Une nouvelle méthode de test pour les convertisseurs ADC et DAC embarqués dans un système complexe a été développée en prenant en compte les nouvelles contraintes affectant le test. Ces contraintes, dues aux tendances de design de systèmes, sont un nombre réduit de point d'accès aux entrées/sorties des blocs analogiques du système et une augmentation galopante du nombre et des performances des convertisseurs intégrés. La méthode proposée consiste à connecter les convertisseurs DAC et ADC dans le domaine analogique pour n'avoir besoin que d'instruments de test numériques pour générer et capturer les signaux de test. Un algorithme de traitement du signal a été développé pour discriminer les erreurs des DACs et ADCs. Cet algorithme a été validé par simulation et par expérimentation sur des produits commercialisés par NXP. La dernière partie de la thèse a consisté à développer de nouvelles applications pour l'algorithme.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 11929036 bytes, checksum: e796f3e04cbf0cf6da3fa9648d4f9270 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-05-25 / This work presents a technique using carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) applied to single-phase asymmetrical multilevel inverters with diodes clamped, aiming to increase the amount of output voltage levels to improve signal quality, reducing the total harmonic distortion rate (THD). The technique was used in inverters of three, four and five levels per arm, providing an output signal with seven, thirteen and nineteen levels respectively, presenting two, six and ten levels higher than the equivalent symmetrical multilevel inverters. The technique was described with a set of equations and procedures that can be generalized for inverters of any number of levels. To verify the operation, simulations were performed using the PSIM program and an experimental assembly of an asymmetrical multilevel inverter of three levels was performed, using a field programmable gate array device (FPGA) in the implementation of the PWM modulator. Finally, the simulation and experimental results that prove the effectiveness of the modulation strategy employed in this work are presented and compared / Este trabalho apresenta uma técnica utilizando a modulação por largura de pulso (PWM) baseada em portadora, aplicada aos inversores multiníveis monofásicos assimétricos com diodos de grampeamento, com o objetivo de elevar a quantidade de níveis na tensão de saída, para melhorar a qualidade do sinal, reduzindo a taxa de distorção harmônica total (THD). A técnica foi empregada em inversores de três, quatro e cinco níveis por braço, fornecendo um sinal de saída com sete, treze e dezenove níveis respectivamente, apresentando dois, seis e dez níveis a mais que os inversores multiníveis simétricos equivalentes. A técnica foi descrita com um conjunto de equações e procedimentos que pode ser generalizada para inversores de qualquer número de níveis. Para comprovar o funcionamento, foram realizadas simulações utilizando o programa PSIM e efetuada montagem experimental de uma inversor multinível assimétrico de três níveis, utilizando na implementação do modulador PWM um dispositivo em matriz de porta programável em campo (FPGA). Por fim, são apresentados e comparados os resultados de simulações e experimentais que comprovam a eficácia da estratégia de modulação empregada neste trabalho

Thesis is devoted to a problem of Power Factor Correction on the low voltage level. It has still its own difficulties despite the fact that topic moved through long development. The main goal of this work is to offer reader variable procedure considering design process. It is based on use of measured data of network analyzer Meg30. The design algorithm has to share a maximum of eventual influencing factors. Therefore the body of master thesis goes through detailed analysis of Power Factor Correction.

Småskalig vattenkraft är en stor användare av reaktiv effekt då de ofta har asynkrongeneratorer. Det gör att det finns ett reellt behov för faskompensering, dels för att minska distorsion i nätet samt för att förbättra deras ekonomiska ställning, då elbolag ofta tar ut en avgift för överskridande användning av reaktiv effekt. Det ligger också i allmänhetens intresse att ha en god elkvalitet och hålla störningar och avbrott nere, vilket kan erhållas med faskompensering och filtrering av övertoner. Det finns olika tekniker för faskompensering med sina respektive för- och nackdelar som specificeras efter anläggningens krav och förhållanden. Dessa tekniker är ett kondensatorbatteri, passiv och aktiv reglering, övermagnetiserad synkronmaskin, static var compensator (SVC) och static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Med hjälp av simuleringar och ekonomisk kalkylering har deras egenskaper och investeringspotential analyserats. Det har resulterat i att ett kondensatorbatteri är en ekonomiskt god investering men med nackdelen att det blir en stor transient vid inkoppling. Aktiv reglering bistår med en snabb, kontinuerlig faskompensering men har större driftkostnader och en kortare livslängd. Övermagnetiserad synkronmaskin har en god ekonomisk framtidsutsikt men med en något långsammare reaktionstid. SVC och STATCOM är mer applicerbar på större anläggningar, eller för nät som har en större nytta av dess flexibilitet. / Small scale hydropower is a big user of reactive power, mainly because of their use of asynchrounous generators. Power companies are charging their customers a fee for an extensive use of reactive power. Which gives rise to a need of correction of the power factor as well as reduction of distorsion in the network. It is also in the interest of the general public to acquire a good electric quality in terms of keeping distorsion and interruptions in the network to a minimum. This can be achieved by using different methods for power factor correction and filtration of harmonics. These methods have their own inherent advantages and disadvantages described after the facility’s specific needs and requirements. These methods are a capacitor bank, passive and active regulation, overexcited synchronous machine, static var compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Simulations and economical calculations have been used to determine these properties. A capacitor bank has been proven to be a good economical investment, but it has high transients during switching conditions. Active regulation also shows a good profitability and provides a fast, continuous regulation of the reactive power, though it has higher operating costs and low life expectancy. The overexcited synchronous generator has a positive outlook in economic terms, with the drawback of a slower response time. SVC and STATCOM are more applicable to larger facilities or weak networks.

This master thesis has been carried out in collaboration with Saab, Avionics Systems in Jönköping, Sweden, during the spring of 2017. The thesis investigates unidirectional rectifier topologies in aircraft and the focus has been on evaluating the power quality requirements according to the aircraft standards, in the course of the More Electric Aircraft concept. Both passive and active power factor correction topologies are considered, discussed and compared. Simulation models are designed in MATLAB/Simulink and the procedures are presented. A modular concept regarding components is discussed where different power supplies and loads are considered. The simulations present both a passive 12-pulse auto-transformer rectifier unit and an active Delta-switch rectifier fulfilling requirements for aircraft such as the total harmonic distortion of the supply current. In addition, the input power factor is close to unity and an efficiency greater than 97% is obtained. Lastly, future aspects of each topology are discussed and necessary improvements to obtain realistic simulation models are presented.

The aim of this thesis was to develop user interface in LabVIEW to make typical measurements with spectral analyzer HP89410A There is introduced the theory of operation of an analogue heterodyne and a digital FFT spectral analyzer.

Further is described the program, which was developed for measuring frequency characteristic by white noise and by stepped measurement. It was also made a module for measuring Signal to Noise Ratio and module for Total Harmonic Distortion. In the last part of this thesis are shown the results of processed exemplar measurements.
