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.
This paper presents the review of design variables optimization and control strategies of a Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator (LSRA). The introduction of various type of linear electromagnetic actuators (LEA) are compared and the advantages of LSRA over other LEA are discussed together with the type of actuator configurations and topologies. The SRA provides an overall efficiency similar to induction actuator of the similar rating, subsequently the friction and windage losses are comparable but force density is better. LSRA has the advantage of low cost, simple construction and high reliability compare to the actuator with permanent magnet. However, LSRA also has some obvious defects which will influence the performance of the actuator such as ripples and acoustic noise which are caused by the highly nonlinear characteristics of the actuator. By researching the design variables of the actuator, the influences of those design variables are introduced and the detail comparisons are analyzed in this paper. In addition, this paper also reviews on the control strategies in order to overcome the weaknesses of LSRA.

Design of a wind power generation system using a permanent magnet synchronous...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper presents a wind power system using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM). The whole system consists of a wind turbine, a permanent magnet synchronous machine, a three phase diode rectifier, a boost converter, a transformer-less step down circuit, an H-bridge inverter and a T-LCL filter. The 3-phase AC output from the PMSM is sent to the 3-phase diode rectifier for conversion to DC and a boost regulator is used to step-up this DC voltage to the desired level. This step-upped DC voltage is then converted into AC output by the H-Bridge inverter. The switching technique of the proposed inverter consists of a combination of Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and a square wave along with grid synchronization conditions. As the suggested method is entirely transformer-less, it significantly reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to less than 0.1% and minimizes its size. The T-LCL Immittance Converter not only reduces the harmonics of the inverter output but also provides a nearly constant output current thereby stabilizing the system. The system setup and the simulation results were obtained using the PSIM software.

Induction motor harmonic reduction using space vector modulation algorithmjournalBEEI
The vector control was proposed as an alternative to the scalar control for AC machines control. Vector control provide high operation performance in steady state and transient operation. However, the variable switching frequency of vector control causes high flux and torque ripples which lead to an acoustical noise and degrade the performance of the control scheme. The insertion of the space vector modulation was a very useful solution to reduce the high ripples level inspite of its complexity. Numerical simulation results obtained in MATLAB/Simulink show the good dynamic performance of the proposed vector control technique and the effectiveness of the proposed sensorless strategy in the presence of the sudden load torque basing on the integral backstepping approach capabilities on instant perturbation rejection.

Implementation of ac induction motor control using constant vhz principle and...eSAT Journals
Abstract
This paper presents the hardware implementation of V/f control of induction motor using sine wave PWM method. Because of its
simplicity, the V/F control also called as the scalar control, is the most widely used speed control method in the industrial
applications. In this method the ratio between stator voltage to frequency is maintained constant so that the stator flux is
maintained constant. As the stator flux is maintained constant, the torque developed by the motor depends only on the slip speed
and is independent of the supply frequency. Thus we can control the speed and torque of induction motor by simply controlling the
slip speed of induction motor. The complete control is achieved with the help of TMS320F28027 Development Board. One of the
basic requirements of this scheme is the PWM inverter. The gating signals are generated using sine wave PWM technique.
Implementation issues such as PWM signal generation, ramp control, v/f control, inverter design are discussed. The results are
discussed based on the various waveforms.

