The pulse width modulated voltage source inverters (PWM-VSI) dominate in the modern industrial environment. The conventional PWM methods are designed to have higher fundamental voltage, easy filtering and reduced total harmonic distortion (THD). There are number of clustered harmonics around the multiples of switching frequency in the output of conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverters. This is due to their fixed switching frequency while the variable switching frequency makes the filtering very complex. Random carrier PWM (RCPWM) methods are the host of PWM methods, which use randomized carrier frequency and result in a harmonic profile with well distributed harmonic power (no harmonic possesses significant magnitude and hence no filtering is required). This paper proposes a chaos-based PWM (CPWM) strategy, which utilizes a chaotically changing switching frequency to spread the harmonics continuously to a wideband and to reduce the peak harmonics to a great extent. This can be an effective way to suppress the current harmonics and torque ripple in induction motor drives. The proposed CPWM scheme is simulated using MATLAB / SIMULINK software and implemented in three phase voltage source inverter (VSI) using field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Controlling power flow in modern power systems
can be made more flexible by the use of recent developments
in power electronic and computing control technology. The
Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a Flexible AC
transmission system (FACTS) device that can control all the
three system variables namely line reactance, magnitude and
phase angle difference of voltage across the line. The UPFC
provides a promising means to control power flow in modern

program. This paper presents a reliable method to meet the
requirements by developing a Newton-Raphson based load
flow calculation through which control settings of UPFC can
be determined for the pre-specified power flow between the
lines. The proposed method keeps Newton-Raphson Load Flow

Jacobian matrix). A MATLAB program has been developed to
calculate the control settings of UPFC and the power flow
between the lines after the load flow is converged. Case studies
have been performed on IEEE 5-bus system and 14-bus system

This document analyzes and compares different artificial neural network (ANN) training algorithms for detecting the magnetization level in the magnetic core of a welding transformer. Three algorithms are evaluated: Resilient Backpropagation, Levenberg-Marquardt, and Gradient Descent. Resilient Backpropagation and Levenberg-Marquardt produced similar results in terms of root mean square error but Resilient Backpropagation is preferred due to its faster computational time and simpler algorithm. Gradient Descent was found not suitable for this application. The document concludes that Resilient Backpropagation is the best algorithm for detecting the magnetization level based on the evaluation factors.

Prioritize distribution of the load shedding at load bus positions based on the voltage electrical distance between the outage generator and the loads. The nearer the load bus from the outage generator is, the sooner the load bus will shed and vice versa.

A Comparative Modeling and Analysis of Voltage Variation by Using SpectrogramTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, the power quality (PQ) disturbance which is the voltage variations consist of
voltage swell, sag and interruption are model and analyze. Different types of voltage variations PQ
disturbances models are developed and created by using MATLAB/Simulink as well as mathematical
models. The mathematical and Simulink model are used to compare in terms of time-frequency

Comparative Analysis of PWM Techniques for Three Level Diode Clamped Voltage ...IAES-IJPEDS
Multilevel inverters are increasingly being used in high-power medium voltage industrial drive applications due to their superior performance compared to conventional two-level inverters. Thre are a number of Pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques applied in recent years. The most widely applied PWM techniques are Sine Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM). SPWM is the most simple modulation technique that can realize easily in analog circuit. However, it has some drawbacks such as higher total harmonic distortion (THD), lower effective DC utilization and lower switching frequency. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is widely used because of their easier digital realization and better DC bus utilization and lower THD. The complexity is due to the difficulty in determining the reference vector location, on times calculation, and switching states selection. This paper presents a simple SVPWM algorithm for diode clamped three level inverters based on standard two-level SVPWM which can easily determine the location of reference vector, calculate the on-times, the selection of switching states. Three level diode clamped inverter (3LDCI) using space vector modulation technique has been modeled and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and Origin 6.1 with a passive R-L load that can be extended to any level. Simulation results are presented to verify the proposed SVPWM control in terms of THD. The results arecompared with conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) where SVPWM shows better performance than SPWM in terms of THD.
In the era of technological advancement, use of computer technology has become inevitable. Hence it has become the need of the hour to integrate software methods in engineering curriculum as a part to boost pedagogy techniques. Simulations software is a great help to graduates of disciplines such as electrical engineering. Since electrical engineering deals with high voltages and heavy instruments, extra care must be taken while operating with them. The viable solution would be to have appropriate control. The appropriate control could be well designed if engineers haveknowledge of kind of waveforms associated with the system. Though these waveforms can be plotted manually, but it consumes a lot of time. Hence aid of simulation helps to understand steady state of system and resulting in better performance. In this paper computer, aided teaching of transformer is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink. The test carried out on a transformer includes open circuit test and short circuit respectively. The respective parameters of the transformer are then calculated using the values obtained from the open circuit and short circuit test respectively using Simulink.

