This study presents a unified time-domain formulation of switching frequency for hysteresis current controlled AC/DC and DC/AC grid connected converters. It is shown that the generalised expression of switching frequency obtained can be used for any mode of operation of the converter based on phase relation between the reference AC current and grid voltage. The presented analysis provides information of maximum, minimum and average switching frequencies for all modes of the converter operation. The analytical results derived under different configurations are verified through the experimental results obtained using FPGAbased implementation of the controller for the converter. The applications of the results are shown on the three different singlephase systems operating in current control mode: (i) static synchronous compensator, (ii) boost rectifier and (iii) grid interface of wind-turbine system. The results of switching operations in these applications are verified using simulation studies performed in power systems CAD/electromagnetic transients including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC) software.
A new emulator circuit for designing memcapacitor is proposed in this work. The suggested circuit is designed using a current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCTA), a memristor and a capacitor. Behaviour of the proposed circuit has been examined for a frequency range of 0.6Hz to 6.4Hz with the help of simulations performed in LTSPICE using TSMC 180nm process parameters. It has been observed that the area inside lobes reduces with increase in frequency. In comparison to other emulators reported in literature, the suggested circuit uses fewer passive components and does not require analog multipliers, thus making it simple to design. The correctness and efficacy of the proposed design are verified using transient analysis, non-volatility analysis, and pinched hysteresis loops.
