In recent times, high-brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs) are
developing rapidly and it is confirmed to be the future development in
lighting not only because of their high efficiency and high reliability,
however also because of their other exceptional features: chromatic variety,
shock and vibration resistance, etc. In this paper, a bridgeless (BL) Isolated
Interleaved Zeta Converter is proposed for the purpose of reducing the diode
failures or losses; the value of output ripples also gets decreased. The
proposed BL isolated interleaved zeta converter operating in discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) is used for controlling the brightness of LED
Driver with inherent PFC at ac mains using single voltage sensor. The fuzzy
logic controller (FLC) is used to adjust the Modulation Index of the voltage
controller in order to improve the dynamic response of LED Lamp driver.
Based on the error of converter output voltage, FLC is designed to select the
optimum Modulation Index of the voltage controller. The proposed LED
driver is simulated to achieve a unity power factor at ac mains for a wide
range of voltage control and supply voltage fluctuations.
Comparison of Buck-Boost and Cuk Converters for BLDC Drive Applications with PFCIJMTST Journal
The devices generally used in industrial, commercial and residential applications need to undergo rectification for their proper functioning and operation. Hence there is a need to reduce the line current harmonics so as to improve the power factor of the system. This has led to designing of Power Factor Correction circuits. This project presents a power factor corrected (PFC) bridgeless (BL) buck–boost converter-fed brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drive as a cost-effective solution for low-power applications. The conventional PFC scheme of the BLDC motor drive utilizes a pulse width-modulated voltage source inverter (PWM-VSI) for speed control with a constant dc link voltage. This offers higher switching losses in VSI as the switching losses increase as a square function of switching frequency. A BL configuration of the buck–boost converter is proposed which offers the elimination of the diode bridge rectifier, thus reducing the conduction losses associated with it. A PFC BL buck–boost converter is designed to operate in discontinuous inductor current mode (DICM) to provide an inherent PFC at ac mains. The simulation results are presented by using Matlab/Simulink software. The proposed concept can be extended with cuk converter for BLDC drive applications using Matlab/Simulink software
Design of Half Bridge LLC Resonant Converter for Low Voltage Dc ApplicationsIOSRJEEE
An advanced hybrid LLC series resonant converter with united flying-capacitor cell is proposed in this paper to permit the high step-down conversion in the high input voltage applications. The in-built flyingcapacitor branch in the primary side can efficiently share out the primary switch voltage stress related with the half-bridge LLC converters. And the input voltage can be shared correspondingly and automatically between the two series half-bridge components lacking additional balance circuit or control strategies owing to the built-in flying- capacitor cell. Likewise, the inherent soft switching performance in extensive load range that exists in the LLC converters is still kept to decrease the switching losses, which ensures the high efficiency. In addition, the proposed converter can be comprehensive to reduce the switch voltage stress byemploying stacked connection. Finally, a 500∼640 Vinput 48 Voutput 1 kW prototype is built and tested to verify the efficiency of the proposed converter. The results prove that the proposed converter is an excellent candidate for the high input voltage and high step-down dc/dc conversion systems.
New Topology for Transformer less Single Stage -Single Switch AC/DC ConverterIJMER
This paper presents a transformer less single-stage single-switch ac/dc converter suitable for universal line applications (90–270 Vrms). The topology consists of a buck-type power-factor correction (PFC) cell with a buck–boost dc/dc cell and part of the input power is directly coupled to the output after the first power processing. With this direct power transfer and sharing capacitor voltages, the converter is able to achieve efficient power conversion, high power factor, low voltage stress on intermediate bus (less than 120 V) and low output voltage without a high step-down transformer. The absence of transformer reduces the size of the circuit , component counts and cost of the converter. Unlike most of the boost-type PFC cell, the main switch of the proposed converter only handles the peak inductor current of dc/dc cell rather than the superposition of both inductor currents. Tight voltage regulation is provided by using PID controller. Detailed analysis and design procedures and simulation of the proposed circuit are given .

Single-Phase Inverter with Energy Buffer and DC-DC Conversion CircuitsAsoka Technologies
This paper proposes a new single-phase inverter topology and describes the control method for the proposed inverter. The inverter consists of an energy buffer circuit, a dc-dc conversion circuit and an H-bridge circuit. The energy buffer circuit and H-bridge circuit enable the proposed inverter to output a multilevel voltage according to the proposed pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. The dc-dc conversion circuit can charge the buffer capacitor continuously because the dc-dc conversion control cooperates with the PWM. Simulation results confirm that the proposed inverter can reduce the voltage harmonics in the output and the dc-dc conversion current in comparison to a conventional inverter consisting of a dc-dc conversion circuit and H-bridge circuit. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed inverter can output currents of low total harmonic distortion and have higher efficiency than the conventional inverter. In addition, it is confirmed that these features of the proposed inverter contribute to the suppression of the circuit volume in spite of the increase in the number of devices in the circuit.