This document summarizes research comparing two techniques for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems: selected mapping (SLM) and nonlinear companding transform (NCT). SLM uses Hadamard transform and phase sequences to generate multiple candidate signals and select the one with the lowest PAPR for transmission. NCT transforms the signal statistics to a desirable probability density function defined by a piecewise linear function. Simulation results showed that both techniques significantly reduced PAPR compared to conventional OFDM, with NCT achieving a 4.31 dB reduction for a 128-subcarrier system. The document concludes that NCT is an effective and flexible method for
This document discusses two techniques for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems: selected mapping (SLM) and nonlinear companding transform (NCT). SLM is analyzed where the input data is multiplied by a Hadamard matrix and phase sequences before taking the inverse fast Fourier transform to generate multiple candidate signals, and the one with the lowest PAPR is selected for transmission. NCT works by compressing peak signals and expanding low signals to modify the statistical characteristics and reduce PAPR. The document evaluates the performance of these two techniques and concludes they can both effectively reduce PAPR compared to conventional OFDM.

This document presents a method for detecting and locating faults in underground power cables using wavelet transforms. A 400kV, 50km underground cable system is modeled in MATLAB Simulink. Various single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase faults are simulated at distances of 25km and 50km from the measurement point. Voltage and current signals are analyzed using continuous wavelet transforms to detect and locate faults. Simulation results show the method can accurately estimate fault locations, with errors generally under 7%. The method is capable of determining fault type and location for both transmission and distribution cables.
The document describes two improved direct torque control (DTC) methods for a three-level inverter-fed induction motor drive. Method I selects voltage vectors based on torque and flux demands while inserting intermediate vectors to ensure neutral point balance and smooth switching. Method II uses discrete space vector modulation to synthesize vectors, decoupling vector selection from circuit limitations and solving neutral point and switching issues. Both methods were validated through MATLAB simulation and experiments to enhance DTC performance for three-level inverters while considering their unique challenges.
A Novel Optimal PI Parameter Tuning Strategy to Improve Constant Switching Pe...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents a novel method of optimal Propotional-Intergral (PI)
controller’s parameter tuning strategy in-order to improve the constant
switching performance of 3-phase direct torque control (DTC) shceme. The
DTC sheme is acknowledged to provide fast decoupled control over the
torque output and stator flux via a simple control structure. However, DTC
sheme has two major downsides, which are the inconsistent inverter
switching frequency and high torque output ripple. The main reason that
contributes to these tribulations is the usage of hysteresis comparators in
order to control the output torque. The realization of PI based controller
method as replacement of hyterisis controller in DTC system able to provide
significant solutions to over come the fall back while retaining the simple
control structure of conventional DTC. The combination usage of higher
sampling controller DS1004 and also 3-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel
inverters (CHMI) in this system can further minimize the output torque ripple
by providing higher resolution with lower digital error and greater number of
vectors. This paper presents detail explanation and calculation of optimal PI
parameter tuning strategy consecutively to enhance the performance of 3-
level DTC system. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method
experimentation, the proposed method is compared with convention DTC
system via simulation and experiment results.

This paper is an extension of our previous work, which discussed the
difficulty in implementing different methods of resistance emulation
techniques on the hardware due to its control constant estimation delay. In
order to get rid of the delay this paper attempts to include the meta-heuristic
methods for the control constants of the controller. To achieve the minimum
Total Harmonic Disturbance (THD) in the AC side of the converter modern
meta-heuristic methods are compared with the traditional methods. The
convergence parameters, which are primary for the earlier estimation of the
control constants, are compared with the measured parameters, tabulated and
tradeoff inference is done among the methods. This kind of implementation
does not need the mathematical model of the system under study for finding
the control constants. The parameters considered for estimation are
population size, maximum number of epochs, and global best solution of the
control constants, best THD value and execution time. MatlabTM /Simulink
based simulation is optimized with the M-file based optimization techniques
like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Cuckoo

and Bat Algorithm.

