In this paper, we present a novel method to minimize flicker and gray scale errors automatically across the entire panel by using a compensation of the gray levels of image. It was realized by image simulation with feedback structure. As a result of simulation, we observed flickers from the simulated image. And we compensated the gray scale levels for original image. The compensated gray scale levels correspond to flickers which are generated by difference of pixel voltage in odd and even frame. And we simulated repetitively the compensated image by our block diagram for reduction flicker. Consequently, we confirmed flickers have been decreased more than 87%. Furthermore, our method provides visualization and valid prediction for improvement of TFT-LCD panel

고속열차는 전력계통에 전압 변통을 일으키며 시간에 따라 변하는 비선형 부하이다. 시간에 따라 변하는 부하를 해결하기 위해 쓰이는 가장 보편적인 방법은 누적확률을 사용하는 것이다. 플리커는 전압 변동의 크기에 따라 램프의 방출 변화에 의한 인간의 지각 효과로 정의된다. 본 논문에서는 고속열차 부하의 고조파 및 플리커 측정을 심도있게 분석한다. 그리고 측정 결과는 국제 기준인 IEC 61000-3-6과 IEC 61000-3-7에 의해 평가하고자 한다.

Resonant-type electronic ballast for a metal halide discharge(MHD) lamp is proposed and implemented for 400W MHD lamp. HID lamps have good color rendition, long life and good focusing capability but they have flickers by acoustic resonance when driven at high frequency. A new control method is employed to remove acoustic resonance related instability in HID lamp. By using the amplitude modulation, a spread spectrum effect is employed on the ballast. The control loop of resonant inverter is analyzed and a current is designed. The ballast consists of a power factor controller, an half-bridge resonant inverter, a simple ignitor and an integrator with OP-amps. The experimental results show the good performance as PF 0.93, ballast loss 22W at output 400W and the conducted EMI level is below 60dBuV.

This paper deals with single-phase unified power quality conditioner, which aims at the integration of series-active and shunt-active tilter. The series filter is used to compensate for the voltage distortions and the shunt filter is used to provide reactive power and counteract the harmonic current injected by the load. Also, the voltage of the DC link capacitor is controlled to a desired value by the shunt active filter. In order to verify the performance of the proposed conditioner, computer simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK were demonstrated. The results confirm that the proposed conditioner shows excellent performance to eliminate the harmonics and voltage flickers generated at the singe-phase nonlinear load.

In power quality monitoring, voltage fluctuation is one of the power quality problems, which cause light flickers. To determine the flicker severity, the flicker meter concept was developed in an IEC 61000-4-15 standard. Generally, voltage fluctuations are described as an amplitude modulation(AM). The flicker meter of IEC 61000-4-15 as an international standard for flicker measurement recommends square demodulation method to detect flicker signals from voltage fluctuation signals. This paper suggests a new effective method using filter bank to detect and estimate flicker signals, which do not need square demodulation. For the accurate detection of flicker signals, the filter bank is designed with a full consideration of the spectrum characteristics of voltage fluctuation signals described as AM. The frequency and magnitude of the detected flicker signals are estimated using recursive method. Computer simulations were performed on synthesized signals to prove validity of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a strategy of flicker mitigation for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine systems. In the weak grid system where the grid impedance ratio is low, the reactive power compensation only cannot suppress the flicker sufficiently due to the limited power capacity of the converters or the DFIG. For the full suppression of flickers, the active power smoothening using the energy storage system (ESS) needs to be utilized together with the reactive power compensation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results for a 2[MW] DFIG wind turbine system and by experimental results for a 3[kW] wind turbine simulator.

The instantaneous frequency gives a frequency value at a time instance. Thus, it is natural to use the instantaneous frequency for detecting disturbances of voltage signal in power line. Various instantaneous frequency estimators are introduced. By applying to different types of disturbed signals, we show the estimators' ability to classify flickers. Also, the computational costs are compared between different instantaneous frequency estimators. The Prony's method (PRONY) and the modified covariance method (MCOV) need relatively smaller amount of calculation than the Teaser-Kaiser energy operator based estimator (DESA II). For an AM-FM modulated signal, the tracking performance of different instantaneous frequency estimators is also compared. Through simulation, it is shown that MCOV produces less variant frequency estimation values than DESA II and PRONY method.

Now the IEC flicker measuring algorithms and its flicker index of $P_{st}$ and $P_{lt}$ are accepted internationally as standards. But it is recently found that IEC flickermeter has a main drawback that it cannot afford to detect the fluctuating patterns of voltage envelope caused by interharmonics higher than 102Hz in the 60Hz power system. This is brought about by two components of IEC flicker measuring steps, squaring and low-pass filtering. This paper presents the innate defect of IEC flickermeter and proposes a modified measuring method considering the voltage flickers by subharmonics and interharmonics.

In recent years, customers and power supplies are interested in power quality. Demands of customers are change from standard quality of distribution power system to various high quality of distribution power system. so, it is necessary to apply power quality compensator. in our project, we develop the UPQC(Unfied Power Quality Compensator of 45kVA which compensates power factor and voltage sag, interruption. it is very frequently occurred power quality problems. As a series and shunt compensator, UPQC consists of two inverters with common dc link capacitor bank. It compensates the current quality in the shunt part and the voltage quality in the series part. In this paper, we present simulation and test result of developed UPQC system. Test for UPQC are performed at voltage sag, flickers and non-linear load conditions. For voltage sag and ficker generation, we use RTDS(Real Time Digital Simulator) and power amplifier system.

메탈 할라이드 방전 램프는 연색성이 좋고 수명이 길며, 점광원이기 때문에 조명제어가 용이한 장점이 있으나, 고압 방전 할 때 방전관애의 음향 공명 현상을 감소하기 위하여 MHD 램프용 전자식 안정기의 주요부를 첫째, 구형파를 얻기 위한 타려식 하프브리지 인버터와 둘째, 저주파인 구형파에 고주파를 첨가하기 위한 플라이백 컨버터로 실현하였다. 이와 같이 설계 제작된 전자식 안정기로 70W의 MHD 램프를 점등한 결과 음향 공명 현상인 광속의 흔들림이 없는 매우 양호한 조명이 되었다.
