Simulation of Space Vector Modulation for Open End Winding Induction Motor in PSIM
Vishnu V Bhandankar, Anant J Naik
Abstract:
Space vector modulation (SVM) has advantages such as wide linear range of operation, better DC link utilization, 15% more output voltage than Sine PWM and Less harmonics content. For High Voltage application switching frequency is limited by stresses on switches. Multilevel inverter provide solution for the increase operating voltage for converter above the limits of semiconductor devices along with reduced dV/dt stress. However implementation of Three-level Space Vector Modulation involves significant increase in complexity. In this paper in effort to simplify SVM for Three-level Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) ,the Three-level VSI is synthesized using a dual Two-level inverter for open-end winding induction motor drive and is simulated in PSIM. The proposed method results in reduction in the amount of switching commutations in the dual-inverter by half. The implementation of the suggested Three-level SVM scheme neither needs any look-up tables nor sector identification for the under modulation region.

Disha, Dr. Nagesh Prabhu, Chaithra L
Abstract:
Ever increasing growth of electricity demand and promising growth of renewable energy production has necessitated the requirement of an efficient grid tie inverter. In the proposed system, grid tie inverter control is based on the d-q reference frame controller. Grid voltage and inverter current are transformed through d-q transformation to convert into dc components and the error signal is passed through a PI controller to supply active power to grid. Modified Unipolar Sine Wave Pulse Width Modulation (MUSPWM) is used to reduce switching loss. The simulation of system is carried out using MATLAB/ Simulink. The reactive current reference of d-q based controller is set to zero and active current reference is based on the active power to be supplied to the grid. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the controller in ensuring only active power supply to grid in steady state.

Nisha, Vishwas K, Suryanarayana K, Rajaneesh Acharya
Abstract:
Heating by induction is a promising technology for processing circular semiconductor wafers because it offers quick and high temperature heating. Heat develops inside the work piece hence losses due to conduction and radiation is reduced. It is rather difficult to attain uniform temperature distribution in the work piece using single coil induction heating method. In this paper, a multi coil induction heating system for processing circular semiconductor wafers is proposed. The working coil or inductor is divided into a number of multi turn coils. The paper presents ANSYS Maxwell 3D modelling and simulations of the four coil induction heating system. The phase angle between the currents differs by 90º to generate a travelling wave magnetic field that can uniformly heat the subsector.

Abstract:
Embedded Technology has been used widely for the power system protection and monitoring devices. There is also an increasing complexity added to the embedded systems. The useful life of a product, is likely to be extended, and its user base increased, if it can be migrated to various platforms over its lifetime. It is seen that much of the development time is wasted in redeveloping the application software which can be saved if the applications built are platform independent. Developing a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) can ensure the much of the software reuse when ported across embedded hardware platforms having different architectures. The paper proposes the concept of HAL for two underlying Microcontroller platforms (16bit & 32bit architecture) targeting applications to power system protection. The paper discusses how a HAL is developed for the UART module of the two platforms.

A Novel Approach for Power Sharing in Microgrids
Kartheek Vankadara, M. Purushotham
Abstract:
The action of inverters which are connected in parallel in microgrids is supported on droop process. The actual droop process comprises of rectifying the final voltage frequency and size to obtain self-standing power sharing without control wire interconnections. The actual voltage droop process reveals several drawbacks such as interior multiloop feedback control, frequency and voltage deviations. This paper intends a modern control tactic in microgrid applications by bringing down substantial flux in place of inverter final voltage. Firstly, substantial flux, active and reactive powers are mathematically obtained and a relationship is established between them which are employed to promote a modern flux droop technique. A small signal model is improved in direction to sketch the main parameters which are to be controlled and to study the steadiness as well as the system dynamics. A direct flux control step by step technique is used to adjust the substantial flux agreeing to the droop controller to evade the utility of PI controllers and PWM modulators. The simulation output shows that intended flux droop tactic can obtain reactive and active power shared by decreasing the frequency deviated than actual droop process, which spotlights influential usage in applications of microgrids.