1) The document presents a new control scheme for D-STATCOM that uses sinusoidal PWM signals based only on voltage measurements to regulate voltage in distribution systems.
2) Simulations using MATLAB/PLECS show the control scheme maintains constant voltage under disturbances by exchanging reactive power with the system through the D-STATCOM.
3) Results demonstrate the control scheme effectively regulates voltage, compensates for harmonics, and corrects power factor during system faults and load variations.
Static VAR Compensators (SVCs) is a Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) device that can control the power flow in transmission lines by injecting capacitive or inductive current components at the midpoint of interconnection line or in load areas. This device is capable of minimizing the overall system losses and concurrently improves the voltage stability. A line index, namely SVSI becomes indicator for the placement of SVC and the parameters of SVCs are tuned by using the multi-objective evolutionary programming technique, effectively able to control the power. The algorithm was tested on IEEE-30 Bus Reliability Test System (RTS). Comparative studies were conducted based on the performance of SVC in terms of their location and sizing for installations in power system.
Analysis and Implementation of Artificial Neural Network Techniques for Power...ijtsrd
This project shows how to use a back propagation BP control method to execute a three stage delivery static compensator DSTATCOM for its capabilities such as load balancing and zero voltage management of reactive power compensation under non linear loads. In this case, we utilize a BP based control method to determine the crucial dynamic weight. Furthermore, the BP based control method is often used to estimate the receptive power parts of the load streams required for estimating the reference source streams. The new topic of research in the field of power engineering is the regulation of power efficiency devices using neural networks. The output of the balancing instruments is defined by the extraction of the harmonic components. DSTATCOM and UPFC are used as balancing devices in this case. A DSTATCOM model is created with the help of a computerized signal processor, and its implementation is tailored to specific working circumstances. With the suggested control method, the execution of DSTATCOM is shown to be appropriate for a variety of workloads. The BP based control method is used to calculate the basic weighted value of the loads active and reactive power components. The sample trained back propagation method will identify the power quality signal problem in real time. This algorithms main characteristics include continuity, differentiability, and non decreasing momotomy. The UPFC procedure is similar to that of DSTATCOM, with the exception that the device is not turned off under adverse conditions. The simulation model is created using ANFIS, and its output is investigated under various operating circumstances. For various kinds of loads, the ANFIS output is determined to be acceptable using the suggested control method. The proposed technique must be validated using MATLAB Simulink findings.

This paper investigates the performance of a Model reference adaptive system (MRAS) based cost-effective drive system of an induction motor (IM) for low-cost applications - high performance industrial drive systems. In this paper, the MRAS is used as a speed estimator and the motor is fed from a four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverter instead of a conventional six- switch three-phase (SSTP) inverter. This configuration reduces the cost of the inverter, the switching losses, and the complexity of the control algorithms and interface circuits, the proposed control approach reduces the computation for real-time implementation. The robustness of the proposed MRAS-based FSTP inverter fed IM drive is verified by Experimental results at different operating conditions using digital signal processor (DSP1103) for a 1.1 Kw motor. A performance comparison of the proposed FSTP inverter fed IM drive with a conventional SSTP inverter system is also made in terms of speed response and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator current. The proposed FSTP inverter fed IM drive is found quite acceptable considering its performance, cost reduction and other advantages features.

The appropriate control could be well designed if engineers haveknowledge of kind of waveforms associated with the system. Though these waveforms can be plotted manually, but it consumes a lot of time. Hence aid of simulation helps to understand steady state of system and resulting in better performance. In this paper computer, aided teaching of transformer is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink. The test carried out on a transformer includes open circuit test and short circuit respectively. The respective parameters of the transformer are then calculated using the values obtained from the open circuit and short circuit test respectively using Simulink.