By removing the input bridge in conventional PFC converters, the control circuit is simplified; the total harmonics distortion (THD) and power factor (PF) are improved. The PI controller operates in two loops one is the outer control loop which calculates the reference current through LC filter and signal processing. Inner current loop generates PWM switching signals through the PI controller. The output of the proposed PFC topology is verified for prototype using MATLAB circuit simulations. The experimental system is developed, and the simulation results are obtained.

lossless clamped circuit not only recycles leakage energies of the coupled inductor to improve efficiency but
also alleviates large voltage spike to limit the voltage stresses of the main switches. The reverse-recovery
problem of the output diode is also alleviated by the leakage inductor and the lower part count is needed;
therefore, the power conversion efficiency can be further upgraded. The voltage conversion ratios, the effect of
the leakage inductance and the parasitic parameters on the voltage gain are discussed. The voltage stress
and current stress on the power devices are illustrated and the comparisons between the proposed converter
and other converters are given. The simulation results are presented by using Mat lab/Simulink software.

This paper deals with comparison of responses of PI and Proportional Resonant controlled DC to AC Converter systems. The objective of this work is to regulate the output of Dual Active Bridge DC to DC converter (DABDAC). The input DC is converted into high frequency AC using Half bridge inverter. It is stepped up by using step up transformer and then it is rectified. The DC is converted into Low frequency AC using a Half bridge inverter. The open loop DABDAC system, closed loop PI based DABDAC system an Proportional Resonant Controller (PRC)based DABDAC system are designed, modeled and simulated using MATLAB Simulink. The results of PR controlled system are compared with those of PI controlled system.

A single-phase, three-level, single-stage power-factor corrected AC/DC converter operated under closed
loop manner is presented. That operates with a single controller to regulate the output voltage and the input
inductor act as a boost inductor to have a single stage power factor correction with good output response. The
paper deals with a new single stage three level ac-dc converter which performs both power factor correction
and voltage regulation in a single stage. The proposed converter has two separate controllers, one for power
factor correction and the other for regulating the output voltage. A comprehensive review of the existing single
stage topologies has been carried out. Then the operating principle, control scheme and the design of the new

Abstract: This article deals with a transformerless buck-boost converter with simple structure. By inserting an additional switched network into the traditional buck-boost converter new converter is obtained. Compared with the traditional buck-boost converter, its voltage gain is quadratic of the traditional buck-boost converter. It can operate in a wide range of output voltage, that is, the proposed buck-boost converter can achieve high or low voltage gain without extreme duty cycle. Moreover, the output voltage of this transformerless buck-boost converter is common-ground with the input voltage, and its polarity is positive. The two power switches of the proposed buck-boost converter operate synchronously. The operating principles and the steady-state analyses for the buck-boost converter operating in CCM are presented.

Power Factor Corrected Bridgeless Converter Based Improved Power Quality Swit...paperpublications3
Abstract: Many electronic appliances powered up from the utility, utilize the classical method of AC-DC rectification which involves a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) followed by a large electrolytic capacitor. The uncontrolled charging and discharging of this capacitor instigates harmonic rich current being drawn from the utility which goes against the international power quality standard limits. Personal computer (PC) is one of the electronic equipment which is severely affected by power quality problems. Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is an integral part of the computer that converts AC to multiple numbers of suitable DC voltages to impart power to different parts of the PC. It contains a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) with a capacitor filter followed by an isolated DC-DC converter to achieve multiple dc output voltages of different ratings. That result in a highly distorted, high crest factor, periodically dense input current at the single phase ac mains; this violates the limits of international power quality (PQ) standards such as IEC 61000 -3-2 . Employing various power factor corrected (PFC) single-stage and two stage converters effect a perceivable PQ improvement in these SMPSs. Hence from the analysis of different power factor converters a bridgeless buck boost converter is designed and implemented here for near unity power factor.

