This paper presents a fault diagnostic algorithm for detecting and locating open-circuit and short-circiut faults in switching components of matrix converters (MCs) which can be effectively used to drive a permanent magnet synchronous motor for research in critical applications. The proposed method is based on monitoring the voltages and currents of the switches. These measurements are used to evaluate the forward trans-conductance of each transistor for different values of switch voltages. These trans-conductance values are then compared to the nominal values. Under healthy conditions, the values obtained for the fault signal is less than the tolerable value. Under the open/short-circuit conditions, the fault signal exceeds the threshold, hence enables the matrix converter drive to detect and exactly identify the location of the faulty IGBT. The main advantages of this diagnostic method include fast detection and locating of the faulty IGBT, easiness of implementation and independency of the modulation strategy of the converter.
In this paper a transistor open-circuit fault diagnosis problem in two-level voltage inverter controlled shunt active power filter drives was discussed. Taking into consideration requirements of the contemporary monitoring drive systems original transistor fault diagnostic technique were proposed. Presented results were obtained by designed in PSIM software simulation model.

This document summarizes an investigation of the performance of different passive filters on a three-phase DC to AC converter. Three types of passive filters were studied using MATLAB/Simulink modeling: an LC filter, an RC filter, and a PI (capacitor-input) filter. The filters were applied to a three-phase inverter using bipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation. Total harmonic distortion was calculated for the output voltage and current both with and without filters. The PI filter produced the lowest THD of around 0.7%, indicating it was the most effective at removing harmonics from the inverter output and achieving the smoothest voltage and current waveforms.
This document discusses modeling and simulation of three-phase power transformers to detect internal faults. It presents a method using MATLAB/Simulink to model a transformer's equivalent circuit that considers each winding turn separately. This allows simulation of different internal faults on individual turns. When faults are applied, the voltage and current signals are analyzed using Fourier transforms to extract harmonic components and frequencies as indexes. These indexes from simulated faults are saved to a database for comparison to real transformer fault signals to determine the fault type and location.
This document presents a new voltage sag compensation scheme that uses a pulse width modulation (PWM) switched autotransformer. The proposed scheme aims to maintain the rated voltage at critical load terminals during voltage sag events. It consists of an IGBT switch and autotransformer connected in series with the load. During normal operation, the thyristors bypass the compensator and supply power directly to the load. During a sag, the IGBT is controlled by PWM pulses to inject the missing voltage and regulate the load voltage. Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink show the performance of the three-phase compensator under different sag and swell conditions. The proposed approach has fewer switching devices and good compensating capability compared to other common compensators.
Closed Loop Non Linear Control of Shunt Hybrid Power Filter for Harmonics Mit...IAES-IJPEDS
In recent years, the amount of non-linear loads has increased considerably since there were improvements in power electronic equipment (such as adjustable speed drives or converter ac-dc, ac-ac, dc-ac and dc-dc) in industrial sectors which cause deterioration of the quality of the electric power supply through distortion of supply voltage and supply current. This has led to improvement of many stringent needs regarding generation of harmonic current, which are found in IEEE519 and IEC61000 standards. This paper proposes a non-linear function based closed loop control strategy (without load current extraction) for three-phase Shunt Active Power Line Conditioner and LC passive filter to compensate harmonics, power factor improvement and enhance the dynamic performance of Shunt Hybrid Power Filter (SHPF). By using a PI controller the DC bus voltage of the Shunt Active Power Filter is maintained constant. Results obtained from simulation shows the performance of expected hybrid filter in transient and steady state operation . This indicates that the controller is able to compensate even under severe load current imbalances.

In this paper is to study the denomination Power quality and large refers to maintaining a proximal sinusoidal power distribution bus voltage at rated magnitude and frequency. This is mainly affected by the generation of harmonics. Even though electronic and non-linear devices are flexible, economical and energy efficient, they may degrade power quality by creating harmonic currents and consuming excessive reactive power. This paper shows the method of improving the power quality using shunt active power filter with proposed optimized PI. The proposed topic comprises of PI controller, filter hysteresis current control loop, dc link capacitor. The switching signal generation for filter is from hysteresis current controller techniques. With the all these element shunt active power filter reduce the total harmonic distortion. Its source current, compensating current and THD values are studied, then PI control strategy is applied then the differences in THD are compared. The PI feedback compensation design starts with the small signal system' transfer function. Then an optimum constant of PI for a Shunt-APF is proposed and implemented to enhance its response to compensation of harmonics of linear and non-linear loads. The obtained results have demonstrated the ability to compensate the current harmonics effectively under distorted source conditions. The fluctuation in the dc bus voltage of the filter depends on the compensation speed of the outer loop that regulates the dc bus voltage. The proposed shunt active filter model uses balanced linear and non-linear load works successfully lowers the THD within IEEE norms and satisfactorily works to compensate current harmonics. The model is made in MATLAB SIMULINK and successfully reduces the harmonic in the source current.

