Abstract This paper proposes a modified four-leg distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) topology for compensation of unbalanced and nonlinear loads in three-phase four-wire distribution system. DSTATCOM, connected in parallel to the load, supplies reactive and harmonic powers demanded by unbalanced nonlinear loads. In this proposed topology, the voltage source inverter (VSI) of DSTATCOM is connected to point of common coupling (point of interconnection of source, load, DSTATCOM) through interface inductor and series capacitance, unlike the conventional topology which consists of interface inductor alone. Load compensation with a lower value of input DC link voltage of VSI is possible in this modified topology compared to conventional topology. A comparative study on modified and conventional topologies in terms of voltage rating of inverter power switches, switching losses in VSI and power rating of input DC capacitor of VSI is presented. The detailed design aspects of DC link capacitor and interface series capacitor are also presented. The reference filter currents are generated using instantaneous symmetrical component theory and are tracked using hysteresis current control technique. A detailed simulation study is carried out, to compare the compensation performances of conventional, modified topologies using PSCAD simulator and experimental studies are done to validate the simulation results.

Renewable energy sources (RES) are gaining more importance in the present scenario due to the depletion of fossil fuels and increasing power demand. Solar energy is the one of the most promising as it is clean and easily available source. The voltage obtained from the PV system is low. This voltage is increased by high step up dc-dc converter which uses only one switch leads to low switching losses and hence the efficiency of this converter is high. To get the good response this converter is operated in closed loop manner. Integration of PV system with existing grid has so many issues like distorted voltage, current and reactive power control etc. This paper presents a four leg inverter which works on hysteresis current control technique to address the power quality issues like reactive power compensation, balanced load currents and compensation of neutral current. The switching to the inverter is designed in such a way that it supplies the extra current to stabilise the current of the grid that is being supplied to the loads. Finally, the proposed technique is validated by using mat lab/Simulink software and corresponding results are presented in this paper.

This paper presents a new hysteresis current control method for APF(active power filter) that can reduce switching losses effectively by means of adjusting the hysteresis band width according to the current size. On one hand, this method adjust the overall hysteresis band width according to the size of absolute norm of three-phase current that optimize the overall switching frequency, reduce the total switching losses effectively. On the other hand, it adjust hysteresis band width of each phase by comparing the output reference current to reduce the switching times which switching losses is larger, while increasing the switching frequency which switching losses is smaller, so as to maintain overall control precision. Computer simulation is conducted on an electromagnetic transient program. The results show that the new method can effectively reduce the switching losses under the same control accuracy and total switching frequency.

In accordance with the advantage of conventional hysteresis current control method, this paper advances a novel control method for APF. In conventional hysteresis current control, the hysteresis band (HB) is fixed and actual compensating current is limited in a fixed HB. Firstly, the connection between HB and switching frequency must be found correctly. Then, the variable hysteresis band current controller is designed according to the connection. Finally, the Matlab simulation results show that the switching frequency of VSI is held nearly constant and the proposed controller can track reference current well[1]. The problems of increasing switching losses and audible noise which happened in high-frequency state can be resolved in conventional hysteresis current control.

Hysteresis Current Control (HCC) is widely used due to its simplicity in implementation, fast and accurate response. However, the main issue is its variable switching frequency which leads to extraswitching losses and injecting high-frequency harmonics into the system current. To solve this problem, adaptive hysteresis current control (AHCC) has been introduced which produces hysteresis bandwidth which instantaneously results in smoother and constant switching frequency. In this paper the instantaneous power theory is used to extract the harmonic components of system current. Then fixed-band hysteresis current control is explained. Because of fixed-band variable frequency disadvantages, the adaptive hysteresis current control is explained that leads to fixing the switching frequency and reducing the high-frequency components in source current waveform. Due to these advantages of AHCC, the switching frequency and switching losses will be diminished appropriately. Some simulations are done in MATLAB/Simulink. The Fourier Transform and THD results of source and load currents and the instantaneous switching frequency diagram are discussed to prove the efficiency of this method. The Fourier Transform and THD results of source and load currents are discussed to prove the validity of this method.

<p>Simple constructional features with no windings on rotor circuit and robustness make switched reluctance motor (SRM) a most used motors in industrial applications. Peak motor voltage rating depends on the rated voltage of the power switches. In conventional asymmetrical converter driving SRM, voltage rating of the motor depends on rating of power electronic switches in converter. Demand to rise the motor rating insists to put pressure on converter switching components which results in increased switching losses. A cascaded converter topology for SRM reduces the rating of switching components as compared to conventional converters for SRM. This paper presents a cascaded converter fed SRM drive with reduced switching losses. The paper presents a simplified hysteresis current control (HCC) for cascaded converter fed SRM. Simplified HCC control method reduces switching losses as HCC is applied to only one bridge of cascaded converter. Though the performance of the SRM remains same with cascaded converter fed SRM with HCC applied to only one bridge or to two bridges and with conventional asymmetrical converter, the switching losses are reduced to a great extent when HCC applied to one bridge of cascaded converter fed SRM. Performance of SRM is illustrated with conventional asymmetrical converter fed SRM and is compared to cascaded converter while HCC applied to only one bridge and applied to two bridges of cascaded converter. Proposed work is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and results are presented.</p>

<span lang="EN-US">This paper presents the Hysteresis Current Control (HCC) to improve the power quality of power electronic converters. The development of HCC was implemented using Active Power Filter (APF) function based on rectifier boost technique to control the range of upper and lower bands. Through this technique, the supply current waveform followed the shape of the sinusoidal reference signal, thus, the distorted input current waveform becomes sinusoidal and in the same phase with the input voltage. As a result, the THD level and switching losses can be reduced, thus improving the power factor of the power supply system. In order to verify the proposed operation, validation of the proposed HCC was done through MATLAB. Selected simulation results are presented.</span>