This paper presents a new simplified cascade multiphase DC-DC buck power converter suitable for low voltage and large current applications. Cascade connection enables very low voltage ratio without using very small duty cycles nor transformers. Large current with very low ripple content is achieved by using the multiphase technique. The proposed converter needs smaller number of components compared to conventional cascade multiphase DC-DC buck power converters. This paper also presents useful analysis of the proposed DC-DC buck power converter with a method to optimize the phase and cascade number. Simulation and experimental results are included to verify the basic performance of the proposed DC-DC buck power converter.

Inter-Area Oscillation Damping using an STATCOM Based Hybrid Shunt Compensati...IJPEDS-IAES
FACTS devices are one of the latest technologies which have been used to
improve power system dynamic and stability during recent years. However,
widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost
and reliability concerns. In this paper an economical phase imbalanced shunt
reactive compensation concept has been introduced and its ability for power
system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are
investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive
compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt
capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power
system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding
a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control
loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies
are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller
and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are
added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to
damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly,
be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase
STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus
six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to
demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system
dynamic enhancement.

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

became burning issues since the starting of high voltage AC transmission
system. Hence, in this article it has been discussed to mitigate the PQ issues
in high voltage AC systems through a three phase Unified Power Quality
Conditioner (UPQC) under various conditions, such as harmonic mitigation
scheme, non linear loads, sag and swell conditions as well. Also, it proposes
to control harmoincs with various artificial intelligent techniques. Thus
application of these control technique such as Neural Networks (ANN)

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.

efficient method to analyze the performance of the induction machines. This
study presents a step by step Matlab/Simulink implementation
of a star-connected 3-phase IM under open-phase fault (faulty 3-phase IM)
using d-q model. The presented technique in this paper can be simply
implemented in one block and can be made available for control purposes.

Performance Characteristics of Induction Motor with FielIJPEDS-IAES
With development of power electronics and control Theories, the AC motor
control becomes easier. So the AC motors are used instead of the DC motor
in the drive applications. With this development, a several methods of control
are invented. The field oriented control and direct torque control are from the
best methods to control the drive systems. This paper is compared between
the field oriented control and direct torque control to show the advantages
and disadvantages of these methods of controls. This study discussed the
effects of these methods of control on the total harmonic distortion of the
current and torque ripples. This occurs through study the performance
characteristics of the AC motor. The motor used in this study is an induction
motor. This study is simulated through the MATLAB program.
A Novel Modified Turn-on Angle Control Scheme for Torque- Ripple Reduction in...IJPEDS-IAES
In recent years, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have been dramatically
considered with both researchers and industries. SRMs not only have a
simple and reliable structure, but also have low cost production process.
However, discrete torque production of SRM along with intensive magnetic
saturation in stator and rotor cores are the major drawbacks of utilizing in
variety of industrial applications and also causes the inappropriate torque
ripples. In this paper, a modified logical-rule-based Torque Sharing Function
(TSF) method is proposed considering turn-on angle control. The optimized
turn-on angle for conducting each phase is achieved by estimating the
inductance curve in the vicinity of unaligned position and based on an
analytical solution for each phase voltage equation. Simulation results on a
four-phase switched reluctance motor and comparison with the conventional
methods validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element AnalysisIJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction
motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which
contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine.
Each of these components is simulated in different software environments.
So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM
which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform
environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is
developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLABSimulink
environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design
and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is
exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of
different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first
is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is
the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the
performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions,
a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze
the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been
performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed
verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.
Comparative Performance Study for Closed Loop Operation of an Adjustable Spee...IJPEDS-IAES
In this paper an extensive comparative study is carried out between PI
and PID controlled closed loop model of an adjustable speed Permanent
Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive. The incorporation of Sinusoidal
Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy establishes near sinusoidal
armature phase currents and comparatively less torque ripples without
sacrificing torque/weight ratio. In this closed loop model of PMSM drive, the
information about reference speed is provided to a speed controller, to ensure
that actual drive speed tracks the reference speed with ideally zero steady
state speed error. The entire model of PMSM closed loop drive is divided
into two loops, inner loop current and outer loop speed. By taking the
different combinations of two classical controllers (PI & PID) related with
two loop control structure, different approximations are carried out. Hence a
typical comparative study is introduced to familiar with the different
performance indices of the system corresponding to time domain and
frequency domain specifications. Therefore overall performance of closed
loop PMSM drive is tested and effectiveness of controllers will be
determined for different combinations.