Efficient Low Power Indoor Solar System
Sandesh, K. Vasudev Shettigar
Abstract:
The electrical power harvesting from environmental energy such as thermal , light, wind, vibration permits low-power devices, few of which are conventionally powered by batteries. Low-power devices are used in variety range of industrial applications. Battery replacement or recharging is generally unattractive inside the devices because cost and difficulty of getting access to the built in embedded devices. Solar energy is most widespread form of energy and Photovoltaic (PV) technology is thus very useful in energy harvesting. The choice of appropriate PV module like size and conditioning circuit for output power is essential for effective operation. To improve efficiency commonly used technique is maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and good response is obtained for changing irradiation. At low light levels in indoor systems control and tracking circuitry itself may consume most part of the generated power which is not feasible. This paper shows the circuit which can work in indoor and outdoor applications but without having controller in it.

Abstract:
Electricity distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity to end users. A distribution system's network carries electricity from the transmission system and delivers it to consumers. The performance of distribution system becomes inefficient due to the reduction in voltage magnitude and increase in distribution losses. Distribution system reconfiguration is one of the techniques to minimize the losses. The standard switching indices are used for the network reconfiguration. An algorithm has been developed to arrive at an efficient network configuration using MATLAB software. The algorithm has been tested on standard 32 bus system and 11kV distribution system of Master Unit Sub Station, Hassan.

Adpaikar Shruthi Vasudev, Amita Dessai
Abstract:
The electrical activity of the fetus heart is basically the fetal electrocardiogram.FECG is a weak signal which is measured indirectly by placing the electrode on the surface abdomen of the mother. The Fetal signals contains many other interfering signal. Extraction of the fetal ECG parameters from the abdominal signal has an important value in clinical application and also enables continuous monitoring of the fetus status by means of analysing its cardiac activity. This paper proposes a non-invasive method for the FECG extraction by using a template for the cancellation of maternal QRS complex. The final results specify that the fetal R peaks can be easily detected under various circumstances without using the reference maternal thoracic signal.

Rekha S. Kandolkar, Prof. S. B. Karapurkar
Abstract:
Multiphase (?3Ø) systems are greatly under research recently due to their inherent advantages compared to their three-phase (3Ø) counterparts. The Multiphase system applicability is explored in electric power generation, transmission, and utilization. The first multiphase motor drive proposal was given by Ward and Harrer way back in 1969.The grid supply is available as three phase supply, hence there is a static phase transformation system required to obtain a multiphase supply from the available three-phase supply. Multiphase Inverters and Special Transformer connection Technique are two methods used to convert Three-phase supply to Five-phase supply. In this paper three to five phase transformation using special multi-winding transformer connection scheme is presented. Three single phase Multiwinding transformers are designed, two transformers having one primary and three secondary windings and the third transformer has one primary and two secondary windings. The proposed transformer connection has three phase input and outputs five phases to transform balanced fixed voltage-fixed frequency three phase power into balanced fixed voltage-fixed frequency five phase power at its output. The special connection scheme of multi-winding transformers is simulated by using SIMPOWERSYSTEMS? block sets of MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

A Blind digital Watermarking Algorithm based on DWT-DCT Transformation
Sukanti B. Mardolkar, Nayana Shenvi
Abstract:
In this paper we propose, a blind digital image watermarking algorithm based on combined DWT-DCT transformation with low frequency watermarking. The watermark embedding is carried out by modifying the wavelets coefficients of carefully selected DWT sub-band of a host image after two levels of DWT decomposition, followed by the application of the block based DCT transform on the selected sub-band. Watermark embedding is done using low frequency coefficients of each selected 4×4 DCT block. The watermarked host image is exposed to several watermark attacks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to withstand a variety of common signal processing and geometric attacks.

