In grid connected PV systems, the elimination of isolation transformer introduces common
mode leakage current due to the parasitic capacitance between PV panels and the ground. The common
mode leakage current reduces the efficiency of power conversion stage, affects the quality of grid
current, deteriorate the electric magnetic compatibility and give rise to various safety threats. In order
to eliminate the leakage current, an improved transformer less topology with virtual DC bus concept is
proposed here. By connecting the grid neutral line directly to the negative pole of the DC bus, the stray
capacitance between the PV panels and the ground is bypassed. The topology consists of only five power
switches, two capacitors and the filter section. Therefore, the power electronics cost can be curtailed.
This advanced topology can be modulated with the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to reduce

Design of 4-stage Marx generator using gas discharge tubejournalBEEI
In this paper, a Marx generator voltage multiplier as an impulse generator made of multi-stage resistors and capacitors to generate a high voltage is proposed. In order to generate a high voltage pulse, a number of capacitors are connected in parallel to charge up during on time and then in series to generate higher voltage during off period. In this research, a 6kV Marx generator voltage multiplier is designed using gas discharge tube (GDT) as an electronic switch to breakdown voltage. The Marx generator circuit is designed to charge the storage capacitor for high impulse voltage and current generator applications. According to IEC 61000-4-5 class 4 standards, the storage capacitor must be charged up to 4 kV. The results show that the proposed Marx generator can produce voltages up to 6.8 kV. However, the storage capacitor could be charged up to 1 kV, instead of 4 kV in the standard. That is because the output impulse voltage has narrow time period.

Abstract
Inverters with transformers of conventional type, connected in PV grid-tied generation systems have now being replaced by transformerless inverters due to various reasons such as reduction in size, weight and cost, improvement in efficiency etc. Transformerless inverters cause a number of technical challenges in grid-connected PV systems, among which flow of leakage currents is a major problem. This leakage currents that flows between the parasitic capacitance of PV array and the grid has to be eliminated, which otherwise leads to serious safety problems. This paper deals with an H6 transformerless full- bridge inverter topology with low leakage currents that can be used in PV grid – tied applications. The operation modes for the proposed topology are discussed in this paper. A closed loop has been developed for maintaining the voltage constant at the grid side irrespective of changes in the input voltage. Aforementioned transformerless topology is simulated that validates the effectiveness of the converter. Keywords: Common-mode voltage, grid-connected inverter, leakage current, photovoltaic (PV), transformerless inverter.

Filter Based Solar Power Generation System with a Seven Level InverterIJMTST Journal
This paper proposes a new solar power generation system, which is composed of a DC/DC power converter and a new seven-level inverter. The DC/DC power converter integrates a DC-DC boost converter and a transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into two independent voltage sources with multiple relationships. This new seven-level inverter is configured using a capacitor selection circuit and a full-bridge power converter, connected in cascade. The capacitor selection circuit converts the two output voltage sources of DC-DC power converter into a three-level DC voltage and the full- bridge power converter further converts this three- level DC voltage into a seven-level AC voltage. In this way, the proposed solar power generation system generates a sinusoidal output current that is in phase with the utility voltage and is fed into the utility. The salient features of the proposed seven-level inverter are that only six power electronic switches are used and only one power electronic switch is switched at high frequency at any time.