This paper presents an electronic design based on general purpose discrete
components for speed control of a single phase induction motor drive. The
MOSFETs inverter switching is controlled using Sampled Sinusoidal Pulse
Width Modulation (SPWM) techniques with V/F method based on Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The load power is also controlled by a novel
design to produce a suitable SPWM pulse. The proposed electronic system
has ability to control the output frequency with flexible setting of lower limit
to less than 1 Hz and to higher frequency limits to 55 Hz. Moreover, the
proposed controller able to control the value of load voltage to frequency
ratio, which plays a major parameter in the function of IM speed control.
Furthermore, the designed system is characterized by easy manufacturing
and maintenance, high speed response, low cost, and does not need to
program steps as compared to other systems based on Microcontroller
and digital signal processor (DSP) units. The complete proposed electronic
design is made by the software of NI Multisim version 11.0 and all the
internal sub-designs are shown in this paper. Simulation results show the

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.

The output ripples in the converter is reduced by providing a π filter.
The interleaved voltage quadrupler is used in this system in order to boost the

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.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

boost segment. This scheme is excellent for a low to medium power range applications. During upper power
levels, the diode bridge is a significant part of the application and it is essential to cope with the complication
of heat dissipation in limited surface area [1, 14].
The selection of the type of operation of a PFC converter is a significant subject since it directly has
an effect on the cost and rating of the elements employed in the PFC converter. The Continuous Conduction
Mode (CCM) and Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) are the two types of operation wherein a PFC
converter is intended to function [14, 1]. In case of CCM, the current in the inductor or the voltage in the
intermediary capacitor remains continuous; however, it needs the sensing of two voltages (DC link voltage
and supply voltage) and input side current for the purpose of PFC operation, which is not cost-effective. In
contrast, DCM needs a single voltage sensor for DC link voltage control, and intrinsic PFC is accomplished
at the AC mains, however, at the cost of higher stresses on the PFC converter switch; for this reason, DCM is
chosen for the purpose of low-power applications [6, 17 and 19].
In order to further enhance the efficiency, bridgeless (BL) converters are employed which permit the
exclusion of DBR in the front end [5, 6, and 17]. A buck–boost converter arrangement is well-matched
among several BL converter topologies for applications need an extensive range of DC link voltage control.
[3, 4, and 8] have formulated BL buck and boost converters, respectively. These converters can offer the
voltage buck [3] which restricts the operating range of DC link voltage controlA new family of BL SEPIC
[25] and Cuk converters has been described in the literature [5, 6] however needs a huge number of elements
and has losses connected with it. In this work, a conventional DBR based isolated zeta converter has been
considered for simulation analysis which is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Conventional DBR based Isolated Zeta Coverter
In this paper, a PFC Zeta converter based power supply is proposed for HB-LED lamp with
universal input voltage. In proposed LED driver, PFC AC-DC converter assists in enhancing the input PF and
also helps in reducing THD of AC mains current to the required level in accordance with the limits provided
by various international standards. The circuit maintains stable lamp voltage to accomplish stable operation
of lamp for the purpose of retrofit applications. The fact that PFC converter is controlled at high switching
frequency of 60 kHz, it diminishes the size and weight of passive constituents like inductor and capacitor.
2. PROPOSED BRIDGELESS (BL) ISOLATED INTERLEAVED ZETA CONVERTER-FED LED
LAMP
Figure 2 illustrates the proposed BL isolated interleaved zeta converter-fed LED lamp. Here, a
single-phase supply is employed to provide a DBR followed by a filter and a BL isolated interleaved zeta
converter. The filter is intended to keep away from any switching ripple in the DBR and the supply system. A
BL isolated interleaved zeta converter is intended to function in DCM to take action as an inherent PFC. This
arrangement of DBR and PFC converter is employed to feed a LED lamp as illustrated in Figure 2. The
output voltage of the converter is managed by means of changing the duty ratio of the PWM pulses of PFC
converter switch. In the mean time, a single voltage sensor is employed for controlling the converter output
voltage. This arrangement is designed and its effectiveness is validated using simulation results for enhanced
power quality at AC mains for an extensive range of voltage control. Requirements of the LED lamp chosen
for simulation investigations are provided in Table 1.

