He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, particularly in the area of microprocessor-based control systems. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that enhances the efficiency of power rectification.
Latest Patents
Ali Mirbod holds a patent for a "Microprocessor based controller for a three phase bridge rectifier." This invention provides a method of controlling a six pulse bridge phase controlled rectifier using a microprocessor. The method involves synchronizing an oscillator to the frequency of an AC power source and driving first and second counters with the oscillator. The first counter works in conjunction with a phase-locked loop to monitor and adjust the oscillator frequency. The count of the second counter generates an alpha value used in a firing angle match routine. This match routine compares the desired output voltage to the cosine of alpha minus an inductance factor. Remarkably, the match routine takes less than 20 microseconds to run, allowing a new alpha value to be checked every 0.5 degrees for a 60 hertz power source. When a match is found, the thyristors are fired, and a reload value projecting a subsequent firing in 60 degrees is calculated for the second counter.
