Dspace Implementation Of A Generalized Method Of Harmonic Elimination For Pwm Boost Type Rectifier Under Unbalanced Operating Conditions, Ke Chen
ETD Archive
In this thesis, the implementation of a generalized method of harmonic elimination for the PWM boost type rectifier under severe fault conditions in the power system is presented. This method has been implemented by using DSPACE RT1104 digital control system. Control loop has been designed for real-time DC link voltage regulation. The simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the control scheme for input-output harmonic elimination. With the proposed method, unity power factor can be achieved as well as low-order harmonic elimination. High quality input and output waveforms of the three-phase PWM boost type rectifier are obtained under extremely …

A novel cascaded multilevel converter is proposed in this thesis. The thesis proposes to produce more voltage levels from fewer H-bridges in a cascaded multilevel converter. The converter uses fewer H-bridges and the proposed switching scheme renders more voltage level in the staircase waveform with equal steps. Since the resulting voltage levels are equal, the angles are determined for the complete elimination of more unwanted harmonics. The implementation of the switching scheme, in single and three-phase configurations were simulated with Ansoft Simplorer♭ and the frequency spectrum of the resulting waveform and its total harmonic distortion are shown to verify the …
