Analyzing The Consumers Generating Inter Harmonic Frequencies
Alexander B. Nassif and Jing Yong [7] have proposed a method to identify the consumers generating inter
harmonic frequencies. The inter–harmonics can be measured by means of Impedance based approach
applied at the metering point. The main idea is that, the inter–harmonic impedance of the system is much
smaller than that of an inter–harmonic generating load. This method can identify the source of each inter–
harmonic component without having to rely solely on the active power measurement and requires only an
approximate value for the inter–harmonic impedance measured at the metering point. As per references [2],
[6], [7], [9] any device with nonlinear characteristics which derive their input power from a sinusoidal
electrical system may be responsible for injecting harmonic currents & voltages into the electrical system
[2, 6, 7, 9 ]. Francisco C. De la rossa [2] have described ,all possible nonlinear loads . Among them few are
Power converters such as Variable frequency drives, DC motor controllers, Cycloconverter, Cranes,
Elevators ,Steel mills, Power supplies, UPS,Battery chargers, Inverters & ARC devices such as Fluorescent
lighting, ARC furnaces, Welding machines. According to authors [2] ,[7] Even linear loads like power
transformers can act nonlinear under saturation conditions. This occurs beyond the so–called saturation

Harmonics Mitigation
Line harmonics can have costly and disruptive effects on electrical distribution system.
At present there are several reduction or mitigation methods in use to reduce the distortion of the voltage
and current from non–linear distribution loads such as variable frequency drives (VFDs). Description of
each method with relative advantages and disadvantages are as follows.
No method used
The adjustable frequency drive requirements for IEEE 519 1992 guidelines may not be met without a line
reactor or additional impedance because many AFDs require a minimum of 1% to 3% input impedance.
IEEE 519 1992 guidelines may not be met even if the total connected AFD or VFD loads are less than
10%. It is assumed that the AFD has a six–diode input bridge and no line reactor, filter or DC choke
applied. Advantages:
No additional cost
The VFDs are easy to package
The AFDs are easy to sell and apply.
Disadvantages:
There may be a possibility of high levels of harmonic voltage and current distortion.
Line transients can cause damage to the VFDs.
AFD impedance requirement may not be met.
DC Choke
On the front end of the adjustable frequency drive, a series inductance on the DC side of the semiconductor
bridge circuit is called a DC choke. An equivalent AC–side line reactor is comparable to the DC choke,

Professor Guru Nanak Institutions Technical Campus, Ibrahimpatnam, Hyderabad, India Abstract–for very
high voltage gain of a Photo–Voltaic system, this paper proposed a buck–boost inverter of single stage.
DCM (Discontinuous conduction mode) and MPPT (maximum power point tracking) is employed to get
one power factor. Minimization of switching losses is employed with only two switches and operated at
very high frequency. Easy control capability, optimum size, affordable cost with high voltage gain made
the system employable. AC voltage conversion is achieved along with boosting of DC voltage of Photo–
Voltaic system of inverter. Obstacle shadow variations also reduced by means of having the possibility of
reduced series connected modules; this ability is due to the high voltage gain. Since the proposed design
has the two buck boost converter each one operates for only one half cycle and the Discontinuous
conduction mode operates at unit power factor. Simulation results assure the proposed idea of the single
stage interleaved inverter for high voltage gain applications. Index Terms– Single Stage, Buck–Boost

Disadvantages Of Synchronous Transverter
Another advantage of the synchronous converter is that it is bi–directional, which lends itself to
applications requiring regenerative braking. When power is transferred in the "reverse" direction, it acts
much like a boost converter.
The upsides of the synchronous buck converter don't come without cost. To start with, the lower switch
normally costs more than the freewheeling diode. Second, the multifaceted nature of the converter is
unfathomably expanded because of the requirement for a reciprocal yield switch driver.
Such a driver must keep both changes from being turned on in the meantime, a blame known as
"shootthrough". The most straightforward procedure for dodging shootthrough is a period delay between

CPU power supply for an AMD Socket 939 processor. The three periods of this supply can be perceived by
the three dark toroidal inductors in the closer view. The littler inductor underneath the warmth sink is a
piece of an info channel.
The multiphase buck converter is a circuit topology where fundamental buck converter circuits are put in
parallel between the information and load. Each of the n "phases" is turned on at equally spaced intervals
over the switching period. This circuit is typically used with the synchronous buck topology, described
above.
This kind of converter can react to load changes as fast as though it exchanged n times speedier, without
the expansion in exchanging misfortunes that would bring about. Subsequently, it can react to quickly
evolving burdens, for example, present day chip.
There is additionally a noteworthy diminishing in exchanging swell. Not exclusively is there the reduction
due to the expanded viable frequency,[4] but any time that n times the duty cycle is an integer, the
changing swell goes to 0; the rate at which the inductor current is expanding in the stages which are

