Neural‐network‐based space‐vector pulse‐width modulation for capacitor voltage balancing of three‐phase three‐level improved power quality converter

Abstract

In this study, an artificial neural-network (ANN)-based space-vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) for capacitor voltage balancing of a three-phase three-level neutral-point clamped converter with improved power quality is presented. The neural-network-based controller offers the advantage of very fast implementation of the SVPWM algorithm. This makes it possible to use an application specific integrated circuit chip in place of a digital signal processor. The proposed scheme employs single layer feed-forward neural-networks at different stages along with a control algorithm using modified reference vector for capacitor voltage balancing of an improved power quality three-phase neutral-point clamped converter. In other words, the neural-network receives three-phase voltages and currents as input and generates symmetrical pulse-width modulation waves for three phases of the converter. A simulated digital signal processor (DSP)-based modulator generates the data which are used to train the network by a back-propagation algorithm in the MATLAB Neural Network Toolbox. The simulation of converter with ANN-based space-vector modulator shows excellent performance when compared with that of conventional DSP-based modulator.

Real‐time experimental implementation of an LMS‐adaline‐based ANFIS controller to drive PV interfacing power system

“…The parameters of the ANFIS controller are tuned offline. The detailed method used to design ANFIS is presented in [31][32][33][34]. However, to design the ANFIS current controller, five proposed ANFIS sets for input/ output variable are used as: (i) negative big (N e B i ); (ii) positive big (P o B i ); (iii) negative (N e ); (iv) positive (P o ); and (v) zero (Z e ).…”

Control Algorithms of Shunt Active Power Filter for Harmonics Mitigation: A Review

“…The proposed method can be referred as an adaptive DTA technique, and it is effective against various types of voltage imbalance conditions and does not require any complex switching sequence design. However, it is It has been widely reported in the literature [60,108,109] that voltage deviations at the neutral-point Z of a NPC inverter are mainly caused by unequal operation of small and medium vectors. Therefore, in order to minimize the deviation, SVPWM algorithms are mostly designed based on Nearest Three Vectors (NTV) principle [58,107,110] Figure 16b.…”

Real-Time Implementation of Model-Predictive Control on Seven-Level Packed U-Cell Inverter

“…Different control methods for voltage balancing and current control exist such as linear/nonlinear controllers, predictive model, fuzzy, etc [33][34][35][36][37]. Model Predictive Control or MPC uses a model of the system to predict the future behavior of the variables [24,27].One of the major advantages of the FCS-MPC compared to a traditional PI controller is the flexibility to control different variables, with constraints and additional 0278-0046 (c) 2015 IEEE.…”
