R dump converter without DC link capacitor for an 8/6 SRM: experimental investigation.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of 8/6 switched reluctance motor (SRM) when excited with sinusoidal voltage. The conventional R dump converter provides DC excitation with the help of capacitor. In this paper the converter used is the modified R dump converter without DC link capacitor providing AC or sinusoidal excitation. Torque ripple and speed ripple are investigated based on hysteresis current control. Constant and sinusoidal current references are considered for comparison in both DC and AC excitation. Extensive theoretical and experimental investigations are made to bring out the merits and demerits of AC versus DC excitation. It is shown that the constructionally simple SRM can be favorably controlled with simple R dump converter with direct AC excitation without need for DC link capacitor. A 4-phase 8/6 0.5 kW SRM is used for experimentation.

Parameter adaptive terminal sliding mode control for Full-Bridge DC-DC converter.

Project description:The poor dynamic performance problem of a Full-Bridge converter under a traditional control strategy is investigated in this study. A new parameter adaptive terminal sliding mode control policy is developed for a Full-Bridge DC-DC converter, by combining the integral part with the power function and differential function in the design of the sliding surface. In theory, the steady-state error of the system can approach zero within a short time. To manage the un-ideal situation after using a fixed value of power ?, an improved ? adaptive algorithm is proposed. The system output is tracked and ? is adjusted in real time. The effect of the system can be guaranteed always in an optimal state. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed design method under different conditions.

High-performance fractional order terminal sliding mode control strategy for DC-DC Buck converter.

Project description:This paper presents an adaption of the fractional order terminal sliding mode control (AFTSMC) strategy for DC-DC Buck converter. The following strategy aims to design a novel nonlinear sliding surface function, with a double closed-loop structure of voltage and current. This strategy is a fusion of two characteristics: terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) and fractional order calculation (FOC). In addition, the influence of "the controller parameters" on the "performance of double closed-loop system" is investigated. It is observed that the value of terminal power has to be chosen to make a compromise between start-up and transient response of the converter. Therefore the AFTSMC strategy chooses the value of the terminal power adaptively, and this strategy can lead to the appropriate number of fractional order as well. Furthermore, through the fractional order analysis, the system can reach the sliding mode surface in a finite time. And the theoretical considerations are verified by numerical simulation. The performance of the AFTSMC and TSMC strategies is tested by computer simulations. And the comparison simulation results show that the AFTSMC exhibits a considerable improvement in terms of a faster output voltage response during load changes. Moreover, AFTSMC obtains a faster dynamical response, smaller steady-state error rate and lower overshoot.

High voltage DC power supply with power factor correction based on LLC resonant converter.

Project description:This paper presents analysis, design and experimentation of a high voltage DC power supply (HVDCPS) with power factor correction based on LLC resonant converter. For power factor correction improvement, the proposed topology has an input rectifier with two filter capacitors, two inductors with a bus capacitor (Cbus) and a resonant tank. To prevent the reverse current flow towards the source diodes (D9 & D10) are employed. A couple of power switches are inserted in a single leg that makes a half-bridge network. To form an LLC resonance circuit, a capacitor and two inductors are connected to the primary winding of the high voltage transformer (HVT). To rectify the high frequency and high voltage, a full-bridge rectifier is inserted to secondary side of high voltage transformer (HVT). The secondary diodes always get on and off under zero current switching (ZCS) due to discontinuous conduction mode of proposed topology. It is found that due to power factor correction, less cost, lower losses and smaller size, the proposed topology achieves several major improvements over the conventional high voltage power supply. To obtain zero voltage switching (ZVS) the converter operate in a narrow frequency range. The output voltage can be varied or regulate through pulse width modulation of power switches. Due to ZVS and ZCS, the proposed topology has minimum switching losses and therefore higher efficiency. To verify the feasibility of the proposed topology a prototype is being implemented and verified by simulation & experimental results for 1.5KV prototype of the proposed topology. The results make sure the achievement, good efficiency and successful operation of the proposed topology.

Sensorless load torque estimation and passivity based control of buck converter fed DC motor.

Project description:Passivity based control of DC motor in sensorless configuration is proposed in this paper. Exact tracking error dynamics passive output feedback control is used for stabilizing the speed of Buck converter fed DC motor under various load torques such as constant type, fan type, propeller type, and unknown load torques. Under load conditions, sensorless online algebraic approach is proposed, and it is compared with sensorless reduced order observer approach. The former produces better response in estimating the load torque. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to select the appropriate control variables. Simulation and experimental results fully confirm the superiority of the proposed approach suggested in this paper.

Human herpesvirus 6A partially suppresses functional properties of DC without viral replication.