Power electronics circuits convert electric power from one form to other using electronic devices. By using
semiconductor devices as switches power electronics circuits function, thereby controlling or modifying a
voltage or current. Power electronics application range from high–power conversion equipment such as dc
power transmission to everyday appliances, such as cell phone chargers, cordless screwdrivers, power
supplies for computers, and hybrid automobiles. Power electronics includes applications in which circuits
process miliwatts or megawatts. Power electronics include conversion of an unregulated dc voltage to a
regulated dc voltage conversion of ac to dc, conversion of dc to ac, and conversion of an ac power source
from one amplitude and frequency to another amplitude and frequency. These power converters are
classified as rectifiers, AC voltage controllers, DC choppers and inverters, which covers wide area of

Frequency Response Characteristics of a System
In a research article [9], the frequency response characteristics of the system can be altered when the
harmonic distortion levels are not within the acceptable limits through changing sizes or locations of the
capacitor, by changing source characteristics, or by design a harmonic filter. Filters are the most common
solution as it can provide reactive power support at the fundamental frequency and a low impedance path
for one or more harmonic current components to flow. The filter elements must be specifically designed to
withstand the harmonic components along with the fundamental frequency voltages and currents. Common
method for filter design is by utilizing one single–tuned shunt filter first, designed for the lowest generated
harmonic (typically 5th) and it is advisable to use capacitors with a higher voltage rating than the system.
Determine the voltage distortion level at the bus. The commonly applied limit of 5% (total harmonic
distortion – THD) was presented in IEEE Standard 519–1981. If required, determine if the harmonic
current levels meet IEEE Standard 519–1992. If not, there may be a need for multiple filters (i.e., 5th and
7th). Vary the filter elements according to the specified tolerances and check its effectiveness. Lastly, by
checking the frequency response characteristic to verify that the newly created parallel resonance is not

Power Systems Of Electric Vehicles
I. INTRODUCTION Since the industrial revolution started, the acceleration of technology development
never stopped. However, with the development of new technologies, environment is suffering the
consequences. The rate of Carbon dioxide is increasing rapidly. To mitigate this pollution, the concept of
electric vehicle arose. The electric vehicles contribute in reducing the carbon dioxide emissions[1]. Thus,
the use of electric vehicles is getting more popular as time goes by. As a result of that, electric vehicles
must be integrated to the electric grid. They will be treated as electric loads, which means that all concepts
of power system will be applied on them. Therefore, when electric vehicles are charged, they will cause
voltage drop on the distribution feeders. Hence, the presence of voltage regulators might change the
voltage response of the system. II. VOLTAGE REGULATION OVERVIEW. In power Systems

profile delivered to the customers. The voltage level at the customer node has to be maintained within a

ABSTRACT This paper deals with a Cuk Topology for Power Factor Correction (PFC). Most of the front–
end PFC converters are designed using diode bridge and has lower efficiency due to losses with reduced
power factor.The current flow, during each intervals of the switching cycle reduces the conduction losses
compared to the conventional Cuk PFC Rectifier. The converter also provides protection against inrush
current occurring at start–up, decreases input current ripple and reduces Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI).It works in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) to provide almost unity power factor and
low distortions in the input current. To analyse the performance of this converter, a model based on the
CUK topology has been designed by using MATLAB/ SIMULINK software and implemented with
Proportional–Integral (PI) and Fuzzy logic controller.

complex conjugates of these frequencies. F2c is called the Nyquist frequency and it is the maximum
frequency that can exist in the frequency window[38]. 2. It takes approximately 8–10 samples to accurately
represent one period of a sinusoidal signal [14]. Therefore, the time–step needed to discretize the
continuous–time sinusoidal signal using N=10 samples and FNy = F2c is Eq.(1.12): ∆t = 1 10 × Fc or ∆t =

