Assignment Objective: Power electronics is the application of semiconductor devices to the control and conversion of electrical power. The availability of solid state power switches such as the thyristor and GTO, BJT, MOSFET and IGBT power transistors, have created a very rapid expansion in power electronic applications. Typical applications are low power control of domestic appliances, high power control of industrial processes and very high power flow control along transmission lines. In this module, design and analysis of power converters, controllers and their applications are emphasized. This assignment is intended to appreciate the importance of power convertors in power systems. The assignment is divided into three parts. Part A is a report on digital control of power factor corrected power supply. Part - B is subsystem modeling, design and development of inverter fed AC motor drive for variable speed operations. Part- C is simulation of integrated subsystems for an AC drive with continuous and discrete simulation time. PART A 30 marks

Introduction Power factor correction is a modern concept which deals with increasing the degraded power factor of a power system by use of external equipments. The objective is to make the input to a power supply appear as a simple resistor. As long as the ratio between the voltage and current is a constant the input is resistive in nature, and the power factor should be unity. When the ratio deviates from a constant the input will contain phase displacement, harmonic distortion or both and either one will degrade the power factor. In simple words, Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor (PF) that is less than unity. New approaches to control power factor correcting switching power supplies, made possible with substantially more processing power than the previous generation. New control schemes have evolved with digital processing to replace analog control schemes. Problem Statement Compile a report on Digital Control of Power Factor Corrected Power Supply. Report should consider the following: Critically analyze the need for PFC and justify. Also comment on types of PFC

Introduction The induction motor requires a variable-frequency three-phase source for variable-speed operation. The source is realized by using a power converter system which consists of a rectifier, inverter in a DC link. In industrial drive applications, the PWM inverter operates as a three-phase variable-frequency, variable-voltage source. The voltage sources fundamental frequency varying from zero to three times the motor nominal frequency. Inverter-fed induction motor drive can be controlled with various schemes depending on the application, desired performance, and controller design complexity. Problem Statement Design and Develop subsystem blocks for a inverter fed variable speed Induction motor drive. The motor and inverter should have the following specifications: 50 HP, 460 V, fourpole, 60 Hz. Rs = 0.087, L1s = 0.8mH, Lm = 34.7mH, Rr = 0.228, L1r = 0.8mH Carry out the following: Choose one of the four control schemes for induction motor speed control with the above mentioned specifications Model the inverter block , current regulator to provide pulses to inverter and analyze the performance Develop and analyze the control scheme Develop a controller which maintains the zero steady state error
