This paper deals with a decoupled solid state controller (DSSC) for an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG), used in constant power pico-hydro power generation for feeding three-phase four-wire loads. The proposed DSSC is used to control the voltage and frequency of the IAG in the decoupled manner. This DSSC is a combination of a voltage regulator (VR) for regulating the voltage and a conventional electronic load controller (ELC) for controlling the active power to regulate the frequency. The VR is realized using a zigzag/three-single-phase transformer and six-leg insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs)-based current controlled voltage source converter (VSC) with a capacitor on its DC bus and an ELC is a combination of a three-phase diode bridge rectifier with a chopper switch and an auxiliary load. The proposed DSSC with an isolated generating system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and power system blockset (PSB) toolboxes. The simulated results of the IAG-DSSC system are presented to demonstrate its performance for feeding three-phase four-wire linear/nonlinear (balanced/unbalanced) loads with the neutral current compensation.
This paper deals with the performance analysis of ELKEM and POLY SILICON Photovoltaic Technologies. The output powers of ELKEM and POLY SILICON Photovoltaic (PV) cells are compared by considering the effect of irradiance, panel temperatures, climatic conditions during the months of May to August. The ELKEM and POLY SILICON Photovoltaic cells graphs are plotted to estimate the performance of each array. The performance of the four arrays namely elkem-bottom, elkem-top, poly-bottom and poly-top are compared with each other. The power generated is fed to the grid and is examined continuously for stability and reliability.
This paper deals with a reduced switch multi-level inverter for the solar photovoltaic system-based 127-level multi-level inverter. The proposed technique uses the minimum number of switches to achieve the maximum steps in staircase AC output voltage when compared to the flying capacitor multi-level inverter, cascaded type multilevel inverter and diode clamped multi-level inverter. The use of a minimum number of switches decreases the cost of the system. To eliminate the switching losses, in this topology a square wave switch is used instead of pulse width modulation. Thereby the total harmonic distortion (THD) and harmonics have been reduced in the pulsating AC output voltage waveform. The performance of 127-level MLI is compared with 15 level, 31-level and 63-level multilevel inverters. The outcomes of the solar photovoltaic system-based 127-level multi-level inverter have been simulated in a MATLAB R2009b environment.
This paper proposes a novel H-bridge based hybrid multilevel inverter consists of small number of switching devices and output of H-bridge multilevel by switching the solar PV voltage sources in series and parallel. The proposed H-bridge multilevel inverter reduces number of switching devices which reduces the power consumption and size of the gate driver circuits. The proposed inverter gives more number of output voltages which reduces total harmonic distortion of the output voltage waveform. The hybrid modulation method is used to control H-bridge multilevel inverter. The proposed inverter is validated through simulation results are validated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