Power Capacitors Essay
ABSTRACT
In the industrial sector the various motoring loads are continuously running and generating the inductive
load. So the power factor in this system gets reduced due to the inductive reactive power. But the electricity
board has a standard limits regarding the power factor values and if the power factor goes below the
specified limit; the electricity company charges the penalty to the industrial consumers. The automatic
power factor correction panel provides the required compensation to overcome the inductive reactance by
using the power capacitors. The microcontroller PIC receives current signal from current transformer and
simultaneously gives the signals to the various contactors to connect the capacitors in the line for the
compensation. Thus by adding the capacitor to the line will compensate the reactive power and maintains
the power factor near to unity. This will avoids the penalty to the industrial consumers and may get the
incentives. In the conventional methods we were using the fixed capacitor for compensation. But these
were leading to excessive charging of the capacitors causes the voltage surges. Thus it becomes difficult to
main power factor near unity by on and off operation of fixed capacitor. The contactor switched capacitors
are connected and disconnected automatically eliminating the previous problem.

values of line load voltages; I_a,I_b and I_c are the rms values of the line load currents. Figure 3.1 a shows
the schematic of a pole in a multilevel inverter where V_a indicates an output phase voltage that can
predicted at any voltage level depending on the selection of node (dc) voltage V_1,V_2 etc. By connecting
switch to one node at a time, one can easily obtain the desired output. Figure 3.2 shows the typical output
voltage of a five–level inverter. The structure of multilevel inverter must (1) have less switching devices as
far as possible, (2) have capability of withstanding at very high input voltage for high–power applications,

Understanding The Piezoelectric Behavior Of Ferro-Electrics
Ferro–electrics are an important class of materials which posses excellent electro–mechanical coupling
behavior cite{jayendiran2012modeling}. These materials have been used in sensors, actuators, biomedical
and naval applications for several years. These materials behave linearly under low electric fields and
mechanical stresses, but show nonlinearity at higher electric fields and mechanical stresses; see the review
articles cite{kamlah2001ferroelectric,landis2004non,huber2005micromechanical}. Several experiments
have been conducted and reported in the literature to understand the nonlinear behavior of piezoelectric

$1–3$ piezo–composites with piezoelectric rods (one dimension) embedded in a passive polymer matrix
(three dimension) are attractive due to their tunable acoustic impedance and excellent tailor–made
electromechanical properties cite{topolov2008electromechanical}. Since the matrix materials are
viscoelastic in nature, the influence of matrix in the overall electro–mechanical response of piezo–
composites have been reported cite{aboudi2005hysteresis, muliana2010micromechanical,
shindo2010nonlinear}. Studies related to the influence of polymer matrix on the electro–mechanical
response of piezo–composites have been performed cite{jayendiran2012modeling, aboudi2005hysteresis,
odegard2004constitutive}. A two–level thermodynamic based micromechanics theory for domain
switching in $1–3$ piezo–composites have been proposed to predict the orientation dependency of the
electro–mechanical coupling behavior of the composite system cite{zhao2009investigation}. Literature
review reveals that $1–3$ type composites are good alternatives for bulk PZT ceramics. Hence, it is
necessary to understand the electro–mechanical behavior of different fiber volume fractions
cite{jayendiran2012modeling}. Incorporation of a more–ductile epoxy matrix causes considerable creep

The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Switch Mode Power Supply
Packaging is a process to eliminate the direct contact between product and environment. In every small and
big industry, it is necessary to seal and package the product for protecting from environment and for better
life of the product. In 19th century, industries were using candles for sealing. In last few years, many
sealing machines were developed. These machines are highly automated, which have very high cost. So,
these machines are not affordable by small scale industries. In small industries, they are using impulse heat
sealer machine. But, there are losses of plastic packaging material due to manually press. To overcome
these problems, we will design a machine, which is semi–automatic and less laborious and which will have

Compression of air creates heat; hence, after compression, air is warmer. Expansion removes heat; hence it
is required to give heat after compression, because after expansion, the air will be much colder. If the heat
generated after compression can be stored in the storage tank and used during expansion, the efficiency of
the storage tank can be improved Solenoid Operated Direction Control Valve
Direction Control Valve (DCV) allows the air flow to flow in different paths from different resources. It

Design Of Zero Switching Losses For Three Phase Circuit...
Design of Zero Switching Losses for Three–Phase Circuit Using Power Diode Shrinivas Reddy Dept. of
EEE,PDACEG, GULBARGA
Abstract
In this paper a zero voltage switched active network (Fig. 1) used in combination with three–phase ac to dc
diode rectifiers is presented. It is shown that by using proposed switching network in three–phase ac to dc
boost converter, zero switching losses are obtained while maintaining a unity input power factor. Active
network capacitor, Cs, diodes D7, and D8, maintain a zero voltage during turn–off of Q1, and Q2,
Capacitor, Cs, discharges through the boost inductors of the circuit thus limiting the rate of rise of current
during turn–on. Moreover, the advantage of the proposed active network is that it can maintain a zero
voltage switching over the entire range of the duty cycle of the operation. Consequently, boost stage can be
used directly to control the dc bus voltage by varying the duty cycle at Constant switching frequency. The
resulting advantages include higher switching frequencies, and better efficiency. Finally the operation of
the active switching network is verified experimentally on a prototype three–phase ac to dc converter.