costly alternatives, this paper presents the design and control of two threelevel Z-source inverters, whose output voltage can be stepped down or up
using only a single impedance network connected between the dc input source
and either a neutral-point-clamped (NPC) or dc-link cascaded inverter
circuitry.
This paper investigates the carrier based modulation schemes (SPWM and
Modified SVPWM) of three-level three phase Z-source inverters with either
two Z-source networks or single Z-source network connected between the dc
sources and inverter circuitry. With the proper offset added for achieving both
optimized harmonic performance and fundamental output voltage, the
proposed modulation schemes of three-level Z-source inverters can satisfy the
expected boost operation under unbalanced modulation conditions. The
Simulation has been performed through Matlab/Simulink and relative
simulation results with conventional method have been presented to validate
the proposed methodnsists of L and C components connected in an X fashion.
The firing control of the Z-source inverter includes the shoot through states. The Zsource inverter advantageously utilizes the shoot-through state to boost the DC bus
voltage by gating on both the upper and lower switches of a phase leg. Three-level
neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters, having many inherent advantages, are
commonly used as the preferred topology for medium voltage ac drives [1], and have
recently been explored for other low-voltage applications including grid-interfacing
power converters and high-speed drive converters [2], [3]. Despite their generally
favorable output performance, NPC inverters are constrained by their ability to
perform only voltage-buck operation with buck-boost energy conversion, usually
achieved by connecting various dc-dc boost converters to the front ends of the dc-ac
inverters. These two-stage solutions are usually more costly and can be harder to
control, since they involve more active and passive components. Offering a singlestage solution, [4], [5] propose the buck-boost Z-source NPC inverter, whose
topology is illustrated in Fig. 1 (can be viewed as an extension from the two-level Zsource inverter proposed in [6]).

This paper proposes a dynamic power decoupling DPD strategy for the three phase grid tied PV power system without increasing the dc link capacitance. Under normal condition, the interleaved boost converter will extract the maximum power point MPP from the PV array and the three phase inverter will inject the power to the grid. During the unbalanced grid fault scenario, the input power and current of the interleaved boost converter will be controlled by the proposed DPD to achieve the power decoupling capability as well as to eliminate the dc link voltage oscillation. The proposed work has been carried out in MATLAB, and the results are presented.

Comparative Evaluation of Generalized Multicell Impedance Source Inverter for...IJPEDS-IAES
Voltage-Source Inverter is limited by its only voltage step-down operation. In adding with extra boosting the flexibility is kept active for the number of semiconductors which is unchanged, voltage-type Z-source inverter was earlier proposed. This new class of inverter is generally less sensitive to electromagnetic noises. However, their boosting capabilities are anyhow less with high component stresses and poorer spectral performances caused by low modulation index ratios. Their boosting gains are, therefore, restricted in practice. To overcome these we use the generalized switched-inductor Z- source inverter is proposed, By comparing with PWM technique and SPWM technique, whose extra boosting abilities and other advantages have been verified in simulation analysis and experiment.

Transformerless DC-DC Converter Using Cockcroft-Walton Voltage Multiplier to ...IJERA Editor
In the present scenario the use of transformer for high voltages in converter circuit reduces the overall operating
efficiency due to leakage inductance and use of transformer also increases the operational cost. . Therefore the
proposed system is implemented with transformer less DC-DC converter so as to obtain high DC voltage with
the use of nine stage Cockcroft-Walton (CW) voltage multiplier. The proposed converter operates in CCM
(continuous conduction mode), so that the converter switch stress, the switching losses are reduced. The DC
voltage at the input of the proposed model is low and is boosted up by boost inductor (Ls) in DC-DC converter
stage and performs inverter operation. The number of stages in CW-voltage multiplier circuit is applied with
low input pulsating DC (AC Voltage) voltage where it is getting converted to high DC output voltage. The
proposed converter switches operates at two independent frequencies, modulating (fsm) andalternating (fsc)
frequency. The fsm operates at higher frequency of the output while the fsc operates at lower frequency of the
desired output voltage ripple and the output ripples can be adjusted by the switch Sc1 and Sc2. The regulation of
the output voltage is achieved by controlling the Duty ratio.The simulation is carried over by the MATLABSIMULINK.

