-LLC resonant frequency converter is basically a combo of series as well as parallel resonant ckt. For
LCC resonant converter it is associated with a disadvantage that, though it has two resonant frequencies, the
lower resonant frequency is in ZCS region[5]. For this application, we are not able to design the converter
working at this resonant frequency. LLC resonant converter existed for a very long time but because of
unknown characteristic of this converter it was used as a series resonant converter with basically a passive
(resistive) load. . Here, it was designed to operate in switching frequency higher than resonant frequency of the
series resonant tank of Lr and Cr converter acts very similar to Series Resonant Converter. The benefit of LLC
resonant converter is narrow switching frequency range with light load[6] . Basically, the control ckt plays a
very imp. role and hence 555 Timer used here provides a perfect square wave as the control ckt provides no
slew rate which makes the square wave really strong and impenetrable. The dead band circuit provides the
exclusive dead band in micro seconds so as to avoid the simultaneous firing of two pairs of IGBT’s where one
pair switches off and the other on for a slightest period of time. Hence, the isolator ckt here is associated with
each and every ckt used because it acts as a driver and an isolation to each of the IGBT is provided with one
exclusive transformer supply[3]. The IGBT’s are fired using the appropriate signal using the previous boards
and hence at last a high frequency rectifier ckt with a filtering capacitor is used to get an exact dc
waveform .The basic goal of this particular analysis is to observe the wave forms and characteristics of
converters with differently positioned passive elements in the form of tank circuits.

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.

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.

3. Oscillator
What is an Oscillator?
An oscillator is a circuit which produces a continuous, repeated, alternating
waveform without any input.
Oscillators basically convert unidirectional current flow from a DC source into
an alternating waveform which is of the desired frequency, as decided by its
circuit components.
The basic principle behind the working of oscillators can be understood by
analyzing the behavior of an LC tank circuit shown in Figure 1 below, which
employs an inductor L and a completely pre-charged capacitor C as its
components.
Here, at first, the capacitor starts to discharge via the inductor, which results in
the conversion of its electrical energy into the electromagnetic field, which can
be stored in the inductor.
Once the capacitor discharges completely, there will be no current flow in the
circuit.
8/28/2020 3
4. Contd..
8/28/2020 4
However, by then, the stored electromagnetic field would have generated a back-
emf which results in the flow of current through the circuit in the same direction as
that of before.
This current flow through the circuit continues until the electromagnetic field
collapses which result in the back-conversion of electromagnetic energy into
electrical form, causing the cycle to repeat.
However, now the capacitor would have charged with the opposite polarity, due to
which one gets an oscillating waveform as the output.
5. Contd..
However, the oscillations which arise due to the inter-conversion between the
two energy-forms cannot continue forever as they would be subjected to the
effect of energy loss due to the resistance of the circuit.
As a result, the amplitude of these oscillations decreases steadily to become
zero, which makes them damped in nature.
This indicates that in order to obtain the oscillations which are continuous and
of constant amplitude, one needs to compensate for the energy loss.
Nevertheless, it is to be noted that the energy supplied should be precisely
controlled and must be equal to that of the energy lost in order to obtain the
oscillations with constant amplitude.
8/28/2020 5
6. Contd..
This is because, if the energy supplied is more than the energy lost, then the
amplitude of the oscillations will increase (Figure 2a) leading to a distorted
output; while if the energy supplied is less than the energy lost, then the
amplitude of the oscillations will decrease (Figure 2b) leading to unsustainable
oscillations.
8/28/2020 6
7. Contd..
Practically, the oscillators are nothing but the amplifier circuits which are
provided with a positive or regenerative feedback wherein a part of the output
signal is fed back to the input (Figure 3).
Here the amplifier consists of an amplifying active element which can be a
transistor or an Op-Amp and the back-fed in-phase signal is held responsible to
keep-up (sustain) the oscillations by making-up for the losses in the circuit.
8/28/2020 7
8. Contd..
8/28/2020 8
Once the power supply is switched ON, the oscillations will be initiated in the
system due to the electronic noise present in it.
This noise signal travels around the loop, gets amplified and converges to a single
frequency sine wave very quickly.
The expression for the closed-loop gain of the oscillator shown in Figure 3 is
given as:
Where A is the voltage gain of the amplifier and β is the gain of the feedback
network. Here, if Aβ > 1, then the oscillations will increase in amplitude (Figure
2a); while if Aβ < 1, then the oscillations will be damped (Figure 2b).
9. Contd..
On the other hand, Aβ = 1 leads to the oscillations which are of constant
amplitude (Figure 2c).
In other words, this indicates that if the feedback loop gain is small, then the
oscillation dies-out, while if the gain of the feedback loop is large, then the
output will be distorted; and only if the gain of feedback is unity, then the
oscillations will be of constant amplitude leading to self-sustained oscillatory
circuit.
8/28/2020 9
10. Contd..
Type of Oscillator
There are many types of oscillators, but can broadly be classified into two main
categories – Harmonic Oscillators (also known as Linear Oscillators) and
Relaxation Oscillators.
In a harmonic oscillator, the energy flow is always from the active components
to the passive components and the frequency of oscillations is decided by the
feedback path.
Whereas in a relaxation oscillator, the energy is exchanged between the active
and the passive components and the frequency of oscillations is determined by
the charging and discharging time-constants involved in the process.
Further, harmonic oscillators produce low-distorted sine-wave outputs while the
relaxation oscillators generate non-sinusoidal (saw-tooth, triangular or square)
wave-forms.

