This paper proposes a new algorithm to generate a reference signal for an active power filter using a sliding-window FFT operation to improve the steady-state performance of the active power filter. In the proposed algorithm the sliding-window FFT operation is applied to the load current to generate the reference value for the compensating current. The magnitude and phase-angle for each order of harmonics are respectively averaged for 14 periods. Furthermore, the phase-angle delay for each order of harmonics passing through the controller is corrected in advance to improve the compensation performance. The steady-state and transient performance of the proposed algorithm was verified through computer simulations and experimental work with a hardware prototype. A single-phase active power filter with the proposed algorithm can offer a reduction in THD from 75% to 4% when it is applied to a non-linear load composed of a diode bridge and a RC circuit. The active power filter with the proposed reference generation method shows accurate harmonic compensation performance compared with previously developed methods, in which the THD of source current is higher than 5%.

In this paper, a novel control scheme compensating source voltage unbalance and harmonic currents for the combined system of series active and shunt passive power filter is proposed, where no low/high-pass filters are used in deriving the reference voltage for compensation. The phase angle and the reference voltages compensating for harmonic current and unbalanced voltage are derived from the positive sequence component of the unbalanced voltage set, which is simply obtained by using digital all-pass filters. In order to remove the phase delay in generating the reference voltage for compensation, the reference of 5th and 7th harmonic components is predicted one-sampling ahead. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified for 3[kVA] proto-type active power filter system.

The enhanced phase angle estimation algorithm is essential to supply the power stably under synchronizing with grid source. In this paper, we are proposed the novel phase angle estimation algorithm and verified the validity of proposed method as simulation with PSIM and experiments. We sort the harmonics element using high-pass filter(HPF) that have the cut-off frequency below basic element and make reverse d-q transformation. So, it can be restored the harmonics element at stationary axis, and we can get the fundamental voltage element of AC grid. Proposed PLL method have a rapid responsibility and a large margin at controller design than conventional method because it have a small phase delay and a sufficient controller gain margin. And, it can reduce the error of voltage rms value and axis transformation according to robust PLL algorithm against the harmonic and phase unbalance.

This paper proposes a control method for reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid current of three-phase grid-connected inverter systems when the grid voltage is distorted. The THD of the grid current caused by grid voltage harmonics is derived by considering the phase delay and magnitude attenuation due to the hardware low-pass filter (LPF). The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality theory is used in order to search more easily for the minimum point of the THD. Both the gain and angle of the compensation voltage at the minimum point of the THD of the grid current are derived with the variation of cut-off frequencies of the hardware LPF. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed control methods.

Fault currents are expressed as a combination of harmonic components and exponentially decaying DC offset components, during the occurrence of fault in power system. The DC offset components are included, when the voltage phase angle of fault inception is closer to $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$. The digital protection relay should be detected quickly and accurately during the faults, despite of the distortions of relaying signal by these components. It is very important to implement the robust protection algorithm, that is not affected by DC offset and harmonic components, because most relaying algorithms extract the fundamental frequency component from distorted relaying signal. So, In order to high performance in relaying, advanced DC offset removal filter is required. In this paper, a new DC offset removal filter, which is no need to preset a time constant of power system and accurately estimate the DC offset components with one cycle of data, is proposed, and compared with the other filter. In order to verify performance of the filter, we used collecting the current signals after synchronous machine modeling by ATPDraw5.7p4 software. The results of simulation, the proposed DC offset removal filter do not need any prior information, the phase delay and gain error were not occurred.

Phase angle control ac drives system gains a high popularity due to their simple implementation despite the disadvantage of their poor input power factor especially for large values of phase delay angle. Furthermore it generates subharmononic current at specific phase angle. As input current of do drive systems are sinusoidal, the power factor and subharmonic current characteristics are improve. This paper presents the application of a PWM control technique of do chopper system to reduce the subharmonic current and its characteristics using single-phase dc chopper drive system of universal motor.

유니버셜모터는 소형의 직류 직권전동기와 같은 기계적 구조를 가지며 교류.직류 전원을 양용할 수 있는 장점으로 동급의 일반전동기에 비해 높은 속도로 구동이 가능하므로 핸드드릴이나 진공청소기, 세탁기 등의 가정용 기기 등에 일반적으로 사용된다. 위상각제어기를 이용하여 모터로 입력되는 전압을 제어하는 방법은 간단한 구조 때문에 위상지연으로 인해 입력 역률 및 저차 고조파 전류특성이 좋지 않음에도 불구하고 널리 사용되고 있다. 브리지 정류기를 사용하여 교류 전원을 맥동하는 직류 전원으로 변환한 후 DC 초퍼로써 유니버셜모터에 입력되는 평균전압을 제어하는 방법은 제어기의 효율을 높일 수 있고 저차 고조파전류를 감소시킬 뿐만 아니라 저전력값에 대해서도 부하역률의 저하를 막을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 제어기의 방법으로 저가의 위상각 제어기를 구서하고 EH한 저가의 마이크로 컨트롤러를 이용한 DC 초퍼시스템을 각각 구성하여 저차 고조파전류 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

This paper proposes a harmonic a harmonic reduction technique of the parallel-connected twelve-pulse thyristor rectifiers. The proposed system is an improvement over the diode rectifier system with an active interphase reactor [2]. In this scheme, a low KVA (0.15 Po (PU) ) active current source injects a triangular current into an interphase reactor of a twelve-pulse thyristor rectifier along the phase delay angle. The current injection results in near sinusoidal input current with less than 1% THD. Detailed analysis of the proposed scheme along scheme along with design equations is illustrated. Simulation results verify the concept.

This paper describes a single-phase active power filter based on a newly developed digital controller. The developed controller utilizes FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm to extract the reference signal from the load current, considering the phase-angle delay of each order of harmonics. Optimized technique was applied for whole control algorithm to implement the real-time operation of developed controller. The performance of developed controller for a single-phase active power filter was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC. The feasibility of hardware implementation was confirmed by building and testing a prototype. The developed digital controller for a single-phase active power filter can compensate the harmonic current generated by the power supply for digital equipment.
