DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BI - DIRECTIONAL ISOLATED FULL BRIDGE CONVERTEREditor IJMTER
In the renewable energy systems, the exchange of power from the source to the load and
vice-versa have conventionally been implemented with two uni-directional converters; each
processing the power in one direction. To improve the energy quality in such systems, bidirectional
DC-DC converters are used to charge/discharge the energy storage systems. This paper proposes the
bidirectional DC-DC converter which employs the two full single phase bridge converter
configuration on the both sides of the isolating transformer. The high side converter is controlled as
step down and the low side converter is controlled as step up. At a given instant of time, only one
converter is controlled and other acts as diode bridge converter. The proposed system is
characterized by good dynamic properties and high efficiency because of low switching losses.
Using the same power components for achieving bidirectional flow of power in the symmetrical
circuit topology provides a simple, efficient and galvanic ally isolated that is especially attractive for
use in battery charging/discharging circuits.High frequency isolation transformer plays an important
role in achieving galvanic isolation and also for reducing the system size, weight and cost. Power
MOSFET switches, provided with snubber circuit and PI filter at the output side are employed to

PROTOTYPE MODEL OF ELECTRICAL LOCOMOTIVEIRJET Journal
The document describes a prototype model of an electrical locomotive created by students. The locomotive is powered by a 12V DC series motor. Electricity is supplied to the motor via pantographs connected to overhead lines. The locomotive also includes relays, rectifiers, and signal controllers. The rectifier converts alternating current to direct current for the motor. Relays and signals work together to track the locomotive's location. The goal was to design a traction-based locomotive with automatic sensors and signaling to alert the driver of any obstructions.
This document describes an enhanced method to control real and reactive power variations in wind energy conversion systems (WECS). It presents a control strategy for a direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator-based standalone variable-speed wind turbine. The control strategy regulates the generator-side converter to maximize power extraction from fluctuating winds. It also controls the output voltage and frequency of the load-side converter to deliver stable power to variable loads. A battery storage system with converter and inverter is used to provide continuous power when wind levels fluctuate or cannot boost the voltage sufficiently. Simulation results show the control strategy effectively regulates voltage and frequency under sudden load variations.

Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

ELECTRONICS ASSIGNMENT REPORT
Introduction:
DC motors are an integral part of many modern technologies, from household appliances to
industrial machinery. One of the primary requirements for motor control is the ability to change
the direction of rotation. The H-bridge circuit is a popular topology used for this purpose. The H-
bridge circuit consists of four switches, arranged in a specific way, that can be controlled to allow
current to flow in either direction through the motor. By controlling the switch configuration, we
can change the direction of rotation of the motor. This makes the H-bridge circuit an efficient and
versatile solution for controlling the direction of DC motors.
In addition to direction control, the H-bridge circuit also enables us to control the speed of the DC
motor. By varying the voltage applied to the motor, we can control the motor's speed of rotation.
This is achieved by using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which is a technique used to control
the amount of power delivered to the motor. PWM works by rapidly switching the voltage on and
off, and by varying the ratio of on-time to off-time, we can control the effective voltage applied to
the motor. This allows us to control the motor's speed in a precise and efficient manner.
Overall, the H-bridge circuit is a reliable and efficient solution for controlling the direction and
speed of DC motors. It is widely used in various applications, such as robotics, automation, and
electric vehicles. In this assignment, we will design and implement an H-bridge circuit using a
circuit simulation software such as Proteus to demonstrate its functionality. We will explore
different switch configurations and PWM techniques to control the motor's direction and speed
and examine the effects of varying the voltage applied to the motor.