New Solar Power Generation System Essay
This paper proposes a new solar power generation system, which is composed of a dc/dc power converter
and a new seven–level inverter. The dc/dc power converter integrates a dc–dc boost converter and a
transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into two independent voltage sources with
multiple relationships.This new seven–level inverter is configured using a capacitor selection circuit and a
full–bridge power converter, connected in cascade. The capacitor selection circuit converts the two output
voltage sources of dc–dc power converter into a three–level dc voltage, and the full–bridge power
converter further converts this three–level dc voltage into a seven–level ac voltage. In this way, the
proposed solar power generation system generates a sinusoidal output current that is in phase with the
utility voltage and is fed into the utility. The salient features of the proposed seven–level inverter are that
only six power electronic switches are used, and only one power electronic switch is switched at high
frequency at any time. A prototype is developed and tested to verify the performance of this proposed solar
power generation system.
Keywords– Grid–connected, multilevel inverter, pulse–width modulated (PWM) inverter.

Power electronics circuits convert electric power from one form to other using electronic devices. By using
semiconductor devices as switches power electronics circuits function, thereby controlling or modifying a
voltage or current.Power electronics application range from high–power conversion equipment such as dc
power transmission to everyday appliances, such as cell phone chargers, cordless screwdrivers, power
supplies for computers, and hybrid automobiles. Power electronics includes applications in which circuits
process miliwatts or megawatts.Power electronics include conversion of an unregulated dc voltage to a
regulated dc voltage conversion of ac to dc, conversion of dc to ac, and conversion of an ac power source
from one amplitude and frequency to another amplitude and frequency. These power converters are
classified as rectifiers, AC voltage controllers, DC choppers and inverters, which covers wide area of
residential, commercial and industrial applications, including computers, transportation and power utilizes

Power electronic converters, especially DC/AC inverters have been extending their range of use in
industrial application because they provide better system efficiency, reduced energy consumption and
improved quality of power. The output voltage of inverter could be fixed or variable at a fixed or variable

electromechanical devices which protect an electrical circuit from an over current as well as overload
condition. MCB is a better than Fuse since it does not require replacement once an overload is detected. In
the case of tripping because of a current overload, MCBs are very easy to reset, which is much simpler to
do that having to replace blown fuses. MCBs also trip to stop the current from flowing much faster than
fuses can operate. When the current exceeds its pre–determined value, solenoid forces the moveable
contact to open and the MCB turns off and discontinuing the current to flow in the circuit. To resume the
flow of current; the MCB needs to be turned on manually. Fig. 9.1 MCB Advantages: MCB is quick work
against short circuit. MCB is work quickly on overloading and under voltage. MCB is reliable.

definition is often mathematically represented as KW/KVA, where the numerator is the active (real) power
and the denominator is the (active + reactive) or apparent power. Reactive power is the non working power
generated by the magnetic and inductive loads, to generate magnetic flux. The increase in reactive power
increases the apparent power, so the power factor also decreases. Having low power factor, the industry

The Effect of Distributed Generation on Power Quality of Iraqi power System Networks.
Abstract: The primary motivation behind this paper is to examine the essential comprehension of power
quality in connection to the distributed generation. Because of extensive cover between two innovations,
aggravations influencing the power quality, which are principally caused by the expansion of Distributed
Generation (DG) on the existing power system network. Infusion of the DG into an electric power grid can
influence the voltage quality. Distributed generation of various voltage levels when associated with the
power system network could impact the voltage regulation, sustained interruptions, harmonics, sags,
swells, and so on. All the data given here are gathered from various references by remembering the
understudies at the starting level of the concerned topic.

