This paper proposes a harmonics reduction technique for the input currents of three phase PWM converters. The quality of the phase angle information on the utility voltage connected to the PWM converters affects their control performance. Under a distorted utility voltage, the extracted phase angle based on the synchronous reference frame PLL method is distorted. This causes large harmonics in the input currents of a PWM converter. In this paper, a harmonics reduction method that makes the input currents in the PWM converter sinusoidal even under distorted utility conditions is proposed. By the proposed method, without additional hardware, the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the input currents can be readily limited to below 5% which is the harmonic current requirements of IEEE std. 519. Its validity is verified by simulations and experimental results.

Phase angle in grid-connected inverter is important information for current control. When different loads are connected to PCC(Point of Common Coupling) of grid, distorted grid voltage is taken place by load utility generating distorted current. Especially, in case the grid voltage is distorted by low order frequency such as $3^{rd}$, $5^{th}$ harmonic, phase angle of PLL output is distorted. This paper analyze problem of current THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) due to distorted phase angle by distorted grid voltage, and propose control method compensating this problem. Also, it‘s validity is verified by simulation and experiment.

본 논문에서는 왜곡된 전원전압 하에서 삼상 PWM 컨버터의 전류 보상 기법을 제안하였다. PWM 컨버터의 제어에 있어서 전원단 전압의 정확한 위상각 정보는 필수적이다. 동기좌표계 PLL 기법을 이용하여 고조파 전압이 포함되어 있는 전원단의 위상각을 검출하는 경우 전원 전압의 고조파로 인해 왜곡된 위상각을 얻게 된다. 이러한 왜곡된 위상각으로 컨버터를 제어하는 경우 입력 전류는 순수 정현파가 되지 않고 고조파가 포함된다. 본 논문에서는 왜곡된 전원단 전압 조건에 대해서도 입력 전류의 고조파를 IEEE Std. 519 규정인 5% 이내로 제한할 수 있도록 하는 전류 보상기법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The phase angle of the utility voltage is used in current control of grid-tied fuel cell power converter. Therefore if the detection of phase angle is a problem, Current control is affected by the distorted phase angle. This paper presents a problem of synchronous reference frame PLL algorithm for single-phase systems and proposes compensated synchronous reference frame PLL algorithm. The proposed method helps power quality improvement of grid-tied fuel cell power converter under distorted utility conditions. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Capacitor is basically used for the power-factor compensation and sometimes as the passive filter to reduce harmonics of nonlinear load. Since the impedance of capacitor is inversely proportional to the frequency. The harmonic current may result in the problems of voltage distortion and resonance. Capacitor has easily fall under by two harmonic components, a nonlinear load and a distorted utility voltage. The amplified harmonic current and voltage may damage power capacitor. Hence the pre-investigation of harmonic is needed before designing and application the power factor for reducing fault rate. In this paper, we analyzed that voltage and current with harmonics components act on the capacitor under the resonance condition. we concluded that both voltage and current harmonics have an bad effect on the capacitor and current harmonics is a bitter rather than effect by voltage harmonics.

This paper presents a novel control strategy for selective compensation of power quality (PQ) problems, depending upon the limited rating of voltage source inverters (VSIs), through a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) in a three-phase four-wire distribution system. The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active power filters (APFs) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The shunt APF is realized using a three-phase, four-leg voltage source inverter (VSI), while a three-leg VSI is employed for the series APF of the three-phase four-wire UPQC. The proposed control scheme for the shunt APF, decomposes the load current into harmonic components generated by consumer and distorted utility. In addition to this, the positive and negative sequence fundamental frequency active components, the reactive components and harmonic components of load currents are decomposed in synchronous reference frame (SRF). The control scheme of the shunt APF performs with priority based schemes, which respects the limited rating of the VSI. For voltage harmonic mitigation, a control scheme based on SRF theory is employed for the series APF of the UPQC. The performance of the proposed control scheme of the UPQC is validated through simulations using MATLAB software with its Simulink and Power System Block set toolboxes.

In this paper, a robust and fast grid synchronization method of a three-phase power converter is proposed. The amplitude and phase information of grid voltages are essential for power converters to be properly connected into the utility. The phase-lock-loop in synchronous reference frame has been widely adopted for the three-phase converter system since it shows a satisfactory performance under balanced grid voltages. However, power converters often operate under abnormal grid conditions, i.e. unbalanced by grid faults and frequency variations, and thus a proper active and reactive power control cannot be guaranteed. The proposed method adopts a second order generalized integrator in synchronous reference frame to detect positive sequence components under unbalanced grid voltages. The proposed method has a fast and robust performance due to its higher gain and frequency adaptive capability. Simulation and experimental results show the verification of the proposed synchronization algorithm and the effectiveness to detect positive sequence voltage.

The fictitious power theory in time domain is very easy to understand, but power analyzing time of active power is increased, because power is analyzed using signal techniques based on the correlation between voltage and current waveforms. Also, conventional methods in time/frequency domain to evaluate the compensation performance of active power filters are not provided easy solutions. So, the authors have previously proposed 3-D current coordinates which is composed into active component, fundamental reactive component and distorted component of nonlinear loads current. This method has excellent performance, but can not evaluate the characteristics of nonlinear load current whether inductive or capacitive. Therefore, To overcome problems mentioned previously, this paper deals with the simple instantaneous power theory and the modified 3-D current coordinates for evaluating the compensation performance of active power filters. To confirm the validity, active power filters simulator is developed using C-language. From the simulation, results are discussed their utility.

종랭의 시간영역에서의 가상전력이론은 기본파 무효전력성분의 계산시, 전압과 전류의 상호상관함수 알고리즘이 이용되며, 이는 많은 시간과 기억용량이 필요하게 되므로 DSP(Digral Signal Process)에 의해서만 비로소 실시간 전력분석 및 제어가 가능하게 된다.또한 3차원 전퓨 좌표계에 의한 종래의 능동전력필터의 보상성능 평가법은 평가대상의 부하전류가 유도성인지 용량성 인지 평가할 수 없는 단점이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 종래의 시간영역에서의 가상전력이론에 비하여 비교적 전력을 간단히 분석할 수 있는 평균전력이론을 제안하고, 유도성 부하 및 용량성 부하에도 모두 적용 가능한 능동전력필터의 수정된 보상성능 평가법을 제시하였다. 종래의 시간영역에서의 가상전력이론과 비교하여 제안된 방법이 동일한 결과를 얻으면서 DSP등이 필요치 않는 간단한 알고리즘을 C-언어에 의한 시뮬레이터로 그 가능성을 확인하였다.