considered i.e. based on the feedback mechanism, the shape of the output waveform,
etc.

Oscillators are a cheap and easy way to generate specific Frequency of a signal.
For example, an RC oscillator is used to generate a Low Frequency signal, an
LC oscillator is used to generate a High Frequency signal, and an Op-Amp
based oscillator is used to generate a stable frequency.
The frequency of oscillation can be varied by varying the component value with
potentiometer arrangements.

Square Wave Generator Circuit Diagram
The circuit for square wave generator using Op-Amp is shown in the figure
below.
8/28/2020 19
One capacitor is connected to the inverting
terminal of an op-amp with one pin connected to
ground, a resistor for charging and discharging
of the capacitor is also connected to the
inverting terminal to output.
One voltage divider is designed using two
resistors & is connected to output and ground at
the non-inverting pin.
20. Contd..
Working of Square Wave Generator Using Op-Amp 741
Let us assume the voltage at inverting terminal be V2 that equals to the voltage
across the capacitor. Also, let us assume voltage at non-inverting terminal be
V1.
The voltage difference between non-inverting and inverting terminal is referred
to as differential input voltage and is given by Vin.
At initial state when the capacitor is fully discharged, the voltage at inverting
pin will be zero, i.e. V2 = 0V
Therefore, input differential voltage (Vin) = V1-V2 = V1-0 = V1
When Vin is positive the output is also positive, at this instance, the capacitor
starts to charge through resistor R2 towards positive saturation voltage until V1
= V2.
8/28/2020 20
21. Contd..
When the voltage at the capacitor increases slightly more than the differential
voltage V1.Negative Vin = V1-V2 (V2>V1)
Then the output will be switched from positive saturation voltage to negative
saturation voltage.
In this instance, the capacitor starts to discharge through resistor R2 because V2
becomes greater than Vout. Again, after reaching V2 slightly less than V1 the
output will again switch to positive saturation voltage.
This process repeats again and again as a result square wave is generated.

27. Contd..
Working of the Op-Amp Based Triangular Wave Generator
First, let us assume that the capacitor is discharged.
This makes the inverting input terminal at a voltage lower compared to the non-
inverting input terminal.
This is half the supply voltage from the resistor divider network.
The output will go high till the capacitor voltage goes above half the supply
voltage.
At this point, the voltage at the inverting input is greater than the non-inverting
input.
Afterward, the output will go low that will discharge the capacitor.
Simultaneously, the 10K resistor acts as hysteresis.
8/28/2020 27
28. Contd..
When the output goes low, the voltage divider has a 1K and a 10K in parallel,
which decreases the overall resistance and reduces the reference (Vref) voltage.
The values of the hysteresis resistor which is 10K and the resistor divider
network both can be changed to increase or decrease the frequency.
Now the output of the Op-Amp is AC coupled to produce a signal that has an
equal positive and negative wave. This signal can easily be amplified.

