In this paper, a Voltage Multiplier (VM) converter configuration has been designed for high Power PFC application, ensuring reduced losses and high system efficiency.The conventional PFC system is improved with adding VM circuit configuration that enhances the static gain features with moderate duty ratio (D), and hence, the reverse recovery (RR) issue is resolved. The VM section inherently adds two main specific features of clamping behavior and ZCS phenomenon to the PFC system. An experimental prototype of 2 kW, 600 V VM PFC converter configuration is designed and its effectiveness is validated under low line input of 100 V , operating at a high duty ratio, D = 0:67. The Real-Time Interface (RTI) feature of dSPACE1104 and MATLAB/Simulink are used to give the control signal for the verification of the system. Always, less than half of the output voltage (300 V ) appears across the switches of the converter, hence, voltage stress of the switch is minimized. Also, ZCS phenomenon is evident during switching commutations due to the snubber circuit behavior of the resonant tank, included in the proposed PFC converter. Hence, the overall system efficiency is improved. Furthermore, higher system efficiency is maintained for different rating which has been tested in this research work.
本文为大功率 PFC 应用设计了一种电压倍增器(VM)转换器配置,可确保降低损耗和提高系统效率。传统的 PFC 系统通过添加 VM 电路配置进行了改进,在适度占空比(D)的情况下增强了静态增益特性,从而解决了反向恢复(RR)问题。VM 部分在本质上为 PFC 系统增加了箝位行为和 ZCS 现象两大特殊功能。我们设计了一个 2 kW、600 VM PFC 转换器配置的实验原型,并在 100 V 低线路输入、高占空比 D = 0:67 条件下对其有效性进行了验证。dSPACE1104 的实时接口 (RTI) 功能和 MATLAB/Simulink 被用来为系统验证提供控制信号。转换器开关上的电压始终低于输出电压(300 V)的一半,因此开关的电压应力最小。此外,由于谐振槽的缓冲电路行为,在开关换向期间,ZCS 现象也很明显。因此,整个系统的效率得到了提高。此外,在本研究工作中测试的不同额定值下,都能保持较高的系统效率。

The short circuit is among one of the most dangerous electrical faults in induction motor, which leads to serious implications on the motor operation and its performances. The present paper deals with the influence of the stator short circuit fault in its early stage in terms of performances and service continuity of an electric vehicle (EV) using dual induction motor’s structure piloted by Backstepping control. An equivalent induction motor model with turn-to-turn fault on one stator phase, without already assuming the temperature effect through an intrinsic model, is investigated and thereafter its impacts on electric vehicle performance using simulation tests are presented and discussed.

This study presents different approaches to increase the sensing area of NiO based semiconducting metal oxide gas sensors. Micro- and nanopatterned laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are generated on silicon and Si/SiO2 substrates. The surface morphologies of the fabricated samples are examined by FE SEM. We select the silicon samples with an intermediate Si3N4 layer due to its superior isolation quality over the thermal oxide for evaluating the hydrogen and acetone sensitivity of a NiO based test sensor.

Existing distribution networks were not designed with large-scale electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in mind. Integrating EV charging stations with the distribution grid might lead to power quality (PQ) issues at the point of common coupling (PCC). This work proposes a two-mode, unit template-based synchronous reference frame hysteresis current-controlled (SRF-HCC) three-phase Level 2 EV charger. Mode one focuses on charging the EV battery from the grid (G2V) and utilizes current and voltage control techniques to enhance battery life and performance. Whereas mode two enables the EV’s stored energy to be discharged to the grid (V2G) by the EV user, allowing the sale of power to support the transient effect of the grid voltage and frequency and enhancing the grid’s PQ. The HCC generates switching pulses for both the AC-DC and buck-boost converters. The SRF-based unit template-based control (SRF-UTC) method ensures system stability, voltage, and frequency regulation for power exchange with the grid by combining its efficiency with that of the HCC. The EV charger proposal comprises three primary components: a 3-phase bidirectional AC-DC converter, a bidirectional buck-boost converter, and a filter circuit. The proposed system was modeled using MATLAB/Simulink and evaluated in two case studies to assess its performance.