2.1. Operation of BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter
The operation of the BL isolated interleaved zeta converter is categorized into two components
which comprise the operation at some point in the positive and negative half cycles of supply voltage.
Operation during Positive Half Cycles Of Supply Voltage
The operation of the proposed BL isolated interleaved zeta converter is further categorized into three
modes, they are, switch turn-ON, switch turn-OFF and DCM. Three modes are illustrated in Figure 3(a)–(c)
and their related waveforms are provided in Figure 3. These modes are briefly discussed as follows.
Conduction Modes of Switch
Mode 0:
When switch(S )is in “ON” condition, a current in magnetizing inductance (L ) of high frequency
transformer (T ) boosts as illustrated in Figure 3(a). The intermediary capacitor (C ) provides energy to an
output inductor (L ) and the output filter capacitor (C ). Consequently, voltage across intermediary capacitor
(C ) decreases and the current in output inductor (L ) and output capacitor voltage (C ) are increased.

Mode 1:
When switch (S ) is turned “OFF,” the current in magnetizing inductance (L )of high frequency
transformer (T ) and output inductor (L ) starts reducing. This energy of high frequency transformer is

transferred to the intermediate capacitor (C ), and therefore voltage across it increases. Diode (D ) conducts
in this mode of operation and theoutput capacitor voltage (C ) increases as shown in Figure 3.
Mode 2:
This mode is DCM in order that the energy of high frequency transformer (T ) is fully released as
illustrated in Figure 3(c). The intermediary capacitor (C ) and the output capacitor (C ) provide the energy
to the output inductor (L ) and the load, correspondingly. Therefore, the output capacitor voltage (C ) and
intermediary capacitor’s voltage (C ), are decreased, and the output inductor current (L ), boosts in this mode
of operation as illustrated in Figure 3.
Conduction Modes of Switch
Mode 3:
When switch (S ) is “ON” condition, a current in magnetizing inductance (L ) of high frequency
transformer (T ) raises as illustrated in Figure 4 (a). The intermediary capacitor (C ) provides energy to an
output inductor (L ) and the output filter capacitor (C ). Consequently, voltage across intermediary capacitor
(C ) decreases and the current in output inductor (L ) and output capacitor voltage (C ) are raised as
illustrated in Figure 4(a).
Mode 4:
When switch (S ) is in “OFF” condition, the current in magnetizing inductance (L ) of high
frequency transformer (T ) and output inductor (L ) begins to drop. This energy of high frequency
transformer is transmitted to the intermediary capacitor (C ), and as a result voltage across it raises. Diode
(D ) conducts during this mode and the output capacitor voltage (C ) increases as illustrated in Figure 4(b).
Mode 5:
This mode is DCM in order that the energy of high frequency transformer (T ) is fully released in
Figure 4(c). The intermediary capacitor (C ) and the output capacitor (C ) provide the energy to the output
inductor (L ) and the load, correspondingly. Therefore, the output capacitor voltage (C ) and intermediary
capacitor’s voltage (C ), are diminished, and the output inductor current (L ), boosts during this mode.
2.2. Control Loop Operation of BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter
In this research work, a Mamdani-type Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is built for the purpopse of
adjusting the Modulation Index of the output voltage controller with the intention of reducing the Peak Over
Shoot (POS), Peak Under Shoot (PUS), Settling Time (ST) and Starting Current (SC). Depending on the
distinction between actual and set converter voltage, FLC is devised to decide on the optimum Modulation
Index of the output voltage controller. The fuzzy systems are a kind of universal function approximators [21,
22]. The FLC is utilized as a nonlinear function approximator produce an appropriate transformation in the
Modulation Index of the output voltage controller with the intention of keeping the Peak Over Shoot (POS),
Peak Under Shoot (PUS), Settling Time (ST) and Starting Current (SC) minimum. Figure 5 demonstrates the
proposed converter based LED driver voltage control loop.
Fuzzy Based Voltage controller
In the process of fuzzy based voltage controller, two inputs are taken into account, specifically,
variation of actual and set converter voltage error(e) and delayed error (de).
There are five membership functions for both inputs (e) and (de) as shown in figure 6. By design,
there will be 25 rules. Triangular membership functions are taken into account for both inputs and output,
with the intention that the Modulation Index will be transformed easily.