Full Bridge Inverter Topology For Domestic Induction Heating Applications
Sowmya Shree J S, Deepesh K
Abstract:
Domestic induction heating (IH) is currently the choice in modern domestic application due to its advantages regarding fast heating time, efficiency and improved control. Induction heating applications require high frequency currents which are obtained using resonant converters. In this paper a novel DC-AC single phase inverter is proposed and simulated using MATLAB. When the switches are turned on and off, a conventional inverter generates switching loss because of the hard-switching. Thus the inverter loss is increased. Proposed system contains auxiliary circuit. The converter stage switches perform soft- switching because of the auxiliary circuit. Therefore all switches perform soft-switching when the switches are turned on and off. Thus the proposed system reduces switching loss and voltage stress.

Abstract:
Reformations in electricity sector along with various renewable energy promotion policies has increased the importance of small grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems utilizing single-stage single-phase inverters. To improve the performance multilevel inverter are preferred over two levels. This paper proposes a single-stage five level inverter for grid connected (PV) system. The output current of the inverter can be adjusted according to the voltage of the photovoltaic (PV) array. This control scheme is based on SPWM topology. Schemes based on SPWM which do not require the service of a phase locked loop for interfacing the inverter to the grid are increasingly being employed for such applications. Performance evaluation of the five-level inverter is done on Matlab platform. The viability of the proposed scheme is confirmed by performing simulation and results validation.

Non- Invasive Method of Fetal ECG Extraction Using Hilbert Transform
Nivitha.M, Santhi.C
Abstract:
Fetal Electrocardiogram Extraction identifies the congenital heart problems at the earlier stage. One of the method for extracting fetal ECG is by using Noninvasive method but the noise and interference associate with the signal is more. So integrated approach for fetal heart beat detection from abdominal ECG signals is used. The signal is first processed by the first-order difference operation which remove the different types of noise in the signal, and then, the envelope of the differentiated signal is given by the Hilbert transform, which indicates both the maternal and fetal heart beats. After that, the non-linear state-space projections is applied to the envelope signal to remove the maternal heart beats, obtaining the fetal heart beats envelope. The validity and performance of the described method done by calculating SNR, MSE values and comparing with previous technique shows the proposed method provide better result. The Database for the ECG signal is taken from the Physionet Website[17].

Enhancement of Load Voltage Regulation by Series Reactance Emulation of SSSC
Shravya J, Dr.Nagesh Prabhu
Abstract:
The Voltage source converter(VSC) based series voltage compensator can inject a voltage in series with the transmission line. The component of injected voltage which is in quadrature with the line current emulates reactance. In this paper it is shown that the voltage at the receiving end is maintained constant by connecting Static Synchronous Series Compensator(SSSC) in series with the transmission line. If the receiving end voltage rises beyond the set voltage, the SSSC acts in inductive region by injecting voltage to lead the line current by 90° and the receiving end voltage is brought back to the set voltage. Similarly if the receiving end voltage reduces due to overloading it is brought back to the nominal voltage by making the SSSC to act in capacitive region by injecting voltage which lags the line current by 90°.The simulation results show the effectiveness of reactance emulation of SSSC to regulate the receiving end voltage and thereby enhances the voltage regulation.

Suresh N G, Subramanya K
Abstract:
A unique transformer-less variable voltage quadruple interleaved boost converter with extremehigh-voltage transfer gain and decreased semiconductor voltage stress is featured. The proposed topology uses input-parallel output-series pattern for giving a much higher voltage gain excluding implemention of very large duty cycle. The projected converter not only be able to achieve high maximise voltage gain with lowered element count but also lessen the voltage stress of each active switches and diodes. So this makes one to opt lower voltage rating MOSFETs and diodes for minimising both switching and conduction losses. Along with, due to the charger of the blocking capacitor, the converter highlights spontaneous uniform current sharing characteristics of two interleaved phase for voltage boosting mode rather than adding an additional circuitry or complex control techniques. The operative principle and steady analysis as well as a comparison with other latest existing high boost topologies are showed. At last simulation results isshown to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
