For optimizing the efficiency of the power switching devices, it is important to reduce the switching power losses. One method to minimize the switching power losses is to reduce the gate drain charge (QGD). In this paper, a 1.2 kV SiC MOSFET device with a buried oxide has been proposed to minimize QGD. The proposed design has been conducted by using the TCAD simulation program. The on-resistance (Ron,sp), QGD have been measured and analyzed based on the width and thickness of the buried oxide layer and compared with the measurement of traditional SiC MOSFET. The obtained results indicate that the QGD of 1.2 kV SiC MOSFET with buried oxide with WBO of 0.25 μm and TBO of 0.3 μm was reduced to about 31.3% which mean a minimize of power losses. The comparison results indicate that the proposed device with a buried oxide layer can be effectively used as an optimum solution for minimizing the power switching losses.

10.11591/ijape.v14.i3.pp522-532
Jayanthi Kathiresan , Gnanavadivel Jothimani
A non-isolated DC-DC converter topology is proposed in this paper, which is distinguished by its superior performance and reduced component count in comparison to conventional converter designs. The suggested architecture is especially appropriate for applications demanding a large voltage step-up since it achieves an improved voltage conversion ratio and excellent efficiency. The addition of a voltage-boosting element, which is an inductor combined in series with a switching device, to the source side of a conventional boost converter is a unique feature of the suggested converter. To confirm the converter's operating features, a thorough theoretical analysis has been carried out, including stability and steady-state evaluations. In addition, a hardware prototype with a 200 V output and 100 W power rating was created in order to test the converter's functionality. With a peak efficiency of 94.3%, the prototype showed good agreement with analytical forecasts. The suggested converter is a viable option for renewable energy applications because of its high voltage gain, small size, and efficiency. This is especially true for solar systems and other distributed energy sources, where low component counts and high step-up ratios are preferred.

Evaluation of sensorless VF-MRAS and FOC-MRAS of IM electrical drive system

10.11591/ijape.v14.i3.pp513-521
Moustapha Diop , Abdoulaye Kebe , Ibrahima Gueye
This paper evaluates the performance of sensorless vector and scalar control methods, namely field-oriented control-based model reference adaptive system (FOC-MRAS) and voltage frequency-based model reference adaptive system (VF-MRAS), applied to an induction motor (IM) driven by a space vector modulation inverter. In motorized systems, conventional control methods use mechanical sensors, which can be cumbersome and costly. To overcome these limitations, sensorless control techniques based on speed estimation have been introduced. In this paper, MRAS-based sensorless speed control for IM drives using rotor flux is used. This adaptive system uses a reference model based on rotor flux and implements closed-loop control. The estimated speed derived from the current and voltage models is compared to the desired speed and adjusted by the proportional-integral (PI) controllers. The performances of the approaches are evaluated in terms of speed regulation and minimization of electromagnetic torque and rotor flux ripples, through a comparative analysis of sensor and sensorless controls under various operating conditions, including variable loads and speed reversal. The simulation results obtained, using consistent criteria for both methods, confirm the effectiveness of sensorless control.

Gorontalo Province is one of the developing regions in Indonesia. The province has been actively building apartments since 2009. The construction increases population density and energy use intensity. Consequently, demand for electricity power rises. Renewable energy such as rooftop photovoltaics has the potential as a power source for the apartments, considering the abundant solar radiation in Gorontalo which is located near the equator line. Three apartments representing three levels of the inhabitant’s income are selected as study case for the application of photovoltaic (PV) on roof to achive net zero energy building. Simulation of PV energy to power the buildings is conducted using photovoltaic geographical information system (PVGIS). By utilizing monthly electrical bill data, it is found that PV on roof is sufficient to cover the building energy demand and achieve net zero energy building (NZEB). However, there is uncertainty of the fluctuation of energy demand due to the tenant’s energy consumption behaviour. The consumption intensity is limited only by the installed power on each apartment unit. PV on roof alone is unable to provide the need if it is employed to power the unit to the maximum extent.

The company has a problem of ineffectiveness in the layout of the raw material warehouse due to the use of storage methods that ignore factors such as the type, dimensions, and condition of the goods. This reduces the optimal function of the warehouse and increases the time to retrieve goods. This research aims to redesign the suitable and practical layout of the raw material warehouse by considering its form and function, as well as filling methodological gaps from previous research. The method used is class-based storage. Based on ABC analysis, the category with the highest value is class C goods, with 73 units. Meanwhile, from the fast, slow, non-moving (FSN) analysis, class F (fast-moving) goods have the highest frequency of movement, with a movement percentage of 63% for 10 units of goods. The warehouse slotting analysis shows an increase in the number of shelves from nine to 15 shelves with five different shelf models and layout changes in raw material warehouses 1 and 2. The class-based storage method results in a more organized layout, efficient movement of goods, and faster picking time to optimize warehouse functions.

An enhanced multi-mode control solution for a Z-source virtual synchronous generator (ZVSG) that makes use of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is proposed by this study for use in photovoltaic (PV) systems. As a potential grid integration option for PV systems, the ZVSG has great potential due to its steady and adjustable power production. A stable voltage and frequency output can be maintained by the ZVSG when it is running in a variety of modes, such as grid-connected, standalone, and islanding, according to the control approach that has been provided. The FLC is used for the purpose of controlling the switching frequency of the ZVSG as well as the DC-link voltage. The performance of the ZVSG is improved by the FLC-based control approach that has been proposed. This technique reduces the steady state error and offers a rapid dynamic response. The results of the simulation show that the recommendation for a control approach improves the performance of the ZVSG across a wide variety of operating modes and load conditions.

Induction motor (IM) enjoy certain advantages that include simple design, robust construction, reliable operation, low initial cost, easy operation and simple maintenance besides offering reasonable efficiency. Modelling and definition of procedures leading to good estimation of core losses in induction motors from material test data is still a challenge, is considered as problem statement. The major objective of this paper is to estimate the core loss in an induction motor (IM) by analyzing a selection of non-grain oriented electrical steel materials and then identifying for each represented whether it can be used both as stator and rotor core material. As core loss is influenced by factors such as air gap, B-H theory, eddy currents and excess loss coefficients and Steinmetzuhl factor, this study is intended to improve the electromagnetic performance of the motor. Influencing core loss are the amounts of flux density and elasticity of material. This study was accomplished by using three sorts of non oriented electrical steel: DI MAX-M15, DI MAX-M19, and DI MAX-M36. A 5 HP induction motor was the subject for finite element method (FEM) simulations whose results have been verified by empirical relations, which show the merit of using non oriented electrical steel as core material.