30. Saw Tooth Wave Generation
In electronics, waveforms are mostly plotted against voltage and time.
The frequency and amplitude of the signal can vary according to the circuit.
There are many types of waveforms, like sine wave, square wave, triangular
wave, ramp wave, sawtooth wave etc.
We have already designed sine wave and square wave generator circuit.
Now, in this tutorial we will show you, how to design a sawtooth wave
generator circuit with adjustable gain and DC offset of the wave, using Op-
amp and 555 timer IC.
8/28/2020 30
31. Contd..
A Sawtooth waveform is a non-sinusoidal waveform, looks similar to a
triangular waveform.
This waveform is named sawtooth because it looks similar to the teeth of a saw.
Sawtooth waveform is different from triangular waveform because a triangular
wave have same rising and falling time while a sawtooth waveform rises from
zero to its maximum peak value and then quickly drops to zero.
Sawtooth waveform is used in filters, amplifier circuits, signal receivers etc.
It is also used for tone generation, modulation, sampling etc. An ideal Sawtooth
waveform is shown below:
8/28/2020 31
34. Contd..
Working of Sawtooth Generator Circuit
For generating a sawtooth waveform we have used 555 timer IC and LM358 Dual
Op-amp IC.
In this circuit, we are using transistor T1 as a controlled current source with
adjustable emitter and collector current.
Here the 555 Timer IC is used in astable mode.
The resistor R2 and R3 set up a bias voltage for biasing the base pin of the PNP
transistor T1. And, R1 is used for setting the emitter current which effectively sets
the collector current, and this constant current charges the capacitor C1 in a linear
way.

That’s why we receive a ramp output. By replacing R1 with a potentiometer
you can adjust the ramp speed.
By shorting the trigger, discharge and threshold pin of the 555 timer directly
with the capacitor C1, this allows the capacitor to charge and discharge Here,
the first op-amp O1 is working as a level shifting inverting buffer. As it’s an
inverting buffer the lower portion of the ramp will become the upper portion of
the inverted ramp.
Then, the output of this Op-amp is attached with the POT P1, which is used to
adjust the magnitude of the signal. Similarly, Op-amp O2 is used to adjust the
DC offset of the signal.

And, the output is taken form the output terminal of the Op-amp O2.
The first probe of the oscilloscope is connected to this output and the second
probe is connected to the trigger pulse, which is coming from the output
terminal of the 555 timer IC.
So after connecting both the probes of the oscilloscope, the output of the
sawtooth waveform will look as the image given below:

38. Schmitt Trigger
Schmitt Trigger or Regenerative Comparator Circuit
A Schmitt trigger circuit is also called a regenerative comparator circuit.
The circuit is designed with a positive feedback and hence will have a
regenerative action which will make the output switch levels.
Also, the use of positive voltage feedback instead of a negative feedback, aids
the feedback voltage to the input voltage, instead of opposing it.
The use of a regenerative circuit is to remove the difficulties in a zero-crossing
detector circuit due to low frequency signals and input noise voltages.
Shown below is the circuit diagram of a Schmitt trigger. It is basically an
inverting comparator circuit with a positive feedback.
8/28/2020 38
39. Contd..
The purpose of the Schmitt trigger is to convert any regular or irregular shaped
input waveform into a square wave output voltage or pulse.
Thus, it can also be called a squaring circuit.
8/28/2020 39
40. Contd..
As shown in the circuit diagram, a voltage divider with resistors Rdiv1 and
Rdiv2 is set in the positive feedback of the 741 IC op-amp.
The same values of Rdiv1 and Rdiv2 are used to get the resistance value Rpar =
Rdiv1||Rdiv2 which is connected in series with the input voltage. Rpar is used
to minimize the offset problems.
The voltage across R1 is fedback to the non-inverting input.
The input voltage Vi triggers or changes the state of output Vout every time it
exceeds its voltage levels above a certain threshold value called Upper
Threshold Voltage (Vupt) and Lower Threshold Voltage (Vlpt).
Let us assume that the inverting input voltage has a slight positive value. This
will cause a negative value in the output.
8/28/2020 40
41. Contd..
This negative voltage is fedback to the non-inverting terminal (+) of the op-amp
through the voltage divider.
Thus, the value of the negative voltage that is fedback to the positive terminal
becomes higher.
The value of the negative voltage becomes again higher until the circuit is
driven into negative saturation (-Vsat).
Now, let us assume that the inverting input voltage has a slight negative value.
This will cause a positive value in the output.
This positive voltage is fedback to the non-inverting terminal (+) of the op-amp
through the voltage divider.
8/28/2020 41
42. Contd..
Thus, the value of the positive voltage that is fedback to the positive terminal
becomes higher.
The value of the positive voltage becomes again higher until the circuit is
driven into positive saturation (+Vsat).
This is why the circuit is also named a regenerative comparator circuit.
When Vout = +Vsat, the voltage across Rdiv1 is called Upper Threshold
Voltage (Vupt). The input voltage, Vin must be slightly more positive than
Vupt inorder to cause the output Vo to switch from +Vsat to -Vsat.
When the input voltage is less than Vupt, the output voltage Vout is at +Vsat.
8/28/2020 42
44. Contd..
Upper Threshold Voltage, Vupt = +Vsat (Rdiv1/[Rdiv1+Rdiv2])
When Vout = -Vsat, the voltage across Rdiv1 is called Lower Threshold
Voltage (Vlpt).
The input voltage, Vin must be slightly more negaitive than Vlpt inorder to
cause the output Vo to switch from -Vsat to +Vsat. When the input voltage is
less than Vlpt, the output voltage Vout is at -Vsat.
8/28/2020 44
45. Contd..
Lower Threshold Voltage, Vlpt = -Vsat (Rdiv1/[Rdiv1+Rdiv2])
If the value of Vupt and Vlpt are higher than the input noise voltage, the
positive feedback will eliminate the false output transitions.
With the help of positive feedback and its regenerative behaviour, the output
voltage will switch fast between the positive and negative saturation voltages.

