Soft Switched Multi-Output Flyback Converter with Voltage DoublerIJPEDS-IAES
A novel multi-output voltage doubler circuit with resonant switching
technique is proposed in this paper. The resonant topology in the primary
side of the flyback transformer switches the device either at zero voltage or
current thus optimizing the switching devices by mitigating the losses. The
voltage doubler circuit introduced in the load side increases the voltage by
twice the value thereby increasing the load power and density. The proposed
Multi-output Isolated Converter removes the need for mutiple SMPS units
for a particular application. This reduces the size and weight of the
converters considerably leading to a greater payload. This paper aims at
optimizing the proposed converter with some design changes. The results
obtained from the hardware prototype are given in a comprehensive manner
for a 3.5W converter operating at output voltages of 5V and 3.3V at 50 kHz
switching frequency. The converter output is regulated with the PI controller
designed with SG3523 IC. The effects of load and line regulation for ±20%
variations are analyzed in detail.

This thesis presents High frequency Soft Switching DC-DC boost Converter. The circuit consists of a general Boost Converter with an additional resonant circuit which has a switch, inductor, capacitor and a diode.In general Boost Converter circuits have snubber circuits where switching losses are dissipated in external passive resistors; which is known as hard switching. As the switching frequency of PWM converters is increased its switching losses and conduction losses also increases. This restricts the use of PWM technique. New Zero Voltage Transition-Zero Current Transition (ZVT-ZCT) PWM converter equipped with the snubber provides the most desirable features of both ZVT and ZCT converters presented previously. Moreover all semiconductors devices operate with soft switching and hence losses are reduced.

Design and Simulation of Low Pass Filter for Single phase full bridge Inverte...IJERA Editor
Sinusoidal pulse width modulation SPWM technique is widely preferred to other modulation techniques as the
Inverter output frequency obtained is equal to the required fundamental frequency. SPWM with unipolar voltage
switching is used as it results in cancellation of harmonic component at the switching frequencyin the output
voltage, also the sidebands of the switching frequency harmonics disappear and in addition to this, other
dominant harmonic at twice the switching frequency gets eliminated. Hence, due to these advantages unipolar
voltage switching with SPWMis used for Inverter switching. In this paper, an in-depth analysis of unipolar
voltage switching technique with SPWM as applied to a single-phase full bridge Inverter is described and
designing of an efficient, active low pass filter LPF is discussed for an particular cut-off frequency,푓푐 and
damping factor zeta, 휁 and the filter is placed at the output side of a single-phase full bridge Inverter and
therefore eliminating the harmonic component from the Inverter output voltage resulting in a pure sinusoidal ac
voltage waveform.

PWM control techniques for three phase three level inverter drivesTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper two very efficient pulse width modulation techniques were discussed named Sin pulse width modulation and space vector pulse width modulation. The basic structure of the three-level inverter neutral-point clamped is introduced and the basic idea about space vector pulse width modulation for three-level voltage source inverter has been discussed in detail. Nearest three vectors space vector pulse width modulation control algorithm is adopted as the control strategy for the three phase three level NPC inverter in order to compensate the neutral-point shifting. Mathematical formulation for calculating switching sequence has determined. Comparative analysis proving superiority of the space vector pulse width modulation technique over the conventional pulse width modulation, and the results of the simulations of inverter confirm the feasibility and advantage of the space vector pulse width modulation strategy over sin pulse width modulation in terms of good utilization of dc-bus voltage, low current ripple and reduced switching frequency. Space vector pulse width modulation provides advantages better fundamental output voltage and useful in improving harmonic performance and reducing total harmonic distortion.

Transformer less Boost Converter Topologies with Improved Voltage Gain Operat...IJMER
In this project, a new step up converter proposed in a recent work is analyzed, designed, simulated with MATLAB Simulink. Conventional dc–dc boost converters are unable to provide high step-up voltage gains due to the effect of power switches, rectifier diodes, and the equivalent series resistance of inductors and capacitors. This paper proposes transformer less dc–dc converters to achieve high step-up voltage gain without an extremely high duty ratio. In the proposed converters, two inductors with the same level of inductance are charged in parallel during the switch-on period and are discharged in series during the switch-off period. The structures of the proposed converters are very simple.

