A multi-pulse GTO based voltage source converter (VSC) topology together with a fundamental frequency switching mode of gate control is a mature technology being widely used in static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs). The present practice in utility/industry is to employ a high number of pulses in the STATCOM, preferably a 48-pulse along with matching components of magnetics for dynamic reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, etc. in electrical networks. With an increase in the pulse order, need of power electronic devices and inter-facing magnetic apparatus increases multi-fold to achieve a desired operating performance. In this paper, a competitive topology with a fewer number of devices and reduced magnetics is evolved to develop an 18-pulse, 2-level $\pm$ 100MVAR STATCOM in which a GTO-VSC device is operated at fundamental frequency switching gate control. The inter-facing magnetics topology is conceptualized in two stages and with this harmonics distortion in the network is minimized to permissible IEEE-519 standard limits. This compensator is modeled, designed and simulated by a SimPowerSystems tool box in MATLAB platform and is tested for voltage regulation and power factor correction in power systems. The operating characteristics corresponding to steady state and dynamic operating conditions show an acceptable performance.

다이오드를 이용한 정류기는 산업현장에서 널리 응용되고 있다. 그러나 입력전류에 많은 저차고조파가 포함되어 공급전압을 왜곡시켜 전력의 품질을 저하시키므로 이를 완화시킬 수 있는 적절한 설비가 필요하다. 또한 고조파 전류는 전력계통의 전압 왜곡, 가열 및 소음 등을 유발하여 효율을 떨어뜨린다. 고조파를 감소시키고 역률을 상승시키기 위하여 입력전류가 연속적이 되도록 하는 부스트 컨버터가 등장하였다. 본 논문에서는 입력전류에 포함된 고조파 전류를 감소시키고, 역률을 증가시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 전체 정류기 효율을 상승시키는 부스트 컨버터를 제안하였다. 이는 기존의 부스트 컨버터에 비해 전류가 통과하는 반도체의 개수가 감소하여 효율의 상승을 기대할 수 있다. 또한, 소프트웨어 PSIM을 활용하여 제안된 변환기의 유효성을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new AC-DC converter control method to comply with harmonics regulation(IEC 61000-3) effective for the inverter system of an air conditioner whose power consumption is less than 2,500W. There are many different ways of AC-DC converter control, but this paper focuses on the converter control method that is adopting an input reactor with low cost silicon steel core to strengthen cost competitiveness of the manufacturer. The proposed control method controls input current every half cycle of the line frequency to get unit power factor and at the same time to reduce switching loss of devices and acoustic noise from reactor. This kind of converter is known as a Partial Switching Converter(PSC). In this study, theoretical analysis of the PSC has been performed using Matlab/Simulink while a 16-bit micro-processor based converter has been used to perform the experimental analysis. In the theoretical analysis, electrical circuit models and equations of the PSC are derived and simulated. In the experiments, micro-processor controls input current to keep the power factor above 0.95 by reducing the phase difference between input voltage and current and at the same time to maintain a reference DC-link voltage against voltage drop which depends on DC-link load. Therefore it becomes possible to comply with harmonic regulations while the power factor is maximized by optimizing the time of current flow through the input reactor for every half cycle of line frequency.

Among the variable-speed AC motor drive systems, the static slip power recovery system has been widely adopted in large power drives because a high efficiency drive can be obtained by recovering the slip power to the AC line. Although many improvements have been made in this system, several problems also remain such as the need of transformer in inverter AC side, which results in limiting speed control range and increasing the losses, production of reactive power by the control of inverter firing angle, harmonics in line currents, and so on. This paper presents the novel high performance slip power recovery system using the boost converter and small size filter in the rotor circuit, which recovers slip power of a wound rotor induction machine to AC supply efficiently with the aid of the boost converter, in which most of the problems in conventional system can be solved. The speed can be controlled by the duty ratio of the converter switch, not by inverter firing angle. As a results, the proposed system can operate in high power factor and the harmonic currents caused by the inverter and rectifier can be considerably suppressed. The validity of the proposed system verified by demonstrating the good agreement in the simulation and experimental results.

Two objectives can be pursued simultaneously with the ${\delta}$ control of a single-phase electric spring (ES). These objectives are the stabilization of the voltage across the critical load (CL) of a power system, and the achievement of a specific functionality similar to the pure compensation of reactive power or the correction of the power factor. However, existing control systems implementing the ${\delta}$ control do not cope with non-ideal operating conditions, such as line voltage distortions, and exhibit a somewhat sluggish regulation of the CL voltage. In an effort to improve both the steady-state and transient performances of an ES power system, this paper proposes implementing the ${\delta}$ control by means of a control system built up on the repetitive control and assisted by state feedback with pole assignment. This paper starts by analyzing the dynamics of an ES power system in terms of its poles and zeros. After that, a reduced second-order model of the dynamics is formulated to avoid a notch filter in the pole assignment. A repetitive control for an ES power system is then designed to meet the two above mentioned objectives. Experimental tests carried out on a laboratory setup demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system in significantly improving the ES power system performance, while reaching the two objectives. In particular, the tests outline the large mitigation of harmonics in the CL voltage under line voltage distortions and its fast stabilization action.

주기적으로 변하는 압력이 loose 또는 tight fitting 상태의 콘택트렌즈와 같은 diaphragm에 작용하여 진동이 발생하는 경우 diaphragm의 가장자리(edge)는 단순지지(simply supported) 또는 고정(rigidly clamped) 상태로 가정할 수 있으며, 이러한 가정하에 diaphragm의 진동을 해석할 수 있는 미분방정식과 그 해를 구하는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하였으며 이 컴퓨터 모델을 사용하여 진폭 및 출력을 예측하고 diaphragm의 반경 및 두께, damping, 작용하는 압력의 진동수 등 제반 변수가 진동에 미치는 영향을 모사하였다. 외부 압력의 진동수가 어떤 범위 이상에서는 diaphragm의 파형은 한 개의 peak를 가지는 원호형에서 2개의 peak를 가지는 파도형으로 전환되며 이 때 진동수가 증가함에 따라 diaphragm의 바깥 부분의 peak가 안쪽 peak보다 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 경향이 시작되는 진동수는 diaphragm의 가장자리가 단순지지된 경우가 clamped 된 경우보다 훨씬 낮다. 단순지지된 diaphragm의 진동은 고정단 진동에 비하여 기본 공진(fundamental resonance)이 월등히 낮은 진동수에서 발생하며, 따라서 저주파 영역에서는 진동수가 낮아질수록 두 진동간의 진폭차가 커지지만 고주파 영역에서는 그 차이가 미미하게 된다. 또한 단순지지 diaphragm의 진동의 특징은 진동수의 증가에 따라 여러개의 공진(harmonics)이 발생하지만 전체적으로 진폭은 급격하게 감소한다. 그러나 저주파 영역에서 단순지지 진동의 진폭이 크다고 해도 출력은 낮기 때문에 diaphragm의 진동에 따른 출력(power)은 특정 진동수에서 하나의 주 peak를 갖는다. 단순지지된 diaphragm이 진동할 때 diaphragm의 출력 공진진동수는 두께가 증가할수록 감소한다. 이 경우 형성되는 harmonics의 출력은 기본공진의 강도에 비해 현저하게 떨어지는 것이 진폭의 경우와 대조적이다.
