Assignment 1

1) A train is having 8 coaches and is driven by a locomotive. The locomotive has 30


wheels out of which 20 are driving wheels. Each coach is having 30 wheels. This train
has to be reconfigured as a suburban train having 8 coaches and no locomotive so that it
can develop four times the maximum tractive effort that can be developed in the
locomotive driven train. Further, each coach should have 30 wheels. Assume that the
weight of a locomotive, a trailer coach and a motorized coach are equal and is not
affected by the weight of the passengers being carried. Further, assume that each driving
wheel generates equal tractive effort Determine the wheel configuration (number of
motorized wheels, number of dummy wheels, number of motorized coaches, number of
trailer coaches etc.) of the reconfigured train. Once designed do a confirmatory check on
it and report its performance regarding its maximum tractive effort.

Q2) Consider the practical boost converter circuit shown in Figure 1 wherein the
inductance, L has a series resistance, r (which represents the coil resistance of the
inductor as well as iron losses of the inductor. Further, it also represents all the losses that
are incurred in the circuit). The capacitor, C is large enough so that the ripple in the
output voltage, V0 of the converter can be neglected. Similarly it can be assumed that the
inductor, L is large enough so that the current ripple in the inductor can be neglected i.e.
𝑖𝐿 ≈ 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝐿 = 𝐼𝐿 . The converter is feeding a load having resistance, R, and it is
operating in continuous mode of conduction with a switch duty ratio of D. A) Determine
𝑉
the relationship, 𝑉𝑜 . Hence determine V0 (i) D = 0 and (ii) D = 1. B) Find the value of D
𝑑
when V0 is maximum, and hence determine the maximum value of V0.

Q3) In Figure 2, the switch is operated at a switching frequency of 20kHz with a duty
cycle, D. L= 100μH. 1) Find the value of D at the boundary of continuous and
discontinuous mode of conduction. 2) For a value of D=0.5, find the power transferred
from source V1 to V2. 3) Can the circuit operate at steady state under continuous mode of
conduction?

Q4) Consider the dc to dc converter circuit shown in Figure 3. The switch is operated
with a switching time period, T and duty cycle, D. Vd is the source voltage and Vo is the
output voltage. You may assume that the capacitor is large enough so that ripple in V o
can be neglected. 1) Draw Vs and iL for a) continuous mode of conduction and b) for
discontinuous mode of conduction. 2) For continuous mode of conduction find an
expression for Vo in terms of Vd, D and T. 3) For continuous mode of conduction find an
expression for peak to peak value of iL in terms of Vd, D, T and L.

Q5) The buck-boost converter shown in Figure 4 is operated so as to maintain constant


output voltage Vo=-10V, as the input voltage Vd is varied. The switching frequency is
50kHz. The value of the inductor is 50μH and the value of the capacitor can be assumed
to be infinite as compared to other circuit parameters. 1) At the boundary of continuous
and discontinuous mode of conduction, what is the value of Vd. At this boundary what is
the magnitude of peak current flowing through the diode.

Q6) For the buck regulator shown in Figure 5, the switch, S is operated with a duty ratio
of 0.5 at a switching frequency of 5kHz. The inductor, L is having a value of 2.5mH.
Input voltage to the regulator is maintained at 100V. The output voltage, V0 is found to
be 80V. Find the value of load resistance RL connected to the output of the regulator.
Assume the output voltage of the regulator is ripple free.