This document summarizes research comparing two techniques for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems: selected mapping (SLM) and nonlinear companding transform (NCT). SLM uses Hadamard transform and phase sequences to generate multiple candidate signals and select the one with the lowest PAPR for transmission. NCT transforms the signal statistics to a desirable probability density function defined by a piecewise linear function. Simulation results showed that both techniques significantly reduced PAPR compared to conventional OFDM, with NCT achieving a 4.31 dB reduction for a 128-subcarrier system. The document concludes that NCT is an effective and flexible method for
This document discusses two techniques for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems: selected mapping (SLM) and nonlinear companding transform (NCT). SLM is analyzed where the input data is multiplied by a Hadamard matrix and phase sequences before taking the inverse fast Fourier transform to generate multiple candidate signals, and the one with the lowest PAPR is selected for transmission. NCT works by compressing peak signals and expanding low signals to modify the statistical characteristics and reduce PAPR. The document evaluates the performance of these two techniques and concludes they can both effectively reduce PAPR compared to conventional OFDM.

This document presents a method for detecting and locating faults in underground power cables using wavelet transforms. A 400kV, 50km underground cable system is modeled in MATLAB Simulink. Various single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase faults are simulated at distances of 25km and 50km from the measurement point. Voltage and current signals are analyzed using continuous wavelet transforms to detect and locate faults. Simulation results show the method can accurately estimate fault locations, with errors generally under 7%. The method is capable of determining fault type and location for both transmission and distribution cables.
The document describes two improved direct torque control (DTC) methods for a three-level inverter-fed induction motor drive. Method I selects voltage vectors based on torque and flux demands while inserting intermediate vectors to ensure neutral point balance and smooth switching. Method II uses discrete space vector modulation to synthesize vectors, decoupling vector selection from circuit limitations and solving neutral point and switching issues. Both methods were validated through MATLAB simulation and experiments to enhance DTC performance for three-level inverters while considering their unique challenges.
A Novel Optimal PI Parameter Tuning Strategy to Improve Constant Switching Pe...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents a novel method of optimal Propotional-Intergral (PI)
controller’s parameter tuning strategy in-order to improve the constant
switching performance of 3-phase direct torque control (DTC) shceme. The
DTC sheme is acknowledged to provide fast decoupled control over the
torque output and stator flux via a simple control structure. However, DTC
sheme has two major downsides, which are the inconsistent inverter
switching frequency and high torque output ripple. The main reason that
contributes to these tribulations is the usage of hysteresis comparators in
order to control the output torque. The realization of PI based controller
method as replacement of hyterisis controller in DTC system able to provide
significant solutions to over come the fall back while retaining the simple
control structure of conventional DTC. The combination usage of higher
sampling controller DS1004 and also 3-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel
inverters (CHMI) in this system can further minimize the output torque ripple
by providing higher resolution with lower digital error and greater number of
vectors. This paper presents detail explanation and calculation of optimal PI
parameter tuning strategy consecutively to enhance the performance of 3-
level DTC system. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method
experimentation, the proposed method is compared with convention DTC
system via simulation and experiment results.

This paper is an extension of our previous work, which discussed the

Total Harmonic Disturbance (THD) in the AC side of the converter modern
meta-heuristic methods are compared with the traditional methods. The
convergence parameters, which are primary for the earlier estimation of the
control constants, are compared with the measured parameters, tabulated and
tradeoff inference is done among the methods. This kind of implementation
does not need the mathematical model of the system under study for finding
the control constants. The parameters considered for estimation are
population size, maximum number of epochs, and global best solution of the
control constants, best THD value and execution time. MatlabTM /Simulink

Static VAR Compensators (SVCs) is a Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) device that can control the power flow in transmission lines by injecting capacitive or inductive current components at the midpoint of interconnection line or in load areas. This device is capable of minimizing the overall system losses and concurrently improves the voltage stability. A line index, namely SVSI becomes indicator for the placement of SVC and the parameters of SVCs are tuned by using the multi-objective evolutionary programming technique, effectively able to control the power. The algorithm was tested on IEEE-30 Bus Reliability Test System (RTS).