MODELLING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN IMPROVED DSVM SCHEME FOR PMSM DTCpaperpublications3
Abstract: A very widely used drive strategy for PMSM is the field oriented control (FOC), which was proposed in 1971 for induction motors (IMs). However, the FOC scheme is quite complex due to the reference frame transformation and its high dependence upon the motor parameters and speed. To mitigate these problems, a new control strategy for the torque control of induction motor was developed by Takahashi known as the direct torque control (DTC) and by Depenbrock as the direct self control (DSC). The basic direct torque control (DTC) scheme may cause undesired torque, flux and current ripples because of the small number of applicable voltage vectors. The control system should be able to generate any voltage vector, implying the use of space vector modulation (SVM) which complicates the control scheme. The discrete space vector modulation (DSVM) method was proposed for DTC to overcome this problem which replaces the simple switching table by several switching tables, to apply a combination of three voltage vectors in the same sampling period. In this paper, after a brief review of the primary concept of DSVM DTC technique, a new scheme of DSVM DTC for PMSM is proposed with a new set of switching tables taking into account the motor speed and the absolute values of torque and flux feedback errors. In one fixed sampling time interval, three vectors are applied to the motor including the two null vectors. Comparisons of the basic DTC and the improved DSVM DTC schemes are made based on the system performance and switching loss. For this purpose the DSVM technique uses prefixed time intervals within a sampling cycle to synthesize a higher number of voltage vectors than the basic DTC scheme. A set of switching table is carried out to minimize the torque error. An optimal vector selector is developed to reduce the switching loss and make the system more stable. The sampling period does not need to be doubled in order to achieve a mean switching frequency practically equal to that of the basic DTC scheme. For a comparable performance, the switching loss of the proposed scheme is less than that of the basic DTC method. The vector application sequence is investigated and an optimal algorithm is developed to reduce the switching loss and torque ripple. Simulation and experiments on the improved DSVM DTC are carried out and compared with those on the basic DTC scheme.

Abstract Due to double saliency nature and non-linear magnetic characteristics the torque ripple is high in Switched Reluctance Motor. The torque ripple depends on the operating speed, current and turn off and turn-on angles of the converter. The performance of the motor is analyzed for Hysteresis Current Control with Fan type load with respect to torque ripple. The SRM with Hysteresis Current Control is analyzed for different combinations of turn-off and turn-on at a fixed reference speed to find out a pair of turn-on and turn-off angles at which torque ripple is minimum.

Speed Control System of Induction Motor by using Vector Control Methodijtsrd
In the Vector Control method of induction motors, one of the advantages of the separately excited DC motor of being able to decouple the flux control and the torque is thereby opened up. The field orientation control of induction motor allows decoupling the control of magnetic flux and the control of the torque produced by the stator current. To drive three phase squirrel cage induction motor with a constant speed, vector control technique is used. In this paper, the development of speed control system for three phase squirrel cage induction motor using a vector control method is presented and simulation for proposed system is done with the help of MATLAB SIMULINK.

Improved Torque Control Performance in Direct Torque Control using Optimal Sw...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents the significant improvement of Direct Torque Control (DTC) of 3-phases induction machine using a Cascaded H- Bidge Multilevel Inverter (CHMI). The largest torque ripple and variable switching frequency are known as the major problem founded in DTC of induction motor. As a result, it can diminish the performance induction motor control. Therefore, the conventional 2- level inverter has been replaced with CHMI the in order to increase the performance of the motor either in dynamic or steady-state condition. By using the multilevel inverter, it can produce a more selection of the voltage vectors. Besides that, it can minimize the torque ripple output as well as increase the efficiency by reducing the switching frequency of the inverter. The simulation model of the proposed method has been developed and tested by using Matlab software. Its improvements were also verified via experimental results.
Control of Four Switch Three Phase Inverter Fed Induction Motor Drives Based ...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents sensorless position and speed control for a four-switch three-phase inverter (FSTPI) fed induction motor drive. Accurate knowledge of stator resistance is of utmost importance for correct operation of a number of speed sensorless induction motor control schemes in the low speed region. Since stator resistance inevitably varies with operating conditions, stable and accurate operation at near-zero speed requires an appropriate identification algorithm for the stator resistance. The paper proposes such an identification algorithm, which is developed for the rotor flux based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) type of the speed estimator in conjunction with a rotor flux oriented control scheme. In this speed estimation method only one (out of the two available) degree of freedom is utilized for speed estimation. It is utilize the second available degree of freedom as a mean for adapting the stator resistance. The parallel stator resistance and rotor speed identification algorithm is developed in a systematic manner, using Popov’s hyper stability theory. It increases the complexity of the overall control system insignificantly and enables correct speed estimation and stable drive operation at near-zero speeds. The proposed speed and position estimator with parallel stator resistance identification for FSTPI fed induction motor at very low speed under high load operation is verified by simulation and experimental results. The results show the robustness of the proposed method with FSTPI.
Review of Improved Direct Torque Control Methodologies for Induction Motor Dr...AM Publications
ecoupled control of induction motor drives is possible using Direct Torque Control (DTC) method which
is very simple control strategy compared to field oriented control. In this method direct torque control is achieved by
selecting suitable inverter switching voltage vector from a lookup table. But drawback of this method is that it
produces toque ripples. Also the switching frequency of inverter switches is not constant. Many methods have been
proposed to address these issues of DTC. This paper reviews various methodologies which are suggested to improve
performance of basic DTC induction motor drive.
A switched reluctance actuator (SRA) is a type of electromagnetic stepper actuator that is gaining popularity for its simple and rugged construction, ability of extremely high-speed operation and hazard-free operation. SRA gained supremacy over permanent magnet actuators due to the fact that its building material are relatively low cost compared to the expensive and rare permanent magnets. SRA is already making its debut in automotive, medical and high precision applications. However, many parties are still oblivious to this new age actuator. This paper reviews the latest literature in terms of journal articles and conference proceedings regarding the different design parameters and control method of SRA. The impact of the parameters on the performance of SRA are discussed in details to provide valuable insight. This paper also discussed the advantages of various novel SRA structure designs that prove to be a huge contribution to the future technology. It is found that several design parameters such as the air gap when kept minimum, increases torque value; while increasing number of phases in SRA minimizes torque ripples. Increased stator and rotor arc angles will increase torque, not to mention a larger excitation current can also achieve the same effect. Researches are often done through Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis to verify the optimized design parameters before fabrication, whilst experimental procedures are executed to verify the simulation results. To ensure smooth phase switching and improved torque output, intelligent controllers are employed in speed control and direct torque control (DTC) methods of SRA.