PWM-Switching pattern-based diagnosis scheme for single and multiple open-swi...ISA Interchange
This paper deals with a fault detection technique for insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) open-circuit faults in voltage source inverter (VSI)-fed induction motor drives. The novelty of this idea consists in analyzing the pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching signals and the line-to-line voltage levels during the switching times, under both healthy and faulty operating conditions. The proposed method requires line-to-line voltage measurement, which provides information about switching states and is not affected by the load. The fault diagnosis scheme is achieved using simple hardware and can be included in the existing inverter system without any difficulty. In addition, it allows not only accurate single and multiple faults diagnosis but also minimization of the fault detection time to a maximum of one switching period (). Simulated and experimental results on a 3-kW squirrel-cage induction motor drive are displayed to validate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Study and implementation of comparator in cmos 50 nm technologyeSAT Journals
Abstract This paper describes the comparator circuits used in FLASH Analog to digital converter (ADC). The performance of FLASH ADC is greatly influenced by the choice of comparator. In this paper, first a single ended “Threshold Inverter Quantizer” (TIQ) is presented. The TIQ comparator is based on a CMOS inverter cell, in which voltage transfer characteristics (VTC) are changed by systematic transistor sizing. However, TIQ comparator is very sensitive to power supply noise. Another comparator circuit presented in this paper is “Two stage open loop comparator”. It is implemented in 50 nm CMOS Technology. Pre-simulation of comparator is done in LT-Spice and post layout simulation is done in Microwind 3.1. Keywords: CMOS, Comparator, TIQ (Threshold Inverter Quantizer), LT-Spice.
In real inverters' operations, it is essential to insert delay time in the pulses provided to the inverter switches to protect the DC link against the short circuits. From this situation, the dead time phenomenon is introduced that causes undesirable performance and distortion of the output signal. Previously, researchers have proposed various schemes for compensating or eliminating dead-time. In this paper, a new dead-time elimination (DTE) scheme is proposed with a guarantee algorithm to eliminate dead-time and overcome the issues produced at the zero-currents-crossing point (ZCC). This method does not require additional hardware or filters to determine the polarity of the output current, and its principle is very simple to implement. The developed DTE method completely removes the dead-time issues on the magnitude and phase of the output voltage, and avoid the problems which can be induced around the ZCC. The results confirm the effectiveness and safety of this method.
Dynamic Analysis and Testing of on-load tap changerLeonardo Nicolini
The dynamic resistance measurement (DRM) was developed to analyze the switching process of on-load tap changers (OLTCs), which have a high failure rate of around 30%. DRM allows detection of issues like arcing contacts or switching interruptions by measuring the fast switching process. To properly analyze DRM results, it is important to know the OLTC type and construction. DRM analysis focuses on features of the current curve during switching, like amplitude, which indicates contact resistance, and timing, which may show mechanical problems. Proper test currents around 3-5A provide a stable measurement. Shorting the secondary side increases sensitivity. Switching direction and tap position can impact results due to differences in winding configuration.

Modified Distribution Transformer for Enhancing Power Quality in Distribution...IAES-IJPEDS
The percentage of non-linear loads in the power distribution sector is increasing
day by day. Harmonics injected by these non-linear loads circulate in the delta
windings of the conventional distribution transformer thereby increasing the
temperature and losses. This reduces the efficiency and life of the transformers.
In a modified distribution transformer configuration proposed recently, called
star-star-delta_utilized configuration (YYD_utilized), the harmonics circulating
in the delta winding was utilized and the drainage power thus recovered was
used to power auxiliary loads. This paper presents the experimental studies
conducted on YYD_utilized distribution transformer. When compared to
conventional star-star, delta-star and star-star-delta transformers, the new
configuration of YYD_utilized transformer has shown considerable
improvement in transformer efficiency. The results obtained show that when
the power from the circulating harmonics is recovered and utilized, it not only
improves transformer efficiency but also improves the power factor
and reduces the harmonic distortions at the primary side of the transformer.
The results obtained also suggest the existence of maximum power point or an
optimum loading for the recovered harmonic power.