Analysis and Implementation of Artificial Neural Network Techniques for Power...ijtsrd
This project shows how to use a back propagation BP control method to execute a three stage delivery static compensator DSTATCOM for its capabilities such as load balancing and zero voltage management of reactive power compensation under non linear loads. In this case, we utilize a BP based control method to determine the crucial dynamic weight. Furthermore, the BP based control method is often used to estimate the receptive power parts of the load streams required for estimating the reference source streams. The new topic of research in the field of power engineering is the regulation of power efficiency devices using neural networks. The output of the balancing instruments is defined by the extraction of the harmonic components. DSTATCOM and UPFC are used as balancing devices in this case. A DSTATCOM model is created with the help of a computerized signal processor, and its implementation is tailored to specific working circumstances. With the suggested control method, the execution of DSTATCOM is shown to be appropriate for a variety of workloads. The BP based control method is used to calculate the basic weighted value of the loads active and reactive power components. The sample trained back propagation method will identify the power quality signal problem in real time. This algorithms main characteristics include continuity, differentiability, and non decreasing momotomy. The UPFC procedure is similar to that of DSTATCOM, with the exception that the device is not turned off under adverse conditions. The simulation model is created using ANFIS, and its output is investigated under various operating circumstances. For various kinds of loads, the ANFIS output is determined to be acceptable using the suggested control method. The proposed technique must be validated using MATLAB Simulink findings.

Total Harmonic Distortion Analysis of a Four Switch 3-Phase Inverter Fed Spee...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper investigates the performance of a Model reference adaptive system (MRAS) based cost-effective drive system of an induction motor (IM) for low-cost applications - high performance industrial drive systems. In this paper, the MRAS is used as a speed estimator and the motor is fed from a four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverter instead of a conventional six- switch three-phase (SSTP) inverter. This configuration reduces the cost of the inverter, the switching losses, and the complexity of the control algorithms and interface circuits, the proposed control approach reduces the computation for real-time implementation. The robustness of the proposed MRAS-based FSTP inverter fed IM drive is verified by Experimental results at different operating conditions using digital signal processor (DSP1103) for a 1.1 Kw motor. A performance comparison of the proposed FSTP inverter fed IM drive with a conventional SSTP inverter system is also made in terms of speed response and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator current. The proposed FSTP inverter fed IM drive is found quite acceptable considering its performance, cost reduction and other advantages features.
In this paper a novel control technique for switching-frequency-modulated switch-mode power converters (SMPC) operating in discontinuous conduction mode is proposed. The use of the technique leads to significant reduction in peak-to-peak output voltage and peak currents increased due to straightforward application of switching frequency modulation (SFM). The technique is based on hybrid modulation scheme in which both switching frequency and duty ratio are modulated simultaneously by the same modulation signal. Theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the proposed technique are presented in details. Both computer simulations and experiments show that switching-frequency-modulated SMPC with the proposed control technique in comparison to SMPC without SFM has appreaciably lower conducted electromagnetic emissions, at the cost of slightly increased peak-to-peak output voltage and peak currents.
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.

We use BP based control algorithm to obtain the critical dynamic weight estimate here. And the BP based control algorithm is often used for estimating the receptive power portions of the load streams necessary for estimating the reference source streams. Regulation of power efficiency devices through neural networks is the new area of study in the field of power engineering. The extraction of the harmonic components defines the output of the balancing instruments. Here we use DSTATCOM and UPFC as balancing instruments.

The execution of DSTATCOM is found to be suitable for various kinds of burdens with the proposed control algorithm. The BP based control algorithm is used to derive the fundamental weighted value of the active and reactive power components of the load present. Back propagation algorithm trained by the sample will detect the power quality signal issue in real time. Continuity, differentiability, non decreasing momotomy are the key features of this algorithm. The process of UPFC is close to that of DSTATCOM, although the only difference is that it does not have the device shut down in worse circumstances.