Amazon products reviews classification based on machine learning, deep learni...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In recent times, the trend of online shopping through e-commerce stores and websites has grown to a huge extent. Whenever a product is purchased on an e-commerce platform, people leave their reviews about the product. These reviews are very helpful for the store owners and the product’s manufacturers for the betterment of their work process as well as product quality. An automated system is proposed in this work that operates on two datasets D1 and D2 obtained from Amazon. After certain preprocessing steps, N-gram and word embedding-based features are extracted using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), bag of words (BoW) and global vectors (GloVe), and Word2vec, respectively. Four machine learning (ML) models support vector machines (SVM), logistic regression (RF), logistic regression (LR), multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), two deep learning (DL) models convolutional neural network (CNN), long-short term memory (LSTM), and standalone bidirectional encoder representations (BERT) are used to classify reviews as either positive or negative. The results obtained by the standard ML, DL models and BERT are evaluated using certain performance evaluation measures. BERT turns out to be the best-performing model in the case of D1 with an accuracy of 90% on features derived by word embedding models while the CNN provides the best accuracy of 97% upon word embedding features in the case of D2. The proposed model shows better overall performance on D2 as compared to D1.

In this study, a microstrip patch antenna that works at 3.6 GHz was built and tested to see how well it works. In this work, Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 has been used as the substrate material, with a dielectric permittivity of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.3451 mm; it serves as the base for the examined antenna. The computer simulation technology (CST) studio suite is utilized to show the recommended antenna design. The goal of this study was to get a more extensive transmission capacity, a lower voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and a lower return loss, but the main goal was to get a higher gain, directivity, and efficiency. After simulation, the return loss, gain, directivity, bandwidth, and efficiency of the supplied antenna are found to be -17.626 dB, 9.671 dBi, 9.924 dBi, 0.2 GHz, and 97.45%, respectively. Besides, the recreation uncovered that the transfer speed side-lobe level at phi was much better than those of the earlier works, at -28.8 dB, respectively. Thus, it makes a solid contender for remote innovation and more robust communication.

In this paper, snake optimization algorithm (SOA) is used to find the optimal gains of an enhanced controller for controlling congestion problem in computer networks. M-file and Simulink platform is adopted to evaluate the response of the active queue management (AQM) system, a comparison with two classical controllers is done, all tuned gains of controllers are obtained using SOA method and the fitness function chose to monitor the system performance is the integral time absolute error (ITAE). Transient analysis and robust analysis is used to show the proposed controller performance, two robustness tests are applied to the AQM system, one is done by varying the size of queue value in different period and the other test is done by changing the number of transmission control protocol (TCP) sessions with a value of ± 20% from its original value.

Improving the detection of intrusion in vehicular ad-hoc networks with modifi...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless-equipped vehicles that form networks along the road. The security of this network has been a major challenge. The identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) previously used to secure the networks suffers from membership authentication security features. This paper focuses on improving the detection of intruders in VANETs with a modified identity-based cryptosystem (MIBC). The MIBC is developed using a non-singular elliptic curve with Lagrange interpolation. The public key of vehicles and roadside units on the network are derived from number plates and location identification numbers, respectively. Pseudo-identities are used to mask the real identity of users to preserve their privacy. The membership authentication mechanism ensures that only valid and authenticated members of the network are allowed to join the network. The performance of the MIBC is evaluated using intrusion detection ratio (IDR) and computation time (CT) and then validated with the existing IBC. The result obtained shows that the MIBC recorded an IDR of 99.3% against 94.3% obtained for the existing identity-based cryptosystem (EIBC) for 140 unregistered vehicles attempting to intrude on the network. The MIBC shows lower CT values of 1.17 ms against 1.70 ms for EIBC. The MIBC can be used to improve the security of VANETs.
Conceptual model of internet banking adoption with perceived risk and trust f...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Understanding the primary factors of internet banking (IB) acceptance is critical for both banks and users; nevertheless, our knowledge of the role of users’ perceived risk and trust in IB adoption is limited. As a result, we develop a conceptual model by incorporating perceived risk and trust into the technology acceptance model (TAM) theory toward the IB. The proper research emphasized that the most essential component in explaining IB adoption behavior is behavioral intention to use IB adoption. TAM is helpful for figuring out how elements that affect IB adoption are connected to one another. According to previous literature on IB and the use of such technology in Iraq, one has to choose a theoretical foundation that may justify the acceptance of IB from the customer’s perspective. The conceptual model was therefore constructed using the TAM as a foundation. Furthermore, perceived risk and trust were added to the TAM dimensions as external factors. The key objective of this work was to extend the TAM to construct a conceptual model for IB adoption and to get sufficient theoretical support from the existing literature for the essential elements and their relationships in order to unearth new insights about factors responsible for IB adoption.
Efficient combined fuzzy logic and LMS algorithm for smart antennaTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The smart antennas are broadly used in wireless communication. The least mean square (LMS) algorithm is a procedure that is concerned in controlling the smart antenna pattern to accommodate specified requirements such as steering the beam toward the desired signal, in addition to placing the deep nulls in the direction of unwanted signals. The conventional LMS (C-LMS) has some drawbacks like slow convergence speed besides high steady state fluctuation error. To overcome these shortcomings, the present paper adopts an adaptive fuzzy control step size least mean square (FC-LMS) algorithm to adjust its step size. Computer simulation outcomes illustrate that the given model has fast convergence rate as well as low mean square error steady state.