Solar energy the most efficient, eco-friendly and abundantly available energy source in the nature. It can be
converted into electrical energy in cost effective manner. In recent years, the interest in solar energy has risen
due to surging oil prices and environmental concern. In many remote or underdeveloped areas, direct access to
an electric grid is impossible and a photovoltaic inverter system would make life much simpler and more
convenient. With this in mind, it is aimed to design, build, and test a solar panel inverter. This inverter system
could be used as backup power during outages, battery charging, or for typical household applications. The main
components of this solar system are solar cell, dc to dc boost converters, and inverter. Sine wave push pull
inverter topology is used for inverter. In this topology only two MOSFETs are used and isolation requirement
between control circuit and power circuit is also less which helps to decrease the cost of solar inverter.

Abstract
When sunlight shines on a PV cell, the absorbed light produces electricity. Though PV technologies use both direct and dispersed
sunlight to create electricity, harnessing efficiency is 68% eventually against the claim of 85% by the various manufacturers
worldwide. Power Electronics Interface are incorporated with Photovoltaic (PV) System to intensify the efficiency of the PV
system and undoubtedly we have reached to the goalmouth. There are two stages where power electronics converter are used.
First DC-DC converter stage in which lower level PV voltage is boosted-up at the required higher level; and second DC-AC
inverter stage in which increased DC link voltage is efficiently converted into AC. Purpose of this paper is to elaborate the Full-
Bridge inverter used in PV System and switching schemes adopted for the operation and to realize the best switching scheme.
Simulation results are taken at various stages to visualize the effect of interface. For whole PV system simulation, PV module is

Cascaded multilevel configuration of the inverter has the advantage of its simplicity and modularity over the
configurations of the diode-clamped and flying capacitor multilevel inverters. This paper presents a threephase,
five-level and seven level cascaded multilevel voltage source inverter based active filter for power line
conditioning to improve power quality in the distribution network. The DSTATCOM helps to improve the
power factor and eliminate the Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) drawn from a Non-Liner Diode Rectifier
Load (NLDRL). The compensation process is based on concept of p-q theory. A CHB Inverter is considered for
shunt compensation of a 11 kV distribution system. Finally a level shifted PWM (LSPWM) and phase shifted
PWM (PSPWM) techniques are adopted to investigate the performance of CHB Inverter. The results are
obtained through Matlab/Simulink software package.
A single phase Z source inverter is developed for better voltage boosting and inversion ability suited for photovoltaic power generation systems. The operation of the Z source inverter is described with relevant equations. Simple boost scheme is used for switching actions of the inverter. The performance of the inverter used for photovoltaic applications can be checked with simulation and experimental results, which prove that it has single-stage buck and boost capability and improved reliability.
"Heart failure is a typical clinical accompanied by symptoms syndrome (e.g. shortness of breath, ankle swelling and fatigue) that lead to structural or functional abnormalities of the heart (e.g. high venous pressure, pulmonary edema and peripheral edema).
In recent years, the significant role of B-type natriuretic peptide has been revealed in the pathogenesis of heart disease and the use of the drug sacubitril/valsartan has started. It has a positive effect on the regulation of the level of B-type natriuretic peptide in the body. It is obviously seen from the the world literature that natriuretic peptides play an important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. For this reason, many studies suggest that the importance of natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure is recommended.
Due to this, we tried to investigate the effects of a comprehensive medication therapy with a combination of sacubitril/valsartan in the patients with chronic heart failure."

