This paper presents an investigation of five-Level Cascaded H - bridge (CHB) Inverter as Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) in Power System (PS) for compensation of reactive power and harmonics. The advantages of CHB inverter are low harmonic distortion, reduced number of switches and suppression of switching losses. The DST ATCOM helps to improve the power factor and eliminate the Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) drawn from a Non-Liner Diode Rectifier Load (NLDRL). The D-Q reference frame theory is used to generate the reference compensating currents for DSTATCOM while Proportional and Integral (PI) control is used for capacitor dc voltage regulation. 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.

Optimization techniques for harmonics minimization in cascaded hybrid multile...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Recent advancements in the field of power electronics have made possible the worldwide application of converters in dc power source utilization, uninterruptible power supplies, electric motor speed control, switched mode power supplies, flexible alternating current transmission systems devices including static synchronous compensator and their controls. Power semiconductor devices such as converters have been emerged as powerful devices in the power industries. As such, harmonics free output of inverters is assuming extreme importance. Over the past decades, depending upon the topologies and control strategies, numerous optimization techniques have been proposed for desired output waveform. This paper presents a review of optimization techniques used for multilevel inverters. The pros and cons of optimization techniques are discussed. The objective of these optimization techniques is to find out the optimum firing angles of multilevel inverters, which results in minimum harmonics. As a preferred option for proposed work, reduction of total harmonic distortion with the aid of particle swarm optimization technique to multilevel inverters is suggested.

Harmonic Minimization In Multilevel Inverters By Using PSOIDES Editor
Harmonic Elimination in a multilevel inverters is
an optimization problem which is solved by applying particle
swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The derived equation
for the computation of total harmonic distortion (THD) of the
output voltage of the multilevel inverter is used as the objective
function in PSO algorithm. The objective function used is to
reduce the THD of the multilevel inverter and obtain the
corresponding switching angles with the elimination of
possible lower order harmonics. In this paper a pseudo code
based algorithm is proposed to deal with inequality constraints
which will helps in accelerating the optimization process. The
proposed method is applied for seven level cascade inverter to
eliminate the 5th and 7th order harmonics to reduce the total
harmonic distortion .This proposed PSO algorithm is effective
in reducing the total harmonic distortion corresponding the
range of modulation index. The simulation results shows that
the proposed PSO method is indeed capable of obtaining
higher quality of solutions to eliminate 5th and 7th order
harmonics and to reduce the total harmonic distortion of 7-
level cascade inverter
This document discusses performance enhancement of a multilevel inverter using genetic algorithms. It presents an optimal solution for eliminating pre-specified harmonics from a stepped waveform generated by a multilevel inverter topology with equal DC sources. A genetic algorithm is proposed that reduces computational burden and allows for fast convergence in solving the non-linear equations involved. Simulation results show the genetic algorithm approach achieves significant improvement in harmonic profile compared to the conventional Newton-Raphson method.

Implementation of Cascaded H-bridge MULTI-LEVEL INVERTEREditor IJMTER
The classical two level inverter produce output with levels either Vdc or -Vdc. The output
voltage waveform of ideal inverter should be sinusoidal but the waveform of conventional inverters
is non-sinusoidal and contains certain harmonics. Large capacitor is normally connected across the
DC voltage source and such a capacitor is costly and demands space. In order to overcome these
drawbacks Multi level inverters are introduced. The great advantage of this kind of inverter is the
minimum harmonic distortion obtained. Power electronics is the applications of power
semiconductor devices for the control and conversion of electric power such that these devices
operate as switches. An inverter is an electrical device that converts DC voltage to AC voltage; the
resulting AC can be at any required frequency. Multi-level inverters are nothing but the modification
of basic bridge inverters [1]. The multilevel inverter collectively converts the several levels of dc
voltage to a desired ac voltage. The unique structure of multilevel inverters allows them to reach
nearer to sinusoidal i.e., with low harmonics. In this project the work is done on five & nine level
multilevel inverter but the multilevel can be done up to any level and how many levels we increase
that much precise sinusoidal supply we can get i.e., we can reduce that many harmonics from the
supply. Simulation work is done using the MATLAB software
A Prototype model of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Based Nine Level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter is to be designed and Implemented to produce AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency.

Injection of the wind power into an electric grid affects the power quality. The performance of the wind turbine and thereby power quality are determined on the basis of measurements and the norms followed according to the guideline specified in International Electro-technical Commission standard, IEC-61400. The influence of the wind turbine in the grid system concerning the power quality measurements are-the active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flicker, harmonics, and electrical behavior of switching operation and these are measured according to national/international guidelines. The paper study demonstrates the power quality problem due to installation of wind turbine with the grid. In this proposed scheme STATic COMpensator (STATCOM) is connected at a point of common coupling with a battery energy storage system (BESS) to mitigate the power quality issues. The battery energy storage is integrated to sustain the real power source under fluctuating wind power. The STATCOM control scheme for the grid connected wind energy generation system for power quality improvement is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK in power system block set. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme relives the main supply source from the reactive power demand of the load and the induction generator.

