AC - AC power conversions were traditionally done by using thyristor power controllers, phase angle control or by
integral cycle control, but had low PF and other disadvantages. Variable voltage, variable frequency high power conversions
are nowadays use DC link and Matrix converters, with higher efficiency and better regulation. But in situations where only
voltage regulation is required and the circuit need to be simple and less complicated, directed PWM AC-AC converters are
more preferred, due to reduced size and components. This project presents the design and simulation of a new type of AC-AC
converter which can operate as traditional non-inverting buck and boost converters, and inverting buck-boost converter as
well. This converter uses six unidirectional current flowing and bidirectional voltage blocking switches, implemented by six
reverse blocking IGBTs or series MOSFET-diode pairs, two input and output filter capacitors, and one inductor. It has no
shoot-through problem of voltage source (or capacitor) even when all switches are turned-on and therefore; PWM dead times
are not needed resulting in high quality waveforms, and solves the commutation problem without using bulky and lossy RC
snubbers or dedicated soft-commutation strategies. It has smaller switching losses because; only two switches out of six are
switched at high frequency during each half cycle of input voltage, and it can use power MOSFETs as body diode never
conducts, making it immune from MOSFET failure risk..
Design of Three-Phase Three-Switch Buck-Type Rectifier for Pre-Charging Appli...IAES-IJPEDS
The main objective of a pre-charging circuit in variable frequency drives is to
pre-charge the DC-bus capacitor without any voltage and current overshoot
within the specified time. In exisiting variable frequency drives seperte precharging
circuits (or) thyristor bridges were used due to this drives power
density, cost becomes high and control technique becomes complex. This
paper presents about the design of three-phase three-switch buck-type
rectifier for pre-charging application used in variable frequency drives which
elimates the disadvantages of existing techniques. In this paper we will
discuss about design procedure of pre-charging circuit of an 800KW
converter with dc-link output voltage of 775V at an input ac voltage of 550V,
60Hz, selection of power and passive components, voltage and current stress
of power transistors. In the final this paper discusses about loss distribution
of the components and comparison of new converter technique with existing
pre-charging techniques.
This document contains questions and answers related to power electronics devices and converters. It begins with definitions of key power electronics terms:
- IGBT is popular due to lower switching losses and smaller snubber circuit requirements.
- Thyristors can be turned on through forward voltage, gate, dv/dt, temperature, or light triggering.
- Power diodes have higher voltage, current, and power ratings than signal diodes due to a drift region construction.
- IGBTs, power MOSFETs, and power BJTs are voltage, voltage, and current controlled devices respectively due to how their output current is controlled by their input signals.
- There are N-channel and P-channel
Power electronics deals with applying electronic principles to power-level situations rather than signal-level. It involves devices like power diodes, thyristors (SCRs), and transistors (BJT, MOSFET, IGBT) that can control high currents and voltages. A thyristor maintains conduction below its holding current and latches on above its latching current. Snubber circuits protect thyristors from high dv/dt. Controlled rectifiers use thyristors to vary DC output voltage. Choppers vary DC voltage using switching circuits. Inverters convert DC to AC. AC voltage controllers vary AC output voltage using phase control or on-off control of thyristors. Cycloconverters directly convert AC power

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Theory
A SCR is a four layer three terminal semiconductor switching device of PNPN structure
with three PN junctions. The three terminals are anode, cathode and gate. SCRs are
manufactured by diffusion.
When the anode voltage is made positive with respect to cathode, the junctions J1 and J3
are forward biased and junction J2 is reverse biased. A small leakage current flows from anode
to cathode. The thyristor is then said to be in forward blocking or OFF state condition. If VAK is
increased to a sufficient larger value, the reverse biased junction J2 will break. This is known as
avalanche breakdown and corresponding voltage is called forward breakdown voltage (VBO).
Now the device is in ON state. Latching current is defined as the minimum amount of anode
current required to maintain the thyristor in ON state immediately after the thyristor has been
turned ON and the gate signal has been removed. However, if the forward anode current is
reduced below a level known as holding current (IH), a depletion region will develop around
junction J2 due to the reduced number of carriers and the thyristor will be in the blocking state.
Holding current is the minimum anode current required to maintain the thyristor in ON state.
Holding current is less than latching current.
When the cathode is positive with respect to anode, junction J2 is forward biased but
junction J1 and J3 are reverse biased. Now the thyristor will be in reverse blocking state and
reverse leakage current known as reverse current known as IR would flow through the device.

