    Design and implementation of a laboratory scale three-phase thyristor controlled reactor
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Abhyankar, B.G.; Shubhanga, K.N.; Navada, H.G.
    This paper presents design, implementation and analysis of a laboratory scale three-phase thyristor controlled reactor (TCR). The performance of the TCR is demonstrated through many case studies for different connections of the TCR branches. A detailed harmonic analysis is carried out to understand the harmonic behaviour of the setup. The fundamental reactance characteristics of the TCR is also obtained experimentally and compared with ideal characteristics. A simulation model is developed using 'MATLAB' to verify the oscilloscope captured-waveforms. This setup is found to be a good learning resource for introducing variable reactance nature of a TCR. © 2017 IEEE.

    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Gajanana Abhyankar, B.; Shubhanga, K.N.; Girisha Navada, H.
    This paper presents the design and steady-state analysis of a Fixed Capacitor-Thyristor Controlled Reactor (FC-TCR)-based Static VAr Compensator (SVC). Reactive power compensation is demonstrated through the fundamental frequency analysis of the samples acquired from the designed system. The performance of the SVC in the presence of line reactance is also discussed. National Instrument (NI) based data acquisition system is used to perform the steady-state analysis. Besides, a few transient responses are also captured using the data acquisition system. © 2017 IEEE.

    Dynamic characteristics of drilling spindle supported by radial permanent magnet bearings
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Chalageri, G.R.; Bekinal, S.I.; Doddamani, M.
    This paper presents the drilling spindle dynamic and harmonic characteristics supported by radial permanent magnet bearings (PMBs). Initially, multi-ring radial PMB is designed in proportionate to the dimensions of drilling spindle using Coulombain model and vector approach. Dynamic analysis of spindle is carried out for three different combinations between conventional angular contact bearings (ACBs) and PMBs. First, the spindle was supported by only ACBs. Second, ACBs were completely replaced by radial PMBs and one ACB was used in between two PMBs making it as a hybrid bearing set (HBS) in the last case. The effect of bearing preload, bearing span and cutting force on the spindle natural frequency, harmonic frequency and critical speed of drilling spindle system was investigated through rotor dynamic analysis. This analysis focuses on the feasibility of successful usage of HBS in drilling machine spindles with higher critical speeds and maximum amplitudes produced due to chattered vibrations and tangential cutting forces. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

    Modified SVPWM algorithm for three level VSI with synchronized and symmetrical waveforms
    (2007) Beig, A.R.; Narayanan, G.; Ranganathan, V.T.
    The objective of the present work is to improve the output waveform of three level inverters used in high-power applications, where the switching frequency is very low. This is achieved by maintaining the synchronization, half-wave symmetry, quarter-wave symmetry, and three-phase symmetry in the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) waveforms. The principles of achieving synchronization and symmetries in terms of space vectors for three level inverters are presented. A novel synchronized space vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM) algorithms is proposed and verified experimentally. The experimental waveforms of the inverter output voltage and motor no load current for different operating conditions of the drive are presented. The performance measure in terms of the weighted total harmonic distortion (THD) of the line voltage is computed for the linear modulation region of the drive for the proposed algorithm and compared with that of synchronized SVPWM and synchronized sine-triangle pulsewidth modulation (SPWM) technique. The comparative results show that consideration of synchronization and symmetry results in improved THD. Another significant feature of the proposed algorithm is that the symmetry and synchronization leads to self-balancing of the direct current (dc) bus capacitor voltages over every one third cycle of the fundamental. © 2007 IEEE.

    Improved Wigner-Ville distribution performance based on DCT/DFT harmonic wavelet transform and modified magnitude group delay
    (2008) Narasimhan, S.V.; Haripriya, A.R.; Shreyamsha Kumar, B.K.
    A new Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) estimation is proposed. This improved and efficient WVD is based on signal decomposition (SD) by DCT or DFT harmonic wavelet transform (DCTHWT or DFTHWT) and the modified magnitude group delay (MMGD). The MMGD processing can be either in fullband or subband. The SD by DCTHWT provides better quality low leakage decimated subband components. The concatenation of WVDs of the subbands results in an overall WVD, significantly free from crossterms and Gibbs ripple. As no smoothing window is used for the instantaneous autocorrelation (IACR), MMGD removes or reduces the Gibbs ripple preserving the frequency resolution achieved by the DCT/DFT HWT. The SD by DCTHWT compared to that of DFTHWT, has improved frequency resolution and detectability. These are due to the symmetrical data extension and the consequential low leakage (bias and variance). As the zeros due to the associated white noise are removed by the MMGD effectively in subband domain than in fullband, the proposed WVD based on subband has a better noise immunity. Compared to fullband WVD, the subband WVD is computationally efficient and achieves a significantly better: frequency resolution, detectability of low-level signal in the presence of high-level one and variance. The SD-based methods, however cannot bring out the frequency transition path from band to band clearly, as there will be gap in the contour plot at the transition. For the proposed methods, the heart rate variability (HRV) real data is also considered as an example. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Discrete cosine harmonic wavelet transform and its application to signal compression and subband spectral estimation using modified group delay
    (2009) Narasimhan, S.V.; Harish, M.; Haripriya, A.R.; Basumallick, N.
    This paper proposes a new harmonic wavelet transform (HWT) based on discrete cosine transform (DCTHWT) and its application for signal or image compression and subband spectral estimation using modified group delay (MGD). Further, the existing DFTHWT has also been explored for image compression. The DCTHWT provides better quality decomposed decimated signals, which enable improved compression and MGD processing. For signal/image compression, compared to the HWT based on DFT (DFTHWT), the DCTHWT reduces the reconstruction error. Compared to DFTHWT for the speech signal considered for a compression factor of 0.62, the DCTWHT provides a 30% reduction in reconstruction error. For an image, the DCTHWT algorithm due to its real nature, is computationally simple and more accurate than the DFTHWT. Further compared to Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau 9/7 biorthogonal symmetric wavelet, the DCTHWT, with its computational advantage, gives a better or comparable performance. For an image with 6.25% coefficients, the reconstructed image by DFTHWT is significantly inferior in appearance to that by DCTHWT which is reflected in the error index as its values are 3.0 and 2.65%, respectively. For spectral estimation, DCTHWT reduces the bias both in frequency (frequency resolution) and spectral magnitude. The reduction in magnitude bias in turn improves the signal detectability. In DCTHWT, the improvement in frequency resolution and the signal detectability is not only due to good quality DCT subband signals but also due to their stretching (decimation) in the wavelet transform. The MGD reduces the variance while preserving the frequency resolution achieved by DCT and decimation. In view of these, the new spectral estimator facilitates a significant improvement both in magnitude and frequency bias, variance and signal detection ability; compared to those of MGD processing of both DFT and DCT fullband and DFT subband signals. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2008.