Whenever the power line is switched on it gets connected to the appliance only after a delay of a fixed time. If there is hi/low fluctuations beyond sets limits the appliance get disconnected. The system tries to connect the power back after the specific time delay, the delay being counted from the time of disconnection. If the power down time (time for which the voltage is beyond limits) is less than the delay time, the power resumes after the delay: If it is equal or more, then the power resumes directly.
This project report describes the development of an automatic power factor detection and correction system using an Arduino Uno microcontroller. The system includes current and potential transformers to sample current and voltage from the main circuit. It also includes a zero crossing detector, summer circuit, relay module and capacitor bank. The microcontroller measures the power factor from the sampled current and voltage values and controls the relay module to switch the appropriate capacitors in/out of the capacitor bank in order to correct the power factor. The goal of the project is to develop a microprocessor-based control system for single phase capacitor banks to enhance power factor correction capabilities.
This document describes an automatic phase changer circuit that can shift the load to an alternate power phase if the voltage drops below a certain level in one of the phases. The circuit uses three identical sets that each correspond to one of the three phases (R, Y, B). Each set includes a transformer, comparator, transistor and relay. The transformer steps down the voltage which is then rectified and used as input for the comparator. The comparator compares this voltage to a reference voltage and triggers the transistor and relay if the phase voltage is low, shifting the load to another phase with sufficient voltage. This automatic switching prevents equipment downtime if one phase loses power.

The aim of our project is to minimize this manual intervention by the farmer. Automated Irrigation system will serve the following purposes: 1) As there is no un-planned usage of water, a lot of water is saved from being wasted. 2) The irrigation is the only when there is not enough moisture in the soil and the sensors decides when should the pump be turned on/off, saves a lot time for the farmers. This also gives much needed rest to the farmers, as they don’t have to go and turn the pump on/off manually.

ABSTRACT
This paper is enhance the high efficiency and high power of the system by using
Phase shift controlled ABR (Active Boost Rectifier). Basically, an ABR is composed of a
traditional diode rectifier and a bidirectional switch. By adopting phase-shift control between
the primary- and secondary-side switches, the output voltage regulation can be achieved
when introducing the ABR to a dc–dc transformer. When the proposed converter operates in
the soft-switching continuous conduction mode, zero-voltage switching (ZVS) performance
for all the primary- and secondary side switches is achieved. When the proposed converter
operates in the soft-switching continuous conduction mode, zero-voltage switching (ZVS)
performance for all the primary- and secondary side switches is achieved. When the converter
operates in the discontinuous conduction mode, zero current switching (ZCS) for the
primary-side switches and ZVS for the secondary-side switches are achieved. Furthermore,
the diode reverse-recovery problem is alleviated by employing the ABR and phase-shift
control scheme.

stress. However, they will result in high input current ripple and require relatively large input
and output filters. A passive lossless clamped circuit can recover the energy that is trapped in
the leakage inductor and reduce voltage spike, but the active switch is still in hard switching.
The additional snubbers are required to reduce the voltage stresses of switches. In order to
raise the efficiency and increase power conversion density, the soft-switching technique is
required in dc/dc converters. The high switching frequency used in static power converters
can reduce the weight and size of the passive components. However, the switching losses on
power semiconductors are also increased.
The soft-switching techniques with variable switching frequency have been
proposed to increase the switching frequency, reduce the size of power converters, and
reduce the switching losses of the switching devices. The asymmetrical pulse width
modulation (PWM) techniques were proposed in to achieve the zero-voltage switching (ZVS)
feature at the power switch turn on instant. The active clamp techniques were presented in to
achieve ZVS turn-on. Switching mode power supplies based on the flyback converter were
widely used in industrial products for low-power applications. In the flyback converter, the
transformer is adopted to achieve circuit isolation and energy storage. The zeta converters
have been studied in to provide the isolated output voltage or achieve power factor
correction. However, the power switch is operated in hard-switching PWM so that the circuit
efficiency is low. The zeta converters with zero-current switching or ZVS technique have
been proposed to reduce converter volume, voltage stresses of switching devices, and
switching losses. An asymmetrical interleaved high step-up converter that combines the
advantages of the aforementioned converters is proposed, which combined the advantages of
both. In the voltage multiplier module of the proposed converter, the turn‘s ratio of coupled
inductors can be designed to extend voltage gain, and a voltage-lift capacitor offers an extra
voltage conversion ratio.
Multi cascaded sources arrangement and this topology the source series from another
source attached to a basic dc/dc converter is used to supply load power. Moreover a fraction
of power from the source is passed through the converter suffering from conversion losses,
and the remain power is supplied directly to the output load that does not have any power
loss. Therefore, the source cascaded topology can achieve high-efficiency and high-voltage
gains. In addition, due to this cascaded characteristics, the volume of transformer based on
the voltage and current stress on some components of the basic converter, can likewise be
reduced.

