Asymmetrical pulse width modulated(APWM) control technique for AC chopper is proposed which can improve the input power factor. The ideal switching function for the proposed technique is derived and its optimal slope to maintain the input power factor to unity is calculated. By digital simulation several characteristics are investigated theoretically and then compared with those of the conventional PWM and the phase angle control technique. In order to maintain the input power factor to unity the optimal slope and the average value of the ideal switching function are calculated. The experimental results show a good agreement with the calculated ones, which proves the feasibility of the proposed technique.

In this paper, we proposed the isolated multi-level inverter using 3-phase transformers. It makes possible to use a single DC power source due to employing low frequency transformers. In this inverter, the number of transformer could be reduced comparing with an exiting 3-phase multi-level inverter using single phase transformer. Also, using phase angle control method with switching frequency equal to output fundamental frequency, harmonics component of output voltage and switching losses can be reduced. Finally, we made a prototype inverter to clarify the proposed electric circuit and reasonableness of control signal.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive system provides a good adjustable speed characteristics. However higher torque ripple are one of the few disadvantages of the SRM drives. The SRM would have to operated with an MMF waveform specified for switching angle and phase voltage. This paper proposes control modelling method using ANN(Artificial Neural Network) and GA(Genetic Algorithm) that are used to control switch-on angles and input voltage.

Optimal Asymmetrical Pulse-width Modulated (APWM) technique for ac chopper is proposed which can improve the input power factor and eliminate the harmonics of output voltage up to a specified order, and also enables linear control of the fundamental component of the output voltage. The PWM switching patterns at the specified phase angle are obtained by Newton-Raphson method and theoretical comparisons are made with other PWM and APWM technique.

This paper uses the switching function approach to present a simple state model of the Vienna-type rectifier. The approach introduces the relationship between the DC-link neutral point voltage and the AC side phase currents. A novel direct power control (DPC) strategy, which is based on the sliding mode control (SMC) for Vienna I rectifiers, is developed using the proposed power model in the stationary ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ reference frames. The SMC-based DPC methodology directly regulates instantaneous active and reactive powers without transforming to a synchronous rotating coordinate reference frame or a tracking phase angle of grid voltage. Moreover, the required rectifier control voltages are directly calculated by utilizing the non-linear SMC scheme. Theoretically, active and reactive power flows are controlled without ripple or cross coupling. Furthermore, the fixed-switching frequency is obtained by employing the simplified space vector modulation (SVM). SVM solves the complicated designing problem of the AC harmonic filter. The simplified SVM is based on the simplification of the space vector diagram of a three-level converter into that of a two-level converter. The dwelling time calculation and switching sequence selection are easily implemented like those in the conventional two-level rectifier. Replacing the current control loops with power control loops simplifies the system design and enhances the transient performance. The simulation models in MATLAB/Simulink and the digital signal processor-controlled 1.5 kW Vienna-type rectifier are used to verify the fast responses and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

Flexibility in the power control of ultrasonic transducers has remained a challenge for cleaning applications. This paper introduces a modification of the existing piezoelectric ceramic transducer (PCT) circuit to increase the range of operation through its impedance characteristics. The output power is controlled using the asymmetrical voltage-cancellation (AVC) method. Together with a phase-locked loop control, the switching frequency of the inverter is automatically adjusted to maintain a lagging phase angle under load-parameter variations during the cleaning process. With the proposed modification, the region of the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation is extended, which results in a wider range of output power control. A hardware prototype is constructed and the control algorithm is implemented using an STM32F4 microcontroller. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the proposed method for a 50-W PCT. The operating frequency and output power ranges under study are 37 - 41 kHz and 15.8 - 50 W, respectively.

The neutral section on electric railway system is significant sector in order to prevent short circuit of two electric powers. However, while electric trains pass the neutral section, those speed is decreased and the accident of AC electric traction system and the electric train would be occurred. So the countermeasures are urgently needed. The automatic power switching technology system that is current being research and development is system to improve these problems. Because main object of this system is power change using static switch in the neutral section, it's expected to cause a variety of transients. Especially, onboard transformer inrush current for electric railway train can be occurred more than rated current according to switching time. Therefore, the analysis and improvement are needed to ensure the stability of this system. In this paper, we analyze the operating characteristics of the automatic power switching technology system. Especially, it reviews inrush current according to the closing phase angle. And we propose control plan of inrush current considering the case that voltage is maintained due to counter electromotive force and regenerative braking operation of electric railway train. Finally, the proposed control scheme was reviewed using the transient analysis program.