Insight #2: Prediction architecture is energy efficient when sensing low–spatial frequency images.
The power consumption in this prediction architecture can be divided into three parts: the switched–
capacitor array, the comparator, and the digital circuits. Power analysis of the switched–capacitor array is
based on the charging and discharging energy during A/D conversions. At the beginning of the conversion,
the capacitors are reset to GND. In the first bit conversion, the bottom plate of the capacitor is switched to
VREF , and VDAC is charged to 1/2 VREF . This switching energy is 8CVREF 2. At this moment, if
VIN>VDAC, then the current capacitor is kept to VREF and next capacitor is switched to VREF, so
VDAC is charged to 3/4 VREF. In ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

have successfully demonstrated the prediction architecture in 2–D image sensors. We are planning to study
the prediction circuit structure for other time domain signals such as audio, temperature, pressure, and

the next sampling is still silent, while the input signal starts launching a spike, the prediction circuit should
predict the next sampling by extrapolating the slope, by doing so the analog to digital comparing power can
be greatly saved since if the input signal is sparse, most of the prediction will be correct. The

The Faults Of The Power Grid
Chapter: 1 Introduction
In today's modern world is heavily dependent on continuous and reliable power supply. Many of the
industrial processes, manufacturing, production, repairing, maintenance and not to forget a whole city is
heavily dependent on this continuous supply. It is a harsh reality to live in system without problems is next
to impossible. This problems in general are called 'faults' in the power grid language.
On daily basis many faults occur on the power grid and steps are to be taken to eliminate/remove this faults
as quick as possible. If the fault persists for long it could result in a havoc and loss of huge amount of
money, which is unacceptable.
The faults mainly occurring on a power grid includes over–current, over–voltage and short circuit. It is also
a harsh reality that this problems cannot be to some extent kept in mere attention of humans, whose
capability and speed to some extent are limited.
Hence a fast acting mind is required that takes care of this problem. To solve this problem PLC
(Programmable logic controller) comes into the picture. It is used to operate relays (a type of switch) which
in turn assists the CB (circuit breaker) to isolate the faulty part from the healthy one as quick as possible. It
operates as per the logic stored in the mind of the PLC by the user. The program language used in PLC is
very much simple and user–friendly as compared to other previously used software i.e. micro–controller.

rolling and shaping devices and gear. It is not monetary to offer clients any size and shape they require. It is
conceivable that a specialist, having planned a transformer, may then locate the material sizes don 't exist.
The specialist may then be compelled to utilize accessible materials and hence the execution of the genuine

  • 2. Analyzing The Consumers Generating Inter Harmonic Frequencies Alexander B. Nassif and Jing Yong [7] have proposed a method to identify the consumers generating inter harmonic frequencies. The inter–harmonics can be measured by means of Impedance based approach applied at the metering point. The main idea is that, the inter–harmonic impedance of the system is much smaller than that of an inter–harmonic generating load. This method can identify the source of each inter– harmonic component without having to rely solely on the active power measurement and requires only an approximate value for the inter–harmonic impedance measured at the metering point. As per references [2], [6], [7], [9] any device with nonlinear characteristics which derive their input power from a sinusoidal electrical system may be responsible for injecting harmonic currents & voltages into the electrical system [2, 6, 7, 9 ]. Francisco C. De la rossa [2] have described ,all possible nonlinear loads . Among them few are Power converters such as Variable frequency drives, DC motor controllers, Cycloconverter, Cranes, Elevators ,Steel mills, Power supplies, UPS,Battery chargers, Inverters & ARC devices such as Fluorescent lighting, ARC furnaces, Welding machines.

At present there are several reduction or mitigation methods in use to reduce the distortion of the voltage and current from non–linear distribution loads such as variable frequency drives (VFDs). Description of each method with relative advantages and disadvantages are as follows. No method used The adjustable frequency drive requirements for IEEE 519 1992 guidelines may not be met without a line reactor or additional impedance because many AFDs require a minimum of 1% to 3% input impedance. IEEE 519 1992 guidelines may not be met even if the total connected AFD or VFD loads are less than 10%. It is assumed that the AFD has a six–diode input bridge and no line reactor, filter or DC choke applied. Advantages: No additional cost The VFDs are easy to package The AFDs are easy to sell and apply. Disadvantages: There may be a possibility of high levels of harmonic voltage and current distortion. Line transients can cause damage to the VFDs. AFD impedance requirement may not be met. DC Choke On the front end of the adjustable frequency drive, a series inductance on the DC side of the semiconductor bridge circuit is called a DC choke. An equivalent AC–side line reactor is comparable to the DC choke, except that the THD of DC choke is less than that of the AC counterpart.