SYSTEM DESIGN
2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM:
Fig 2.1 Topology of a Full-bridge converter with VD rectifier.
2.1.1 DESCRIPTION
In existing system, there are four bidirectional switches which are connected in the
primary side of the transformer.
It consists of rectifier, dc-dc converters, two diodes, one leakage inductor
And two capacitor.
230v ac supply is given to this system then rectifier converts into approx. 60v dc
supply.
After this conversion, two bidirectional switches are start working they are basically
S1&S4 and S2&S3.
DC-DC converter converts pulsating dc into continuous dc supply which are
measured by load.
2.1.2 DEMERITS

and ZVS (Zero voltage switching).
Poor voltage regulation.
Low torque.
Low efficiency.

2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM:
Fig 2.2 New Full Bridge converter with VD ABR.
2.2.1 DESCRIPTION:
In proposed system, ABR is introduced to the secondary side of the transformer.
An ABR is composed of a traditional diode rectifier & a bidirectional switch.
By adopting phase shift control b/w the primary & secondary side switches, the
output voltage regulation can be achieved when introducing the ABR to a DC-DC
T/F.
When the proposed converter operates in the soft-switching continuous conduction
mode, zero- voltage switching (ZVS) performance for all the primary and secondary
side switch is achieved.
When the converter operates in the discontinuous conduction mode, zero current
switching(ZCS) for all primary side switches & zero voltage switching (ZVS) for
all the secondary side switches are achieved.
The diode reverse recovery problem is alleviated by employing the ABR & phase-
shift control scheme.
It is easy to understand that the output voltage of a DC T/F can be controlled by
improving the uncontrolled diode rectifier to an ABR.

CHAPTER-3
MODES OF OPERATION
3.1 Proposed dc-dc converters based on ABR:
3.1.1 Concept of an ABR:
When this converter operates as a dc transformer, the duty cycles of all the switches
are fixed at 0.5. The voltage-source full-bridge inverter, which is composed of a dc input
voltage source Uin and four switches S1 − S4, generates an ac square-wave voltage uP ,
applying to the primary winding of the transformer. Therefore, the converter shown in Fig. 1
can be represented by the one shown in Fig. 2(a). For simplicity, considering an ideal
transformer T with turns a ratio of 1, this circuit can be further simplified to a uncontrolled
rectifier.

rectifiers.

Fig 3.4 Simplified full-bridge ABR.
3.1.2 Family of DC–DC Converters Based on ABR:
A bidirectional switch can be realized through the combination of MOSFETs and
diodes, while a unidirectional switch can be realized through a series connection of a
MOSFET and a diode. Some possible realizations of the bidirectional and unidirectional
switches are illustrated in Fig. 6. Based on these switches, a family of ABR circuits can be
derived.
On the other hand, full-bridge diode rectifier, a bidirectional switch which is
paralleled with the transformer winding can also be built by replacing the two diodes in the
rectifier with two MOSFETs. As a result, simplified full-bridge ABR topologies can be
derived and shown in Fig. 8, where the bidirectional switches have been highlighted with red
color.

voltage gain versus duty cycle.

3.2.2 Soft-Switching Characteristics:
According to the operation principles of the converter, the ZVS turn ON of all the
primary-side power MOSFETs can be achieved when the converter operates in the SS-CCM
and HSCCM modes. The ZVS turn OFF of primary side MOSFETs can also be obtained
thanks to the parasitic or parallel capacitors on the drain to source of MOSFETs. When the
converter operates in the SS-CCM, ZVS turn ON of the secondary-side MOSFETs and zero
current switching (ZCS) turn OFF of rectifier diodes can also be achieved. However, when
the converter operates in HS-CCM, soft switching of secondary-side devices will lost. But, it
should be noted that, the turn-off loss of the secondary side MOSFETs can be minimized in
18. 18
the HS-CCM because the turn-off current is the minimum of these three operation modes
under the same output power condition.

CHAPTER-4
HARDWARE REQUIREMENT
4.1 Regulated power supply
4.1.1 Ordinary dc power supply:
These variations in dc output voltage may cause inaccurate or erratic operation or
even malfunctioning of many electronic circuits. For example, in an oscillator, the frequency
will shift and in transmitters, distorted output will result. Therefore, ordinary power supply is
unsuited for many electronic applications and is being replaced by regulated power supply.
4.1.2 Important terms:
For comparison of different types of power supplies, the following terms are commonly
used.
(i) Voltage regulation. The dc voltage available across the output terminals of a given
power supply depends upon load current. If the load current Idc is increased by decreasing RL
(See Fig. 17.2), there is greater voltage drop in the power supply and hence smaller dc output
voltage will be available. Reverse will happen if the load current decreases. The variation of
output voltage w.r.t. the amount of load current drawn from the power supply is known as
voltage regulation and is expressed by the following relation.
VNL
−V FL
×100
% Voltage regulation = VFL
Where VNL = dc output voltage at no-load
VFL = dc output voltage at full-load
Fig 4.1 Ordinary DC power supply.
20. 20
In a well-designed power supply, the full-load voltage is only slightly less than no-load
voltage i.e. voltage regulation approaches zero. Therefore, lower the voltage regulation, the
lesser the difference between full-load and no-load voltages and better is the power supply.
Power supplies used in practice have a voltage regulation of 1% i.e. full-load voltage is
within 1% of the no-load voltage. Fig. 17.3 shows the change of dc output voltage with load
current. This is known as voltage regulation curve.
Note. The above voltage regulation is called load regulation because it indicates the
change in output voltage due to the change in load current. There is another type of voltage
regulation, called line regulation and indicates the change in output voltage due to the change
in input voltage.
(ii) Minimum load resistance. The change of load connected to a power supply varies
the load current and hence the dc output voltage. In order that a power supply gives the rated
output voltage and current, there is minimum load resistance allowed.
4.1.3 Need of regulated power supply:
In practice, there are considerable variations in ac line voltage caused by outside
factors beyond our control. This changes the dc output voltage. Most of the electronic
circuits will refuse to work satisfactorily on such output voltage fluctuations. This
necessitates to use regulated dc power supply.
The internal resistance of ordinary power supply is relatively large (> 30 Ω).
Therefore, output voltage is markedly affected by the amount of load current drawn from the
supply. These variations in dc voltage may cause erratic operation of electronic circuits.