Wavelet-based sensing technique in cognitive radio networkTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio is a smart radio that can change its transmitter parameter based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. The demand for frequency spectrum is growing due to a big data issue as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are in the network. Based on previous research, most frequency spectrum was used, but some spectrums were not used, called spectrum hole. Energy detection is one of the spectrum sensing methods that has been frequently used since it is easy to use and does not require license users to have any prior signal understanding. But this technique is incapable of detecting at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Therefore, the wavelet-based sensing is proposed to overcome this issue and detect spectrum holes. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of wavelet-based sensing and compare it with the energy detection technique. The findings show that the percentage of detection in wavelet-based sensing is 83% higher than energy detection performance. This result indicates that the wavelet-based sensing has higher precision in detection and the interference towards primary user can be decreased.
A novel compact dual-band bandstop filter with enhanced rejection bandsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, we present the design of a new wide dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) using nonuniform transmission lines. The method used to design this filter is to replace conventional uniform transmission lines with nonuniform lines governed by a truncated Fourier series. Based on how impedances are profiled in the proposed DBBSF structure, the fractional bandwidths of the two 10 dB-down rejection bands are widened to 39.72% and 52.63%, respectively, and the physical size has been reduced compared to that of the filter with the uniform transmission lines. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) simulation support the obtained analytical response and show an improved frequency behavior.
Deep learning approach to DDoS attack with imbalanced data at the application...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is where one or more computers attack or target a server computer, by flooding internet traffic to the server. As a result, the server cannot be accessed by legitimate users. A result of this attack causes enormous losses for a company because it can reduce the level of user trust, and reduce the company’s reputation to lose customers due to downtime. One of the services at the application layer that can be accessed by users is a web-based lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) service that can provide safe and easy services to access directory applications. We used a deep learning approach to detect DDoS attacks on the CICDDoS 2019 dataset on a complex computer network at the application layer to get fast and accurate results for dealing with unbalanced data. Based on the results obtained, it is observed that DDoS attack detection using a deep learning approach on imbalanced data performs better when implemented using synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) method for binary classes. On the other hand, the proposed deep learning approach performs better for detecting DDoS attacks in multiclass when implemented using the adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) method.
The appearance of uncertainties and disturbances often effects the characteristics of either linear or nonlinear systems. Plus, the stabilization process may be deteriorated thus incurring a catastrophic effect to the system performance. As such, this manuscript addresses the concept of matching condition for the systems that are suffering from miss-match uncertainties and exogeneous disturbances. The perturbation towards the system at hand is assumed to be known and unbounded. To reach this outcome, uncertainties and their classifications are reviewed thoroughly. The structural matching condition is proposed and tabulated in the proposition 1. Two types of mathematical expressions are presented to distinguish the system with matched uncertainty and the system with miss-matched uncertainty. Lastly, two-dimensional numerical expressions are provided to practice the proposed proposition. The outcome shows that matching condition has the ability to change the system to a design-friendly model for asymptotic stabilization.

