    Experimental study of Bipolar PV Inverter for nonlinear load
    One of the attractive options for converting solar PV DC/AC modules is a bipolar inverter as bipolar technique provide easy control and theoretically low-priced technology. A few drawbacks to this bipolar method, since it has a high voltage DC-link ripple, which can cause high harmonic inverter distortion. A smooth DC voltage is then needed to preserve the unstable voltage of the PV device in such a way that the overall harmonic distortion of the inverter is preserved at the regular stage. This paper will demonstrate the impact of unstable voltage from PV and connecting to the nonlinear load. The performance of the converter in term of efficiency and THD performance are monitored and reported.

    Design and Simulation of 2×1 and 2×2 Array Antenna at 5.8 GHz for Gain and Axial Ratio Enhancement
    A low gain and narrow bandwidth of single microstrip antenna element will not accomplish a good performance in wide applications. In this paper, the design and simulation of microstrip antenna with an arrays for gain enhancement were made. The suggested design is made up of four elements of microstrip antenna in rectangle shape which associated with an array pattern. The antenna is operating at 5.8 GHz. Each element is created with truncated-edge of rectangular shape which had an inclined slot on each patch which realize circular polarized capability. The design of the 2×1 and 2×2 of rectangular microstrip array antenna was implemented from the designed of single rectangular element of patch antenna as the basic building element. The designed 2×1 and 2×2 array were fed by microstrip transimmision line which applied a technique of quater wave impedance matching. The antenna design was etched on Rogers RT 5880 substrate which have dielectric constant of 2.2 and have a thickness of 1.53. All the designed structure were simulated in CST software. The proposed antenna finally will compared between both 2×1 and 2×2 design in terms of gain, axial ratio and reflection coefficient. The simulated antennas resonated exactly at the desired frequency of 5.8 GHz with reflection coefficient below than -10 dB which indicates good antenna designs. The 2×1 and 2×2 arrays obtained gain of 10.8 dB to 13.3 dB respectively. The results show that the proposed designed have an improved gain performance over the single patch antenna.

    Multilevel inverter becomes an alternative for high power and medium voltage applications recently and is more popular in renewable energy. The cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter is more suitable for the Photovoltaic application because it acts as a separate DC source for each bridge. This paper presents a selective harmonic elimination (SHE) modulation for single-phase cascaded H-bridge (CHB) five level inverter. The optimum angle of the transcendental equations is solved the fundamental and harmonic elements using the Newton-Raphson (NR) process. The proposed selective harmonic elimination (SHE) scheme is tested using MATLAB/Simulink simulation. These simulation results are then verified through experiment using microcontroller. The proposed SHE is efficient in eliminating the 5th order harmonics and producing a higher quality output waveform with a better harmonic profile.

    Implementation of Two-Stage Multilevel Inverter System using PIC Controller
    In this study, the Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CMLI) is described for use with infrared dryer loads. Because of the low harmonic distortion content and reduced voltage stress in the switching devices, CMLI is one of particular interest. The CMLI topology and the Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulsed Width Modulation (SHEPWM) technology were studied and evaluated. To evaluate the inverter, SHEPWM modulation was studied and applied. The system also includes a DC-DC converter. The converter was designed to be used in infrared drying system powered by direct current (DC) power where an increased output voltage is required. This study also presented an evaluation of performance using infrared load of the CMLI based on power used at 100 W. As a result, a comparison of input power was made, and an assessment into the converter's power quality in terms of harmonic content and overall efficiency was conducted. The implementation of the system by hardware had been able to reduce the harmonic to 15.5%.

    Unbalanced Current Mitigation of Three-Phase Induction Motor for Electrical Vehicle (EV) Applications
    Electrical Vehicle (EV) is the new potential of vehicles that can solve the issues of current transportation such the air pollution, global warming, and the lack of oil supplies. However, this EV still addressed some technical problems such as unbalanced current injection to the drive motor system, especially the integrated Solar EV system. The unstable current generation from the PV system and the current injection to the drive system has many factors. One of the methods to stabilize the current trajectories in the system is by applying the closed-loop control of the Proportional Integral (PI) controller to gain feedback on non-sinusoidal current patterns in the system. The distorted current pattern can be resolved and compensate thru the fine PI tuning and improve the current pattern and resulting in a stable current injection and reduce the harmonic content supplied to the AC drive system. The operation and feasibility of the system is analyzed and validated through experimental results.