4.1.4 Schematic circuit diagram of RPS:
Fig 4.3 Schematic circuit of +5V power supply
A power supply circuit was needed to provide power to logic level components as
well as other components that were unable to operate from the 42-volt supply rail. The gate
drive circuitry, signal amplifier, and Hall Effect sensors required 12 volts to operate while all
of the digital hardware needed 5V. To make a +5V power supply, we use a LM7805 voltage
regulator IC is shown below.
Fig 4.4 IC LM7805
4.2 Transformer:
4.2.1 Single phase equivalent circuit of power transformer:
A transformer is a static piece of which electric power in one circuit is
transformed into electric power of same frequency in another circuit. It can raise or lower the
voltage in a circuit but with corresponding decrease or increase in current.
22. 22
Fig 4.5 Working model of transformer
Fig 4.6 Equivalent circuit of single phase transformer
4.2.2 Efficiency:
As always, efficiency is defined as power output to power input ratio.
Efficiency = Pout /Pin 100 %
Pin = Pout + Pcore + Pcopper
Pcopper represents the copper losses in primary and secondary windings. There are no
rotational losses.
23. 23
4.2.3 Open-circuit test:
Fig 4.7 Open-circuit test.
Secondary (normally the HV winding) is open, that means there is no load across
secondary terminals; hence there is no current in the secondary. Winding losses are
negligible, and the source mainly supplies the core losses, Pcore.
4.2.4 Short-circuit test:
Fig 4.8 Short-circuit test.
Secondary (normally the LV winding) is shorted, that means there is no voltage across
secondary terminals but a large current flow in the secondary. Test is done at reduced voltage
(about 5% of rated voltage) with full-load current in the secondary. So, the ammeter reads
full-load current, wattmeter reads winding losses, voltmeter reads primary voltage.

4.3 Filter:
4.3.1 Introduction:
Filters of some sort are essential to the operation of most electronic circuits.
It is therefore in the interest of anyone involved in electronic circuit design to have the
ability to develop filter circuits capable of meeting a given set of specifications.
Unfortunately, many in the electronics field are uncomfortable with the subject, whether
due to a lack of familiarity with it, or a reluctance to grapple with the mathematics
involved in a complex filter design. This Application Note is intended to serve as a very
basic introduction to some of the fundamental concepts and terms associated with filters.
It will not turn a novice into a filter designer, but it can serve as a starting point for those
wishing to learn more about filter design. In circuit theory, a filter is an electrical network
that alters the amplitude and/or phase characteristics of a signal with respect to frequency.
Ideally, a filter will not add new frequencies to the input signal, nor will it change the
component frequencies of that signal, but it will change the relative amplitudes of the
various frequency components and/or their phase relationships.
Filters are often used in electronic systems to emphasize signals in certain
frequency ranges and reject signals in other frequency ranges. Such a filter has a gain
which is dependent on signal frequency. As an example, consider a situation where a
useful signal at frequency f1 has been contaminated with an unwanted signal at f2. If the
contaminated signal is passed through a circuit (Figure1) that has very low gain at f2
compared to f1, the undesired signal can be removed, and the useful signal will remain.
Note that in the case of this simple example, we are not concerned with the gain of the
filter at any frequency other than f1 and f2. As long as f2 is sufficiently attenuated relative
to f1, the performance of this filter will be satisfactory. In general, however, a filter‘s gain
may be specified at several different frequencies. Since filters are defined by their
frequency-domain effects on signals, it makes sense that the most useful analytical and
graphical descriptions of filters also fall into the frequency domain. Thus, curves of gain
vs frequency and phase vs frequency are commonly used to illustrate filter characteristics,
and the most widely-used mathematical tools are based in the frequency domain. The
frequency-domain behavior of a filter is described mathematically in terms of its transfer
function or network function. This is the ratio of the Laplace transforms of its output and
input signals. The transfer function defines the filter‘s response to any arbitrary input
signal, but we are most often concerned with its effect on continuous sine waves.
25. 25
Especially important is the magnitude of the transfer function as a function of frequency,
which indicates the effect of the filter on the amplitudes of sinusoidal signals at various
frequencies. Knowing the transfer function magnitude (or gain) at each frequency allows
us to determine how well the filter can distinguish between signals at different
frequencies. The transfer function magnitude versus frequency is called the amplitude
response or sometimes, especially in audio applications, the frequency response.
Similarly, the phase response of the filter gives the amount of phase shift
introduced in sinusoidal signals as a function of frequency. Since a change in phase of a
signal also represents a change in time, the phase characteristics of a filter become
especially important when dealing with complex signals where the time relationships
between signal components at different frequencies are critical.
4.3.2 The basic filter types:
Band pass:
There are five basic filter types (bandpass, notch, low-pass, high-pass, and all-pass).
The filter used in the example in the previous section was a bandpass. The number of
possible bandpass response characteristics is infinite, but they all share the same basic form.
Several examples of bandpass amplitude response curves are shown in Figure 5. The curve in
5(a) is what might be called an ‗‗ideal‘‘ bandpass response, with absolutely constant gain
within the passband, zero gain outside the passband, and an abrupt boundary between the
two. This response characteristic is impossible to realize in practice, but it can be
approximated to varying degrees of accuracy by real filters. Curves (b) through (f) are
examples of a few bandpass amplitude response curves that approximate the ideal curves
with varying degrees of accuracy. Note that while some bandpass responses are very smooth,
other have ripple (gain variations in their passbands. Other have ripple in their stopbands as
well. The stopband is the range of frequencies over which unwanted signals are attenuated.
Bandpass filters have two stopbands, one above and one below the passband.
26. 26
Fig 4.9 Examples of Bandpass Filter Amplitude Response
Fig 4.10
High-Pass:
The opposite of the low-pass is the high-pass filter, which rejects signals below its
cutoff frequency. A high-pass filter can be made by rearranging the components of our
example network as in Figure12. Note that the amplitude response of the high-pass is a
‗‗mirror image‘‘ of the low-pass response.

