This paper presents an electronic ballast to supply high power (>; 400 W) high intensity discharge (HID) lamps based on interleaved converters. Due to HID lamps voltage source characteristics and their acoustic resonance issue, it is necessary to drive them with nearly constant current (reduced ripple) with a square-wave shape. Interleaved topologies become widely used as the output current levels of power converters increases. A well-known topology is the interleaved buck converter (IBC), which presents as main characteristic a low ripple output current source behavior. Therefore, an IBC can be advantageous for supplying high power HID lamps. The main goal of this paper is to introduce an IBC operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) applied to electronic ballasts, in order to supply high power HID lamps. The IBC inductor design is the target point, since the number of cells, losses and inductor value strongly influence the overall performance in terms of size and efficiency. Inductances, magnetic core and semiconductors are analyzed and compared across the number of cells. Results are verified through simulation in PSIM software and experimentally.

This paper presents an emulation of fuel cell and photovoltaic modules based on the buck converter as a replacement of actual power sources for bench tests. This approach is suitable for power electronic designs involving power converters to interface source and DC loads or source and mains grid, without having available the real source. The output voltage of the buck converter is referred to lookup tables/equations with experimental data from actual sources under load variation to determinate the biasing curves and dynamic response. To validate the results, a comparison between simulated and practical results obtained from laboratory test with actual sources is performed. The energy source emulations with buck converters is a simple, safe, versatile, and effective way of physically representing DC sources for various laboratory tests.

As the output current levels of power converters increases, interleaved topologies become widely used. A well-known topology is the interleaved buck converter (IBC), which presents as main characteristic a low ripple output current source behavior. Due to HID lamp voltage source characteristics and their acoustic resonance issue, it is necessary to drive them with nearly constant current with a square-wave shape. Therefore, a buck-interleaved converter can be advantageous for supplying high power HID lamps. The goal of this paper is a proposal of an electronic ballast based on a two-cell buck-interleaved converter for high power HID lamps, with current control loop, voltage sensing and constant power. A DC model based on averaged state-space technique is derived for the ballast, as well as an AC model based on small-signal disturbances. The results are verified experimentally and through simulation in Matlab/Simulink and PSIM softwares.

This work proposes an integration of alternative energy sources having the different generating modules connected as current sources. These sources were configured to inject current into a common DC bus. This feature avoids current circulation among sources due to the voltage differences, reducing the stress in the individual generators. A battery bank is a system part, used as an energy accumulator for periods when there is primary energy depletion. The bus voltage is controlled by modulation of a secondary load in parallel with the main load. A DC-DC Boost converter connects each primary source to a common bus, except for the storage system that uses a DC-DC Buck-Boost converter. Finally, it is presented a mathematical analysis through simulated results to show the sources behavior and overall performance when turned into current sources.

This paper proposes an open source software implementation of an power analyzer, running in personal computers. The software uses the power definitions presented in the IEEE Standard 1459-2010. This standard defines the power measurement under sinusoidal, nonsinusoidal, balanced, and unbalanced conditions. The software uses the QT framework that provides easy cross platform compilation. Therefore, the software can be easily ported to different platforms such as Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposal.

This work proposes an optimization procedure based on a bootstrapped neural network interpolation approach and the Genetic Algorithm method. The bootstrapped neural network is used to generate designed data sets in order to estimate a mapping from input to output space in an intrinsic experiment in a motor drive vibration study. The optimization procedure is aimed to minimize the motor vibration by adjusting some drive control parameters.
In contrast to the standard algebraic multigrid, the Wavelet-based Algebraic Multigrid method relies more strongly on the smoothing method because the coarse spaces are chosen a priori. So, it is very important to dev...