Figure 6. Fuzzy Membership Functions
The non-linear mapping from the input to the output of FLC is done through the basis of trial and
error experience. Initially, the membership functions and fuzzy rules were formulated in simulation program
through trial-and-error method, in order that the converter output voltage can go after the command voltage
with enhanced dynamic performance. The error(e) and delayed error (de) during a sampling phase are
selected as inputs to the FLC which is given below:
e = setvoltage − actualvoltage
de = e(n) − e(n − 1)
Where e(n) and e (n −1) indicate the present and previous samples of converter output voltage,
correspondingly. Set voltage is kept as 90V.
The FLC is designed on the basis of observation of simulation results of the PI controller. Based on
the study of PI controller, the input and output range of the FLC is decided. The fuzzy rules are as follows.
FLC’s output (controlled error) is evaluated with the triangular carrier signal of frequency 5 KHz to generate
PWM pulse of switch S . The PWM pulse of switch S is totally out of phase of PWM pulse of switch S
which is clearly shown in Figure 5.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The performance of the Proposed BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter is simulated in a
MATLAB / Simulink environment using the Sim Power-System Toolbox. The proposed system is evaluated
based on the steady state performance and the dynamic performance of BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta
Converter and the achieved power quality indices obtained at ac mains. Moreover, the performance of the BL
Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter is compared with the conventional Bridged zeta converter.
Parameters such as supply voltage( ), supply current( ), Proposed Fuzzy based Converter
output voltage( − ), Fuzzy based Converter output Current ( − ), Fuzzy based Converter
output Power ( − ), of the BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter are evaluated to demonstrate its
proper functioning. The evaluation is based on the voltage ripples of the conventional Bridged Zeta converter
termed as ‘Vout Ripple-Exist’ and the proposed BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter which are termed as
‘ Ripple-Proposed’ in the simulated results.
Moreover, power quality indices such as power factor (PF), displacement power factor (DPF), and
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of supply current are analyzed for determining power quality at ac mains.
The specifications used for the simulations are given in Table 2.

3.1. Steady-State Performance
The steady-state behaviour of the proposed BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter fed LED driver
at rated condition is shown in Figure 7.
Supply voltage is considered as V _ 113.2V for the proposed LED lamp driver application. LED
lamp power and voltage are considered as 90 W and 90V respectively. So, the supply current attained is
I _ 1.682 A. The corresponding supply voltage and current waveforms are shown in Figure 7(a), (b).
Then, the proposed BL isolated interleaved zeta converter is used to control the output voltage. It is
a DCM type of converter. So, the converter output voltage is taken as feedback compared with rated output
voltage. Now, the pulse width will be adjusted based on the error value and the converter output voltage is
maintained constant. The converter output voltage and current waveforms are shown in Figure 7 (c) (d) (e).
The power factor of the proposed converter at rated condition is attained as 0.9954 which is near
unity. Now, the converter input power is measured by

3.2. Evaluation of PI and Fuzzy Controller
Figure 8 shows the performance comparison of the PI and fuzzy controller for the converter output
voltage response. The impact and the demerits of POS, PUS, ST and starting current problem are clearly
discussed in section 1. The reference voltage considered here is 90 V. It is observed from the figure that,
converter output voltage tuned by PI controller settles at 90 V with high POS and PUS with poor ST.
However, converter output voltage tuned by FLC settles at 90 V with minimum POS, PUS and ST.

Figure 8. PI and Fuzzy response of Converter Output Voltage
Figure 9. PI and Fuzzy response of Converter Output Voltage
The response of starting current is analysed in figure 9. The figure shows current response of PI and
FLC. It is clearly observed from the figure that, the current response tuned by the FLC produces less starting
current compared with the current response tuned by the PI controller. The above scenarios show the
improved efficiency of the FLC over the PI which is mainly due to proper tuning of modulation index.
3.3. Performance Evaluation under VDC Change (Brightness control)
The performance of the proposed BL isolated interleaved Zeta Converter is analyzed by varying dc
link voltage as shown in Figure 10. The voltage response of the proposed converter is analyzed by a sudden
change at 0.65 second from 90 V to 60 V. The actual voltage response (V ) of the proposed converter and
the rated output voltage are shown in the Figure 10 (a). Based on the voltage variation of the converter, the
output current response is in Figure 10 (b).

4. CONCLUSION
A new bridgeless ac-dc converter with a low input current ripple and lower conduction losses has
been proposed. This topology concentrates on the drawbacks of the conventional Zeta PFC converter through
the development of a new bridgeless topology. Bridgeless (BL) Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter-Fed LED
Lamp is proposed and it operated in various modes which provide significant performance. The performance
of the proposed system is evaluated based on the steady state performance and the dynamic performance of
BL Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter and the achieved power quality indices obtained at ac mains. The
converter voltage and current is maintained constant with varying dynamic response of LED Lamp driver. In
order to show the performance of the fuzzy controller, the proposed fuzzy based approach has been compared
with PI controller. The proposed system provides significant results in terms of settling time, peak overshoot
and peak under shoot for the fuzzy controller compared with PI controller.