DCM (Discontinuous conduction mode) and MPPT (maximum power point tracking) is employed to get one power factor. Minimization of switching losses is employed with only two switches and operated at very high frequency. Easy control capability, optimum size, affordable cost with high voltage gain made the system employable. AC voltage conversion is achieved along with boosting of DC voltage of Photo– Voltaic system of inverter. Obstacle shadow variations also reduced by means of having the possibility of reduced series connected modules; this ability is due to the high voltage gain. Since the proposed design has the two buck boost converter each one operates for only one half cycle and the Discontinuous conduction mode operates at unit power factor. Simulation results assure the proposed idea of the single stage interleaved inverter for high voltage gain applications.

  • 5. Disadvantages Of Synchronous Transverter Another advantage of the synchronous converter is that it is bi–directional, which lends itself to applications requiring regenerative braking. When power is transferred in the "reverse" direction, it acts much like a boost converter. The upsides of the synchronous buck converter don't come without cost. To start with, the lower switch normally costs more than the freewheeling diode. Second, the multifaceted nature of the converter is unfathomably expanded because of the requirement for a reciprocal yield switch driver. Such a driver must keep both changes from being turned on in the meantime, a blame known as "shootthrough".

The three periods of this supply can be perceived by the three dark toroidal inductors in the closer view. The littler inductor underneath the warmth sink is a piece of an info channel. The multiphase buck converter is a circuit topology where fundamental buck converter circuits are put in parallel between the information and load. Each of the n "phases" is turned on at equally spaced intervals over the switching period. This circuit is typically used with the synchronous buck topology, described above. This kind of converter can react to load changes as fast as though it exchanged n times speedier, without the expansion in exchanging misfortunes that would bring about. Subsequently, it can react to quickly evolving burdens, for example, present day chip. There is additionally a noteworthy diminishing in exchanging swell. Not exclusively is there the reduction due to the expanded viable frequency,[4] but any time that n times the duty cycle is an integer, the changing swell goes to 0; the rate at which the inductor current is expanding in the stages which are exchanged on precisely coordinates the rate at which it is diminishing in the stages which are turned ...

  • 9. Frequency Response Characteristics of a System In a research article [9], the frequency response characteristics of the system can be altered when the harmonic distortion levels are not within the acceptable limits through changing sizes or locations of the capacitor, by changing source characteristics, or by design a harmonic filter. Filters are the most common solution as it can provide reactive power support at the fundamental frequency and a low impedance path for one or more harmonic current components to flow. The filter elements must be specifically designed to withstand the harmonic components along with the fundamental frequency voltages and currents. Common method for filter design is by utilizing one single–tuned shunt filter first, designed for the lowest generated harmonic (typically 5th) and it is advisable to use capacitors with a higher voltage rating than the system. Determine the voltage distortion level at the bus. The commonly applied limit of 5% (total harmonic distortion – THD) was presented in IEEE Standard 519–1981. If required, determine if the harmonic current levels meet IEEE Standard 519–1992. If not, there may be a need for multiple filters (i.e., 5th and 7th). Vary the filter elements according to the specified tolerances and check its effectiveness. Lastly, by checking the frequency response characteristic to verify that the newly created parallel resonance is not close to a generated harmonic frequency (i.e., the 7th harmonic filter may create a new 5th harmonic resonance).

  • 11. Power Systems Of Electric Vehicles I. INTRODUCTION Since the industrial revolution started, the acceleration of technology development never stopped. However, with the development of new technologies, environment is suffering the consequences. The rate of Carbon dioxide is increasing rapidly. To mitigate this pollution, the concept of electric vehicle arose. The electric vehicles contribute in reducing the carbon dioxide emissions[1]. Thus, the use of electric vehicles is getting more popular as time goes by. As a result of that, electric vehicles must be integrated to the electric grid. They will be treated as electric loads, which means that all concepts of power system will be applied on them. Therefore, when electric vehicles are charged, they will cause voltage drop on the distribution feeders. Hence, the presence of voltage regulators might change the voltage response of the system. II. VOLTAGE REGULATION OVERVIEW. In power Systems Distribution, voltage regulation is an important concept. It deals with ways to maintain a good voltage profile delivered to the customers. The voltage level at the customer node has to be maintained within a specified range. There are many standards that determine customer's voltage range.