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Abstract: SPWM or sinusoidal pulse width modulation is widely used in power electronics to digitize the power so that a sequence of
voltage pulses can be generated by the on and off of the power switches. The pulse width modulation inverter has been the main choice
in power electronic for decades, because of its circuit simplicity and rugged control scheme SPWM switching technique is commonly
used in industrial applications SPWM techniques are characterized by constant amplitude pulses with different duty cycle for each
period. The width of this pulses are modulated to obtain inverter output voltage control and to reduce its harmonic content. Sinusoidal
pulse width modulation or SPWM is the mostly used method in motor control and inverter application. In this development a unipolar
and bipolar SPWM voltage modulation type is selected because this method offers the advantage of effectively doubling the switching
frequency of the inverter voltage, thus making the output filter smaller, cheaper and easier to implement. Conventionally, to generate
this signal, triangle wave as a carrier signal is compared with the sinusoidal wave, whose frequency is the desired frequency. In this
paper single-phase inverters and their operating principles are analyzed in detail. The concept of sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) for inverters is described with analyses extended to different kinds of SPWM strategies. Finally the simulation results for a
single-phase inverter (Bipolar) using the SPWM strategies described are presented [1],[2],[5].This project deals with implementing the
basic theory of a Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulated Inverter (SPWM) technique for Bipolar voltage switching , its Simulink modelling,
estimating various designing parameters. The project will be commenced by a basic understanding of the circuitry of the SPWM
Inverter, the components used in its design and the reason for choosing such components in this circuitry. After this, it will be
attempted to simulate a model circuit on any simulating software e.g. MATLAB and analyse the output waveforms and also varying the
modulation index (M) for both Simulink Model and Implemented Design of Bipolar voltage switching

1. Introduction
The dc-ac converter, also known as the inverter, converts dc
power to ac power at desired output voltage and frequency.
The dc power input to the inverter is obtained from an
existing power supply network or from a rotating alternator
through a rectifier or a battery, fuel cell, photovoltaic array
or magneto hydrodynamic generator. The filter capacitor
across the input terminals of the inverter provides a constant
dc link voltage. The inverter therefore is an adjustable-
frequency voltage source. The configuration of ac to dc
converter and dc to ac inverter is called a dc-link converter.
[2] Inverters can be broadly classified into two types, voltage
source and current source inverters. A voltage–fed inverter
(VFI) or more generally a voltage–source inverter (VSI) is
one in which the dc source has small or negligible
impedance. The voltage at the input terminals is constant. A
current–source inverter (CSI) is fed with adjustable current
from the dc source of high impedance that is from a constant
dc source [2], [1], [6].
A voltage source inverter employing thyristor as switches,
some type of forced commutation is required, while the
VSIs made up of using GTOs, power transistors, power
MOSFETs or IGBTs, self commutation with base or gate
drive signals for their controlled turn-on and turn-off. A
standard single-phase voltage or current source inverter can
be in the half-bridge or full-bridge configuration. The single-
phase units can be joined to have three-phase multiphase
topologies. Some industrial applications of inverters are for
adjustable-speed ac drives, induction heating, standby
aircraft power supplies, UPS (uninterruptible power
supplies) for computers, HVDC transmission lines, etc
[1],[8].
1.1 Inverters :
A device that converts DC power into AC power at desired
output voltage and frequency is called an Inverter. Phase
controlled converters when operated in the inverter mode are
called line commutated inverters. But line commutated
inverters require at the output terminals an existing AC
supply which is used for their commutation. This means that
line commutated inverters can’t function as isolated AC
voltage sources or as variable frequency generators with DC
power at the input. Therefore, voltage level, frequency and
waveform on the AC side of the line commutated inverters
can’t be changed. On the other hand, force commutated
inverters provide an independent AC output voltage of
adjustable voltage and adjustable frequency and have
therefore much wider application.
Inverters can be broadly classified into two types based on
their operation:

