DC capacitor voltage imbalance is an inevitable technical concern for the multilevel diode-clamped converters with number of levels higher than two. This paper addresses the balancing of the capacitor voltages based on the capacitor current equalization considering a minimum loss space vector pulse width modulation (MLSVPWM) algorithm for five-level diode-clamped converters. In diode-clamped converter...
This paper proposes a digital online efficiency optimization technique for DC/DC Dual Half-Bridge Series Resonant Converters. The proposed technique implements an advanced modulation scheme which exploits the degrees of freedom inherently available in the converter modulation space in order to simultaneously regulate the output voltage and maintain the system in its maximum efficiency point. Furthermore,...
In this paper, motor drive system fed by single phase diode rectifier without Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit is proposed. The motor drive considered in this paper consists of single phase diode rectifier, three-phase inverter, and small DC-link capacitor. Since DC-link capacitor is small, grid input current of the diode rectifier can be directly affected by electrical output power of the inverter...
The inverter often connects to load or grid through inductor-capacitor (LC) filter for feeding the filtered voltage and current. The carrier based modulation techniques, such as sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and space vector modulation (SVM), require some kind of current control in LC filter connected inverter to damp out the LC resonance. The major advantage of flux vector modulation for...
To improve the efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) system, the centralized topology using three-level inverters are widely used. In this system, PV modules are separately connected to the split DC-links. This causes a decrease of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency under the partial shading condition. This paper proposes an independent control of two DC-link voltages for separate MPPT of...
In this paper, we discuss the principles of operating the electric spring (ES) as a reactive power compensator and as a power factor corrector. The theory on electric springs with capacitors for voltage stabilization is reviewed to present a general idea on the behavior of ES. Further discussion focuses on the principle of ES with batteries to cover its eight possible operating modes and their usefulness...
In this paper a generalized multi-phase space vector theory is considered for developing the space vector modulation of a three-phase to seven-phase direct matrix converter (DMC). The modulation is based on the control of the voltage vectors in the first d-q plane, while imposing the remaining voltage vectors in the second and the third planes (x1–y1, x2–y2) zero. The duty cycles of the bidirectional...
