NROUCON ue t nn-linear nature f the cnerter peratin and nn-linear nature f the drie lad, analysis and cntrller design f the PWM cnerter is challenging. he PWM rectifier permits pwer flw frm ac t dc link, in case the lad is drawing pwer and, frm dc link t ac surce, in case the lad is generating pwer. Fr the fur-quadrant drie cntrl the PWM rectifier is used as frnt-end cnerter. uring the drie peratin, the dc link capacitr ltage is kept cnstant and ripples free. he three-phase input currents are maintained sinusidal and in phase with the supply ltages [1,, 9, 1]. he PWM rectifier cntrls the harmnics inected in t the supply system and ensures unity pwer factr peratin. he surce inductrs pride a pwer transfer link between tw three-phase ac systems i.e., (i) three-phase ac supply and (ii) three phase ac regeneratie/back emfs f the PWM rectifier [3, 6, 8]. GA is ery different frm mst f the traditinal ptimiatin methd. t needs design space t be cnerted in t genetic space. S, genetic algrithms wrk with a cding f ariables. he adantage f wrking with a cding f ariable space is that, cding discreties the search space een thugh the functin may cntinuus. A mst imprtant difference between genetic algrithms and mst f the traditinal ptimiatin methds is that GA uses a ppulatin f pints at ne time in cntrast t the single pint apprach by a traditinal ptimiatin methds, transitin rules are used they are deterministic in nature but GA uses randmied peratrs. Randm peratrs impre the search space in an adaptie manner [5, 13]. Each chrmsmes f the ppulatin are decded fr K P and K.

PROPOSE PWM CONVERER MOEL AN CONROLLER SCHEMES he schematic diagram f prpsed high pwer factr three-phase PWM bst cnerter is shwn in figure 1. he PWM cnerter permits pwer flw frm ac t dc link in mtring peratin and frm dc link t ac surce during generating peratin mde f the dc mtr. uring the drie peratin the dc link capacitr ltage is kept cnstant and ripples free. he three-phase input currents are maintained sinusidal and in phase with supply ltages. he cnerter cntrls the harmnics inected t the supply system and ensures unity pwer factr peratin. he surce inductrs pride a pwer transfer link between tw threephase ac systems i.e., (i) three-phase ac supply and (ii) three phase ac regeneratie/back emfs f the PWM cnerter. he cnerter is perated with uter dc link ltage cntrl lp and inner hysteresis current cntrl lp actins. he dc link ltage is sensed and it is subtracted frm the reference ltage. he dc link capacitr filters ut the ripples present in the dc link ltage. Larger ripples present in the dc link current drawn by the drie inerter, prduces larger dc link ltage ripples; hence, apprpriately large alue f the dc link capacitr is chsen t minimie the ripples. he reference ltage is kept equal the line ltage rating f the PMC mtr. Actual ltage is subtracted frm the reference ltage and errr is send t P cntrller. he utput f the P cntrller is peak alue f reference current. aid the reference current amplitude mre than the current rating f the cnerter, a limiter is applied. he limiter limits the peak alue f reference currents between a maximum and minimum set alues [10, 11, 14, 16]. Hysteresis current cntrllers are used t cntrl the PWM cnerter three-phase input currents. he peak amplitude f the reference current is multiplied with three unit ectrs. he three unit ectrs are generated using three-phase supply ltages btained frm the cmmn cupling pint. he three-phase supply ltage templates are diided by their peak amplitudes resulting in U a, U b and U c three unit ectrs in phase with phase a, phase b and phase c, ltages respectiely. hese unit ectrs are multiplied with peak alue f the reference current (btained frm the ltage cntrller) t gie ut three phase reference currents. Phase a and phase b currents are sensed and phase c current is prduced as negatie sum f the tw phase sensed currents. Actual currents are subtracted frm the respectie phase reference currents rendering the three current errrs. Using the three current errrs * a_err, * b_err and * c_err the hysteresis current cntrllers generate switching pulses fr upper and lwer GBs f phase a, phase b and phase c legs respectiely. With ltage and current cntrllers, the dc link ltage is maintained cnstant and input three phase current is made sinusidal and in phase with respectie supply phase ltages[5,9,10]. hree-phase ac L R C MOOR ic-(i a i b ) - a b c - a_err a b b_err c c_err Current Cntrller * m Ua, Ub, Uc Unit sine current templates Pulse Generatin Circuit Limiter Vltage Cntrller V errr - * ea,eb,ec Peak etectr igital Prcessr Figure 1.

