The major causes of power quality deterioration are harmonic current through semiconductor switching device, due to use of nonlinear loads such as diodes rectifier or thyristor rectifiers. In response to this concerns, this paper presents a new control method of single-phase active power filter(APF) for the compensation of harmonic current components in nonlinear loads. In order to make the complex calculation to be possible, the single-phase system that has two phases was made by constructing a imaginary second-phase giving time delay to load currents. In the conventional method, a imaginary-phase lagged to the load current T/4(here T is the fundamental cycle) was made. But in this proposed method, the new signal, which has the delayed phase through the filter, using the phase-delay property of low-pass filter, was used as the second phase. As this control method is applied to the system of single phase, an instantaneous calculation was done rather by using the rotating reference frames that synchronizes with source-frequency than by applying instantaneous reactive power theory that uses the conventional fixed reference frames.

In this paper, we have developed a ZVS half-bridge converter with a clamping circuit for the DC power source of PDP circuit. The clamping circuit in the developed converter reduces the oscillating current of the switch by resonant inductor and parasitic parameters in output rectifier diodes. Finally, comparing the experimental results of the developed converter to the conventional ZVS half-bridge converter, it is clarified that the developed converter is more efficient and lower noise than the conventional one.

This paper presents an intuitive and powerful way to study and design motor drive control. The control of induction motors, as most widely used machines, is discussed. Thanks to ultra low latency and high fidelity Hardware-in-the-Loop systems, different aspects of up-to-date drive regulation are examined. A power stage, comprised of a grid voltage source, a rectifier, a VSC inverter and an induction motor, is emulated on the HIL platform in real time. A digital signal controller is plugged into the interface board and connected to the HIL emulation platform, without any hardware modifications. For motor control and power electronics applications, a dedicated Texas Instruments TMS320F2808 DSP is chosen. The same controller can drive an emulation platform and a real device with no modifications. Current and speed control loop test results are presented and discussed.

This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torch. Series resonant half-bridge topology is presented to be a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. The plasma torch rated for 3MW, 2kA and having the physical size of 1m long is selected to be a high enthalpy source in waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. Circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the existence of load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides high enough ignition voltage around 5KA during ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

A novel AC-DC switching technology is suggested without inductors for one-chip semiconductor. The suggested converter consists of a rectifier diodes, AC source level detector, switching control, detector of over-current and voltage, feedback controller and switching block, The key technology of the proposed AC-DC converting methode is detecting of the low level voltage for AC voltage, power control transistor and rectifying of DC level. The measurement results with commercial devices show that the converter has power efficiency of 66.5% for DC 12V 0.24A and the standby power is 49.58mW at AC 110V.

This paper presents a method to find the fault location on the DC cables for the HVDC transmission systems which utilizes a hybrid topology of the diode rectifier and the voltage-source converter (VSC) in the wind farm (WF) side. First, the DC-cable fault occurring in this HVDC system is analyzed in detail. Then, the DC-cable fault location is detected from the two relative voltages located on the same section of the cable, which are estimated from a pair of DC-cable voltage and current measurements. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the simulation results.

This paper proposes a model predictive control based on the discrete Lyapunov function to improve the performance of power electronic converters. The proposed control technique, based on the finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC), defines a cost function for the control law which is determined under the Lyapunov stability theorem with a control error compensation. The steady state and dynamic performance of the proposed control strategy has been tested under a single phase AC/DC voltage source rectifier (S-VSR). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy not only offers global stability and good robustness but also leads to a high quality sinusoidal current with a reasonably low total harmonic distortion (THD) and a fast dynamic response under linear loads.

This paper presents an approximate model for computing the peak demand power in a metro railway system. The peak demand of substations can be calculated using the current vector iteration method. But the existing method requires many repeated calculations to determine the peak demand power, which makes it difficult to apply to the real-time peak power control problem. In this paper, we assume that none of the conditions vary except source impedance and make an approximate model for rapid calculation based on changes in the impedance of the power substation. The proposed model result is approximately the same as the existing model, which is demonstrated through simulation.

In this paper, a buck DC-DC bridge converter is used as a power factor correction (PFC) converter for feeding a voltage source inverter (VSI) based permanent magnet brushless DC motor (PMBLDCM) drive. The front end of the PFC converter is a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) fed from single phase AC mains. The PMBLDCM is used to drive the compressor of an air conditioner through a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) fed from a variable voltage DC link. The speed of the air conditioner is controlled to conserve energy using a new concept of voltage control at a DC link proportional to the desired speed of the PMBLDC motor. Therefore, VSI operates only as an electronic commutator of the PMBLDCM. The current of the PMBLDCM is controlled by setting the reference voltage at the DC link as a ramp. The proposed PMBLDCM drive with voltage control-based PFC converter was designed and modeled. The performance is simulated in Matlab-Simulink environment for an air conditioner compressor load driven through a 3.75 kW, 1500 rpm PMBLDC motor. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed speed control scheme, the evaluation results demonstrate improved efficiency of the complete drive with the PFC feature in a wide range of speed and input AC voltage.