important before can sent the power among inverter-grid connection. This
technique can also been applied at the distributed generated sources when are
connected to the local microgrids. Here, the frequency and voltage

concept of the synchronous generator model in inverter control, it can cause
the inverter to behave as generator system, which does not required any
phase information from the grid in order to be synchronized.
Enhanced Crowbar Protection for Fault Ride through Capability of Wind Generat...IAES-IJPEDS
Due to increasing demand in power, the integration of renewable sources like
wind generation into power system is gaining much importance nowadays.
The heavy penetration of wind power into the power system leads to many
integration issues mainly due to the intermittent nature of the wind and the
desirability for variable speed operation of the generators. As the wind power
generation depends on the wind speed, its integration into the grid has
noticeable influence on the system stability and becomes an important issue
especially when a fault occurs on the grid. The protective disconnection of a
large amount of wind power during a fault will be an unacceptable
consequence and threatens the power system stability. With the increasing
use of wind turbines employing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)
technology, it becomes a necessity to investigate their behavior during grid
faults and support them with fault ride through capability. This paper
presents the modeling and simulation of a doubly fed induction generator
according to grid code compatibility driven by a wind turbine connected to
the grid. This paper analyses the voltage sag due to a three-phase fault in the
wind connected grid. A control strategy including a crowbar circuit has been
developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK to bypass the rotor over currents during
grid fault to enhance the fault ride through capability and to maintain system
stability. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control
strategies in DFIG based grid connected wind turbine system.

This paper introduces an improved of multiple harmonic sources
identification that been produced by inverter loads in power system using
time-frequency distribution (TFD) analysis which is spectrogram.
The spectrogram is a very applicable method to represent signals in
time-frequency representation (TFR) and the main advantages
of spectrogram are the accuracy, speed of the algorithm and use low memory
size such that it can be computed rapidly. The identification of multiple
harmonic sources is based on the significant relationship of spectral
impedances which are the fundamental impedance (Z1) and harmonic
impedance (Zh) that extracted from TFR. To verify the accuracy of the
proposed method, MATLAB simulations carried out several unique cases
with different harmonic producing loads on IEEE 4-bus test feeder cases. It is
proven that the proposed method is superior with 100% correct identification
of multiple harmonic sources. It is envisioned that the method is very
accurate, fast and cost efficient to localize harmonic sources in distribution

basic unit cells. The proposed MLI is able to operate in two modes, i.e.
charge mode to charge the batteries, and inverter mode to supply AC power
to load, and therefore, it is inherently suitable for photovoltaic (PV) power
generation applications. The proposed MLI requires lower number of power
MOSFETs and gate driver units, which will translate into higher cost saving
and better system reliability. The power MOSFETs in the basic unit cells
and H-bridge module are switched at near fundamental frequency, i.e. 100
Hz and 50 Hz, respectively, resulting in lower switching losses. For low total
harmonic distortion (THD) operation, a deep scanning method is employed
to calculate the switching angles of the MLI. The lowest THD obtained is
8.91% at modulation index of 0.82. The performance of the proposed MLI
(9-level) has been simulated and evaluated experimentally. The simulation
and experimental results are in good agreement and this confirms that the
proposed MLI is able to produce an AC output voltage with low THD.

