HT is preferred to develop the stator current envelope. The sideband frequency and its amplitude of the samples are the input for the ANN. By using fast Fourier transform, the amplitude and frequency components are extracted and the severity of fault is determined by comparing the magnitude of an average of sideband frequency with the fundamental frequency. High accuracy identification of fault is found by ANN, where the results are trained and tested to a minimum mean square error that will detect the number of BRB in the induction motor. DTC is adopted for a suitable control technique in the industrial drives system to maintain good performance in torque control. The performance of the proposed method is verified by using MATLAB/ SIMULINK and experimental tests.

The proposed inverter has only two H-bridges connected in cascade, one switching at a high frequency and the other switching at a low frequency. The Low Switching Frequency Inverter (LSFI) generates seven levels whereas the High Switching Frequency Inverter (HSFI) generates only two levels. This paper also presents a solution to the capacitor balancing issues of the LSFI. The proposed inverter has lot of advantages such as reductions in the number of DC sources, switching losses, power electronic devices, size and cost. The proposed inverter with a capacitor voltage balancing algorithm is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The switching logic of the proposed inverter with a capacitor voltage balancing algorithm is developed using a FPGA SPATRAN 3A DSP board. A laboratory prototype is built to validate the simulation results.

CSI-fed Induction Motor (IM) drives are managed by using different control methods. Noteworthy methods include scalar Control (V/f), Input-Output Linearization (IOL) control, Field-Oriented Control (FOC), and Direct Torque Control (DTC). The objective of this work is to compare the dynamic performance of the aforementioned drive control methods for CSI-fed IM drives. The dynamic performance results of the proposed drives are individually analyzed through sensitivity tests. The tests selected for the comparison are step changes in the reference speed and torque of the motor drive. The operation and performance of different vector control methods are verified through simulations with MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results.

Therefore, the number of power electronic devices, converter losses, size, and cost are reduced. The proposed multilevel converter topology consists of two H-bridges connected in cascaded configuration. One H-bridge operates at a high frequency (high frequency inverter) and is capable of developing a two level output while the other H-bridge operates at the fundamental frequency (low frequency inverter) and is capable of developing a multilevel output. The addition of each power electronic switch to the low frequency inverter increases the number of levels by four. This paper also introduces a hybrid switching algorithm which uses very simple arithmetic and logical operations. The simplified hybrid switching algorithm is generalized for any number of levels. The proposed simplified switching algorithm is developed using a TMS320F2812 DSP board. The operation and performance of the proposed multilevel converter are verified by simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK and experimental results.

It consists of two inverters (upper and lower) coupled in cascade. The lower inverter is capable of developing a multilevel output and switches at low frequency and another inverter develops two-level output and switches at high frequency. In the proposed inverter, every additional power electronic switch in the lower inverter increases the level by four. This study also introduces a generalised hybrid modulation switching strategy, which gives arithmetical and logical expressions for switching the additional device for any required increase in levels. The voltage rating of the devices, conduction and switching loss of the proposed inverter are compared with the similarly setup topologies. The generalised hybrid modulation algorithm is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and implemented in a SPATRAN 3A DSP board. Simulation and experimental results are presented for different loading conditions.

It has become popular across medium- to high-power operations due to its many advantages, including minimum harmonic content, low switching losses, and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI). In this paper, the capacitor voltage balancing technique-based pulse width modulation (PWM) has been proposed. The proposed PWM strategy offers several advantages, such as high-quality output waveforms with reduced harmonic distortion, improved efficiency, and better control over the output voltage. The Xilinx ISE 10.1 software was used for synthesizing, and the VHDL code was written for the proposed method. MATLAB software was used to simulate and hardware was used to verify the proposed system. The SPARTAN 3E FPGA was used for the generation of the PWM.

As a result, a multilevel power converter structure has been introduced as an alternative in high power and medium voltage situations.Among the various MultiLevel Inverter (MLI), Cascaded H Bridge MultiLevel Inverters (CHB-MLI) are gaining more importance because of their modularity and simplicity. The main drawback of the CHB-MLI is that it needs more than one isolated DC source. The CHB-MLI can’t be used when a single dc source is available. However, this drawback becomes a very good feature in case of PV systems, because PV arrays can be accumulated in a no. of separate generators.The main aim of this paper is to propose a novel single phase grid connected CHB-MLI with minimum no. of power electronic devices and isolated DC sources.Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed inverter system offers the benefit of a reduced no. of switching devices and isolated DC sources when compared to ...