4.3.2 Description of filter:
Filtering should be done in order to reduce the harmonics and ripples. For this
purpose we use capacitors for the filtering. They are rated at 100 v. here output voltage from
rectifier is 100 v. the capacitors are used in two arms. They share this voltage equally. The
capacitors are therefore rated at 100micro F/100v. Each of the capacitors shares 50v. The
capacitors are electrolytic in nature. Low-pass filters are used whenever high frequency
components must be removed from a signal. An example might be in a light-sensing
instrument using a photodiode. If light levels are low, the output of the photodiode could be

28. 28
very small, allowing it to be partially obscured by the noise of the sensor and its amplifier,
whose spectrum can extend to very high frequencies. If a low-pass filter is placed at the
output of the amplifier, and if its cutoff frequency is high enough to allow the desired signal
frequencies to pass, the overall noise level can be reduced.
4.4 Zero crossing detector:
4.4.1 Introduction:
As we are using non-linear loads that is both ac and dc loads the load current will be
distorted. This in turn affects the supply voltage. This will end by providing multiple zero
crossings at the voltage waveforms. So in order to find the accurate amount of magnitude of
filter current and its phase angle, we need to know whether the current is lagging or leading.
For that we go for synchronous circuit. It does consist of two low pass filter circuits; all pass
filters and a zero crossing circuit.
The multiple zero crossings caused by the harmonic current, if it is lesser we can use
only one second order low pass filter or else for severe cases we use two such filters. After
that the ripples may also be caused by the second order low pass filter, will be eliminated by
the all pass filter. Then the voltage wave is fed to the ZCD circuit. The ZCD will provide an
uprising pulse for positive rising voltage and down going pulses for negative voltage.
Zero crossing is the point of choice for measuring phase and frequency. The
reference is usually easy to establish and the signal‘s amplitude rate of change is maximum at
signal zero. Phase synchronized triggering requires placing additional constraints on zero
crossing detection. Weidenburg reviewed several method for synchronizing for firing
thyristor based power converters and proposed adaptive online waveform reconstruction. It
describes a predictive digital filter for noise reduction. Depending upon the frequency for a
particular application and the degree of signal processing, these methods can require high-
speed processing components that are too expensive for low cost applications.
4.4.2 Zero crossing measurement techniques:
Whether measuring period, frequency, or phase, the sources of errors are the
same. When measuring a signal for the purposes of synchronization, fast and accurate
frequency measurements are required. This requirement also translates into low phase
distortion that can be introduced by frequency filtering and by measurement delays. The
purpose of the instrumentation circuits and techniques discussed below are to reduce
29. 29
frequency errors due to multiple zero crossings (more than two per period) and reduce phase
errors by advanced or delayed zero crossing.
Methods that require extensive processing have significant time delays from when
changes of input frequency occur to when the change is reflected on the output. For this
reason, methods described in this paper exclude highly computational methods including
DFT and Wavelet type algorithms. The discussion methods is limited here to hardware and
combined hardware and software techniques with low process delay. Although these methods
can be applied to any frequency, the discussion here focuses on electric power system
applications.
A. Pre-Detection Low Pass filtering
Low pass filtering or band pass filtering helps to restrict the bandwidth to the
frequencies close to the frequency of the signal being measured. This technique is well suited
for signals that are expected to have small deviations about a nominal fixed frequency. It is
also well suited for signals corrupted by harmonics or other periodic signals that are
sufficiently distinguishable from the signal of interest.
A simple first order filter that can be constructed with a resistor and capacitor is
effective in reducing noise as shown in Fig. 1. The magnitude and phase response for a first-
order low pass filter is shown in Fig. 2. The cutoff frequency for this filter is set for 600 Hz.
Although the filter has little effect on the amplitude, there is significant phase shift at 60 Hz
as shown in Fig. 1 which is predictable from the phase at 60 Hz on the filter‘s Bode plot
shown in Fig. 2.
Higher order filters can appear to have zero phase shift but in reality, such filters
merely have phase shifts of integer multiples of 360 degrees. This is true for both analog and
digital filters. For digital filters, the phase delay is compounded by process delays. Filter
phase delay can be compensated for mathematically if the filters characteristics are
predictable. Unfortunately, filters constructed from physical resistors and capacitors have
low accuracy, repeatability, and temperature stability. For the filter design used in this
example, the phase shift is highly dependent on the frequency. This dependency further
complicates phase compensation techniques. As the cutoff frequency is increased, the phase
shift from filtering is less dependent on a specific frequency but the filters effectiveness for
noise reduction is likewise reduced.

