The design and performance analysis of a reduced rating autotransformer based thirty-pulse AC-DC converter is carried out for feeding a vector controlled induction motor drive (VCIMD). The configuration of the proposed autotransformer consists of only two single phase transformers, with their windings connected in a T-shape, resulting in simplicity in design, manufacturing and in a reduction in magnetics rating. The design procedure of the autotransformer along with the newly designed interphase transformer is presented. The proposed configuration has flexibility in varying the transformer output voltage ratios as required. The design of the autotransformer can be modified for retrofit applications, where presently a 6-pulse diode bridge rectifier is used. The proposed thirty-pulse AC-DC converter is capable of suppressing less than $29^{th}$ harmonics in the supply current. The power factor is also improved to near unity in the wide operating range of the drive. A comparison of different power quality indices at AC mains and DC bus is demonstrated in a conventional 6-pulse AC-DC converter and the proposed AC-DC converter feeding a VCIMD. A laboratory prototype of the proposed autotransformer based 30-pulse AC-DC converter was developed with test results validating the proposed design and system.

This paper presents an implementation of high performance control of a reluctance synchronous motor (RSM) using a neural network with a direct torque control. The equivalent circuit in a RSM, which considers iron losses, is theoretically analyzed. Also, the optimal current ratio between torque current and exiting current is analytically derived. In the case of a RSM, unlike an induction motor, torque dynamics can only be maintained by controlling the flux level because torque is directly proportional to the stator current. The neural network is used to efficiently drive the RSM. The TMS320C3l is employed as a control driver to implement complex control algorithms. The experimental results are presented to validate the applicability of the proposed method. The developed control system shows high efficiency and good dynamic response features for a 1.0 [kW] RSM having a 2.57 ratio of d/q.

This paper presents an implementation of efficiency optimization of reluctance synchronous motor (RSM) using a neural network (NN) with a direct torque control (DTC). The equipment circuit considered with iron losses in RSM is analyzed theoretically, and the optimal current ratio between torque current and exiting current component are derived analytically. For the RSM driver, torque dynamic can be maintained with DTC using TMS320F2812 DSP Controller even with controlling the flux level because a torque is directly proportional to the stator current unlike induction motor. In order to drive RSM at maximum efficiency and good dynamics response, the Backpropagation Neural Network is adapted. The experimental results are presented to validate the applicability of the proposed method. The developed control system show high efficiency and good dynamic response features with 1.0 [kW] RSM having 2.57 inductance ratio of d/q.

The water pumping system uses a variable speed single phase induction motor driven a centrifugal pump by field oriented control(FOC) inverter. The MPPT using a DC-DC converter controlled the duty cycle to track maximum power from PV under different insolation conditions. The duty cycle directly relate with a flux producing current control($i_{ds}$). The FOC inverter uses a current control voltage source inverter(CC-VSI). The simulation results are shown that the characteristics and performance of drive system, which varies as each conditions of light by expresses in voltage$(V_{dq})$, current$(I_{dq})$, speed of motor and torque.

고 정밀도와 고 속응성의 물류 이송을 위한 자동피킹 시스템 (Automatic Picking System; APS) 구동용 선형 유도 모터 드라이브의 설계 및 강인한 위치 제어 기법이 제안된다. 모델 불확실성에 대한 강인한 위치 제어기 설계를 위해서 적분형 가변구조 제어 기법이 고려된다. APS의 외란추력, 질량 및 마찰계수 등의 기계적 파라미터 변화는 위치 제어 성능에 직접적 영향을 주며 이러한 불확실성 하에서도 강인한 위치 응답 성능을 보유하는 위치 제어기가 설계된다. 선형 유도 모터의 모델을 위한 Simulink 라이브러리가 상태방정식으로부터 개발되며 이를 활용한 Matlab - Simulink 기반의 비교 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방식이 강인한 위치 응답 성능을 가지며 고 정밀도와 고 속응성을 요구하는 APS에 적합함이 입증된다.

If two or more Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be controlled by one inverter, a train can be driven by less energy than the present Induction Motor (IM) drive system. First, this paper proposes a method for simulating the movement of wheels and a vehicle to develop a control method. Next, a method is presented for controlling two or more PMSMs by one inverter.

In PWM inverter fed traction motor drive systems, the switching frequency is restricted and thus the electromagnetic acoustic noise is generated. To reduce such an audible noise, we propose the modified RSF(Randomized Switching Frequency)-PWM method. In the proposed RSF-PWM method, both triangular wave and sawtooth wave are used in one period as carrier waves. Because the proposed method has inherently the same property as sinusoidal PWM method, there is no problem of linearity. To verify the validity of the modified RSF-PWM method, computer simulations are carried out.

This study proposes an input filter for a gallium-nitride-based direct matrix converter with a stepless current commutation technique. Various current commutation strategies have been adopted for reliable operation of switches. These strategies are complex to be implemented and require additional components. The stepless current commutation technique is simple to operate but causes overcurrent issues due to the occurrence of short circuit on input sources. In this study, to restrict the short circuit current, we utilized GaN devices with fast switching properties and modified the input filter. The proposed input filter was verified by experimental results of induction motor drive.

Common mode voltage (CMV) generation is a major problem in switching power converter fed induction motor drive systems. CMV is the zero sequence voltage generated due to the switching action of power converters. Even a small magnitude of CMV with a high rate of change may circulate large bearing currents which may damage a machine's bearings and shorten its life. There are several methods of controlling CMV. This paper presents 3-level sinusoidal pulse width modulation based techniques to control the magnitude and rate of change of CMV in multilevel AC-DC-AC drive systems. Simulation and experimental investigations have been presented to validate the performance of proposed technique to control CMV in 3-level neutral point clamped inverter based AC-DC-AC system.

Two different designs of permanent magnet motors as direct wheel-set drive for the German high speed train ICE 3 are designed, one with surface mounted magnets (SM) and one with buried rotor magnets (BM). The surface magnet motor has $17\%$ less mass and a slightly higher efficiency and was therefore chosen for further investigations. Compared with the conventional drive system of the ICE 3, consisting of geared inverter fed induction machines, the gearless permanent magnet direct drive yields about $16\%$ lower losses. This calculation is based on the route parameters of the high speed track between Frankfurt/Main and Cologne in Germany, which is currently under construction.