Hysteresis Characteristics
Since a comparator circuit with a positive feedback is used, a dead band
condition hysteresis can occur in the output.
When the input of the comparator has a value higher than Vupt, its output
switches from +Vsat to -Vsat and reverts back to its original state, +Vsat, when
the input value goes below Vlpt.
This is shown in the figure below. The hysteresis voltage can be calculated as
the difference between the upper and lower threshold voltages.
Vhysteresis = Vupt – Vlpt
Subsituting the values of Vupt and Vlpt from the above equations:

Applications of Schmitt Trigger
Schmitt trigger is mostly used to convert a very slowly varying input voltage into an
output having abruptly varying waveform occurring precisely at certain predetermined
value of input voltage.
Schmitt trigger may be used for all applications for which a general comparator is
used.
Any type of input voltage can be converted into its corresponding square signal wave.
The only condition is that the input signal must have large enough excursion to carry
the input voltage beyond the limits of the hysteresis range.
The amplitude of the square wave is independent of the peak-to-peak value of the
input waveform.

49. Window Detector
A window detector is a special type of comparator.
In this case, many comparators will be working in parallel, with different
reference voltages.
By noting the outputs from the different comparators, the range which contains
the input can be noted.
A typical window detector circuit is shown in Figure.
In this example, two non-inverting comparators are used.
The total voltage, 15 V, is divided into three equal voltage steps, with the help
of three equal resistances R.
Therefore, the voltage above one resistance will be + 5 V and the voltage above
two resistances will be + 10 V.
8/28/2020 49
51. Contd..
V x can be calculated from R 1 and R 2 and can be noted as a positive voltage.
Similarly V y can be noted as a negative voltage.
If input V i is less than 5 V, A 2 produces a output of ? V sat and A 1 also
produces a output of ? V sat.
In this state LED3 is forward biased and LED2 is not forward biased to the
sufficient extent, and LED1 is reverse biased.
Since forward biased LEDs will emit light, LED3 will glow and the other LEDs
will not.
If input V i is between 5 V and 10 V, A 2 produces an output of + V sat and A 1
produces an output of ? V sat. Under...

52. Sine Wave Generator
One of the popular methods of generating a sine wave with an operational
amplifier is to use the Wien bridge configuration.
The electronic circuit design is quite easy and it provides good overall
performance.
As the name implies, the op amp Wien bridge oscillator or generator is based
around the Wien bridge network.
This is a form of bridge circuit that was developed by Max Wien in 1891 and it
comprises four resistors and two capacitors.
The Wien bridge oscillator is one that has been around for many years, and it
finds applications in many areas as an audio oscillator, either using discrete
electronic components, or using operational amplifiers.