This study investigates the crucial process of cleaning cold field emission electron emitters and scanning tunnel microscopy (STM) probes, particularly focusing on tungsten tips. The cleanliness of these tips is essential for maintaining optimal cathode properties, preventing impurities that can significantly affect the emission process. Various cleaning methods, including macroetching, ammonia cleaning, and hydrofluoric acid (HF) cleaning were explored and compared by scanning electron microscopy. The macroetching method, involving a mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and hydrogen fluoride, proved to be too reactive, causing significant material removal and altering the tip’s structure. Ammonia cleaning did not significantly improve or harm the samples. However, oxide islands appeared in some areas, suggesting the potential formation of ammonium tungsten oxide. HF cleaning, specifically at 20% and 50% concentrations, demonstrated effectiveness in removing tungsten oxides without damaging the tip. Pre-cleaning with water and ethanol proved beneficial for subsequent HF refinement. Results suggest that HF is the most suitable method for oxide removal but a rinse with water is essential for removing residual sodium hydroxide. To maintain optimal properties, it is crucial to apply a less reactive layer quickly or transfer the tips to a water/ethanol bath to prevent oxidation.

The article explores the compact emulation of the inverse memristor through a circuit-based approach. It introduces a floating emulator architecture that incorporates a dual output OTA (Operation Transconductance Amplifier) and DVCC (Differential Voltage Current Conveyor), along with two grounded passive elements, to achieve the emulation of an inverse memristor. The utilization of grounded resistance allows for tunability over the realized behaviour. A key contribution of this research is the novel application of the inverse memristor to extend the operating frequency range of any memristor emulator circuit. Validation of the proposed emulator circuit, in both incremental and decremental modes, along with its application, is conducted using PSPICE-generated simulation results in the 0.18 µm TSMC CMOS technology. Additionally, an inverse memristor emulator configuration employing the IC LM13700 is presented, and its functionality is tested through a breadboard implementation.

Home battery has become more and more popular in which the AC battery is a trending product along with the AC-coupled system. The energy conversion of an AC battery commonly consists of a two-stage power converter to flexibly connect to the wide-range input battery voltage and different grid or load types. This study specifically concentrates on the DC/DC stage which plays an important role in transferring power with the battery. In addressing the need for isolation, bidirectional power flow, and limited battery current ripple, the Current-fed Dual Active Bridge (CFDAB) structure is chosen for this stage. This paper presents a comprehensive design for the CFDAB converter for an AC battery application, especially a technical solution focusing on zero voltage switching is applied to increase the efficiency of the converter. Finally, an experimental prototype is carried out to validate the performance of the CFDAB converter in both two modes of the power flow.

This article proposes an adaptive Kernel-Hebbian least mean square (KHLMS) controller for a dual voltage source inverter (VSI). The recommended topology consists of a distributed energy resource (DER) supported VSI called main VSI (MVSI) and split capacitor supported VSI termed as auxiliary VSI (AVSI). Both the MVSI and AVSI are used to serve the shunt compensation when DER is not integrated with MVSI. The DER scenario is considered to suppress the active power flow shortage in the utility grid. Here, optimal active power flow control (OAPFC) is managed by MVSI and shunt compensation is achieved by AVSI during DER operated mode. Hence, a dual VSI based distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) facilitates the configuration merits such as reduction in system downtime cost, filter rating switching stress etc. Supremacy of both the neural network (NN) based controller and topology is presented by comparing VSI (called AVSI) in the context of harmonic reduction in source side, voltage balancing, power factor (PF) enhancement, better voltage regulation and OAPFC. The experimental results are obtained through field programmable gate array (FPGA) based hardware units which exhibit radical improvement in the power quality (PQ) conferring as per the international standard grid code (IEEE-519-2017).
本文为双电压源逆变器(VSI)提出了一种自适应核-赫比最小均方(KHLMS)控制器。推荐的拓扑结构包括一个由分布式能源资源(DER)支持的 VSI,称为主 VSI(MVSI),以及由分路电容器支持的 VSI,称为辅助 VSI(AVSI)。当 DER 未与 MVSI 集成时,MVSI 和 AVSI 均用于并联补偿。DER 方案用于抑制公用电网的有功功率流短缺。在此,有功功率流控制(OAPFC)由 MVSI 管理,而并联补偿则由 AVSI 在 DER 运行模式下实现。因此,基于双 VSI 的配电静态补偿器(DSTATCOM)具有配置便利的优点,如降低系统停机成本、滤波器额定开关压力等。通过比较 VSI(称为 AVSI)在减少源侧谐波、电压平衡、提高功率因数 (PF)、改善电压调节和 OAPFC 方面的优势,介绍了基于神经网络 (NN) 的控制器和拓扑结构的优越性。实验结果是通过基于现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)的硬件单元获得的,这些单元按照国际标准电网规范(IEEE-519-2017)对电能质量(PQ)进行了彻底改善。

The experimental results are obtained through field programmable gate array (FPGA) based hardware units which exhibit radical improvement in the power quality (PQ) conferring as per the international standard grid code (IEEE-519-2017).","PeriodicalId":508697,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"36 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139822425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