Theory
AC regulator is used to convert fixed AC to Variable AC with fixed frequency. It
consists of two SCRs connected in anti-parallel. For power transfer, two types of control are
normally used: 1. Phase angle control 2. On-off control. In phase control, thyristor switches
connect the load to the AC source for a portion of each cycle of input voltage. In on-off control,
thyristor switches connect the load to the AC source for a few cycles of input voltage and then
disconnect it for another few cycles. Single phase AC regulators are used in fan control,
illumination control and heating control etc. Since the input power is AC, thyristors are line
commutated. Phase control thyristors, which are relatively inexpensive and slower than fast
switching thyristors. Due to line or natural commutation, there is no need of extra commutation
circuitry and the circuits for AC voltage controllers are very simple.

Theory
A SCR is a unidirectional device as it conducts from anode to cathode only and not from
cathode to anode. A TRIAC can conduct in both directions. A TRIAC is a bidirectional thyristor
with three terminals. It is used extensively for control of power in AC circuits. When in
operation, a TRIAC is equivalent to two SCRs connected in anti-parallel. As the TRIAC can
conduct in both directions, the term anode and cathode are not applicable to TRIAC. Its three
terminals are usually designated as MT1 (main terminal 1), MT2 (main terminal 2) and gate.
With no signal in the gate, TRIAC will block both half cycles of applied voltage in case
peak value of the voltage is less than the break over voltage of the TRIAC. The TRIAC can
however be turned ON in each half cycle of the applied voltage by applying a positive or
negative voltage to MT2 with respect to MT1.

A power MOSFET has three terminals called drain, source and gate in place of
corresponding three terminals collector, emitter and base for BJT. A BJT is a current controlled
device whereas power MOSFET is a voltage controlled device. The control signals are base
current in BJT is much larger than the control signal or gate current required in a MOSFET.
This is because of the fact that gate circuit impedance in MOSFET is extremely high of the
order of 109
ohms. This large impedance permits the MOSFET gate to drive directly from
microelectronics circuits. BJT suffers from secondary breakdown voltage whereas MOSFET is
free from this problem.
Power MOSFETs finds application in low power high frequency converters. Two types
of power MOSFETs are there. 1. Enhancement MOSFET 2. Depletion MOSFET. Out of these
two types, n-channel enhancement MOSFET is more common because of high mobility of
electrons.

A power IGBT has terminals called emitter, collector and gate. This device combines
into it the advantages of both MOSFET and BJT. So an IGBT has high impedance like
MOSFET and low on state power loss like BJT. Further IGBT is free from secondary
breakdown problem present in BJT. IGBT is also known as Metal Oxide Insulated Gate
Transistor (MOIGT) or Conductively Modulated Field Transistor (COMFET).
In forward direction, the shape of the output characteristics is similar to that of BJT. But
here the controlling parameter is the gate emitter voltage (VGE) because IGBT is a voltage

Theory
A forward biased thyristor is usually turned ON by applying a positive gate voltage
between gate and cathode. There is, however, a transition time from forward OFF state to
forward ON state. This transition time called thyristor turn-on time is defined as the time during
which it changes from forward blocking state to final ON state. Total turn ON time can be
divided into three intervals: 1. Delay time 2. Rise time 3. Spread time.
Thyristor turn-off means that it has changed from on to off state and is capable of
blocking the forward voltage. This dynamic process of the SCR from conduction state to
forward blocking state is called commutation process or turn off process. Turn off time of a
thyristor is defined as the time between the instant anode current becomes zero and the instant
SCR regains forward blocking capability.

Theory
The switching characteristics of the power MOSFET are influenced to a large extent by
the internal capacitance of the device and the internal impedance of the gate drive circuit. Turn
on time is divided into turn on delay time and rise time. During delay time the input capacitance
charges to gate threshold voltage and drain current is zero. In rise time, drain current rises from
zero to on state current.
MOSFET is a majority carrier device and turn off process is initiated soon after removal
of gate voltage. Turn off time is divided into turn off delay time and fall time. During turn off
delay time drain current is constant and during fall time, Id decreases to zero and the input
capacitance discharges fully.

Theory
Diode rectifiers provide a fixed DC output voltage and controlled rectifiers give a
variable DC output voltage from a fixed AC supply. The output voltage of the phase controlled
rectifiers is varied by varying the firing angle of thyristors. A phase controlled thyristor is turned
on by applying a short pulse to its gate and turned off due to natural commutation.
Phase controlled rectifiers are simple and less expensive and the efficiency of these
rectifiers are normally above 90%. Phase controlled rectifiers can be classified into two types
depending on the supply: 1. Single phase converters 2. Three phase converters. Each type can be
subdivided into a) semi converter b) full converter c) dual converter. A full converter is a two
quadrant converter and the polarity of the output voltage can be either positive or negative.
However, the polarity of the output current is always positive.
During the positive half cycle, thyristors T1 and T2 are forward biased and when these
two thyristors are fired simultaneously at αω =t , the load is connected to the input supply
through T1 and T2. During the negative half cycle, thyristors T3 and T4 are forward biased and
when these two thyristors are fired simultaneously at απω +=t , the load is connected to the

In Buck converter the output voltage is always less than the input voltage in the same
polarity and is not isolated from the input. The input current for a buck converter is
discontinuous or pulsating due to power switch current that pulses from zero to I0 every
switching cycle. The output current for a buck power stage is continuous or non pulsating
because the output current is supplied by the output inductor /capacitor combination; the output
current never supplies the entire load current. It’s main applications are in regulated DC power
supplies and DC motor speed control.