53. Contd..
As op amps are such easy electronic components to use, providing near perfect
operation, they are widely used in circuits like these.
The basic Wien Bridge circuit is shown below and as it can be seen from this.
8/28/2020 53
54. Contd..
The basic bridge circuit was used in many applications including the measuring
the value of capacitors where variable resistors and a known capacitor could be
used to determine the value of a capacitor, typically C1.
First let's take a look at the circuit from a qualitative viewpoint.
This helps explain the actual operation of the circuit and gives an understanding
of how it works.
8/28/2020 54
55. Contd..
From the diagram, it can be seen that the circuit can be split into two: a series
element of the Wien bridge, i.e. the series resistor and capacitor form a high
pass filter; and parallel capacitor resistor element form ing a low pass filter
from the line to ground.
In other words there is a series high pass filter and a parallel low pass filter.
The overall effect is that the combination of the two forms a selective second
order band pass filter which has quite a high Q factor and with a resonant
frequency of f0.
Looking at the network very simply, at zero frequency, the series low pass filter
consisting of the electronic components R1 and C1 will have an infinite
impedance because DC cannot pass through the capacitor.
8/28/2020 55
56. Contd..
Similarly at very high frequencies, the parallel circuit effect is dominated by the
virtually zero impedance of the capacitor - it virtually short circuits the output.
Between these frequencies there is is a point where the output reaches a
maximum - its "resonant frequency", F0.
At this resonant frequency, the reactance of the overall circuit equals its
resistance, that is: Xc = R, and the phase difference between the input and
output is zeros.
The magnitude of the output voltage at this maximum pint is equal to a third of
the input voltage.
It is also found that the phase shift in the network varies with frequency, cutting
though the axis at the resonant frequency, f0.
8/28/2020 56
58. Contd..
Looking at the circuit from a more mathematical viewpoint for electronic circuit
design.
The Wien bridge is particularly flexible and does not require equal values of the
electronic component values of R or C.
At some frequency, the reactance of the series R2–C2 arm will be an exact
multiple of the R1–C1 arm. If the two R3 and R4 arms are adjusted to the same
ratio, then the bridge will balance.
In terms of determining the balance frequency some simple equations can be
used.
8/28/2020 58
59. Contd..
8/28/2020 59
The electronic circuit design equations simplify if R1 = R2 and C1 = C1; the
result is R4 = 2 R3.
In practice, the values of the electronic components R1 / R2 and C1 / C2 will
never be exactly equal, but the equations above show that for fixed values in
these arms, the bridge will balance at some ω and some ratio of R4/R3.
60. Contd..
Op amp Wien bridge oscillator
For the eelctronic circuit design of a sine wave oscillator, the bridge can be used
within the feedback loop and the circuit oscillates at the balance point, i.e. the
"resonant point" of the network.
Also the very high input impedance levels and very low output impedance
levels of the operational amplifier mean that there is minimal loading on the
bridge elements, and this simplifies the electronic circuit design.
The Wien bridge oscillator can be considered as a positive gain amplifier
combined with a bandpass filter through which the positive feedback is applied.
As positive feedback is used, it is necessary to be able to limit the gain to avoid
undue distortion levels.
8/28/2020 60
61. Contd..
This is achieved in a number of ways by using automatic gain control,
intentional non-linearity and incidental non-linearity limit the output amplitude
and they can be used in different circuits in different ways.
The basic Wien bridge oscillator or generator circuit is shown below and
contains the elements of the bridge circuit wrapped around the operational
amplifier itself.
The positive gain amplifier and band-pass filter that provides positive feedback
can be seen within the circuit.

The elements of the bridge containing the capacitors are associated with the non-
inverting input and the purely resistive elements are associated with the inverting input.
For the circuit to oscillate analysis of the circuit reveals there must be a 180° phase
shift and this requires that the C1 = C2 and R1 = R2. Additionally Rf is typically set to
be 2 Rg. The frequency of oscillation can be determined from the simple equation:
63. Contd..
8/28/2020 63
One of the issues with this form of Wien bridge oscillator / generator circuit is the
level of distortion created.
If the value of Rf is increased (increasing the gain of the circuit), then it is found that
the level of distortion also increases as the operational amplifier runs into saturation
more.
One easy way of overcoming this that has been used in many instances is to replace
the resistor Rg with a small incandescent lamp or a thermistor.
The ratio of resistances Rf is set to remain at around 2Rg. This idea operates because
when the oscillator is first powered, the lamp is cool and the resistance is small.
64. Contd..
The current flowing through it is larger and the lamp or thermistor heats up,
thereby increasing its resistance which in turn causes the gain to fall and the
current to fall.
After a while an equilibrium point is reached and the oscillator will self-
regulate the gain and hence the distortion level.
