Abstract

Squirrel Cage Induction Motors are the widely used motors in Industries due to its simple construction, robust design and low operational costs. The utilization of Squirrel Cage Induction Motors with electronic inverters present greater advantages on cost and energy efficiency, compared with other industrial solutions for varying speed applications. The induction motor with inverters gives excellent speed torque control characteristics. In this paper, a transient behavior of a 3HP, 4 Pole, 50 Hz, 1430 rpm Squirrel Cage Induction Motor has been analyzed. The open and closed loop induction motor is fed Into Pulse Width modulation (PWM) inverter model developed in the recent Matlab/Simulink environment. The Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) variable speed drives are increasing these days and used in various industrial applications with superior performance. Since the developments in power electronics and semiconductor technology have led to improvements in power electronic systems, consequently variable voltage and variable frequency control is obtained by Voltage Source Inverters (VSC). In Induction motor drives, SPWM inverters make it possible to control both frequency and magnitude of the voltage and current applied to the motor. As a result, PWM inverter- powered motor drives are more variable and offer in a wide range better efficiency and higher performance when compared to the fixed frequency motor drives. These inverter fed-motors are recently gathering great popularity for multi-megawatt industrial drive applications. In this present paper, the open and closed loop induction motor fed with PWM inverter model has been discussed and focused on transient characteristics of the motor. The direct torque control method is used to control the induction motor in closed loop.

Abstract

This paper proposes the Sensorless Speed Control of Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM) using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Linear Speed and position of PMLSM is estimated using EKF. The mathematical model for PMLSM & EKF is established. The simulation model for sensor and sensor-less speed control of PMLSM using EKF is constructed using MATLAB/ SIMULINK. The linear motor speed and position are compared for both sensor and sensorless using EKF. It is observed that the estimated speed and position values are almost similar to actual values. Though it has disadvantages such as complex algorithm and larger matrix operations, sensorless speed control eliminates the requirement of mechanical sensor and hence reduces the drive cost and enhances reliability.

Abstract

Distribution system is the system which supplies electrical power from generating station to consumers. But the practical loads in the radial distribution systems are generally unbalanced in nature. For analysing the system condition and also to forecast the load, the study of power flows is essential. The presence of high R/X ratio of the distribution system poses a challenge to the convergence criteria of commercial load flows such as Newton Raphson Method, Gauss Seidel method and Fast Decoupled methods. For this type of systems, some changes have been incorporated in above methods so as to obtain better convergence which are named as modified Newton Raphson Method, modified Gauss Seidel Method and Forward/Backward Sweep Methods. The pre-assumption of flat node voltage is essential to carry out the load flow solution in all these methods. A new method has been proposed to determine the solution without any preassumptive flat node voltage and also the unbalanced system is modelled as a balanced system using symmetrical components. The solution is obtained by incorporating relationship between node currents and branch currents using a concept of Branch Incidence matrix and thereby eliminating the need for flat voltage profile. The proposed method has been presented in three sections. In First section 1 the formation of the branch incidence matrix by modelling of unbalanced Radial Distribution System comprising of transformers, switches, capacitors etc. using symmetrical components, In section 2 node voltages and power losses are calculated using branch incidence matrix and system parameters. Finally in section 3, the results obtained are compared with the existing methods. The proposed method is solved for three different unbalanced Radial Distribution Systems such as IEEE 13 node, 19 node and 25 node systems and the results are presented.

Abstract

This paper deals with the simulation of Cascaded Interleaved Buck Converter (IBC) with open source operation having low switching losses, less ripple and improved step-down conversion ratio, which is suitable for the application where the input voltage is high. A series of active switches with coupling capacitor are employed in the power circuit. This paper deals with Cuk, Sepic and Zeta converters. All active switches are only stressed with half of the input voltage before turning on or after turning off the proposed IBC. The capacitive discharging and switching losses can be reduced considerably to have higher efficiency, higher step-down conversion ratio, higher switching frequency and a smaller output ripple compared with a conventional IBC. The model of cascaded Interleaved buck converter system are presented.
