    With the increased conversion of solar energy into electricity, the role of design engineers has increased to develop sophisticated, and efficient inverters for converting DC energy from the solar cell. In the field of inverter technology, numerous topologies have been developed in recent times, starting from conventional topologies like cascaded multilevel inverters to advanced hybrid inverters. Each topology has its limitation in terms of the number of voltage sources, switching devices, and other electrical passive components. One of the latest topologies that require a minimum number of power electronic switching components and voltage sources is a single-phase S3 inverter. The topology eliminates the need for filters. A single-phase S3 inverter has been extended to a three-phase S3 inverter to which a three-phase induction motor is connected. The switching pulses of the inverter have been obtained through the direct torque control method. The simulated results of the direct torque control method of the induction motor are presented, thus describing the fruitfulness of this inverter topology.

    The speed of separately excited DC Motor speed may be controlled above and below the rated value using DC-DC Converter. The desired speed can be achieved by applying proper DC voltage to the armature of the DC motor. The beauty of chopper is that it may provide variable DC voltage to the motor. The variable DC source is possible by properly firing the controlled power semi-conductor after receiving signal from the controller. The output of the controller is used to generate triggering pulses for the DC-DC converter circuit. The controller could be a PI, fuzzy logic or any other controller. The fuzzy logic provides faster control with no delay. In this research paper, the mathematical modelling of separately excited DC Motor is done. The speed of the motor is measured. The PI controller and fuzzy logic controller have been designed to minimize the error. After the simulation is carried out it is observed that fuzzy controller performed better than PI controller. The simulated results are presented.

    The resultant curve of the solar photovoltaic (PV) array relies on the arrangement of the Photovoltaic array, distribution of shading, and level of illumination. Detrimental shadowing cases and its contrary effects on the productivity of the PV system have inspired people doing research in the field of solar energy to do research and present suitable techniques to reduce the resultant power loss (PL) due to considered situation. In this paper, series-parallel (SP), total-cross-tied (TCT) PV array models are investigated under non-uniform irradiation/shadow test cases. For extensive comparative study, the Symmetric Matrix (SM) puzzle is introduced to rearrange the traditional TCT arrangement. All the SPV array configurations are tested during detrimental shadowing cases depending on the investigation of the circuit. Different performance parameters such as, short-circuit current (ISC), Open-circuit voltage (VOC), power and voltage locations at global maximum power point (GMPP), PL, fill factor (FF), power gain (PG) and analysis of shading factor (SF) are estimated with the help of the MATLAB/Simulink study.
  • Game Theory based PV Array Reconfiguration Methodology to Enhance Shade Dispersion Factor under PSCs: Experimental Analysis

    2022 2nd International Conference on Emerging Frontiers in Electrical and Electronic Technologies Icefeet 2022, 2022
    Photovoltaic (PV) array performance is reduced by shading causes, which can be avoided using a variety of methods for changing the connections between PV modules. This paper suggests a method to reduce the impacts of partial shading conditions (PSCs) on solar PV arrays, through the traditional configurations like SP, TCT, and through game puzzle arrangements like Su-Do-Ku and Sky - scraper setups, to make a 9×9 size array. In this paper, an exploration into conventional electrical strategies, namely series-parallel (SP) and total-cross-tied (TCT), is compared. Furthermore, the suggested algorithm can be used to set up Photovoltaic panels to maximize power throughout non-uniform irradiation rates. The findings of study are evaluated on the basis of power loss (PL) and fill factor (FF). The responsibility of demonstrating the productive results of the envisaged PV array setup falls on careful monitoring. This paper is helpful for educationists and scholars who are looking for new ways to lessen the partial shading consequence on PV arrays in order to achieve higher global maximum power point (GMPP).
  • Modulation index effect on inverter based induction motor drive
    Akhilesh Sharma, Anandh N., Sarsing Gao
    International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive Systems, 2020
    Due to a substantial increase in the use of inverter for numerous electrical appliances starting from domestics to industrial drives, an inverter may be directly connected to the power grid system. The dependency on an inverter has been increased over the years. Hence, the proper and efficient design of the inverter will lead to higher efficiency. One of the major challenges is the generation of suitable gate pulses for power switching devices, which in turn depends on the modulation index. The selection of proper modulation index will help in the production of the rated voltage. If the modulation index is less, the duration of on-time pulses will be less and hence, the device's conduction time is also less, thereby the output voltage of the inverter is reduced. A reduced voltage, when applied to an induction motor will have lower speed and even its performance will be sluggish. The speed of the motor improves when it is operated in a closed-loop for the same modulation index. This research paper tries to bring out the effect of modulation index on speed control of an induction motor based on an inverter for both open as well as closed-loop operation. The simulated results indicate that the modulation index in the vicinity to unity will provide rated voltage for the smooth operation of the motor.