WAMS-Based SSR Damping Controller Design for FACTS Devices and Investigating ...IJPEDS-IAES
Recent technological progresses in the wide-area measurement systems
(WAMS) are realizing the centralized controls as a breakthrough for
improving the power systems stability. The most challenging deficiency
against WAMS technology is related to communication delays. If this latency
is neglected, it can deteriorate the damping performance of closed loop
control or even degrade the system stability. This paper investigates a
conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) for a static
synchronous series compensator (SSSC) to damp out the Sub-Synchronous

delay in remote feedback signal. A new optimization algorithm called
teaching-learning-based- optimization (TLBO) algorithm has been
implemented to normalize and optimize the parameters of the global SSR
damping controller. The IEEE Second Benchmark Model is considered as the
system under study and all simulations are carried out in
MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
Enhancement of Power System Dynamics Using a Novel Series Compensation SchemeIJMER
Phase imbalanced capacitive compensation is a “hybrid” series compensation scheme, where the
series capacitive compensation in one phase is created using a single-phase TCSC in series with a fixed capacitor
(Cc), and the other two phases are compensated by fixed series capacitors (C). The TCSC control is initially set
such that its equivalent compensations at the power frequency combined with the fixed capacitor yield a
resultant compensation equal to the other two phases. Thus, the phase balance is maintained at the power
frequency while at any other frequency, a phase imbalance is created. The effectiveness of the scheme in damping
power system oscillations for various network conditions, namely different system faults and tie-line power flows is
evaluated using the MATLAB/SIMULINK Software

This document analyzes the impact of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) on distance protection relays for transmission lines. It presents a simulation of a 400kV, 300km transmission line with a 100MVA STATCOM at the midpoint and distance relays at each end. The simulation shows that the STATCOM affects the impedance seen by the relays during faults, as it injects current and alters line parameters. Traditional relay settings based solely on line impedance may not operate correctly with a STATCOM present. The document discusses modeling of the transmission line, STATCOM, and distance relays in MATLAB/Simulink to study their performance under normal and fault conditions with the STATCOM.

This document summarizes a research paper on using a dual active power filter with an LCL resonance grid-connected voltage-source converter using grid-current feedback methodology. Nonlinear loads cause power quality issues like harmonics that can damage equipment and disrupt systems. Traditional series and shunt filters have limitations. The paper proposes using a dual active power filter with voltage-source converters to mitigate harmonics. It models the system in MATLAB and analyzes the total harmonic distortion with this approach.
This paper proposes a hybrid series capacitive compensation scheme using a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) to damp power system oscillations. The scheme uses a single-phase TCSC in one transmission line phase along with fixed capacitors in the other two phases. This creates a phase imbalance that can dampen both power swings and sub-synchronous resonance oscillations. MATLAB simulations show the scheme effectively dampens generator load angle oscillations compared to a fixed compensation scheme following a fault. The hybrid scheme has potential for industrial application as it provides damping benefits while reducing costs versus a full three-phase TCSC installation.

Simulation results comparing the proposed RCGA approach to conventional tuning are presented to demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness in damping power system oscillations.
A robust dlqg controller for damping of sub synchronous oscillations in a ser...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper investigates the use of Discrete Linear Quadratic Gaussian (DLQG) Compensator to damp sub synchronous oscillations in a Thyrisor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) compensated power system. The study is conducted on IEEE First Benchmark Model (FBM) in which, TCSC is modelled as a discrete linear time-invariant modular unit in the synchronously rotating DQ reference frame. This modular TCSC is then integrated with the Linear Time Invariant (LTI) model of the rest of the system. The design of DLQG includes the design of a Kalman filter for full state estimation and a full state feedback for control. Since the order of the controller is as large as the order of the system considered here(27 states), the practical implementation of the controller is difficult. Hence by using Hankels norm approximation technique, the order of the controller is reduced from 27 to 15 without losing the significant system dynamics. The eigen analysis of the system shows that the use of DLQG can damp torsional oscillations as well as the swing mode oscillations simultaneously, which is practically difficult for a conventional sub-synchronous damping controller. The performance of the system with DLQG is appreciable for all operating conditions and it shows the robustness of the controller.

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.

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.

