This paper presents a high gain modified three-port dual boost single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) converter operated hybrid photovoltaic (PV)/battery electric vehicle to improve the power transfer capability and efficiency of the power conversion stage. The proposed three-port dual boost high gain SEPIC converter accepts wide voltage range of input then the conventional single stage SEPIC converter. The three-winding high frequency coupling transformer integrates the two input sources and step-up the input voltage. The theoretical and experimental analyses are presented to validate the performance of the proposed modified SEPIC converter in boosting the wide range of input voltage. A 6 kW, 12 to 600 V of experimental model has been developed and tested. The efficiency obtained from the designed model is around 94.11%.

High-performance Current Source Inverter (CSI)-fed, variable speed alternating current drives are prepared for various industrial applications. CSI-fed Induction Motor (IM) drives are managed by using different control methods. Noteworthy methods include scalar Control (V/f), Input-Output Linearization (IOL) control, Field-Oriented Control (FOC), and Direct Torque Control (DTC). The objective of this work is to compare the dynamic performance of the aforementioned drive control methods for CSI-fed IM drives. The dynamic performance results of the proposed drives are individually analyzed through sensitivity tests. The tests selected for the comparison are step changes in the reference speed and torque of the motor drive. The operation and performance of different vector control methods are verified through simulations with MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results.

The main objective of this paper is to build a simple mathematical competent model that describes the circuits and interconnections of a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor used for industrial applications. This paper presents the detailed analysis of theoretical concepts used in mathematical modeling, simulation’ and hardware implementation. The objective of this work is to compare the dynamic performances of the vector control methods for CSI fed IM drives. Based on the results, dynamic performances of the proposed drives are individually analysed using the sensitivity tests. The tests that are chosen for the comparison are step changes in the reference speed and torque of the motor drive. Here the IM is mathematically modeled in different reference frames for input output linearization (IOL) control, field oriented control (FOC), and direct torque control method (DTC) which are designed using hardware equivalent mathematical equations. The most important contributions in this paper are mathematical simulation structure of IM model in rotor flux frame using current and speed that were developed and implemented in MATLAB-Simulink. The operation and performance of the different vector control methods are verified by simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and experimental results.
