to-source voltage.

Figure 6(a). The output waveform of VGS VDS and ID (b) The output waveform of VO and IO
The results show that the ZVS condition is obtained successfully. Meanwhile, Figure 6(b) shows the
output waveform of the Class E converter simulated for output voltage, VO and output current IO. The
maximum output voltage obtained is 6.5V and the maximum output current is 15 mA. Thus, the output power
obtained is 97.5 mW. This simulation results confirmed that the proposed requirements are satisfied and
therefore can be proceed withthe experimental work.
4.1 Experimental Result
The DC input voltage that is supplied to the PIC microcontroller is 5.0V while the Class E amplifier
is powered by 9.0V then connected to thetransmitting transducer. The secondary transducer is placed in
opposite and perpendicular to the transmitting transducer with air gap of 20.0mm as a medium. Both
transducers that have been used in this experiment is Multicomp ceramic disk transducer where the center
frequency of this component is 40 kHz. A simple bridge rectifier is used at the secondary unit. Figure 7
shows the arrangement of a MIMO system where multiple transducer is used on both sides.
These arrangements of transducer are made to differentiate the output and analyze how the
performance of the receiving power of this system by using different numbers of load. The air gap is constant
at 20.0mm for both experiments. All the input and output of the transmitter and receiver are captured using
an Agilent digital oscilloscope and also measured using a Tektronixdigital multimeter. The experimental
setup of the overall system is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 9(a) depicts the result of the ZVS condition of the Class E circuit and it is obvious that the
ZVS is achieved well. This will ensure the minimization of the switching loss. As in the simulation, when the
switch is off, the current flow through shunt capacitor, Cshunt, and produces the voltage across it. Thus, it
shapes the drain-to-source voltage, VDS which is 37.4Vpp. The peak drain current and drain peak voltage is
displaced in time during the ZVS condition, thus it will cause the zero power of switching losses. The
frequency obtained is 39.68kHz and still in the range of the transducer’s operating frequency.

Figure 10. Output power obtained by different numbers of transceiver using different value of the load
resistor
Based on the results shown in Figure 10, the output power received using a single transceiver is
4.2mW which is 7.02% efficiency. When double transceiver is used, the output power obtained is 11mW
which contributes to 18.32% efficiency. The highest output power obtained is when triple transceiver is used
where the efficiency reach to 30.96%. These values are the maximum output power obtains in each part when
the load resistor is 3.3kΩ. The achievement is perform better and obtained higher result compared to the
development in [18] which using similar types of transducer. From these results, it is confirmed that the
efficiency of the system is increased when the MIMO arrangement of the transceiver is applied to the system.
Of course, it can befurther increased if more transceiver is used. This is because when multiple transmitters
are used, it will transmit the same power to every transducer. However, in receiver they received the same
power at every receiving transducer. This arrangement made the receiver multiply the received power from a
single source of power supply.
5. CONCLUSION
This paper has presented an analysis of the Class E converter that being applied to an AET system
through the air medium using a MIMO arrangement of transducers. This type of transducer’s arrangement is
proving can increase the efficiency of the power transfer. As a result, the triple transducer reached 30.96%
efficiency rather than a double and single transceiver used where the efficiency is below than that. Therefore,
to increase the efficiency, the AET system needs a focus beam with a constant alignment that operates with
optimum frequency to optimize its capability to energy transfer.Other than that, the rated power of the
designed power converter is possible to be increased, thus more power can be transferred and receives.