    Improved space vector PWM algorithm for three-level voltage source inverter in overmodulation region
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2013) Veeranna, S.B.; Yaragatti, U.
    In high power high performance AC drive industrial applications, multilevel inverters have established their importance, as they can synthesise output waveform with improved harmonic spectrum. In this paper, an improved synchronisation and symmetrical SVPWM algorithm is proposed for three-level inverter in overmodulation region for better utilisation of DC bus and to reduce harmonic distortion. The performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is compared with SHEPWM and STPWM for three-level voltage source inverter in terms of THD of line voltage and motor current along with fundamental component of the line voltage. It is shown that the proposed algorithm gives improved results compared to SHEPWM and STPWM algorithms. The algorithm is also verified experimentally on a constant v/f drive fed from IGBT-based voltage source inverter using Motorola power PC (MPC8240) based embedded controller. © 2013 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

    Real-time implementation of an amplitude-locked loop: A validation on the dSPACE DS1006-based platform
    (2013) Gonda, J.M.; Sumam David, S.
    The extraction of harmonics and/or the fundamental from a distorted waveform is an important process in the implementation of custom-power devices. Several schemes towards this have been proposed in the past. Among these, the algorithms based on synchronous (with respect to the supply voltages) extraction (both in phase and amplitude) have certain established advantages over the others. Amplitude-locked loops (ALLs) have been in use in signal-communication systems but are limited to sinusoidal inputs. There is a need for fast and rugged algorithms to synchronously extract harmonics and/or the fundamental from a distorted waveform in many power system applications. In this paper a real-time implementation of a novel scheme, which is based on an adaptation of an ALL, is presented for synchronous extraction of harmonics and/or the fundamental from a distorted periodic waveform. The operation of the algorithm, its performance, and its design aspects are briey discussed. The main features of this ALL are simplicity, speed of operation, noise rejection, availability of both fundamental and harmonics without much additional processing, and excellent insensitivity to distortion (robustness). Furthermore, it is applicable to single-phase or 3-phase systems. This paper reports a real-time hardware implementation of the algorithm, thereby validating it. The algorithm is implemented on a real-time hardware-emulation platform, a dSPACE modular system (configured around the DS1006 processor board). It is tested for various cases of interest and the results are presented. © Tübi?tak;.

    Improvement in Harmonic Reduction of a Zigzag Autoconnected Transformer Based 12-Pulse Diode Bridge Rectifier by Current Injection at DC Side
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Vidyasagar, V.; Kalpana, R.; Singh, B.; P, P.P.
    In this paper, to improve the harmonic reduction ability in the input line current of a 12-pulse diode bridge rectifier using zigzag autoconnected transformer with a dc side current injection technique is presented. Conventional 12-pulse rectifier does not meet the IEEE-519 standard and therefore current injection technique at dc side is used to shape the converter current to minimize the harmonic distortion in the input line current. The proposed converter configuration uses a zigzag autoconnected transformer with inherent ability to block zero-sequence components, which eliminates the requirement of a zero-sequence blocking transformer, and thereby reduces the overall rating of the converter. The current injection technique at dc side enables to alter the dc side currents, which further shapes the input line currents to near sinewave with total harmonic distortion of less than 1% and power factor close to unity. The proposed converter configuration is simulated and analyzed in MATLAB/Simulink. The effects of variation in the magnitude of injected current on the input line current harmonics in terms of power quality indices are analyzed. A prototype of the proposed converter configuration is developed, and experimental results are presented to validate the theoretical design, analysis, and simulation results. © 1972-2012 IEEE.

    Total internal reflection quasiphase matching-based broadband second harmonic generation in a plane-parallel uniaxial crystal of lithium niobate
    (SPIE spie@spie.org, 2018) Barma, M.D.; Deb, S.; Saha, A.
    The present work analytically investigates the generation of broadband second harmonic (SH) using total internal reflection (TIR) quasiphase matching technique in a plane-parallel uniaxial crystal having optic axis nonparallel with respect to the horizontal base. A computer-aided simulation has been performed using lithium niobate as the nonlinear material to determine the possibility of generating broadband SH intensity when broadband fundamental laser radiation is allowed to undergo TIR inside the crystal. The simulated results indicate a peak conversion efficiency of 5.22% with a spectral bandwidth (BW) of 116 nm, centered at 2.258 ?m in a 10-mm-long slab. The effect of variation in operating temperature, crystal length, crystal thickness, angle of deviation of optic axis, and angle of incidence of fundamental beam at the air-prism interface on efficiency and BW of resulting SH output has been studied. © 2018 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