Overall, the H-bridge circuit has been widely used in motor control applications due to its
versatility and efficiency. By controlling the direction and speed of the motor, the H-bridge
circuit provides an effective solution for various applications, ranging from electric vehicles to
robotics. Numerous studies have explored the applications of the H-bridge circuit in motor
control, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness. This assignment aims to design and
implement an H-bridge circuit using a circuit simulation software, further showcasing the
effectiveness of this circuit topology in controlling DC motors.
Methodology:
The H-bridge is a circuit that regulates the direction and speed of a DC motor using four switches.
These switches can be turned on and off in a specific order to allow current to flow through the
motor in either direction. The direction of motor rotation can be controlled by applying appropriate
control signals to the H-bridge inputs. The H-bridge circuit includes diodes that protect it from
voltage spikes caused by back EMF. To change the motor's speed, a potentiometer can be added
in parallel to modify the amount of current flowing through the motor. The control signals for the
H-bridge can be generated using a microcontroller or other control circuitry. Overall, the H-bridge
is a versatile circuit that provides an effective solution for controlling DC motors.
A detail insight into the individual components can be discussed as:
Resistor:
A resistor is an essential component in the design of an H-bridge circuit.
It is typically used to limit the current flowing through the H-bridge,
which helps to prevent damage to the circuit components. The resistor is
usually placed in series with the H-bridge inputs to ensure that the current
flowing through the H-bridge is within safe limits. Additionally, the
resistor helps to protect the H-bridge components from overloading by
reducing the voltage drop across the circuit. This is especially important
when the H-bridge is used to drive high current loads, such as motors.
In the H-bridge circuit, resistors are often used in combination with other components, such as
capacitors and diodes, to create more complex circuits that can handle a variety of loads. For
instance, resistors can be used in combination with capacitors to create an RC circuit that provides
a time delay in the H-bridge switching sequence. This can be useful in preventing damage to the
7. Electronics Lab
H-bridge components due to inrush currents when the circuit is first powered on. Overall, the use
of resistors in H-bridge circuits is essential for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the
circuit components.
Transistor:
Transistors are key components in the design of an H-bridge circuit. They
are typically used as the switching elements in the H-bridge and are
responsible for controlling the current flow through the load. The
transistors used in an H-bridge circuit are often MOSFETs, which provide
a fast-switching speed and low on-resistance. These features are essential
for efficient operation of the circuit, especially when driving high current
loads, such as motors.
In the H-bridge circuit, transistors are arranged in pairs, with one pair on
the high side of the load and the other pair on the low side. By selectively turning on and off the
transistors in each pair, the current can be made to flow through the load in either direction. This
allows the motor to be driven in forward or reverse directions. The use of transistors in H-bridge
circuits provides a reliable and efficient method for controlling the direction and speed of DC
motors.
Potentiometer:
Potentiometers are variable resistors that are often used in H-bridge
circuits to control the speed of DC motors. They work by varying the
resistance in the circuit, which in turn changes the amount of current
flowing through the motor. The potentiometer is typically connected
in parallel with the motor and the H-bridge circuit, allowing the user
to adjust the amount of current flowing through the motor and thus its
speed. By turning the potentiometer knob, the user can increase or
decrease the resistance in the circuit and control the speed of the motor
accordingly.
In H-bridge circuits, potentiometers are often used in combination
with other components, such as transistors and diodes, to create more complex circuits that can
handle a variety of loads. For instance, potentiometers can be used in combination with diodes to
create a voltage divider circuit that reduces the voltage applied to the motor, which can be useful
in protecting the motor from overvoltage conditions. Overall, the use of potentiometers in H-bridge
circuits provides a simple and effective way to control the speed of DC motors.
Switch:
Switches are essential components in H-bridge circuits, as they are used to turn the transistors on
and off. In an H-bridge circuit, switches are arranged in pairs, with one pair on the high side of the
load and the other pair on the low side. By selectively turning on and off the switches in each pair,
the current can be made to flow through the load in either direction, which allows the motor to be
8. Electronics Lab
driven in forward or reverse directions. Switches can be mechanical
or electronic, and they can be controlled manually or through an
electronic circuit.
The selection of switches in an H-bridge circuit depends on the requirements of the load. For
instance, if the load is a high current motor, the switches must be able to handle the high current
without overheating or failing. Typically, transistors or MOSFETs are used as the switching
elements in H-bridge circuits because they provide fast switching speed and low on-resistance,
which is essential for efficient operation of the circuit. Switches can be further protected using
diodes to prevent voltage spikes caused by back EMF.
DC Motor:
DC motors are commonly used in H-bridge circuits as the load
that the H-bridge controls. DC motors work by converting
electrical energy into mechanical energy, which enables them
to rotate a shaft. The direction of rotation can be controlled by
reversing the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor. This
is achieved by switching the current flow through the motor
using the H-bridge circuit.
The speed of the DC motor can also be controlled using an H-
bridge circuit by varying the voltage applied to the motor. This is achieved by using a
potentiometer or pulse width modulation (PWM) technique to adjust the voltage applied to the
motor. DC motors are widely used in various applications such as robotics, automation, and
industrial equipment, making the H-bridge circuit an essential component in these applications.

This assignment focuses on designing and implementing an H-bridge circuit for a DC motor using
four switching elements, a transistor, and a potentiometer. The H-bridge circuit is widely used in
robotics, automation, and industrial equipment, making it an important topic in electrical
engineering.
