For grid-connected LCL-filtered inverters, the inverter-side current can be used as the control object with one current sensor for both LCL resonance damping and over-current protection, while the grid-voltage feedforward or harmonic resonant compensator is used for suppressing low-order grid current harmonics. However, it was found that the grid current harmonics were high and often beyond the standard limitations with this control. The limitations of the inverter-side current control in suppressing low-order grid current harmonics are analyzed through inverter output impedance modeling. No matter which compensator is used, the maximum magnitudes of the inverter output impedance at lower frequencies are closely related to the LCL parameters and are decreased by increasing the control delay. Then, to improve the grid current quality without complicating the control or design, this study proposes designing the filter capacitance considering the current harmonic constraint and using a PWM mode with a short control delay. Test results have confirmed the limitation and verified the performance of the improved approaches.

This paper presents a simple notch filter, which is so suitable for three-phase unbalanced and distorted power line. In the d-q synchronous transformation, three-phase unbalanced and distorted voltages generate lots of ripple voltages on d-q axes. The ripples make disturbances on controllers such as PLL of phase tracking. Unbalanced state makes ripple of double the frequency of power line. Odd harmonics 5th and 7th on the line make even 4th and 6th ripples on d-q axes due to the rotating reference frame, respectively. Cascaded two comb filters, delay lines 1/4T and 1/8T, are adopted for the ripple rejection. The filter rejects harmonics 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th and so on. They are very effective to remove the ripples of both unbalance and distortion. The filter, implemented by two FIFOs on an experimental system, is adopted on a PLL controller of power line phase tracking. Through the simulation and experimental results, performance of the proposed comb filter has been validated.

This paper presented a novel approach for the design of a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passband center frequencies and bandwidths. The newly proposed dual-band filter principally comprised two dual-mode single band filters using common input/output lines. Each single BPF was realized using a varactor-loaded transmission line resonator. To suppress the harmonics over a broad bandwidth, a defected ground structure was used at the input/output feeding lines. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed filter exhibited the first passband center frequency tunable range from 1.48 to 1.8 GHz with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation from 5.76% to 8.55%, while the second passband center's frequency tunable range was 2.40 to 2.88 GHz with a 3-dB FBW variation from 8.28% to 12.42%. The measured results of the proposed filters showed a rejection level of 19 dB up to more than 10 times the highest center frequency of the first passband.

본 논문에서는 VHF($169{\sim}211\;MHz$)용 대역 통과 여파기의 소형화와 향상된 차단 대역 저지 특성을 구현하기 위하여, 기존의 Right-Handed 전송선에 Left-Handed 특성을 가미한 복합 구조를 이용하여 설계하였다. 대역 통과 여파기를 CRLH의 0차 공진기의 공진점을 사용하고 공진 기간의 결합을 인버터 이론으로써 구현하였다. 제안된 기법의 타당성은 예측 특성과 실험 결과로써 확인되며(삽입 손실<2 dB, $S_{11}$<-15 dB, 3체배 차단 특성), 평행 결합 선로형 여파기와 같은 기존 기술의 여파기보다 약 60 %의 소형화가 이뤄짐을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 평행 결합 버섯 구조를 이용하여 대역 통과 필터의 고조파 성분을 제거하였다. Double positive(DPS)전송 선로인 마이크로스트립 라인과double negative(DNG)전송 선로인 버섯 구조 사이에서는 격리된 마이크로스트립 라인과 버섯 구조의 교차되는 분산 곡선 주파수 대역에서 강한 결합이 복소 전파 상수로 인해서 발생한다. 교차되는 분산 곡선 주파수에서 강한 결합으로 인하여 전파가 전파를 하지 못하기 때문에 이와 같은 구조는 대역 저지 필터로 이용할 수 있는 것이다. 제안된 대역 저지 필터는 공진기를 이용한 형태가 아니라 평행 결합 전송 선로를 이용하였기 때문에 넓은 대역폭을 가지고 DPS와 DNG 전송 선로 사이의 강한 결합으로 인해서 소형화에 유리하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 중심 주파수 4 GHz, 3 dB fractional 대역폭은 40%인 평행 결합 대역 저지 필터를 설계하였고, 이를 두 가지 종류의 대역 통과 필터의 고조파 모드를 억제하는데 이용하였다.

The increasing demand for non-sinusoidal currents affects the quality of distribution networks. Harmonic detection is a crucial step in the cancellation of those components by active power filters. In this paper, the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is compared with different implementations based on Fourier transforms, demonstrating their equivalences and the advantages provided by the former. We demonstrate that the phase error in the presence of grid frequency deviations and the transient length are reduced by half in comparison to the discrete Fourier transform. A novel algorithm is developed to provide frequency adaptation to the DCT, taking advantage of its good features. The window width is adjusted in real time according to the actual value of the grid fundamental frequency by means of a phase-locked loop. A technique based on dithering is employed to overcome the limitation caused by the truncation of the window number of samples, so the frequency resolution is enhanced. The theoretical approach is verified by simulated and experimental results.

This pper describes a digital sensorless drive of permanent magnet brushless DC motors. In order to detect in real time the rotor positions of which Emf becomes zero, terminal voltages are sampled during PWM duty cycle. This method generates detection error in indirect sensed position, which is the harmonic component of PWM frequency. In this paper, the drive adopted Butterworth low pass filter for rejection of the sensing error and for accurate estimation of commutation time. Analytical design process of the digital filter is proposed and the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed sensorless drive is superior to that of the sensorless drives without filterint.

본 논문에서는 90$^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기에 저역통과 여파기 특성을 결합하여 전력분배와 하모닉 저지특성효과를 보여주고 있다. 일반적인 90$^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기는 위상차를 갖고 전력을 분배, 합성하는 데에만 쓰이고 있기 때문에 비선형 소자와 결합함으로써 생기는 하모닉 성분을 억제하려면 여파기를 따로 설계해야 하는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 90$^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기에 저역통과 여파기 특성을 결합함으로써 위상차와 전력분배는 물론 여파기 특성인 감쇠효과를 이용하여 하모닉 성분을 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 구조를 제시하였다.