  • 12. Application Of A Cuk Topology For Power Factor Correction... ABSTRACT This paper deals with a Cuk Topology for Power Factor Correction (PFC). Most of the front– end PFC converters are designed using diode bridge and has lower efficiency due to losses with reduced power factor.The current flow, during each intervals of the switching cycle reduces the conduction losses compared to the conventional Cuk PFC Rectifier. The converter also provides protection against inrush current occurring at start–up, decreases input current ripple and reduces Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).It works in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) to provide almost unity power factor and low distortions in the input current. To analyse the performance of this converter, a model based on the CUK topology has been designed by using MATLAB/ SIMULINK software and implemented with Proportional–Integral (PI) and Fuzzy logic controller.

The frequency window is centered around zero and includes positive frequencies up to half the maximum frequency, F2c and the 91.3. An Overview of Transient Solution Methods for the Electrical Network complex conjugates of these frequencies. F2c is called the Nyquist frequency and it is the maximum frequency that can exist in the frequency window[38]. 2. It takes approximately 8–10 samples to accurately represent one period of a sinusoidal signal [14]. Therefore, the time–step needed to discretize the continuous–time sinusoidal signal using N=10 samples and FNy = F2c is Eq.(1.12): ∆t = 1 10 × Fc or ∆t = 5 ×1FNy (1.12) For transient stability studies around 60Hz, the EMTP will require a time–step of approximately 1ms to solve the electrical network (Eq.(1.12)). In addition, the EMTP time–step is limited by the travelling time of the waves in the transmission lines. If the transmission lines are modelled with the constant–parameter[14] or frequency–dependent[18] line models, the time–step may be in the order of the µs. Although the EMTP is highly accuracy, its small time–steps increase the simulation time, which is a disadvantage in large systems. Because the phasor solution does not depend on the time–step in the electrical network solution, the computational time it takes to solve the network is faster ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. Power Capacitors Essay ABSTRACT In the industrial sector the various motoring loads are continuously running and generating the inductive load. So the power factor in this system gets reduced due to the inductive reactive power. But the electricity board has a standard limits regarding the power factor values and if the power factor goes below the specified limit; the electricity company charges the penalty to the industrial consumers. The automatic power factor correction panel provides the required compensation to overcome the inductive reactance by using the power capacitors. The microcontroller PIC receives current signal from current transformer and simultaneously gives the signals to the various contactors to connect the capacitors in the line for the compensation. Thus by adding the capacitor to the line will compensate the reactive power and maintains the power factor near to unity. This will avoids the penalty to the industrial consumers and may get the incentives. In the conventional methods we were using the fixed capacitor for compensation. But these were leading to excessive charging of the capacitors causes the voltage surges. Thus it becomes difficult to main power factor near unity by on and off operation of fixed capacitor. The contactor switched capacitors are connected and disconnected automatically eliminating the previous problem.

This technique is a two transistor implementation of complex logic functions; Logic functions can be designed with fewer gates. GDI provides in cell swing restoration when operated in certain conditions and use of restoration buffers. Digital circuits designed using GDI logic will have less power consumption occupy a minimum area, gate count and delay in the circuit is reduced. Because of fewer gates, there is less design complexity.GDI cell is as shown in the below figure 2.1 GDI cell looks similar to the CMOS inverter but the major difference is that the GDI cell has one PMOS and NMOS transistors connected in cascade resulting in three input terminals N, P, G. where N is the input terminal of NMOS, P is input to the PMOS and G is connected to the common gate of NMOS and PMOS. These terminals could be given a supply VDD or Grounded or input signal depending on the circuit design. In conventional CMOS inverter circuit, the PMOS and NMOS diffusion inputs are always either VDD or Ground Figure –2.1 Basic logic functions of GDI cell are as shown in the table below.

  • 19. Advantage And Disadvantage Of Inverter Abstract –A novel interleaved dual buck full–bridge three–level inverter (IDBFTI) is proposed for the grid–connected system in this paper. It retains the advantages of interleaved parallel technology for inverter as follows: reducing the output ripple current and the total harmonic distortion of the output current, increasing the power density of system, and reducing the current stress and thermal stress of power devices. Besides, it can solve the problem of zero sequence circulation current (ZSCC) in interleaved inverter system by the circuit structure, and it also has the advantages of no shoot–through problem, no reverse recovery of the body diode, and three–level output. The interleaved inverter circuits share two power–frequency switches, which are resized for each specific application, and it is easier to extend the system by improving current capability of the two switches.