order Butterworth filter with cutoff at 600
Hz.
B. Post Processing Signal Conditioning:
Multiple outputs for a single zero crossing must be expected in designs requiring
accuracy and precision. Digital processing of the output signal does present significant
advantages. There are two approaches: rule based and digital filtering. Rule based design
eliminates events that don‘t meet expected timing requirements. This approach inhibits zero
crossing detection for a specified period after an earlier detection event. This approach relies
on the statistical probability that the next zero crossing will be close to the next half period.
The inhibit period must be constrained to allow natural variations in the input signal.
Digital filtering has the ability to discriminate events based upon frequency of
occurrence just as passive filtering but overcomes their disadvantages by having high
accuracy and predictability. Such a method is the software implementation of a phase locked
loop (PLL) with feed-forward control described by Wall and Hess. The phase locked loop
does compensate for advanced or delayed zero crossing detection due to noise and even, to a
degree, that which is caused by harmonic or alien signal corruption. There is a compromise
between the degree of rejection and the speed of adapting to new steady state conditions.
31. 31
There is no phase error because of the nature of the phased locked loop. Capture and lock
dynamics can be dynamically changed if the PLL is implemented in software. Implementing
a feed-forward algorithm increases the filter‘s response to changes in input frequency.
The software implementation of the PLL is a second order digital filter and requires
minimal processor capability. The Microchip PIC16C73B, a microcontroller with 4K word
program memory and 192 byte RAM, is sufficient to execute the PLL algorithm. Thus it
remains a low cost implementation.
C. Zero-Crossing Detection by Interpolation:
The implementation used in this design identifies two points on the sine wave: the
first just before the positive going zero crossing and the second just after the same zero
crossing. This implementation uses two optoisolators as shown in Fig. 3 to compensate for
variations in level sensitivity and switching time delays. Optoisolators with Schmitt triggered
outputs are used to provide additional hysteresis.
Input signals with constant frequency render delays due to optoisolator output
switching indistinguishable from delays due to threshold levels. The interpolation method
requires additional processor resources to accurately determine when two events occur. This
usually requires that the processor have interrupt capability and capture and compare
resources. The processor is programmed to capture the time of the times when Out-
optoisolator output goes high and the Out+ optoisolator output goes low. The true zero
crossing is computed by linear interpolation between these two times. Fig. 4 shows that this
method results in an improved degree of accuracy. The Est. Zero shown in Fig. 4 is
computed from the phase-locked loop algorithm that estimates the next zero crossing time.

4.5 PIC Microcontroller:
The term PIC stands for Peripheral Interface Controller .It is the brain child of
Microchip Technology, USA. Originally this was developed as a supporting device for PDP
computers to control its peripheral devices, and therefore named as PIC, Peripheral Interface
Controller. They have coined this name to identify their single chip micro controllers. These
8-bit micro controllers have become very important now -a -days in industrial automation and
embedded applications etc. One of the earlier versions of PIC Microcontrollers is
PIC16C6x/7x. The 7x family has an enhancement of Analog to Digital converter capability.
These cs are available with a range of capabilities packaged in both dual in-line (DIP)
packages and surface-mount packages. These are available in 28 pin DIP, 40 pin DIP, 44 pin
33. 33
surface mount package…etc. some of PIC controllers contain the letter A in their number.
The presence of A indicates the brown-out reset feature, which causes a reset of the PIC
when the Power Supply voltage drops below 4.0v.
4.5.1 Overview:
The PIC 16F8XX Microcontrollers are basically RISC microcontrollers with very
small instruction set of only 35 instructions and a two-stage pipeline concept fetch and
execution of instructions. As a result, all instructions execute in a single cycle except for
program branches. There are four devices in 16F8xx family, PIC16F873, PIC16F874,
PIC16F876 and PIC16F877.The PIC16F876/873 devices come in 28-pin packages and the
PIC16F877/874 devices come in 40-pin packages. The Parallel Slave Port is not implemented
on the 28-pin devices.
PIC 16F877 is a 40-pin 8-Bit CMOS FLASH Microcontroller. The core architecture
is high-performance RISC CPU. Since it follows the RISC architecture, all single cycle
instructions take only one instruction cycle except for program branches which take two
cycles. 16F877 comes with 3 operating speeds with 4, 8, or 20 MHz clock input. Since each
instruction cycle takes four operating clock cycles, each instruction takes 0.2 μs when 20MHz
oscillator is used. It has two types of internal memories .One is program memory and the
other is data memory. Program memory is provided by 8K words (or 8K*14 bits) of FLASH
Memory, and data memory has two sources. One type of data memory is a 368-byte RAM
(random access memory) and the other is256-byte EEPROM (Electrically erasable
programmable ROM).The core features include interrupt up to 14 sources, power saving
SLEEP mode, a single 5V supply and In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) capability.
The sink/source current, which indicates a driving power from I/O port, is high with 25mA.
Power consumption is less than 2 mA in 5V operating condition.