components increases the probability of occurrence of faults, giving additional importance to the diagnosis of
faults in these systems.
There have been several methods investigating the detection and locating of switch faults in matrix
converters. The first method of detecting open-circuit fault in switches of MC was proposed in [6] and
developed in [7]-[9]. This method compares the measured value of the MC output voltage and the reference
value acquired from the modulation algorithm. The proposed method in [12], uses the measured output
currents, the reference angles of the input and output voltage vectors and the values of the duty-cycle of the
switching state for detecting open-circuit faults when the optimum Alesina-Venturini modulation method is
used. It is important to focus on the possibility of occurring faults in one or both transistors of bidirectional
switches. The method proposed in [11] is based on discrete wavelet transform analysis of the measured
output current waveform. This work has focused on the detecting of faults in only one or both transistors of a
bidirectional switche. However, the existing studies have been mainly concerned with the detection of open-
circuit fault, but the topic of short-circuit detection is relatively new and has received more isolated attention.
This paper presents a new method to detect and locate open-circuit and short-circuit faults in one or
more transistors of matrix converters (MCs). In section II the possible faults that may occur in the MCs are
presented. The proposed diagnosis method for these faults is then described in section III. Simulation results
and the validation of the proposed method are presented in section IV.
2. FAULTS IN MATRIX CONVERTERS
A three phase matrix converter consists of an array of three by three bidirectional switches. Usually
constructed by two power transistors (IGBT) and two anti-parallel diodes, each bi-directional switch may
have the common emitter or the common collector topology. When the gate is fired then depending on the
switch voltage polarity, it will conduct in one of the two directions. Two major types of faults can appear in
these IGBTs. These faults consist of open-circuit faults and short-circuit faults of one or more transistors.
Possible causes of open-circuit faults include driver fault, a power transistor rupture caused by short-circuit
or a soldering fault caused by high currents. The short-circuit fault of a power transistor may caused by an
over-voltage, a temperature overshoot or a wrong voltage at the gate due to a driver fault, a DC supply fault
or / disturbance.
An open-circuit fault results in a power failure at the motor drive. Short-circuit fault on the other
hand may cause uncontrollable damage to the system due to the resulting high currents. Therefore, it is
important to be able to timely detect the occurrence of faults.
3. MC FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASED ON TRANS-CONDUCTANCE ESTIMATION
As explained before, open and short-circuit faults may cause considerable damages to the system.
Hence fault diagnosis of MCs seems to be a necessary part of the system. In this section a novel technique to
detect and locate a fault in these converters is explained.
The main idea of the proposed technique is to estimate the trans-conductance of the IGBTs at proper
time i.e. when the IGBT is in its ON state. Using the estimated values of the trans-conductance during a gate
pulse one can compare it to the nominal value to build a fault signal. A new fault signal is proposed in this
paper to indicate healthy or faulty conditions.
To estimate the trans-conductance, it is necessary to measure the currents and the voltages of the
switches and then deduce the IGBT voltages. In each switching period i.e. during a gate pulse, only three
switches (six IGBTs) are selected by the control unit. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the currents and
the voltages of these six IGBTs. The currents of theIGBTs are the same as the phase output currents which
are measured during the velocity control process of the system. Hence, no additional measurements are made
by considering these variables. To obtain the collector-emitter voltages of the IGBTs, one can read the
measured values of the input and output phase voltages. The difference between these values can be
considered as the collector emitter voltages of the active IGBTs. As a matter of fact, the voltage and the
current of an IGBT are not constant during a gatepulse. As are shown in Figures 1 and 2 the measured
voltage and current across an IGBT shows fluctuations. Accordingly, the trans-conductance of the IGBT can
be estimated as the derivative of current with respect to the voltage:

Figure 1. The behavior of the fault signal versus trans-conductance
(1)
In which the first order derivative is implemented by finite differences. Depending on the sampling
rate, the number of samples along a gate pulse is limited. To build a sensitive fault function, it may be
necessary to interpolate the voltage-trans-conductance pairs to increase the number of samples. In this paper,
using the linear interpolation, the number of points was increased to 50. Assuming that the tans-conductance
in healthy conditions is denoted by then the fault signal was defined as below:
(2)
In which . denotes the expectation operator and represents the sample number. This fault
signal has the property that for the open-circuit case i.e. 0 will be 1 and in the case of short-circuit
i.e. ∞
Figure 2. The measured current across an IGBT
Will take the 1 value and in the healthy condition i.e will be zero.
The next step is to find a threshold to compare the fault signal with respect to it. To obtain a
threshold, the sources of error in the system should be recognized first. There are two main types of error in
the system. The first one is the sensor uncertainty or noise level which is represented by . The other source
of error may come from the tolerance of the trans-conductance which is called . To set the threshold it is
necessary to estimate the fault signal in the presence of these non-idealities. Assuming that the measured
trans-conductance can be written as:

