This paper presents a simplified modulation strategy for the three-leg VSI fed two-winding induction motor. The strategy provides independent unbalanced voltage control for the main and auxiliary windings. This make the motor can be reversed rotation through the range of motor speed operation without limitation of voltage boost of the auxiliary winding. To study the advantages of the proposed drive, the experimental results such as voltage stresses, hysteresis band of the currents in locus, and also acoustic noise levels of the three-leg VSI are compared with those of the conventional two-leg topology. The results obviously show that the proposed technique achieves superior performance compared with the traditional scheme in case of dramatic increase of DC bus utilization, effective reduction of harmonic voltages content, and also significant enhancement of motor efficiency.

This paper describes a power quality analysis of a photovoltaic generating systems. Prior to the power measurement, domestic and foreign codes related to the photovoltaic generating systems were briefly summarized. After constructing about 5 kW photovoltaic systems, input/output voltages and currents were measured to compare and analyze the power quality by the module type. Based on the measured values, a couple of factors such as active power, power factor, total harmonic distortion(THD) was calculated and analyzed.

In this paper, a new simple control method for active power filter which can realized the complete compensation of the harmonic currents is proposed. In the proposed scheme, a compensating current reference generator employing resonance model implemented by a DSP(Digital Signal Processor) is introduced. Deadbeat control is employed to control the active power filter. The switching pulse width based SVM(Space Vector Modulation) is adopted so that the current of active power filter is been exactly equal to its reference at the next sampling instant. To compensate the computation delay of digital controller, the prediction of current is achieved by the current observer with deadbeat response.

Direct torque control(DTC) of AC motor has the fast torque and flux dynamic responses even though it has very simple scheme to implement. DTC is also very simple in its implementation because it needs only two hysteresis comparators and switching vector table for both flux and torque control. The amplitude of hysteresis band greatly influences on the drive performance such as flux and torque ripple, switching frequency and current harmonics. Therefore, authors analysis flux and torque hysteresis bands is suggested considering switching frequency and harmonic distortion of currents.

A high-frequency asymmetrical PWM control technique is proposed which can improve the input power factor of ac chopper and also suppress its harmonic contents of currents at both its input and load sides and the acoustic noises by its switching semiconductor devices. The ideal switching function for the proposed technique is derived and hence converted into asymmetrical PWM pattern for practical implementation of ac voltage regulator. Also the various power circuits of three phase AC choppers are suggested. The theoretical characteristics of the proposed PWM technique are investigated by digital simulation.

This paper presents an integrative control scheme for series-type active power filters combined with shunt passive filters not only to compensate for the source voltage unbalance and current harmonics but also to correct the power factor. To reduce the power capacity of the active filters, passive filters are connected in parallel. Diode rectifiers are replaced by the PWM converters in order to feed the real power back to the source. Power factor control is performed by changing the phase of the load voltage so that the phase of the source current coincides with that of the source voltage. The resultant voltage reference is the addition of the voltage component compensating for the source voltage unbalance and harmonic currents and the voltage component correcting the power factor. The validity of the proposed algorithm has been verified by experimental results.

Leakage impulse current of the contaminated insulators by using experiment data were studied. The impulse current in phase-time relationship was analyzed on line post insulators. Also, frequency components and crest factor of the leakage current were investigated to provide a scheme for an early detection of insulator incipient failure. The study shows that the phase-time characteristic is non-stationary and random and, non-harmonic component and crest factor can be promising parameters for detecting insulator leakage currents.

This paper presents the real time digital differential protection scheme for transformer. Inrush and Internal fault conditions are distinguished by the relative magnitudes of fundamental and second harmonic components which are extracted from differential currents. The algorithm is simulated and implemented using a prototype relay which is made up of Intel 80286 CPU and Motorola DSP-56001. The testing data of inrush and Internal fault signals which are sampled at a rate of 12 times a cycle are obtained by EMTP, and tested In real time using simulator which downloaded those data.

In this paper, a unified regenerative inverter system for railway with DC line voltage simulator is proposed. In order to determine the operation characteristics of the regenerative inverter, the DC line voltage simulator is proposed. The DC line voltage simulator, which is based on the AC-DC PWM converter, varies the DC voltage according to the fluctuating voltage which is measured in the actual DC line. The suitable operating point of the regenerative inverter can be estimated from the simulation result. The regenerative inverter operates two modes. When the DC line voltage exceed the operating point, already set up, it works as regenerative inverter to return the excessive power of DC line to the grid. When the DC line voltage is under the operating point, it works as active power filter to compensate harmonic currents. In this paper, the control algorithm of the DC line voltage simulator and that of the regenerative inverter is proposed.