In recent years, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have been dramatically

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

effective dc bus utilization etc. but also take cares of secondary issues like electromagnetic interference
reduction, switching loss, better spreading of harmonic power over the spectrum etc [1]-[8]. Although the
basic inverter is simple, the mode of switching is challenging in controlling them towards improving the
performance indices.
From the literature survey, it is understood that enormous amount of effort has been put in
improving the VSI’s performance in terms of fundamental fortification, THD minimization, harmonics
elimination etc. On the other side issues like electromagnetic interference (EMI), harmonic distribution etc.
need further investigation and remedies. The random pulse width modulation (RPWM) techniques are
becoming popular and well accepted in industrial motor drives and electric vehicles. The RPWM techniques
effectively reduce the acoustic noise, radio interference and mechanical vibration caused by harmonics with
low switching frequency [9]. A new random position space vector PWM (RPSVPWM) scheme with C167
microcontroller to reduce audible switching noise has been presented [10]. As reported in [11], the power
spectra of a randomized pulse position PWM (RPP-PWM) can be predicted and optimized by suitably
positioning the switching pulse. A hybrid RPWM scheme which generates the random pulse position PWM
signals with a randomized frequency triangular carrier for improving the harmonic spectra spreading effect
has been reported [12]. A randomization technique for conducted EMI reduction in flyback converter has
been proposed [13]. Pseudo-random sequence generator (PRSG) is used to provide automatic dynamic
dithering for removing undesired idle tones in the output of the sigma delta modulator (SDM). Performance
enhancement of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) has been revealed through chaotic sequence [14]. Numerical
examples indicating the performance comparison of the EA using random and chaotic generators has been
presented. The chaos time series analysis has been involved to capture characteristics of complicated load
behavior and developed a new short term power load forecasting model based on chaos theory [15]. The
random PWM using random carrier and random position has been discussed [16]-[18].
The existing RPWM methods can improve the harmonic spreading ability of the VSI undoubtedly
while their performance is not appreciable. Hence it is understood that the randomness created by the existing
random carrier PWM and random position PWM is not efficient. Further improving the spreading effect, the
randomness can be generated through triumph chaotic sequences. The proposed chaos-based PWM (CPWM)
strategy, which utilizes a chaotically changing switching frequency to spread the harmonics continuously and
performs suitably for ac drives. The proposed CPWM scheme is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK
software and implemented in the designed three phase VSI through a SPARTAN-6 FPGA (XC6SLX45) kit.
1.1. Chaotic Sequence and Randomness
Chaos, apparently disordered behavior which is none the less deterministic, is a universal
phenomenon which occurs in many systems in all areas of science and engineering. For it to take place the
equations describing the situation must be nonlinear and, therefore they are rarely solvable in closed form.
Chaos is bounded, noise-like oscillation with an infinite period, found in nonlinear deterministic systems. It is
characterized by extreme sensitivity to initial conditions that is an infinitesimal perturbation to the initial
conditions can give rise to macroscopically diverging solutions. The behavior of a chaotic system is a
collection of many orderly behaviors, none of which dominates under ordinary circumstances. Chaotic
systems are more flexible than non-chaotic ones since the attractor spans a large volume of the state space
and with proper control, one can rapidly switch among many different behaviors. This gives a clue to
improving the response as well as the domain of operation in systems that exhibit chaos for some parameter
values.
Chaos theory is a field of study in mathematics, with applications in several disciplines including
meteorology, sociology, physics, engineering, economics, biology, and philosophy. Chaotic sequences have
good correlation properties and they can be used as address sequences in Spread Spectrum Communication.
Chaotic functions are highly sensitive to initial condition and exhibit non-linear behavior. In Chaotic spread
spectrum communication systems, different user may be assigned different sequences generated with
different initial conditions.
Methods to implement the idea of chaos in the field of power electronic circuits and systems have
been detailed [19]-[21]. Bifurcation diagram is the most powerful tool to investigate the chaos and
bifurcation behavior. In a bifurcation diagram, a periodic steady state of the system is represented as a single
point or several points equal to the periodicity of the system for a fixed parameter. For chaos, numerous
points are plotted in the diagram because chaos means period infinity and the points never fall at the same
position. Therefore, the change of behavior of a system is clearly shown as a parameter is varied. So we can
utilize the bifurcation diagram to visualize the route to chaos.
One issue with random or chaotic operation is that the maximal time excursions of waveforms of the
system’s state variables increase. Thus, random and chaotic operation may have superior spectral (frequency

