Item Realization of an arduino-mega based space vector modulation controller(IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2016) Ansal, V.; Remya, V.K.; Antony, S.This paper discusses the programming and the use of Arduino Mega, an open hardware microcontroller board in generating the Space Vector Modulation (SVM) for three phase inverters. The design can be used for interfacing renewable energy sources such as solar cells and fuel cells to ac utility grid directly. The low cost and easily programmable Arduino makes the renewable energy power system more economical and simple. The architecture and functions of Arduino Mega is explained briefly. The output results are verified using the simulation carried out in MATLAB Simulink. © 2016 IEEE.Item Phase advance compensation of voltage sags using full bridge inverter based DVR(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Nandakumar, A.Voltage sag is considered as the most expensive power quality problem. With the advent of power electronics, custom power devices are introduced to mitigate the sag issues. Among the custom power devices, Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is the most cost-effective one. The voltage injected in series by the DVR compensates the load profile during sag events. The compensation techniques such as in-phase, energy minimized and phase advance methods determine the way in which the DVR voltage is injected into the grid. By providing a phase advance to the DVR voltage with respect to the supply voltage gives the merit of reduced active power injection and thereby reduces the rating of energy storage. The disadvantages such as increased DVR voltage magnitude, phase shift, load swings and discontinuity of wave shape are associated with this compensation technique. This method is suitable for magnitude sensitive loads. This paper presents simulation results showing the compensation of both sag and swell using phase advance compensation. © 2017 IEEE.Item A Novel Three-Phase Low Voltage (LV) Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) Employing Semi-Z-Source Inverter(IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2018) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Nandakumar, A.; Ansal, V.This paper presents the design and control of a Low Voltage (LV) Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) for a three-phase power system. The DVR is designed to protect a three-phase load of 3 kVA from the voltage sags and swells ranging up to 0.5 p.u of the supply voltage. The proposed DVR utilizes semi-Z-source (SZS) inverter as the power converter in each phase of the DVR. The SZS inverter offers many advantages such as reduction in cost, size, weight, elimination of filter etc. compared to the conventional Full Bridge (FB) inverter based DVR. Each phase is controlled independently which offers mitigation of both symmetrical and asymmetrical sags. The proposed DVR employs the modified feedback control technique. The simulation results from MATLAB/Simulink environment verify the efficacy of the proposed DVR topology. The proposed DVR topology is suitable for mitigation of sags and swells initiating at any point-on-wave. © 2018 IEEE.Item Buck-Boost Inverter Functionality of Two-Phase Semi-Z-Source Converter(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Ansal, V.; Nandakumar, A.A two-phase semi-Z-source (SZS) inverter capable of generating sinusoidal output voltage up to two times the input voltage is discussed in this paper. The two-phase SZS inverter consists of four switches and two Z-source networks. The buck-boost functionality achieved without the presence of shoot-through phenomenon is the major advantage of the two-phase SZS inverter. In the two-phase SZS inverter structure, there are two blocks of single-phase SZS circuits. Each single-phase SZS inverter block consists of two switches and one Z-source network. In each SZS inverter block, the switches are operated complementarily. The voltage gain of the single-phase SZS circuit block is non-linear in nature and a Modified Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (MSPWM) technique is employed for generating the switching pulses. The MATLAB/Simulink results are presented to demonstrate the characteristics of the two-phase SZS inverter. © 2018 IEEE.Item A comparative study of full-bridge inverter based DVR and SEMI-Z-source inverter based DVR(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Nandakumar, A.There is always a necessity to protect the voltage sensitive industrial systems from Power Quality (PQ) issues to prevent the loss of product quality and revenue. Generally, custom power devices take the responsibility to mitigate these PQ problems, restore the voltage and thus maintain the PQ standards. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is one among the custom power devices which offers an economical compensation of load voltage under abnormal supply voltage conditions. The voltage injected in series by the DVR compensates the load profile during PQ events; appropriate voltage injected by the DVR in series with supply protects the load and restores the voltage to pre-defined values. The required injected voltage is generated by the inverter circuit in the DVR system. The most commonly used DVR inverter is the full-bridge inverter which consists of four switches. The Semi-Z-Source (SZS) inverter based DVR which offers same injection capability with only two-switches is compared with the full-bridge inverter. The in-phase compensation technique is employed in both the DVRs for injecting required voltage into the grid. The efficiency, quality of the injected voltage and load voltage are studied. This paper presents simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink environment to validate thecomparison. © 2018 IEEE.Item Remote Triggered Laboratory for Boost Converter Using LabVIEW(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Ansal, V.; Remya, V.K.; Jagadeesh, V.K.; Krishnan, K.This paper aims to provide remote access to laboratories in power electronics to all levels from under graduate to research. The platform is focused on learning aspect as much as performing the experiments. Remote triggered power electronics laboratory for boost converter experiments has been developed using National Instruments(NI) data acquisition device myRIO and LabVIEW software package which has an extensive support for interfacing devices and instruments. LabVIEW software is used to access the data using myRIO which has both the processor and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Through Graphical User Interface (GUI), a user in remote location is able to vary parameter pertaining to boost converter circuit which is transmitted to laboratory PC that has NI LabVIEW installed in it. The input is further fed to circuit, and then, output is fed back to LabVIEW through NI myRIO which ultimately is returned to user’s PC using web-publishing tool and can be viewed through GUI. Remote Triggered (RT) power electronics laboratories can be effectively used to give laboratory demonstrations to large number of learners. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Design, and Hardware Implementation of Semi-Z-Source Inverter based Transformer-less Dynamic Voltage Restorer(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Nandakumar, A.; Ansal, V.; Rajkumar, K.In this paper, design, and implementation of a semi-Z-source inverter based topology of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is discussed.

The absence of filter components, elimination of shoot-through phenomenon, reduced size and cost of the SZS inverter are some of the attributes of the proposed DVR topology.