The instruction set is so simple that it consists of only just 35 instructions
3. Integration of operational features:

4.5.3 Architecture
The PIC16FXX is a family of low-cost, high-performance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit
microcontrollers. All PIC microcontrollers employ an advanced RISC architecture. The
PIC16FXX microcontroller family has enhanced core features, eight-level deep stack, and
multiple internal and external interrupt sources. The two-stage instruction pipeline allows all
instructions to execute in a single cycle, except for program branches (which require two
cycles). A total of 35 instructions (reduced instruction set) are available. Also, a large register
set helps to achieve a very high performance.
The PIC 16FXX uses Harvard architecture, in which, program and data are accessed
from separate memories using separate buses. This improves bandwidth over traditional Von
Neumann architecture where program and data may be fetched from the same memory using
the same bus. Separating program and data buses further allows instructions to be sized
differently than 8-bit wide data words. Instruction opcodes are 14-bits wide making it
possible to have all single word instructions. A 14-bit wide program memory access bus
fetches a 14-bit instruction in a single cycle. A two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and
execution of instructions. Consequently, all instructions execute in a single cycle (200 ns@
20MHz) except for program branches. The PIC 16F87X devices have a 13-bit program
counter capable of addressing an 8KX14 program memory space. The PIC 16FF876/877
devices have 8Kx 14 words of Flash program memory .The RESET vector is at 0000h and
the Interrupt vector is at 0004h.
36. 36
Memory organization:
The memory module of the PIC microcontroller has two memory blocks.
a) Program memory
b) Data memory
a. Program Memory:
The PIC 16F8XX has 4k x14 program memory space (0000H-0FFFH).It has a 13 bit
Program counter(PC) to access any address (213
=4k). This PIC family uses 13-bit program
counter allowing the controllers to an 8k-program memory without changing the CPU
structure. Two addresses in the program memory address space are treated in a special way
by the CPU. The first address H‘ 000‘ being a go to mainline instruction the second special
address, H‘ 004‘ being a ‗go to in service‘ instruction can be assigned to this address to make
the CPU to jump to the beginning of the Interrupt Service routine located elsewhere in the
memory space.
Figure 4.19
37. 37
b. DATA MEMORY
The data memory of PIC 16F8XX is partitioned into multiple banks which contain the
general purpose registers and the Special function Registers.(SFRs).The bits RP1 and RP0
bits of the status register are used to select these banks. Each bank extends upto 7FH (128
Bytes).The lower bytes of the each bank are reserved for the Special Function Registers.
Above the SFRs are general purpose registers implemented as static RAM.
REGISTER FILE STRUCTURE
In PIC Microcontrollers the Register File consists of two parts namely
a) General Purpose Register File
b) Special Purpose Register File
a) General Purpose Register File:
The general purpose register file is another name for the microcontroller‘s RAM. Data can be
written to each 8-bit location updated and retrieved any number of times.
b) Special Purpose Register File:
The special function register file consists of input, output ports and control registers
used to configure each 8-bit port either as input or output. It contains registers that provide
the data input and data output to a chip resources like Timers, Serial Ports and Analog to
Digital converter and also the registers that contains control bits for selecting the mode of
operation and also enabling or disabling its operation.
39. 39
4.5.4 Addressing Modes
The PIC microcontrollers support only TWO addressing modes .They are
(i) Direct Addressing Mode
(ii) Indirect Addressing mode
Direct Addressing Mode:
In direct addressing mode 7 bits (0-6) of the instruction identify the register file
address and the 8th
bit of the register file address register bank select bit (RP0).
Figure 4.21
The above diagram explains the method of accessing register file address 13H by direct
addressing method.
40. 40
Indirect Addressing Mode
In the indirect addressing mode the 8-bit register file address is first written into a
Special Function Register (SFR) which acts as a pointer to any address location in the register
file A subsequent direct access of INDF will actually access the register file using the content
of FSR as a pointer to the desired location of the operand.

