Item Design and implementation of single phase inverter based on Cuk converter for PV system(International Journal of Renewable Energy Research, 2017) Sabhahit, N.S.; Gaonkar, D.N.; Anandh, N.; Kumar, N.S.In this paper, analysis and hardware implementation of a single phase inverter based on Cuk converter for PV system is presented. The buck-boost characteristic of such a converter promotes flexibility for both grid tied as well as standalone connections where the ac voltage is either higher than or lesser than the dc input voltage. Further Cuk based topologies have the better efficiency and voltage regulation, which is a lacking feature in a basic boost or a buck configuration. The proposed system not only offers continuous input and output current but also controlled voltage over a wider range. Hence this topology can serve as an expedient alternative converter stage for photovoltaic applications. In the proposed bidirectional two-switch Cuk converter, DSPIC30F2010 controller is used for controlling the duty ratio of switching pulses. Also, this controller generates PWM signals for the switches of single phase H-bridge inverter. The hardware results for the developed prototype of a Cuk converter based single phase inverter are presented. The developed scheme can easily be scalable to a much larger rating of the PV system.Item Efficient Coherent Direction-of-Arrival Estimation and Realization Using Digital Signal Processor(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Dakulagi, V.; Alagirisamy, M.; Singh, M.A novel efficient coherent direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method is devised in this article. First, a new cost function without the knowledge of source number is developed exploiting the Toeplitz matrices' joint diagonalization structure. Then, the revised steering vectors are used in the place of projection weights of the steering vectors to reconstruct the power spectrum in both noise and signal subspaces. The coherent DOAs are estimated using the 1-D search. Furthermore, the computational complexity of the proposed method is significantly reduced using the Nystrom approximation. Finally, the developed theoretical model is implemented on the TMS320C6678 digital signal processor (DSP) to exemplify the efficacy of the novel method. © 1963-2012 IEEE.Item Development of Small Signal Model and Stability Analysis of PV-Grid Integration System for EV Charging Application(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Kanimozhi, K.; Koothu Kesavan, K.K.; Nagendrappa, N.; Balasubramanian, B.In this article, grid interactive photovoltaic (PV) system is designed for an electric vehicle (EV) charging application, and the stability of the system is analyzed. The small signal model for the system is derived by averaging and linearizing the state space equations, and the condition for stable operation of PV-integrated charger system is identified from the transfer functions. The proposed charger system implements a coordinated control between the converters to maintain a power balance between the sources and load. System stability is examined using root-locus plots and in addition, the controller is designed to improve the overall stability and reliability of the system. The proposed method provides a general framework for modeling EV charging systems which also details the importance of deriving the model with multiple energy sources. Further, proposed topology has bidirectional capability, which transfers excess PV power to the grid during off-charging hours. The efficacy of the proposed method is verified using the MATLAB Simulink environment for the different scenarios, i.e., variation in the irradiation and disturbances in the grid voltage. The experimental study is conducted on a 1.5-kW laboratory prototype using a low-cost digital signal processing controller (launchpad TMS320F28027F) and the measured results authenticate the simulation findings. © 2020 IEEE.
