This research work is devoted to the design, and prototype implementation of a single-phase, unity power factor, Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Rectifier for use in traction converters of AC locomotives. The PWM Active Rectifier is supplied from a front-end transformer, with two isolated secondary windings. The associated power stage is composed of two single-phase, H-bridge voltage-source converters, which are interleaved via a common DC link. Interleaved connection of converters is used to reduce the line current total demand distortion on the grid side of the traction transformer, to comply with the IEEE Std. 519-1992. Control techniques and PWM methods used in AC locomotive traction applications are analyzed, compared and digitally implemented on a DSP microcontroller. The design and optimization of this system is achieved on MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment. The performance of the implemented system is tested on a low power laboratory prototype composed of the developed PWM rectifier, and a four-quadrant, frequency-controlled induction motor drive and satisfactory results have been obtained.

Design and Implementation of a Current-Source Converter for Use in Industry Applications of D-STATCOM
Bilgin, Hazim Faruk; Ermiş, Muammer (2010-08-01)
This paper deals with the design and implementation of the power stage of a forced-commutated current-source converter (CSC) for use in industry applications of distribution type static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM). The power semiconductors are switched at 500 Hz according to the switching patterns generated by selective harmonic elimination method for the elimination of the most significant four low-order harmonics. The possibility of using various power semiconductors in CSC is examined both theore...
Design and implemention of a three phase grid connected SiC solar inverter
Canver, Mehmet; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
In this research work a 30 kW grid connected voltage source three-phase inverter with SiC MOSFET module has been designed and implemented, in order to work with a phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) maximum power point tracker (MPPT) converter, in such a way that these two converters compose a full system solution. The emergence of commercial SiC based power MOSFETs, which have short turnon and turn-off times, has enabled to increase switching frequency as compared to traditional Si based switching components....
Design and implementation of an unregulated DC-DC transformer module using LLC resonant converter
Alemdar, Öztürk Şahin; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
A traditional high-power front-end DC-DC converter can be replaced with an array of paralleled standardized converter modules when modular design is applied. Modular front-end DC-DC converters represent many desirable properties such as expandability of output power capacity, redundancy implementation, simplified thermal management, and reduced design cost. However, in order to benefit from modular design, load current sharing must be accomplished among the paralleled modules. In this thesis, an LLC resonan...
Design and implementation of a current source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation
Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and development of the first medium power Current-Source Converter (CSC) based distribution-type Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) with simplest converter topology and coupling transformer connection. The developed CSC-D-STATCOM includes a +/-750kVAr full-bridge CSC employing Selective Harmonic Elimination Method (SHEM), a 250kVAr low-pass input filter at 1kV voltage level, and a Δ/Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium-voltag...
Design and implementation of a voltage source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering
Çetin, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, design and implementation of a distribution-type, voltage source converter (VSC) based static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) having the simplest converter and coupling transformer topologies have been carried out. The VSC STATCOM is composed of a +/- 750 kVAr full-bridge VSC employing selective harmonic elimination technique, a low-pass input filter, and a /Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium voltage bus. The power stage of VSC based STATCOM is composed of water-co...