As shown in Fig.6, when the interleaved parallel strategy is used, switch S1 of half–bridge inverter A and the switch S4 of half–bridge inverter B can conduct during the interval [t0, t1] in Fig.7. When working in discontinuous current mode, the inverter will generate circulation current ibias (ibias=iL2), which flows through two half–bridge inverters, and the current iL2 of half–bridge inverter B is reversed, so the current flowing through the load io (io =iL1+iL2) will be reduced relatively. Consequently there will be several problems such as additional power losses, lower efficiency, and increased device stress.

Objectages And Disadvantages Of High Step-Up Converter Many of these conventional DC–DC converters have the disadvantages of operating at high duty–cycle, high switch voltage stress and high diode peak current. The conventional boost high step–up converter can provide very high voltage gain without operating at high duty–cycle by employing a coupled inductor, a switched capacitor and an additional diode. Non–isolated high step up converter overcomes this drawback. This converter reduces voltage stress on switch and diode by using additional one capacitor and rearranging components in conventional single switch high step–up converter. At the same time, the switch voltage stress is reduced greatly, which is helpful to reduce the conduction losses by using low power rated components and efficiency will increase. Single switch is used in the non–isolated high step up converter, thus reduce the entire cost of the converter.

It is shown that by using proposed switching network in three–phase ac to dc boost converter, zero switching losses are obtained while maintaining a unity input power factor. Active network capacitor, Cs, diodes D7, and D8, maintain a zero voltage during turn–off of Q1, and Q2, Capacitor, Cs, discharges through the boost inductors of the circuit thus limiting the rate of rise of current during turn–on. Moreover, the advantage of the proposed active network is that it can maintain a zero voltage switching over the entire range of the duty cycle of the operation. Consequently, boost stage can be used directly to control the dc bus voltage by varying the duty cycle at Constant switching frequency. The resulting advantages include higher switching frequencies, and better efficiency.

  • 26. New Solar Power Generation System Essay This paper proposes a new solar power generation system, which is composed of a dc/dc power converter and a new seven–level inverter. The dc/dc power converter integrates a dc–dc boost converter and a transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into two independent voltage sources with multiple relationships.This new seven–level inverter is configured using a capacitor selection circuit and a full–bridge power converter, connected in cascade. The capacitor selection circuit converts the two output voltage sources of dc–dc power converter into a three–level dc voltage, and the full–bridge power converter further converts this three–level dc voltage into a seven–level ac voltage. In this way, the proposed solar power generation system generates a sinusoidal output current that is in phase with the utility voltage and is fed into the utility. The salient features of the proposed seven–level inverter are that only six power electronic switches are used, and only one power electronic switch is switched at high frequency at any time. A prototype is developed and tested to verify the performance of this proposed solar power generation system. Keywords– Grid–connected, multilevel inverter, pulse–width modulated (PWM) inverter. 1.

IEEE characterizes the generation of power by offices adequately littler than central plants, for the most part, 10 MW or less, to permit interconnection at about any point in the power system, as Distributed Resources. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) characterizes distributed generation as generation from a couple of kilowatts up to 50 MW. International Energy Agency (IEA) characterizes DG as "Power generation equipment and system utilized for the most part at distribution levels and where the power is fundamentally utilized locally on site". The International Council on Large Electricity Systems (CIGRE) characterizes DG as generation that is not midway arranged, halfway dispatched at present, typically connected to the distribution network, and smaller than 50–100 MW. These generators are appropriated all through the power system nearer to the load. The DG penetration in the grid postures new difficulties ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. Introduction And Literature Review : CHAPTER –1 INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW From a producer 's point of view it is helpful to plan and incite a set scope of transformer sizes. Usually, the terminal voltages, VA rating and frequency are assigned. These specifications decide the materials to be utilized and their measurements. This way to deal with transformer outline has been used and displayed in point of interest in standard course book. It has been used as an outline execute for enlightening college classes at universities., it has been utilized widely as a part of outlining transformers for exchanged mode power supplies. Nonetheless, by outlining to evaluated details, thought is not unequivocally given to what materials and sizes are really accessible. Coreand winding material suppliers offer inventories of favored sizes, especially so for littler rating gadgets. This mirrors the supplier 's assembling abilities in expulsion, rolling and shaping devices and gear. It is not monetary to offer clients any size and shape they require. It is conceivable that a specialist, having planned a transformer, may then locate the material sizes don 't exist. The specialist may then be compelled to utilize accessible materials and hence the execution of the genuine transformer that is fabricated is prone to be essentially unique in relation to that of the outline counts. Because of troubles in assessing genuine winding measurements, the spillage reactance specifically may not be computed effectively. The leakage ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