OPMZAON OF P GANS USNG GENEC ALGORHMS GA wrks n natural elutin prcess. he elutin prcess is perated n chrmsmes. he decded structures uses f the chrmsme are respnsible fr the perfrmance and natural selectin is linked with the perfrmance. n natural selectin, the chrmsmes haing structure which pride desirable perfrmance are reprduced mre ften than thse that haing undesirable perfrmance. his natural elutin prcess is apprpriately incrprated in cmputer algrithms t sle difficult search prblems.he aim f the GA is t sle the prblem f maximiatin (r minimiatin) t be stated in the frm f an bectie functin. 3.1. Generatin f nitial Ppulatin he ppulatin sie is the number f chrmsmes in the ppulatin. Randm bits are generated 1 times (equal t the length f chrmsme) and ne chrmsme (string) is frmed. he chrmsme is decded fr K P and K and tested whether it is within the OK P4 K 4 O regin f Figure 3 r nt. f K P and K are within the OK P4 K 4 O regin the chrmsme is accepted therwise reected. tal numbers f acceptable chrmsmes generated are equal t the ppulatin sie.

PWM mdel including hysteresis current cntrller is simulated n MALAB, with each alue f chrmsme (K P and K ). he perfrmance f cntrller gains is udged by alue f AE (ntegral ime Abslute Errr). he perfrmance index AE is chsen as bectie functin. Fitness functin is defined as 1/ (AE1). f mre than 5% ersht ccurs in starting ltage respnse a 75% f the penalty is impsed t the fitness alue. here is ne fitness alue crrespnding t each chrmsme in the ppulatin. 3.3. Reprductin (Using Rulette Wheel Selectin Criteria) Each fitness alue is diided by the summed up fitness alue t btain fitness rati (FR) crrespnding t each chrmsme. he fitness alues crrespnding t each chrmsme in the ppulatin are scaled as (FR-min.FR)/(max. FR min. FR). Where, min.fr and max.fr are minimum and maximum alues f fitness ratis btained frm the fitness alues f the chrmsmes in the ppulatin. Scaled fitness alues are summed up. Each scaled fitness alue is diided by the summed up scaled fitness alue t btain scaled fitness rati (SFR) crrespnding t each chrmsme. A cumulatie SFR is assigned t each chrmsme by cumulatie additin f the crrespnding SFRs. he cumulatie SFRs lie between 0 and 1. Randm numbers between 0 and 1 are generated 0 (ppulatin sie) times. f the magnitude f generated randm number is equal r immediate belw t cumulatie SFR f a chrmsme in the ppulatin, the chrmsme is cpied t new ppulatin. tal 0 times (equal t ppulatin sie) chrmsmes are cpied. he prbability f generating a randm number is unifrm thrughut between 0 and 1, hence, prbability f selectin f mre number f cpies is high fr the chrmsme haing high fitness alue. 3.4. Crsser and Mutatin Crsser prbability is chsen 70%. Out f 0 chrmsmes, first 7 chrmsmes are randmly chsen in ne grup and ut f remaining 13 chrmsmes, anther 7 chrmsmes are randmly chsen in ther grup, the third grup stres remaining 6 chrmsmes. A randm number is generated frm 1 t 1(length f bits in chrmsme), this number is taken as crsser site. First chrmsmes f first grup and secnd grup are picked up and bits f their chrmsmes beynd the crsser site are exchanged. Anther randm crsser site is generated and secnd chrmsmes f first grup and secnd grup are picked up and bits f their chrmsmes after the crsser site are exchanged. Similar prcess is repeated fr all the 7 chrmsmes f the first and secnd grups are crsser. A new ppulatin is btained by cmbining the 14 chrmsmes f crsser grups and 6 chrmsmes f the third grup. Mutatin prbability is chsen 0.5%. n the new ppulatin ttal 0.5% string elements are altered randmly.

CONROLLER ESGN FOR HE PWM CONVERER he cntrl strategy f PWM Cnerter regulates input current and utput dc link ltage. he cntrl analysis f the cnerter can be simplified by making minr (inner) current lp independent f the uter ltage lp. he nly way t delink the inner current lp with uter lp is t make the inner lp much faster than the uter lp. he inner current lp can be made faster by keeping high rati f the dc bus ltage t the alue f the phase ltage and/r by reducing the alue f surce inductr and/r by impring the gain parameters f the current lp cntrller. he current cntrl scheme pted is hysteresis current cntrller as shwn in Fig 1, which makes the input line currents in phase with their respectie utility phase ltages. At steady-state peratin f the cnerter, the switching pattern generated by the current cntrller is fixed fr ne cycle f the utility supply frequency. Hence, the aerage ltage generated due t PWM ramp switching is als a sinusidal EMF [15]. he hysteresis current cntrller is in inner lp and it perates in statinary reference frame.he space ectr current equatin is represented as Es R L s E (1) i nput line currents, supply phase ltages and regeneratie emfs are represented by space ectr (Using Park s ransfrmatin) as belw π π 0 3 3 iae ibe ice ; 3 π Es eane ebne ecne 3 π Ei eane ebne ecne 3 π 0 3 3 π 0 3 3 Pwer balance cncept is applied fr design f uter ltage cntrl lp. he pwer balance equatin f the PWM Cnerter is d 1 VC 3 d 1 CV C Es R L () dt RL dt he erall aim f the cntrller is t cntrl input line current and utput dc link ltage.
