Conventional inverters have pulse-width-modulated output with a fundamental component at the desired frequency and magnitude. These converters are usually buck type and therefore the DC link voltage limits the maximum 3-phase output voltage magnitude. As a consequence, in motor drive applications field weakening is essential after a certain frequency of operation, as it becomes impossible to preserve the rated flux level. In renewable energy applications similar problems arise. When the DC link voltage falls, the rated output voltage at rated frequency is no longer achievable. Therefore, the energy available cannot be extracted from source. Some techniques are used to increase output voltage such as over-modulation. However over-modulation causes harmonics to increase and different problems arise. Thus there are two important issues to be studied for DC to AC conversion; obtaining sinusoidal output and boosting input voltage. Various studies on this topic are searched and analyzed. A method is proposed, implemented and tested. The results show that proposed method enables operation at rated frequency with THD being lower than 5% even if DC-link voltage is %26 lower than nominal voltage.

Adaptive control of DC link current in current source converter based STATCOM for improving its power losses
Karaduman, Ferdi; Ermiş, Muammer; Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In conventional three-phase PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) current source converter based STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) applications, DC link current is kept constant at a predefined value and the reactive power of STATCOM is controlled by varying modulation index. This control strategy causes unnecessary power losses especially when the reactive power of STATCOM is low. For this purpose, in order to reduce the active power drawn by STATCOM, the modulation index can be maximized by adjusting DC lin...
Design and implementation of advanced pulse width modulation techniques and passive filters for voltage source inverter driven three-phase ac motors
Nebi, Onur Çetin; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques such as space vector PWM, active zero state PWM, discontinuous PWM, and near state PWM methods are used in three-phase AC motor drives for the purpose of obtaining low PWM current ripple, wide voltage linearity range, and reduced common mode voltage (CMV). In some applications, a filter is inserted between the inverter and the motor for the purpose of reducing the stresses in the motor. The motor current PWM ripple components, terminal voltage overshoots, sha...
Design and implementation of a 200w microinverter for grid connected photovoltaic energy conversion system
Kavurucu, Semih; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
As one type of the grid-connected photovoltaic energy conversion systems, micro-inverters (MI, also known as Module Integrated Inverters, MII) are typically designed for residential applications with energy capacities of 3-5 kW and less, in order to provide PV module level energy generation, plug-N-play operation, minimization of the shading effects occurring on the PV module, and flexibility of installation. For the micro-inverter system which can be designed employing variety of topologies, interleaving f...
Design, Implementation and Operation of a New C-type 2nd Harmonic Filter for Electric Arc and Ladle Furnaces
Gercek, Cem Ozgur; Ermiş, Muammer; Ertas, Arif; Kose, Kemal Nadir; Unsar, Ozgur (2010-10-07)
In this research work, the transient overvoltage suppression capability and harmonic filtering performance of C-type 2nd harmonic filters are optimized by using two-stage damping resistors; one is permanently connected to the filter circuit, while the other one is switched on by back-to-back connected thyristors during furnace transformer and Harmonic Filter (HF) energization periods. However in conventional C-type 2nd HFs there is only one damping resistor, which is permanently connected to the filter circ...
Online application of SHEM to grid-connected inverters with variable DC link voltage by particle swarm optimization /
Güvengir, Umut; Ermiş, Muammer; Çadırcı, Işık; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, online selective harmonic elimination method (SHEM) has been applied to a voltage source converter (VSC) based grid-connected three-phase two-level inverter with variable DC link input voltage eliminating 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 19th harmonics in the output voltage. The switching angles of SHEM are given by a set of nonlinear transcendental equations. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used for the solution of this equation set, and this algorithm is implemented in the fi...