Project description:Human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) is a common virus with a worldwide distribution that has been associated with multiple sclerosis. Whether HHV-6A can replicate in dendritic cells (DC) and how the infection might modulate the functional properties of the cell are currently not well known and need further investigations. Here, we show that a non-productive infection of HHV-6A in DC leads to the up-regulation of HLA-ABC, via autocrine IFN-? signaling, as well as the up-regulation of HLA-DR and CD86. However, HHV-6A exposure reduces IL-8 secretion by DC and their capacity to stimulate allogenic T cell proliferation. The ability to suppress DC functions important for activation of innate and adaptive immune responses might be one successful strategy by which HHV-6A avoids the induction of appropriate host defense mechanisms, and thus facilitating persistent infection.

An investigation of pyridinoline, and putative collagen cross-link.

Project description:A component, termed pyridinoline, has been reported to be derived from 'lysine aldehyde' (2,6-diaminohexanaldehyde) and designated as the stable cross-link of mature collagen. Commerically prepared collagen and freshly obtained mature bovine tendon collagen were both investigated with regard to their pyridinoline content. Both sources of material could be depleted of this component by mild washing procedures. Pepsin-solubilized collagen and peptides derived from CNBr cleavage of intact collagen did not contain the compound. Pure pyridinoline was isolated and shown to be hydrolysed by water, as previously reported, but neither hydroxylysine nor lysine could be ds not a cross-linking component of collagen.

Investigation of the Space Charge and DC Breakdown Behavior of XLPE/?-Al2O3 Nanocomposites.

Project description:This paper describes the effects of ?-Al2O3 nanosheets on the direct current voltage breakdown strength and space charge accumulation in crosslinked polyethylene/?-Al2O3 nanocomposites. The ?-Al2O3 nanosheets with a uniform size and high aspect ratio were synthesized, surface-modified, and characterized. The ?-Al2O3 nanosheets were uniformly distributed into a crosslinked polyethylene matrix by mechanical blending and hot-press crosslinking. Direct current breakdown testing, electrical conductivity tests, and measurements of space charge indicated that the addition of ?-Al2O3 nanosheets introduced a large number of deep traps, blocked the charge injection, and decreased the charge carrier mobility, thereby significantly reducing the conductivity (from 3.25 × 10-13 S/m to 1.04 × 10-13 S/m), improving the direct current breakdown strength (from 220 to 320 kV/mm) and suppressing the space charge accumulation in the crosslinked polyethylene matrix. Besides, the results of direct current breakdown testing and electrical conductivity tests also showed that the surface modification of ?-Al2O3 nanosheets effectively improved the direct current breakdown strength and reduced the conductivity of crosslinked polyethylene/?-Al2O3 nanocomposites.

Investigation of Antibacterial and Antiinflammatory Activities of Proanthocyanidins from Pelargonium sidoides DC Root Extract.

Project description:The study explores antibacterial, antiinflammatory and cytoprotective capacity of Pelargonium sidoides DC root extract (PSRE) and proanthocyanidin fraction from PSRE (PACN) under conditions characteristic for periodontal disease. Following previous finding that PACN exerts stronger suppression of Porphyromonas gingivalis compared to the effect on commensal Streptococcus salivarius, the current work continues antibacterial investigation on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Escherichia coli. PSRE and PACN are also studied for their ability to prevent gingival fibroblast cell death in the presence of bacteria or bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), to block LPS- or LPS + IFN?-induced release of inflammatory mediators, gene expression and surface antigen presentation. Both PSRE and PACN were more efficient in suppressing Staphylococcus and Aggregatibacter compared to Escherichia, prevented A. actinomycetemcomitans- and LPS-induced death of fibroblasts, decreased LPS-induced release of interleukin-8 and prostaglandin E2 from fibroblasts and IL-6 from leukocytes, blocked expression of IL-1?, iNOS, and surface presentation of CD80 and CD86 in LPS + IFN?-treated macrophages, and IL-1? and COX-2 expression in LPS-treated leukocytes. None of the investigated substances affected either the level of secretion or expression of TNF?. In conclusion, PSRE, and especially PACN, possess strong antibacterial, antiinflammatory and gingival tissue protecting properties under periodontitis-mimicking conditions and are suggestable candidates for treatment of the disease.

Multidirectional Pharma-Toxicological Study on Harpagophytum procumbens DC. ex Meisn.: An IBD-Focused Investigation.

Project description:In the present study, we investigated the water extract of Harpagophytum procumbens DC. ex Meisn. in an experimental model of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Additionally, a microbiological investigation was carried out to discriminate the efficacy against bacterial and fungal strains involved in IBDs. Finally, an untargeted proteomic analysis was conducted on more than one hundred colon proteins involved in tissue morphology and metabolism. The extract was effective in blunting the production of oxidative stress and inflammation, including serotonin, prostaglandins, cytokines, and transcription factors. Additionally, the extract inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and C. tropicalis. The extract was also able to exert a pro-homeostatic effect on the levels of a wide plethora of colon proteins, thus corroborating a protective effect. Conversely, the supraphysiological downregulation of cytoskeletal-related proteins involved in tissue morphology and antimicrobial barrier function suggests a warning in the use of food supplements containing H. procumbens extracts.
