The fast rise time of output voltage pulses (dv/dt) in PWM multi-level inverters (MLI) is one of the major factors of the increase of electromagnetic interference EMI and the shortness of motor useful life. Moreover, irregular voltage pulses, which only appear for critical modulation indexes, can deepen this interference phenomenon. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive ...

BLDC motors find numerous applications in the position and speed control systems. Such motors are not able to meet the desired specifications since they respond slowly to the input owing to inherent parameters. Hence, a feasible and practically realisable controller is required to meet the desired specifications with improved performance. The proposed simple controller is implemented using a ...

Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) inverters are widely applied in Distributed Generation (DG) units and power quality equipment owing to their excellent performance and flexible control means. Programmed PWM (PPWM), as a special type of optimal PWM strategy, theoretically allows for setting the fundamental and the selected harmonic amplitudes directly to arbitrary values. The algorithms for solving ...

The number of switching per modulation cycle at each level in a multi–level inverter depends on the carrier frequency and the duration that the reference waveform dwells within the level. The variable carrier frequency band (VFCB) approach creates as many clusters as the number of carrier frequencies and consequent deterioration of the harmonic spectrum. Therefore, a new pulse width modulation ...

What is UPS? An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that allows an Electronic Devices to keep running for at least a short period of time when incoming power is interrupted. As long as utility power is flowing, it also replaces and maintains the energy storage. (Uninterruptible Power Supply) A device that provides battery backup when the electrical power fails or drops to an ...

An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is used to provide electrical power to a load during an emergency situation in which the main utility power is not available. UPS topologies are well known. The inverter plays the most important role as an element in the UPS system. Usually, pulse width modulated inverters with voltage control and waveform shaping are used in UPS. This paper proposes an ...

The pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverter (VSI) is almost universally used in industrial motor drives. Although measurement of the VSI output voltage is required in many applications, accurate measurement is problematic due to the high frequency inverter switching. Many commonly used inverter output voltage measurement methods, such as indirect and direct voltage measurement, ...

In this paper, a modified shunt active filter is used under unbalanced three-wire supply voltages with non-linear loads. The main objective of the proposed shunt active filter is to control the three-phase supply currents both in its waveform, magnitude and phase to follow three-phase reference signals. The reference signals are derived from one of the phase voltages. When this is achieved, ...

The Benefits of Micro Inverters In the solar world, one of the big debates is the whole string inverter vs. micro inverter issue. Solar inverters are the devices that convert DC power being produced by the solar panel into AC power. The debate lies in which type of inverter is better, string or micro, which both have unique functions and compatibility. The Types of Inverters Inverters ...

Equipment installed in ships or offshore installations typically operate under tough conditions, and any possible equipment failures can have serious cost impact. Despite this, products not really suited for the applications are often chosen based on the initial cost rather than looking at the total cost of ownership. One example is the use of a modular marine AC UPS versus the use of a modified ...