domain) but inferior ripple (time domain) performance with respect to periodic operation of power electronic
converters. A common and simple chaotic function, the logistic equation is:
n + 1 n nX = X (1- X ) (1)
The properties of the logistic function are well known, but we briefly discuss them here. For values
of λ in (0, 3), Equation (1) will converge to some value x. For λ between three and about 3.56 the solution to
(1) bifurcates into two, then four, then eight (and so on) periodic solutions. For λ between 3.56 and four the
solutions to (1) become fully chaotic neither convergent nor periodic, but variable with no discernible
pattern. As λ approaches four, the variation in solutions to (1) appears increasingly random.
Thus chaotic sequences are highly unpredictable random functions, which can help in generating
random numbers. These numbers can pave a way to generate random frequency carriers for PWM schemes.
This can be explained with the help of Figure 1. The random signal ns(t) varies between the upper and the
lower boundaries. Its samples are indicated at three points A, B and C. These values are taken as guidelines
of the carrier triangular waves generated. The sampling A is a negative value, B is a zero and C is a positive
number. Their respective frequencies are low, medium and high. More number of samples needs to be
considered while used in a PWM technique.
Figure 1. Random signal, ns(t) guided generation of triangular wave carrier
The basic tool available for quantifying the merit of any PWM technique in its harmonic power
spreading effect is harmonic spreading factor (HSF).

(3)
The HSF quantifies the spread spectra effect of the random PWM scheme and it should be small. For ideally
flat spectra of white noise, the HSF would be zero.
2. PROPOSED METHOD
The basic idea of the proposed CPWM is in tow fold. First a chaotically frequency modulated-
fixed magnitude triangular carrier (CFMFMTC) is generated. Then the CFMFMTC is compared with the
traditional sinusoidal reference for pulse generation. The complete scheme is described in the Figure 2. The
chaotic sequence is generated and passed to the triangular oscillator. The triangular oscillator generates
CFMFMTC. The modulation index corrected three phase sinusoidal references are compared with triangular
waves. The pulses obtained and their inverted forms are fed to the VSI after driving unit. The sequence of

frequency (fs) and the residual dominant harmonics occur at multiples of switching frequency are
considerably reduced at the switching frequency and odd multiples of it. In general, the 1-10 kHz range is the
region of the greatest annoyance for human listeners. Unfortunately, this region may coincide with the
switching frequency of the power converters. Hence it is important that the acoustic noise with a frequency
below 10 kHz should be reduced. Their harmonic spectrum is shaped a half circle appear around fs and peak
cluster appears at 2fs and its multiples.

Table 1 and 2 provide the comprehensive details of results obtained from both SPWM and CPWM.
The value of the fundamental component (V01), THD and HSF of the output voltage are listed at different
modulation index values (Ma). For the entire working range CPWM offers lesser HSF and THD, and higher
V01. At Ma=0.2 about 50% reduction at HSF is obtained. The THD reduction is marginal while the
fundamental enhancement is noticeable. At higher modulation indices the improvement gained in HSF is
getting reduced.

3.1. HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION
The designed CPWM logic is incorporated as an architecture using the VHDL language. Modelsim
9.3f is employed as a tool for performing functional simulation while Xilinx ISE 12.1 is the synthesize tool
for the Register Transfer Level (RTL) level verification and implementation. The functional verified code of
the architecture is downloaded to the SPARTAN-6 FPGA (XC6SLX45) device. The flowchart illustrated in
Figure 12 represents the responsibilities of Modelsim and Xilinx. The code algorithm follows the conceptual
diagram presented in Figure 12.

4. CONCLUSION
Distribution of harmonic power becomes major topic of interest in PWM-VSI drives. Random pulse
width modulation techniques aim in reducing the HSF. HSF is the indicator for harmonic power spreading
ability of a PWM technique. Randomness added into the PWM waveform can cause the harmonic power to
spread over the harmonic spectrum so that no harmonic component has a significant magnitude. The
proposed chaos based PWM confirms that the randomization of carrier frequency offers advantageous
features such as reduced total harmonic distortion, EMI emission from converter equipment, acoustic and
vibration effects and improved harmonic power spectrum in electronic drive systems. For the entire working
range CPWM offers lesser HSF and THD, and higher V01. At Ma=0.2 about 50% reduction at HSF is
obtained. At higher modulation indices the improvement gained in HSF is getting reduced.