66. DC to AC converters is known as inverters. The function of an inverter is to change a
DC input voltage to a symmetrical ac output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The
output voltage could be variable or fixed frequency. A variable output voltage can be obtained
by varying the input DC voltage and maintaining the gain of the inverter constant. On the other
hand, if the DC input voltage is fixed and it is not controllable, a variable voltage can be
obtained by varying the gain of the inverter, which is normally accomplished by pulse-width-
modulation (PWM) control with in the inverter. The inverter gain can be defined as the ratio of
the AC output voltage to DC input voltage.
Inverters are broadly classified into two types (1) Single-phase inverters, and (2)
three –phase inverters. These inverters use PWM control signals for producing the AC output
voltage. An inverter is called voltage –fed inverter (VFI or VSI) if the input
Voltage remains constant, a current-fed inverter (CFI or CSI) if the input current is maintained
constant.
A Single-phase bridge inverter consists of four switching devices T1, T2,
T3, T4 and the four inverse parallel diodes D1, D2, D3, D4.The diodes are essential to conduct the
reactive current and thereby to feedback the stored energy in the inductor to the dc source. These
diodes are known as feedback diodes.

Theory
DC to AC converter is known as inverter. For providing adjustable frequency power to
industrial applications, three phase inverters are common than single-phase inverters. Three
phase inverters like single-phase inverters, take their DC supply from a battery or more usually
from a rectifier.
Basic three-phase inverters are a six-step bridge inverter. It uses a minimum of six
thyristors. In inverter terminology a step is defined as a change in firing from one thyristor to the
next thyristor in proper sequence. For one cycle of 360° each step would be of 60° intervals for
a six-step inverter. This means that thyristor would be gated at regular intervals of 60° in proper
sequence so that a 3-phase voltage is synthesized at the output terminals of a six-step inverter.
68
70. The power circuit of a three-phase bridge inverter has six thyristors and six diodes.
Presently, the use of IGBTs in single-phase and three-phase inverters is on the rise. A large
capacitor is connected at the input terminals tends to make the input DC voltage constant. This
capacitor also suppresses the harmonics fed back to the source.
There are two possible patterns of gating the thyristors.In one pattern, each thyristor
conducts for180° and in the other, each thyristor conducts for 120°, but in both these patterns,
gating signals are applied and removed at 60° intervals of the output voltage waveforms.
Therefore both these modes require a six-step bridge inverter.

Theory
The name load resonant converter refers to the fact that for this type of converters, the
load is part of the resonant circuit. There are basically two different types, the series and parallel
resonant converters.
Series Resonant Converter
The series resonant converter consists of one or two half bridges forming a half or full
bridge converter. Between the output terminals, a series resonant circuit is connected. This
series resonant circuit consists of an inductor, a capacitor and a resistor, with one or more of
these elements actually being part of the load. Usually, at least the resistor is part of the
load.However, for this basic circuit only AC-power can be delivered to the load,
72
74. due to the resonant behavior of the circuit. If a DC –load is used, the resistor can be replaced by
a rectifier connected to the DC load If the load is directly connected to the resonant circuit,
i.e,without a rectifier in between it is referred to as a series resonant DC to AC converter. If the
load is connected to the converter via a rectifier, it is referred to as a series resonant DC to DC
converter. The series resonant circuit is operated well below resonant frequency and with
discontinuous resonant current.
.
Parallel Resonant converter
The parallel load resonant converter is similar to series resonant converter. However, in
case of a parallel resonant converter, the output rectifier is connected in parallel with the
resonant capacitor. Since the resonant capacitor represents a voltage source to the rectifier, the
output filter of the rectifier must be a current source; i.e.inductive.The rectifier represents a non
linear load in this case. Usually, a transformer is connected between the resonant circuit and the
rectifier in order to adapt the load voltage to the DC link voltage.
Unlike the case with the series resonant converter, the resonant inductor current is not
determined by the rectifier output current for the parallel resonant converter. On the other hand,
the rectifier output voltage is dependant on the capacitor voltage for the parallel resonant
converter.
