In this paper, a new predictive direct power control algorithm to control the PWM rectifier based on virtual flux (VF) is presented. In this algorithm, supply network and the line inductances are assumed as an induction machine and so virtual flux space vectors are assumed corresponding with the space vector of the network voltages. Instantaneous active and reactive powers and finally convertor average voltage in both stationary and rotating reference frames are calculated by the virtual flux space vector components. The main advantages of the proposed method are low total harmonic distortion of the input current and low ripple in the instantaneous active and reactive powers and direct current-bus voltage under harmonic distorted condition of the supply voltage in comparison with voltage-based predictive direct power control (V-PDPC) method. Proposed VF-PDPC method with space vector modulation switching strategy was tested in simulations and compared with the V-PDPC method. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: As a cost-effective and reliable alternative to standard three phase PWM converters, the low cost converters have attracted great attentions today. While the research trends mainly focused on using these converters for AC motor drives, some successful efforts in grid connected applications are also reported. These works use the voltage oriented technique to regulate the active and reactive power exchanges with the electric grid. This paper presents a dead beat direct power control strategy for grid integration of low cost three phase PWM converters. While keeping the advantages of fast and accurate power control associated to the VOC technique, the proposed strategy offers a considerably simpler algorithm. Extensive simulation and experimental results are provided which confirm the validity of the proposed technique. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

In this paper we present a new projective synchronization scheme, where two chaotic (hyperchaotic) discretetime systems synchronize for any arbitrary scaling matrix. Specifically, each drive system state synchronizes with a linear combination of response system states. The proposed observer-based approach presents some useful features: i) it enables exact synchronization to be achieved in finite time (i.e., dead-beat synchronization); ii) it exploits a scalar synchronizing signal; iii) it can be applied to a wide class of discrete-time chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems; iv) it includes, as a particular case, most of the synchronization types defined so far. An example is reported, which shows in detail that exact synchronization is effectively achieved in finite time, using a scalar synchronizing signal only, for any arbitrary scaling matrix.
