This paper presents an improved model predictive control strategy with fixed switching frequency. The proposed method adds four virtual voltage vectors to the four real voltage vectors of the conventional finite control set model predictive control to reduce the harmonic content of the grid current and uses a modulator to realize fixed switching frequency. Furthermore, a novel cost function, which...
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the future solution for electric vehicles due to its merits compared to conductive charging. The main obstacles to WPT are efficiency and power transfer capability. Compensation topologies play a key role in improving efficiency and power transfer capability of WPT. This paper carries the evaluation of electrical parameters for wireless charging of an e-Rickshaw through...
A novel single-phase five-level active rectifier based on the VIENNA-type rectifier with model predictive current control is presented. The proposed topology operates in unidirectional mode, imposing a sinusoidal grid-side current with unitary power factor. A unidirectional electric vehicle battery charger is the target application in which the proposed rectifier is used; however, it can also be used...
With the increasing use of medium voltage drive systems in power plant, it is interesting to develop a novel internal electrification scheme based on common DC bus concept. Despite obvious improvement on efficiency increasing, one of the most concerned issues is whether reliability performance would decrease to an unacceptable level led to by introduction of common DC bus layout. To mitigate the concern,...
This paper is dedicated to apply Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) method on fault detections of a multi-phase generator — diode rectifier set.

The applicability of HHT on fault diagnosis of a multi-phase machine system is illustrated by analyzing the simulation results.
This paper proposes the improved topology and control strategy of three-phase cascaded bridgeless rectifier (CBR) suitable to serve as the rectifier stage for a medium/high voltage multilevel converter. Compared with traditional H-bridge based multilevel rectifiers, the proposed topology adopts much fewer fully-controlled devices, which greatly reduces the control complexity, thus increasing the system...

The first stage is connected to the grid and it is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM); working this way, a high power factor is naturally...
New sensorless virtual-flux (VF) based predictive direct power control (PDPC) (VF-PDPC) of a three-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier is developed in this paper. The VF estimation is achieved through a simple neural filter based integrator (NF-I) in series with a multi-output adaptive linear neuron (MO-ADALINE). The NF-I leads to cancel dc offset and harmonic distortions in the estimated...

In recent years, thermoelectric generator (TEG) is expected as a power supply source for wireless sensor nodes. An open circuit voltage of TEG is proportional to a temperature difference between each side of TEG. TEG has a maximum power point (MPP) because of the large internal resistance. Therefore, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is needed to track the MPP against temperature variation...

For the discussion about the neutral point potential (NPP) control of single phase three-level rectifiers, most of the methods solve the NPP problem by adjusting the zero-sequence voltage under symmetrical load conditions. However, when one phase voltage reaches to the maximum voltage, the other phase voltage goes to the minimal voltage. As a result, the NPP control ability is limited since there...
