DSP implementation of Fuzzy based Power Quality enhancement strategy for IPOS converter fed drive
The paper attempts to develop a Fuzzy based Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) scheme through the use of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with a view to improve the input power factor of a drive system. It corners to exploit the merits of an inherent decision making mechanism to construct a control algorithm and there from articulate a methodology to reshape the input current wave to a sinusoidal form. The procedure forges to facilitate an increase in the fundamental component of the current through the entire operating range. The scheme, investigated using a prototype model envisages to enhance the power quality indices of the AC-DC converter fed drive system, in addition to regulating its speed
Keywords: IPOS, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Fuzzy control, Power Quality.