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.

In this article, we have set up a vector control law of induction machine
where we tried different type of speed controllers. Our control strategy is of
type Field Orientated Control (FOC). In this structure we designed a Fuzzy
Gain-Scheduling Proportional–Integral (Pi) controller to obtain best result
regarding the speed of induction machine. At the beginning we designed a Pi
controller with fixed parameters. We came up to these parameters by
identifying the transfer function of this controller to that of Broïda (second
order transfer function). Then we designed a fuzzy logic (FL) controller.
Based on simulation results, we highlight the performances of each
controller. To improve the speed behaviour of the induction machine, we
have designend a controller called “Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling Proportional–
Integral controller” (FGS-PI controller) which inherited the pros of the
aforementioned controllers. The simulation result of this controller will
strengthen its performances.

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.
Modelling of a 3-Phase Induction Motor under Open-Phase Fault Using Matlab/Si...IJPEDS-IAES
The d-q model of Induction Motors (IMs) has been effectively used as an
efficient method to analyze the performance of the induction machines. This
study presents a step by step Matlab/Simulink implementation
of a star-connected 3-phase IM under open-phase fault (faulty 3-phase IM)
using d-q model. The presented technique in this paper can be simply
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.
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.
Novel Discrete Components Based Speed Controller for Induction MotorIJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents an electronic design based on general purpose discrete
components for speed control of a single phase induction motor drive. The
MOSFETs inverter switching is controlled using Sampled Sinusoidal Pulse
Width Modulation (SPWM) techniques with V/F method based on Voltage
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
effectiveness of electronic design for a promising of a high performance IM
PWM drive.
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.

In this paper a voltage quadrupler dc-dc converter with coupled inductor
and π filter is presented. The use of the coupled inductor reduces the high
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
the transformer eneabled circuit and the overall efficiency of the system is
improved. The circuit is simple to control. As a final point of this research,
the simulation and the hardware investigational results are presented to
demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed converter.
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.

This paper discusses the Power Factor Correction (PFC) for single phase AC-DC Buck-Boost Converter (BBC) operated in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) using inductor average current mode control. The proposed control technique employs Proportional-Integral (PI) controller in the outer voltage loop and the Inductor Average Current Mode Control (IACMC) in the inner current loop for PFC BBC. The IACMC has advantages such as robustness when there are large variations in line voltage and output load. The PI controller is developed by using state space average model of BBC. The simulation of the proposed system with its control circuit is implemented in MatLab/Simulink. The simulation results show a nearly unity power factor can be attained and there is almost no change in power factor when the line frequency is at various ranges. Experimental results are provided to show its validity and feasibility.

Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control for Photovoltaic SystemIJPEDS-IAES
In this study, a fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) based maximum power point tracking strategy has been applied for photovoltaic (PV) system. The key idea of the proposed technique is to combine the performances of the fuzzy logic and the sliding mode control in order to improve the generated power for a given set of climatic conditions. Different from traditional sliding mode control, the developed FSMC integrates two parts. The first part uses a fuzzy logic controller with two inputs and 25 rules as an equivalent controller while the second part is designed for an online adjusting of the switching controller’s gain using a fuzzy tuner with one input and one output. Simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed approach achieving maximum power point. The fuzzy sliding mode (FSM) controller takes less time to track the maximum power point, reduced the oscillation around the operating point and also removed the chattering phenomena that could lead to decrease the efficiency of the photovoltaic system.
An Experimental Study of P&O MPPT Control for Photovoltaic SystemsIJPEDS-IAES
Tracking the maximum power point plays an important role for the optimization of the solar energy. The objective here is to study experimentally optimizing photovoltaic (PV) systems connected to a DC-DC converter (Boost) and a resistive load. For this, tests were conducted to determine the law of open loop control (power versus the duty cycle) for different solar irradiance values and load with an approximately constant cell temperature. The obtained results showed that the power passes through a maximum point. In order to extract the maximum power, for different values of solar irradiance and load, an MPPT control "Perturb and Observe" P & O has been implemented on a DSPACE 1104. The experimental results showed the performance of the method suggested.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

To maximize the ratio of torque to current in all operating points, [12] has proposed a neural network in
which the reference current and speed were used as inputs and turn-on /off angles were used as outputs [13].
Introduced the method in which the turn-on/ off angles optimized by an adaptive fuzzy controller [14].
Proposed the method to determine commutation angle and reduce torque ripples with higher efficiency for
SRM. An analytical equation respect to the self-inductance of each phase in the vicinity of the unaligned
position introduced in [15], and an analytic turn-on angle according to related phase voltage and motor speed
was calculated [16].
Proposed novel logical rules to modify the reference phase torque which can be applied on all types
of TSFs. In this reference, torque errors of two adjacent phases which are participating in commutation area
used to regulate the reference phase torque of the others so that the torque generated in this area remains
constant. However, the modified method introduced in [16] didn't consider the ability to change the turn-on
angle which can have major effects on torque ripple especially near the based speed. Moreover, maximum
torque ripple-free speed region without turn-on angle control was limited to the low speed operation. In this
paper, analytical approach considering the independency of phase inductance near the unaligned position
respect to the phase current will be used to regulate the turn-on angle and modified logical rules will enhance
the motor resultant torque so that the torque ripple reduced to the desired level. Torque generation principles
in SRM presented in section II, TSFs and the modified rules provided in section III, turn-on angle control
algorithm as well as the proposed modified TSF presented in IV and verifications will be made by simulation
results in section V.
2. TORQUE PRODUCTION PRINCIPLES
Switched reluctance motors with salient poles on the rotor and stator and concentrated windings on
stator poles are usually constructed without wiring or permanent magnet on the rotor laminated core. Torque
Production on switched reluctance motor is based on the principle of tendency to the least reluctance in the
magnetic flux path. In this motor energy conversion has the close relationship with the phase current in stator
windings and the rotor position.

According to the above equation, T is the torque generated by each phase, i represents the phase

The above equation shows that the relation between motor or generator torque is independent of the
current direction. In other words, the slope of inductance profile can determine the operating mode of this
machine. In general, voltage equation for each phase can be represented by the following eqation:

(4)
According to equation (3), the generated torque at each phase is positive when the slope of the
inductance profile is positive and it will be negative when the slope of inductance becomes negative. Figure 1
shows the instance for a 4-phase SRM inductance profile during the unaligned to the aligned position for
various phase current values. In this figure, phase current ascending leads to magnetic saturation in the
corresponding stator pole and decrease the phase inductance in the vicinity of aligned position. However,
phase current amplitude doesn't have much effect on the inductance near the unaligned position.

