Measurements and Analysis of Electric Power Quality
Abstract: The ideal supply voltage is pure sinusoidal voltage with nominal frequency and nominal amplitude.Any variation from this is considered as a power quality event or a disturbance. One importantaspect in the field of power quality is monitoring and control of the qualitative parameters of theelectrical energy according to today’s standards. In that way, a big attention is paid to define thedisturbances and determination of procedures for their measurement. A large …

A Pseudo Randomly Triggered Integer Cycle Control (PRT-ICC) for AC Loads to Reduce THD, EMI and RFI
Abstract: Several proportional voltage control techniques exist for AC loads. The most popular of these are phase control (PC), cycle control (CC) (including integral cycle control (ICC) and fractional cycle control (FCC)) and pulse-width modulation (PWM)). Phase control utilizes triggering for loads away from zero voltage or zero current and generates odd harmonics with amplitudes higher than ICC and PWM. Integral cycle control, causes more harmonics (both even and odd) overall …

Advancing Grid Integration: Maximum Power Point Tracking-Based Model Predictive Current Control Technique for Photovoltaic Systems
Abstract: Tracking a PV system's maximum power point is necessary as demand for grid-connected solar systems rises, regardless of utility demand. Since the PV system's output is D.C., a converter serving as a middleman between the PV system and the D.C. link capacitor is necessary to track the maximum power at all loads. Since the firing angle of the IGBT in the boost converter is between 0 and 1 at maximum …

Case Study of Multipulse Converter System for IGBT Based Inverter in Induction Melting Furnace
Abstract: AbstractHarmonic mitigation is an important aspect for the smooth operation of modern power electronics converters, medical equipment, and home appliances which are generally fed by a common grid supply. In large power equipment such as induction furnaces, it becomes necessary to reduce or eliminate harmonics from the supply. In order to cater dynamic load cycle during complete melting cycles in induction furnaces, power needs to vary. This can be achieved …

A Study of Cycloconverter Gating Sequence and Control Strategy for Various Conversion Topology
Abstract: This paper presents the topology of direct conversion of AC-AC with step down frequency operation. Due to the higher order harmonics, AC conversion always faces difficulty and complex calculation, which affects the output response. Precise controlling and harmonics reduction is much easier using frequency control strategy. In this regards cycloconverter has drawn higher attention in terms of frequency conversion. In this paper, an approach for designing of single phase and …

A Review on Solar Multilevel Inverter for the Production of Free Energy Due to the Structure with Long-life Feature
Abstract: Multilevel inverters play a major role in medium voltage, high power and renewable applications. It is also used in certain applications where high switching frequency, and high output voltage gain are required. The switching transient period of a MOSFET should be minimal because a high dv/dt rate could result in permanent damage to the MOSFET. The harmonics present could cause many problems and so it has to be minimized. The …