Voltage Source Inverters(VSI)
Current Source Inverters(CSI)
Voltage Source Inverters is one in which the DC source has
small or negligible impedance. In Other words VSI has stiff
DC voltage source at its input terminals. A current source
inverter is fed with adjustable current from a DC source of
high impedance, i.e. from a stiff DC current source. In a CSI
fed with stiff current source, output current waves are not
affected by the load. From view point of connections of
semiconductor devices, inverters are classified as under [1],
[2]
Bridge Inverters
Series Inverters
Parallel Inverter
Bridge Inverters are classified as Half bridge & Full bridge
Figure 1: Schematic of a Single Phase Full- Bridge Inverter
A single-phase inverter in the full bridge topology is as
shown in Fig. 1 which consists of four switching devices,
two of them on each leg. The full-bridge inverter can
produce an output power twice that of the half-bridge
inverter with the same input voltage. The S PWM switching
schemes are discussed in this section, which improve the
characteristics of the inverter. The objective is to add a zero
sequence voltage to the modulation signals in such a way to
ensure the clamping of the devices to either the positive or
negative dc rail; in the process of which the voltage gain is
improved, leading to an increased load fundamental voltage,
reduction in total current distortion and increased load power
factor. In Fig. 1, the top devices are assigned to be S11 and
S21 while the bottom devices as S12 and S22,
the voltage
equations for this converter are as given in the following
equations.[1],[6].
Vd (S11-S12) = Van + Vno= Vao …. (1)
2
Vd (S21-S22) = Vbn + Vno= Vbo ….. (2)
2
Vab = Van-Vbn … (3)
The voltages Van and Vbn are the output voltages from
phases A and B to an arbitrary point n, Vno is the neutral
voltage between point n and the mid-point of the DC source.
The switching function of the devices can be approximated
by the Fourier series to be equal to 1/2 * M.Where M is the
modulation signal which when compared with the triangular
waveform yields the switching pulses Thus from Equations1,
2, and 3 the expressions for the modulation signals are
obtained as
M 11 = 2(Van+Vno) .…. (4)
Vd
M 21 = 2(Van+Vno) ...... (5)
Vd
Equations 4 and 5 give the general expression for the
modulation signals for single-phase dc-ac converters. The
various types of modulation schemes presented in the
literature can be obtained from these equations using
appropriate definition for Van, Vbn & Vno[1]
2. SPWM Switching Techniques
PWM with Bipolar voltage switching
PWM with Unipolar voltage switching.
SPWM with Bipolar Switching:
The basic idea to produce PWM Bipolar voltage switching
signal is shown in Fig. 2. It comprises of a comparator used
to compare between the reference voltage waveform Vr with
the triangular carrier signal Vc and produces the bipolar
switching signal. If this scheme is applied to the full bridge
single phase inverter as shown in Fig., all the switch S11, S21,
S12 and S22 are turned on and off at the same time. The
output of leg A is equal and opposite to the output of leg B
[3]
The output voltage is determined by comparing the reference
signal, Vr and the triangular carrier signal, Vc and S12, S22
are turned on or turned off at the same time. The output of
leg A is equal and opposite to the output of leg B. The output
voltage is determined by comparing the control signal, Vr
and the triangular signal, Vc as shown in Fig. 5 to get the
switching pulses for the devices, and the switching pattern
and output waveform is as follows.[2]

2.2 SPWM with Unipolar Switching:
In this scheme, the triangular carrier waveform is
compared with two reference signals which are positive
and negative signal. The basic idea to produce SPWM
with unipolar voltage switching is shown in Fig. 4. The
different between the Bipolar SPWM generators is that the
generator uses another comparator to compare between
the inverse reference waveform−Vr. The process of
comparing these two signals to produce the unipolar
voltage switching signal. The switching pattern and output
waveform is as follows in Fig. 5. In Unipolar voltage
switching the output voltage switches between 0 and Vdc,
or switching event is halved in the unipolar case from
2Vdc to Vdc. The effective switching frequency is seen by
the load is doubled and the voltage pulse amplitude is
halved. Due to this, the harmonic content of the output
voltage waveform is reduced compared to bipolar
switching. In Unipolar voltage switching scheme also,
the amplitude of the significant harmonics and its
sidebands is much lower for all modulation indexes thus
making filtering easier, and with its size being
significantly smaller between 0 and −Vdc. This is in
contrast to the bipolar switching strategy in which the
output swings between Vdc and −Vdc. As a result, the
change in output voltage at each [2], [3], [4].
