A space vector modulation (SVM) based hysteresis current controller (HCC) technique for a three phase shunt active power filter is proposed. The switching control algorithms of the proposed SVM based HCC manage to generate compensated current according to the reference current harmonics extraction is based on the instantaneous active and reactive power theorem in time domain by calculating the power compensation. A closed loop control system is implemented and the error current is the difference between the reference current obtained from the power compensation and the actual current that needs to be injected back into the line. By implementing this control strategy, the active power filter (APF) manages to generate better compensated harmonics currents to the line.

In recent years, researcher has developed many actuators with different configurations depending on application required. Linear actuator has become one of the most popular actuator used in industry especially in office automation and factory automation. Linear motor, which have a compact and simple structure are easy to control compare to rotational motor [Technical committee of IEEJ on small precision motor, 1991]. The advantages of linear actuator are small size, low power and high thrust. The thrust of linear motor can be applied on to the load without any mechanical loss as rotation motor. This paper presents on the basic principle of a linear DC actuator (LDA), the structure and the thrust generation. The derivation of thrust expression and calculation of thrust are discussed in detail. The reluctance of linkage flux is considered to achieve a good accuracy of calculation. The calculation result and the measurement are compared. As a result the calculation and measurement are in the good accuracy of calculation result.

This paper deals with a fundamental control issue in switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives - the torque ripples. Normally, torque ripple minimization is achieved by using a look-up table, i.e., the look-up table uses stored magnetic characteristics to provide the reference current. A number of techniques for the generation of reference current profiles that minimize the torque ripples have been suggested. But because of highly nonlinear characteristics of the SRM, all these schemes are not fully successful. Our work deals with a novel algorithm for generation of current waveforms by iterative modulation of the reference current pattern by using a gain for minimizing the torque ripple. This gain is computed with the aid of fuzzy logic, which is well suited to compensate for the nonlinearities of the system. Simple two-phase-on current scheme is used for the study. Performance of the proposed strategy is verified by simulation.

This paper proposes a base-three ratio for the selection of asymmetrical multilevel inverter voltage source. The advantage is the optimum output voltage quality for a particular power circuit configuration. The series H-bridges topology with four-cell per arm inverter has been investigated. This configuration conventionally forms a 9-level inverter when used in symmetrical multilevel inverter. However with the proposed voltage selection in asymmetrical multilevel inverter, the number of levels increases to 81. A lookup table-based controller has been designed and shown to provide high quality output voltage for a wide range of modulation index. Simulation has been conducted to show that the optimum output voltage quality has been produced. Examination of the switching signals reveals that the higher voltage cells operate at lower frequency. Investigation on the input currents of the inverter shows that the higher power H-bridge cells require unidirectional current if the load power factor is high enough.

One of the methods used to increase energy savings in air conditioning system is by varying the speed of the motor compressor. A neural network control based on scalar control model for variable speed induction motor compressor is proposed. The controller is used to generate the signals of the voltage and frequency reference control. This system can be used to minimize the input power required to the motor drive in steady state and transient change conditions. The proposed method is tested by MATLAB simulation.

Fuses have been produced over hundred of years and are in use throughout the world in large numbers. They are the common protective device for the over current protection. They perform the vital role of protecting electrical equipments and networks and ensure that the faults are removed in minimum time and the continuity of supply is maintained to consumers at high level. The fuses are also used to prevent the power electronic devices and circuit from damage. This paper experimentally determines the different fuse characteristics of a rewirable fuse in the saline water. Solder wire has been tested for fuse protection. The experimental setup has been designed to carry testing of fuse in different quenching media with different lengths of wires. The experimental results show that semiconductor devices can be protected with an ordinary rewirable solder wire fuse. The joule integral (I/sup 2/t) heating of solder wire is faster compared to costly semiconductor fuse with better fuse characteristics. The experimental results show, based on the I/sup 2/t of the device, that the solder wire with particular length and diameter can be used to replace the fast acting semiconductor fuse with negligible cost. These fuses can be used for experimental work where it could be easily replaced but for commercial use special casing can be designed to handle the problem of replacement after the fuse is blown. The new method of fuse design is suggested where a simple rewirable fuse with almost negligible cost that can protect the semiconductor devices. This project is to determine experimentally the different fuse characteristics of a rewirable fuse in the saline water, distilled water and oil. Three different diameters of fuse wire have been tested for fuse protection. The experimental setup has been designed to carry testing of fuse in different quenching media.

This paper presents different passive filter designs to mitigate harmonics in an industrial distribution system. The passive filters considered are the single tuned and double tuned harmonic filters. In the design of the filters, the passive elements of the filters are derived. Studies are made to investigate the effectiveness of using single and double tuned filters in reducing harmonic distortions and also to determine the optimal location of installing the filters. The effects of power factor correction capacitor and load parameters variation on harmonic distortion are also investigated. Simulation results show that the double tuned filter is more effective in reducing harmonics as compared to single tuned filters. The study also proves that both filters give better performance in reducing harmonics when they are placed close to the harmonic producing loads.

New computer algorithm has been developed to select the optimal location of source substation in radial distribution networks. Selection methodology has been developed based on the geo-graphical location of connected substation of source substation, user's defined obstacle area by determining minimal route of the networks based on minimal loss of the networks and economic consideration. For the best location selection of source substation two steps selection method has been implemented for minimizing computer computation time. In the first steps it determines the projected area for the selection of optimal location of source substation. In the seconds step precise calculation is involved. Depending on the precise calculation of area selection computation time will be varied. Simulated example has been introduced for detail explanation of the output of computer algorithms.