Many systems, including digital signal processors, finite impulse response (FIR) filters, application-specific integrated circuits, and microprocessors, use multipliers. The demand for low power multipliers is gradually rising day by day in the current technological trend. In this study, we describe a 4×4 Wallace multiplier based on a carry select adder (CSA) that uses less power and has a better power delay product than existing multipliers. HSPICE tool at 16 nm technology is used to simulate the results. In comparison to the traditional CSA-based multiplier, which has a power consumption of 1.7 µW and power delay product (PDP) of 57.3 fJ, the results demonstrate that the Wallace multiplier design employing CSA with first zero finding logic (FZF) logic has the lowest power consumption of 1.4 µW and PDP of 27.5 fJ.
Evaluation of the weighted-overlap add model with massive MIMO in a 5G systemTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The flaw in 5G orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) becomes apparent in high-speed situations. Because the doppler effect causes frequency shifts, the orthogonality of OFDM subcarriers is broken, lowering both their bit error rate (BER) and throughput output. As part of this research, we use a novel design that combines massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and weighted overlap and add (WOLA) to improve the performance of 5G systems. To determine which design is superior, throughput and BER are calculated for both the proposed design and OFDM. The results of the improved system show a massive improvement in performance ver the conventional system and significant improvements with massive MIMO, including the best throughput and BER. When compared to conventional systems, the improved system has a throughput that is around 22% higher and the best performance in terms of BER, but it still has around 25% less error than OFDM.

For this purpose, firstly, a fan blade type antenna design will be made, and then the reflective surface of this antenna will be completed to the shape of the reflective surface of the antenna with the cosecant-square radiation characteristic with the frequency selective surface designed to provide the characteristics suitable for the purpose. The frequency selective surface designed and it provides the perfect transmission as possible at 4 GHz operating frequency, while it will act as a band-quenching filter for electromagnetic waves at 5 GHz operating frequency and will be a reflective surface. Thanks to this frequency selective surface to be used as a reflective surface in the antenna, a fan blade type radiation characteristic at 4 GHz operating frequency will be obtained, while a cosecant-square radiation characteristic at 5 GHz operating frequency will be obtained.

In place of the commercial Pt electrode used in quantum sensitized solar cells, the low-cost CuS cathode is created using electrophoresis. High resolution scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the structure and morphology of structural cubic samples with diameters ranging from 40 nm to 200 nm. The conversion efficiency of solar cells is significantly impacted by the calcination temperatures of cathodes at 100 °C, 120 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C under vacuum. The fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)/CuS cathode electrode reached a maximum efficiency of 3.89% when it was calcined at 120 °C. Compared to other temperature combinations, CuS nanoparticles crystallize at 120 °C, which lowers resistance while increasing electron lifetime.

A progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme lea...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This article discusses the progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (PSTOS-ELM). PSTOS-ELM can save robust accuracy while updating the new data and the new class data on the online training situation. The robustness accuracy arises from using the householder block exact QR decomposition recursive least squares (HBQRD-RLS) of the PSTOS-ELM. This method is suitable for applications that have data streaming and often have new class data. Our experiment compares the PSTOS-ELM accuracy and accuracy robustness while data is updating with the batch-extreme learning machine (ELM) and structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (STOS-ELM) that both must retrain the data in a new class data case. The experimental results show that PSTOS-ELM has accuracy and robustness comparable to ELM and STOS-ELM while also can update new class data immediately.
Electroencephalography-based brain-computer interface using neural networksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This study aimed to develop a brain-computer interface that can control an electric wheelchair using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. First, we used the Mind Wave Mobile 2 device to capture raw EEG signals from the surface of the scalp. The signals were transformed into the frequency domain using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and filtered to monitor changes in attention and relaxation. Next, we performed time and frequency domain analyses to identify features for five eye gestures: opened, closed, blink per second, double blink, and lookup. The base state was the opened-eyes gesture, and we compared the features of the remaining four action gestures to the base state to identify potential gestures. We then built a multilayer neural network to classify these features into five signals that control the wheelchair’s movement. Finally, we designed an experimental wheelchair system to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate that the EEG classification was highly accurate and computationally efficient. Moreover, the average performance of the brain-controlled wheelchair system was over 75% across different individuals, which suggests the feasibility of this approach.
Adaptive segmentation algorithm based on level set model in medical imagingTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
For image segmentation, level set models are frequently employed. It offer best solution to overcome the main limitations of deformable parametric models. However, the challenge when applying those models in medical images stills deal with removing blurs in image edges which directly affects the edge indicator function, leads to not adaptively segmenting images and causes a wrong analysis of pathologies wich prevents to conclude a correct diagnosis. To overcome such issues, an effective process is suggested by simultaneously modelling and solving systems’ two-dimensional partial differential equations (PDE). The first PDE equation allows restoration using Euler’s equation similar to an anisotropic smoothing based on a regularized Perona and Malik filter that eliminates noise while preserving edge information in accordance with detected contours in the second equation that segments the image based on the first equation solutions. This approach allows developing a new algorithm which overcome the studied model drawbacks. Results of the proposed method give clear segments that can be applied to any application. Experiments on many medical images in particular blurry images with high information losses, demonstrate that the developed approach produces superior segmentation results in terms of quantity and quality compared to other models already presented in previeous works.
Automatic channel selection using shuffled frog leaping algorithm for EEG bas...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disorder that necessitates comprehensive treatment of both the body and mind. It is categorized as a brain disorder due to its impact on the brain. Various methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) can capture brain activities and structures. EEG signals provide valuable insights into neurological disorders, including drug addiction. Accurate classification of drug addiction from EEG signals relies on appropriate features and channel selection. Choosing the right EEG channels is essential to reduce computational costs and mitigate the risk of overfitting associated with using all available channels. To address the challenge of optimal channel selection in addiction detection from EEG signals, this work employs the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). SFLA facilitates the selection of appropriate channels, leading to improved accuracy. Wavelet features extracted from the selected input channel signals are then analyzed using various machine learning classifiers to detect addiction. Experimental results indicate that after selecting features from the appropriate channels, classification accuracy significantly increased across all classifiers. Particularly, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier combined with SFLA demonstrated a remarkable accuracy improvement of 15.78% while reducing time complexity.

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

2. PV System Modelling
A photovoltaic (PV) cell unit or photoelectric cell unit is a power semiconductor device
that exchanges light energy source to electrical energy source by PV effect condition [10]. If the
energy source of photon of light is greater to the band gap subsequently the electron is
unrestricted and the electron flow generates current source. Nevertheless a photovoltaic cell
unit is divergent from a photodiode unit [11]. In a photodiode unit light source falls on n-channel
semiconductor junction point and obtain renewed into current or voltage signal but a
photovoltaic cell unit is forever forward biased condition [12], [13]. Figure 1 shows PV array
modelling circuit
Figure 1. PV array modelling circuit
A PV array unit contains of abundant photovoltaic cells in series connections and
parallel connections. Series associated schemes are responsible for escalating the voltage of
the system while the parallel connected schemes are accountable for escalating the current in
the system [15]. In generally a solar cell scheme can be premeditated by a current source and
an inverted diode allied in parallel to system. It has its own series resistance and parallel
resistance to progress the system voltage and current [16]. Series resistance is due to
obstruction in the path of electrons flow from n-channel semiconductor to p-channel
semiconductor junction point and parallel resistance is due to the leakage current, the system
output current from the photovoltaic array unit depends on,

