The paper investigates space vector PWM (SVPWM) control technique for a symmetrical two-phase induction motor (STPIM) when supplied from two different types of solid state converter drives; a voltage source inverter (VSI) drive and a matrix converter (MC) drive. Each motor-converter drive behavior is investigated for the following performance indicators: current total harmonic distortion (THD) and the motor ripple torque. For the VSI drives, the DC interlink voltage is also investigated. Computer simulations for the motor-converter system are generated for the converter generated voltages, motor currents and the speed-torque characteristics. Simulations results are validated by via comparison with experimental results. Copyright © 2014 Praise Worthy Prize - All rights reserved.

A Novel Enhanced Connection of AC/AC Powertrain for HEV - Modelling and Simulation Results

The paper deals with the determination and compensation of non-active torques of parallel HEV using an auxiliary electrical PMSM or IM motor. The non-active oscillating torque generating by the ICE engine was estimated, and consequently, the compensating torque component of the current was determined. Based on real measured data, the four regimes of operation have been investigated: compensating non-active torques, parallel operation, regenerating for PMSM, and both parallel operations, together with compensation. Using of p-q theory, the power of fundamental harmonic is presented by average values P_AV, Q_AV of total power waveforms p(t), and q(t). Worked-out simulation results are used for sizing and dimensioning of PMSM machine, VSI inverter, and traction accumulator-battery. Circuit simulator Matlab/Simulink was used for all simulation experiments.

Two‐Phase Inverters with Minimum Switching Devices | InTechOpen, Published on: 2017-06-21. Authors: Branislav Dobrucky, Tomas Laskody and Roman Konarik

This paper deals with the quasi-instantaneous determination of an apparent-, active-, and reactive (i.e., blind and distortion) power mean values, including total power factor, total harmonic distortion, and phase shift of fundamentals of power electronic system (PES) using the p-q method. The power components’ mean values are investigated both during transients and steady states. Using an integral calculus over one period and the moving average method (or digital filtering), the power components’ mean values can be determined within the next calculation step directly from phase current and voltage quantities. Consequently, with known values of a phase shift of fundamentals (using Fourier analysis), the power factor can be evaluated. The results of this study show how a distortion power component during transients is generated even under harmonic supplying and linear resistive-inductive load. The paper contains a theoretical base, modeling, and simulation for the 5-, 3-, and 2-phases of PES transients. A system compensated by switched capacitors as well as an active power filter shows a possibility to compensate for distortion and reactive power components in the next calculation step. Worked-out results can be used for the right determination and sizing of any PES. The presented approach brings the detailed time-waveform and improved quality of electrical quantities (time-waveforms), and through quasi-instantaneous (single step) response time of compensation, minimizes nascent overvoltage of the system.

This paper deals with the control of current phase advancing in single-leg voltage source inverters (VSI) and matrix converters with a two-phase output. The phase shift of the current in the auxiliary phase is set with the use of switched capacitors. Two distinctive control methods are used for the current phase advancing, open-loop control and closed-loop control. In addition, a new averaging method is derived for the calculation of the switched capacitance used in the open-loop control. The practical use of the designed control methods with the switched capacitor is shown in simulations and experimental verifications on a single-leg matrix converter with a passive and active load (induction motor).