4.6 Analog to digital converters:
4.6.1 Introduction:
When configuring and using the ADC the following functions must be considered.
• Channel selection
• ADC voltage reference selection
• ADC conversion clock source
• Interrupt control
• Results formatting
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and digital signals. When converting
analog signals, the I/O pin should be configured for analog by setting the associated TRIS
and ANSEL bits. See the corresponding Port section for more information. Electronic
integrated circuit which transforms a signal from analog (continuous) to digital (discrete)
form. Analog signals are directly measurable quantities. Digital signals only have two states.
For digital computer, we refer to binary states, 0 and 1. Microprocessors can only perform
complex processing on digitized signals. When signals are in digital form they are less
susceptible to the deleterious effects of additive noise. ADC Provides a link between the
analog world of transducers and the digital world of signal processing and data handling.
4.6.2 Application of ADC:
ADC are used virtually everywhere where an analog signal has to be processed,
stored, or transported in digital form.
Some examples of ADC usage are digital volt meters, cell phone, thermocouples,
and digital oscilloscope.
Microcontrollers commonly used 8, 10, 12, or 16 bit ADCs, our micro controller
uses an 8 or 10 bit ADC.

Application development, including graphical user interface building
MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not
require dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems,
especially those with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it would take to
write a program in a scalar non interactive language such as C or FORTRAN.
The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB was originally written
to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK and EISPACK
projects. Today, MATLAB engines incorporate the LAPACK and BLAS libraries,
embedding the state of the art in software for matrix computation.
MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables to
perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages
such as C, C++, and FORTRAN.
MATLAB has evolved over a period of years with input from many users. In
university environments, it is the standard instructional tool for introductory and advanced
courses in mathematics, engineering, and science. In industry, MATLAB is the tool of choice
for high-productivity research, development, and analysis. MATLAB features a family of
add-on application-specific solutions called toolboxes .Very important to most users of
MATLAB, toolboxes allow you to learn and apply specialized technology. Toolboxes are
comprehensive collections of MATLAB functions (M-files) that extend the MATLAB
environment to solve particular classes of problems.

Areas in which toolboxes are available include signal processing, control systems,
neural networks, fuzzy logic, wavelets, simulation, aerospace, bioinformatics, image

5.2.3 CREATING AND WORKING WITH MODELS
With Simulink, we can quickly create, model, and maintain a detailed block diagram of your
system using a comprehensive set of predefined blocks. Simulink provides tools for
hierarchical modeling, data management, and subsystem customization, making it easy to
create concise, accurate representations, regardless of your system's complexity.
Selecting and Customizing Blocks
Simulink software includes an extensive library of functions commonly used in
modeling a system. These include:
Continuous and discrete dynamics blocks, such as Integration and Unit Delay
Algorithmic blocks, such as Sum, Product, and Lookup Table
Structural blocks, such as Mux, Switch, and Bus Selector
We can customize these built-in blocks or create new ones directly in Simulink and
place them into your own libraries. Additional block sets (available separately) extend
Simulink with specific functionality for aerospace, communications, radio frequency, signal
processing, video and image processing, and other applications .We can model Physical
system in Simulink. Simscape, SimDriveline, SimHydraulics, SimMechanics and
SimPowerSystem (all available separately) provide expanded capabilities for
modeling physical systems, such as those with mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic
components.
Incorporating MATLAB Algorithms and Hand-Written Code
When we incorporate MATLAB code, you can call MATLAB functions for data
analysis and visualization. Additionally, Simulink lets you use Embedded MATLAB code to
design embedded algorithms that can then be deployed through code generation with the rest
of your model. We can also incorporate hand-written C, FORTRAN, and Ada code directly
into a model, enabling you to create custom blocks in your model.

5.2.4 BUILDING AND EDITING A MODEL
With Simulink, we build models by dragging and dropping blocks from the library
browser onto the graphical editor and connecting them with lines that establish mathematical
relationships between the blocks. We can arrange the model by using graphical editing
functions, such as copy, paste, undo, align, distribute, and resize.

CHAPTER-7
CONCLUSION
7.1 Conclusion:
In this paper, a family of soft-switching dc–dc converters has been presented for
high-efficiency applications based on the novel proposed ABRs. In the proposed converters,
all the power switches are operated at fixed 50% duty cycle, and the output voltage regulation
is achieved by adopting phase shift control between the primary and secondary-side switches.
ZVS performance has been achieved for both the primary- and secondary-side switches in a
wide voltage and load range. Furthermore, the reverse-recovery problems associated with the
rectifier diodes are alleviated. Therefore, the switching losses of the proposed converters can
be reduced, which is important for high-frequency, high-efficiency, and high-power density
applications. Moreover, the leakage inductance of the transformer has been utilized as the
energy transfer inductor, and all the devices voltages are clamped to the input or output
voltage. Thus, the voltage overshoots on the devices are effectively suppressed. In addition,
the proposed converters are suitable for wide-range applications because they can operate
either in Buck or Boost mode.
As an example, the FBC with VD ABR is analyzed with operation principles and
output characteristics presented. Experimental results of a 1 kW prototype have verified the
feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed topological methodology and converters.