In instruct to representation the solar panel unit, it necessitates two diode scheme
models but in the projected performance, it is inadequate to the single diode model. Also, the
shunt resistance is very elevated and can be deserted during the path of the discussion [13].
3. 3-level Z-source NPC Inverter
The neutral point clamped multilevel inverter has expanded greatly additional
concentration in modern years and is extensively established by researchers today, which is
also called as diode clamped multilevel inverter. It generates staircase output volatege levels,
which is depends on dc link capacitors. Figure 2 shows circuit of single phase 3-level z-source
NPC inverter
Figure 2. Circuit of single phase 3-level z-source NPC inverter
Generally when using transformer for synchronising 2 systems, which leads to more
cost, bulky in size and more leakage current, these are evading by the use of coupled inductor,
which can do the same function of transformer.
a. Modes of operation
Single phase 3-level z-source neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter with PV system can
be operated using shoot through and non shoot through condition. While using shoot through
condition, the output voltage can be boosted 2 times of applied input voltage.
b. Non shoot through condition
The operation of single phase 3-level z-source neutral point clamped during non shoot
through condition its acting as typical NPC inverter. During this process the output voltage of
inverter is less than the input voltage.
The inverter can operate in 3 differnet switching conditions like when top 2 switches are
ON the output voltage Vo=+Vdc/2, when bottom 2 switches are ON the output voltage Vo=-
Vdc/2 and when middle 2 switches are ON the output voltage Vo=0, which is shown in Figure
3a, 3b & 3c respectively and Modes of operation during non shoot through conditions are shown
in Table 1.

Different Modes Switches Position Output voltage (Vo)
Mode 1 S1, S2 ON & S3,S4 OFF Vo=+Vdc/2
Mode 2 S3, S4 ON & S1,S2 OFF Vo=-Vdc/2
Mode 3 S2, S3 ON & S1, S4 OFF Vo=0

c. Shoot through condition
The main disadvantage of traditional 3-level NPC inverter is all switches placed in a leg
cannot switched ON simultaneously. But during shoot through condition, all the switches in a leg
can be switched ON with damaging any power semiconductor switches. The input supply will
cut off, when the diode is reverse biased condition and at this time the capacitor and inductor
placed in z-source network starts to discharging.
Then during next mode both input source and capacitor charged voltages adding to
boost the output voltage of the inverter circuit. The shoot through states of single phase 3-level
NPC inverter has operated in 3 modes of operation, in that when all switches S1, S2, S3 & S4
are switched ON (full shoot through), when top 3 switches S1, S2 & S3 are switched ON (upper
shoot through) and when lower 3 switches S2, S3 & S4 are switched ON (lower shoot through),
which is shown in Figure 4a, 4b & 4c respectively. Modes of operation during shoot through
condition is shown in Table 2.

4. Sinusoidal PWM (SPWM)
Among various pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes sinusoidal Pulse Width
Modulation (SPWM) method is one of the method to control power semiconductor devices,
which engender the switching pulses by evaluating the reference signals (sinusoidal) with
carrier signals (triangular). At this point the sinusoidal waveform perform as reference signal and
triangular waveform perform as carrier waveform, by comparing these above two signals the
obligatory switching pulses created. Every switching pulse thickness assorted direct
proportionally to the amplitude of the sinusoidal wave measured at the interior of the equivalent
pulse is shown in Figure 5.
The output frequency (fo) of the Z-source inverter can be ascertain by using the
frequency of the reference signal (fr). The rms output voltage (Vo) can be inhibited by
modulation index (M) and in turn modulation index is controlled by peak amplitude (Ar). The
voltage can be embarrassed by the generate gating pulses from the controller. The number of
pulses per half cycle depends on the carrier frequency.