Figure 1. Inductance Profile of Considered 4-Phase SRM Versus Current and Rotor Position Variations
In motor mode operation, current in each phase starts to conduct from the unaligned position
and where the slope of inductance becomes positive. As Figure 1 shows, when the stator and rotor poles
placed where they have maximum air gap distance, the lowest inductance will be obtained. While, in the
aligned position, the inductance will be the greatest value due to the minimum air gap between stator
and rotor poles. In the neighboring aligned and unaligned positions, the slope of inductance is negligible
and thus the potential for torque production is low based on equation (3). Therefore, applying phase voltage
in the vicinity of unaligned position can dramatically increase copper losses while no torque production will
be achieved.
3. TORQUE SHARING FUNCTIONS (TSFs)
One of the most simple and effective method in order to minimize torque ripples at the switched
reluctance motor is torque sharing functions (TSFs) scheme. In this method, the reference torque is divided in
to reference torque functions corresponding to each of the phases, so that the resultant motor torque remains
at desired reference value. Considering this concept, the conduction current in each phase can be divided in
to two areas which are named: Single-phase conduction and the adjacent phase commutation areas. In the
commutation area, two adjacent phases have been excited and are simultaneously active. Figure (2) shows
four different conventional torque sharing functions such as, linear type, cosine, cube and exponential type
which are obtained from equations (5) to (8). The turn-on angle and commutation interval has significant
effects on torque control performance. In other words, turn-on angle should be controlled based on the motor
speed due to the dependency of motor internal back-EMF with operational speed and considering the
limitation of converter voltage. At low speed, the reference torque tracking in both incoming and outgoing
phases can be occasionally well performed. While, increscent in rotor speed can have significant influence on
the magnitude of motor Back-EMF and deteriorate the torque control in both phases in commutation area due
to considering the limitation of converter voltage.

4. TURN-ON ANGLE CONTROL WITH MODIFIED TORQUE SHARING FUNCTIONS
When the stator and rotor poles have the maximum air gap distance from each other, the inductance
magnitude has the minimum value while in the same axial position, the inductance will be maximum
magnitude as depicted in Figure 1. In this figure the measured inductance values plotted using curves in
different rotor positions by applying the various phase currents. It can be shown that starting from unaligned
position and in neighboring area of this point; the inductance curves for different phase currents have
approximately the same pattern. However, increasing rotor position toward the aligned position has
significant effect on inductance curves due to the magnetic saturation in rotor and stator poles. In the vicinity

of unaligned position, the inductance curves can be estimated according to equation (9) and be considered
only by rotor position [15]. In other words, phase current doesn't have much influence on inductance value.
b)/c(θaeL (9)
Where, L is inductance, θ is position of the rotor and a, b and c are parameters determined by curve
fitting. The above equation shows that (3) can be most accurate at the vicinity of unaligned position where
the inductance curve is only the function of rotor position. Increasing rotor speed leads to raise the internal
motor back-EMF and reference current or torque tracking can substantially deteriorated. This will reduces the
effectiveness of TSF schemes to overcome torque ripples produced by commutation between adjacent
phases. Many previous works considered some different relations for the turn-on angles based on the motor
speed. However, the proposed methods were proportional to the motor parameters approximately.
The constant values in (9) are respectively equal to 0.0088, 1.1 and 9.66 for the motor considered in this
paper. Using some simple manipulations (10) can be derived.

In this equation, i

produce similar torque at the same phase current. In other words, i

where incoming and outgoing phase generate the half of reference torque at the same current level. Figure 3
shows the approximate approach to find the i
cθ for different reference torques.

