A new control method for a single-phase active power filter, based on a load current estimation using a DC capacitor voltage of active power filter without sensing nonlinear load current, is proposed in this paper. Because the method proposed can remove the load current sensor in comparison with a conventional method sensing the load current and DC capacitor voltage together, it can make the active power filter easy installation, low cost, small size with no performance detriment. In addition, sample-hold technique and proportional control method is adopted to control the DC capacitor voltage and as no delay element such as LPF or PI control in the conventional method is used, the transient response is fast and good. Operation of a single-phase active power filter which consist of eight mode is explained according to utility voltage, compensation current and switch state, and compensation characteristics of active power filter using proposed method is verified by experiment.

The active power filter has advantage of low implementation cost and compact size. using a half-bridge i inverter and a simple control circuit with only one current sensor. So. it can be fabricated as a plug-in type.

전원품질은 전원의 전압, 전류 및 주파수 성질을 나타낸다. 이러한 품질은 전력시스템에 대한 광범위한 전력외란이나 신호간섭 등에 의해 변화한다. 전력반도체에 의한 인버터, 컨버터, 제어기 등의 기술이 다양해지고 그 응용범위가 확대됨에 따라, 전원계통에 고조파에 의한 전력품질에 오염이 많이 발생한다. 전력전자기술이 응용하는 다양한 전력기기 들은 고조파 발생원이 되어, 전력에너지를 사용하는 모든 분야에서 전력품질 문제가 대두되었고 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울여왔다. 본 논문에서는 무효전력보상과 고조파전류를 보상하기 위한 3상 능동전력필터의 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 PWM 전압원 인버터의 구조로 되어있으며 두 가지의 특징을 가지고 있다. 첫째는 고정된 주파수로 동작한다는 점이며 둘째는 비선형 부하 하에서 부하전류의 무효성분을 검출 및 계산을 하지 않고 무효전력과 고조파전류를 보상할 수 있다는 점이다. 또한 시간영역에서 제어를 함으로써 간단하게 제어기를 설계할 수 있다.

In this paper, a bi-directional UPS with the performance of active power filter has been proposed. The operation of the proposed system can be divided into two modes, such as the active power filter mode and the battery back-up power mode. To improve the transient response for the effective compensation of harmonics and reactive power in active power filter mode, a novel closed-loop control strategy is used to calculate the reference current instantaneously. Finally, the performance of proposed UPS is verified by the simulation and experimental results.

전류 동기 검출법은 3상이 불평형된 전원 시스템하에서도 전원전류를 평형된 정현파로 보상해 줄뿐 만 아니라 순시전력이론에 비해서 단상에도 적용 가능한 이론이다. 그러나 종전의 전류 동기 검출법은 능동전력필터가 고조파 성분과 기본파 무효성분을 독립 제어하는 하이브리드형 능동전력필터 시스템에는 적용할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불평형 전원 시스템하에서도 비선형 부하전류를 유효성분 기본파 무효성분 그리고 왜형성분으로 분해하여 제어 가능한 확장된 전류 동기 검출법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위해, 불평형 교류 전원하에서 평균전력이론 동기 전류 검출법 그리고 제안된 방법을 실험에 의하여 비교 검토하였다.

Generally, the AC electrified railway systems have the power quality problems that are induced from the harmonic currents and the reactive power. This paper presents a single-phase hybrid active filter adopting a SRF(synchronous-reference-frame) control for improving power quality in the AC electrified railway systems. The single-phase hybrid active filter can compensate the harmonic currents and the reactive power through the proposed SRF control algorithm. The proposed control algorithm can extract the third and fifth harmonics through the MSRF(multiple-synchronous-reference-frames) which is used to apply the three-phase systems. Therefore, the hybrid active filter can compensates only the high-frequency harmonic currents whereas the passive filter compensates the low-frequency harmonic currents. Also, the proposed SRF control algorithm can compensate the reactive power by the closed-loop control. The Validity and the effectiveness of the proposed SRF control method for the hybrid active filter are illustrated through the simulation results.

This paper investigates the application of the anti-windup scheme to control U voltage of the three-phase four-wire active power filter, installed in a three-phase four-wire power system. In order to reduce efficiently the harmonic currents caused by the switching loads and to improve the whole performance of the flower system, the DC voltage of the three-phase four-wire active power filter should be properly controlled. PI controller can be applied to the U voltage controller of the three-phase four-wire active power filter. However, a large error input to PI controller leads to a windup phenomenon which deteriorate the dynamic characteristics of the U voltage controller Therefore, the application of the anti-windup scheme for the DC voltage controller is proposed and the improved performances of the anti-windup U voltage controller are proved through the computer simulation study.

This paper describes a load simulator with power recovery capability, which is based on the voltage source converter-inverter set. The load simulator can save the electric energy that should be consumed to test the operation and performance of the power quality compensator and the power equipment. The load simulator consists of a converter-inverter set with a DSP controller for system control and PWM pulse generation. The converter operates as a universal load to model the linear load and the non-linear load, while the inverter feed the energy back to the power source with harmonic compensation. the performance of proposed load simulator was analyzed with scaled-model experiment, interconnected with the active power filter. The experimental results confirms that the proposed load simulator can be utilized to test the performance of active power filter.

Harmonics and fundamental reactive current of nonlinear loads in serious unbalanced power condition, are compensated by current synchronous detection(CSD) theory which is also acceptable for single phase power system. But, the CSD theory is not suitable any more, in case of controlled independently harmonics and reactive component. Therefore, a new algorithm, the expanded current synchronous detection(ECSD) theory for a three phase active power filter based on decomposition of fundamental reactive, distorted components, is proposed in this paper. The proposed ECSD theory is experimented and tested comparison with a few power theories under asymmetrical condition in power system.

본 논문은 계통연계 목적으로 사용하는 LCL필터의 공진현상을 억제하기 위한 간단한 능동 댐핑 원리와 방법을 보인다. LCL필터는 기존의 1차 필터인 L필터에 비해 적은 동량으로 효과적인 출력파형의 고조파 저감 효과를 갖지만, LC파트 추가로 인해 허수축에 공진복소극이 존재하여 필연적으로 시스템에 공진이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 추가적인 센서나 수동소자의 사용 없이 LCL필터의 공진복소극을 상쇄하는 노치필터를 제어기에 적용하여 시스템의 안정성을 확보한다. 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 타당성을 입증한다.