(3)
Then, the fault signal will take the following form:
(4)
This in turn can be written as follows:
(5)
Figure 2 depicts the behavior of fault signal versus different values of trans-conductance. As can be
seen from this equation, if the number of samples during a gate pulse is high enough, then the measurement
error effect will be negligible i.e. 0. But in practice this depends on the sampling frequency. For
higher sampling rates this error will have less effect on the estimation. However, due to the limited number of
samples in the simulations performed in this paper, it is necessary to include the effect of this average. It is
well-known [12] that the variance of the sample mean, for as the number of samples used to estimate the
sample mean of a white noise with standard deviation of , will be . Therefore, the standard deviation of
sample mean will be
√
. Accordingly, the fault signal at multiple of the standard deviation will be:
(6)
Which in turn can be used as the threshold to maintain constant false alarm. This threshold is obtained at
standard deviation of the noise. One can trade off this value to reduce the false alarms. Accordingly, the
probability of detection will degrade.
4. PROBABILITY OF INCORRECT DETECTION
Since the voltage and current uncertainty or noise influence on the estimated trans-conductance,the
effect of noise on the proposed detection method is investigated. is the sample mean, for which is the
number of samples used to estimate. The variance of is
√
.
(7)
According to Equations (3) and (4), the fault signal will be:
(8)
To obtain the probability of incorrect alarm when the IGBT is healthy, the distribution function of
the fault signal should be considered.Since has Gaussian distribution and fault signal is dependent of

then, as it is well-known [10] for the probability density function (PDF) of a function of a random variable
with known PDF, the PDF of the fault signal can be obtained:
(9)
In which is the probability distribution function of . The derivative can be written as:
(10)
Knowing that:
(11)
Then, the distribution of can be obtained as follows:
(12)
Considering as:
(13)
Where is the signal to noise ratio for the transconductance signal. The the variance of noise will then be:
(14)
Consequently, the probability distribution function (PDF) can obtained as:
(15)
Having PDF, Prabability of the incorrect alarm can be determined.
According to the Equation (6) the threshold is defined as:
(16)
Then the probability of incorrect alarm for this threshold will be:
(17)
If the following deffinitions are applied to the integral:

(18)
Then the parobabilityof incorrect alarm can be obtained by:
(19)
In which, erf(.) denotes the error function. This equation, generally, shows that by using the
threshold in (16), the probability of incorrect alarm will be independent of the noise statistics, sample size,
SNR and will be constant.
5. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
5.1. Simulation Model
Simulations of the proposed diagnostic approach have been carried out using a developed
Matlab/Simulink model of an MC. The motor parameters are shown in table I. A direct torque control (DTC)
is used to drive permanent magnet synchronous motor. DTC directly controls both the torque and flux of an
electrical machine. The main advantages of this control strategy are its structure simplicity and robustness,
since it does not depend on the motor parameters. The switching frequency of the DTC drive is a variable
quantity that depends not only on the controller hysteresis bands but also on the slope of the developed
torque.

Figure 5 depicts the results obtained when open-circuit fault occurs. If the outputs phasevoltage
changes, the collector-emitter voltage will increase. Therefore, the trans-conductance decreases from its
nominal value and causes the fault signal exceed the threshold.
Figure 5. The fault signal under open-circuit condition
Figure 6 illustrates the fault signal in the case of a short-circuit fault occurring in to the IGBT
number three. The collector current increase dramatically and accordingly, the trans-conductance increase
from its nominal value and allows detecting the faulty IGBsT by exceeding the faulty signal from the
threshold.
Using this diagnostic method, it is possible to detect faults in any transistor independently of the
existence of faults in other IGBTs. Hence, allowing a fast and concurrent detection and identification of the
faulty components. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique for detection of
open-circuit and short-circuit faults in MC.

6. CONCLUSION
This paper present a new method for detecting and locating the faulty IGBT in bidirectional
switches of matrix converter. The proposed method is based on monitoring the voltages and currents of
IGBTs for appraising trans-conductance of each transistor. When any of the IGBTs causes open/short-circuit
fault, the dedicated value of trans-conductance makes the fault signal of the faulty IGBT exceed from the
threshold, which help the system identify a faulty IGBT and also the type of fault that happened. It’s worth to
say that the algorithm is based on divisions, sums and derivatives. Therefore, it is not computationally
intensive. Using this algorithm, it is possible to detect the existence of more than one faulty transistor at the
same time. Therefore, allows a fast and concurrent detection and identification of the faulty components.