It is noteworthy to mention that before i
cθ (from unaligned position to i
cθ ) the slope of inductance
curve will be much greater than after this position (from i
cθ to aligned position) and the required phase
voltage to track the reference phase torque in incoming phase will be more increased. Due to the limitation of
converter voltage in practice, torque phase error will be inevitable and may lead to noticeable torque ripple in
motor resultant torque. In other hand, reducing turn-on angle will cause to excessive phase current magnitude
due to the lower value of phase inductance at the beginning of incoming phase conduction period
and increasing the copper loss. Therefore, in this paper, the analytic equation is proposed for turn-on angle
control based on reducing the phase torque error in incoming phase at i
cθ . Considering equation (9), the
inductance derivative function respect to the rotor position and produced phase torque are obtained which
shown by (11) and (12):

In this equation, Tref, in is incoming reference phase torque which should be considered the half of
motor reference torque at i
cθ . By substituting the relation (13) in (10), the turn-on angle obtained analytically
respect to motor speed. As speed increases, the turn on angle value decreases toward the unaligned position
so that phase current can capable to follow the reference current in incoming phase. The authors proposed the
scheme in [16] to modify the conventional TSFs in order to enhance the effective controlled torque-speed
region. In the proposed algorithm, torque error in incoming torque control loop was added to the reference
torque of outgoing phase at the constant turn-on and turn-off angles. This may leads to increase the phase
current magnitude in outgoing phase where the phase inductance becomes maximum value respect to the
rotor position which cause to entering the tail current in outgoing phase to the negative torque region due to
the negative slope of inductance area. In this paper, turn-on angle control taking the analytic function
proposed by (10) into account to overcome this drawback. The effects of receding turn-on angle on phase
current can be represented as depicted in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Receding Turn-on Angle Effects on the Shape of Phase Currents
The modification scheme regulate reference torques based on the errors exist on incoming
and outgoing torque control loops [16]. Figure 5 shows the modification concept which will be used in this
paper to minimize torque ripple in motor resultant torque. In order to implement this concept to modify the
reference phase torques for any TSFs, Table (1) can be simply applied on the control system.
The control block diagram of switched reluctance motor drive using modified turn-on angle control
scheme is depicted in Figure 6. In this figure reference torque which can be either generated by speed control
loop or applied directly will be divided to the reference phase torques based on the considered TSFs. Turn-on
angle control will also modified by (10) and affect both on TSFs and power converter signal pulses. The
obtained i
cθ considered as 53 degree for outgoing phase and 38 degree for incoming phase based on values
from Figure 3.

In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method to reduce torque ripple and compare
with the previous works, a four-phase switched reluctance motor, with the specifications given in the
appendix is considered. The proposed method is simulated using MATLAB software. In the first case,
conventional TSFs are simulated considering fixed turn-on angle for constant load torque. Figures (7) to (10)
represent the results obtained for phase currents, flux linkages, torques and the motor resultant torque at 1200

It can be seen from the above figures, torque-ripple reduced significantly and the proposed scheme
can enhance the effectiveness of TSFs at higher speed compared with the conventional types. Figure (19)
shows the average motor torque versus rotor speed for some different considered conditions.

It can be achieved from Figure (19), applying only the modification rules can lead to increasing
outgoing phase current which can cause to entering the tail current to the negative torque region and reduce
the average torque dramatically. This is happened over the 1300 rpm where the slope of corresponding curve
reduced with greatest amount. Using the proposed scheme, this was prevented and overall performance of
control method for all TSFs is enhanced.
6. CONCLUSION
SRMs not only have a simple and reliable structure, but also have low cost production process.
However, inherent discrete torque production of SRM as well as 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, the turn-on control method along with some simple modification
rules is presented to enhance the effective controlled torque-speed region. The results showed that neither
individual turn-on angle control nor modification rules can reduce torque ripples when the operational speed
increased. Turn-on angle control strategy doesn't guarantee the zero torque error operation in incoming phase
torque control loop. Moreover, excessive receding turn-on angle can leads to increasing phase peak current
and copper loss. On the other hand, modification rules can increase the outgoing reference phase current
which cause to entering the tail current to the negative torque region and reduce the efficiency and average
torque dramatically. The proposed scheme showed that either turn-on angle control and modification rules
can enhance the maximum ripple-free operation speed of an SRM and can be applied for all types of TSFs.
