This paper investigates the effects of applying different input current waveshapes on the performance of a continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) power-factor-correction (PFC) boost pre-regulator. It is found that the output voltage ripple of the pre-regulator can be reduced if the input current is modified to include controlled amount of higher order harmonics. This finding allows us to balance the performance of output regulation and the harmonic current emission when coming to the design of the pre-regulator. An experimental PFC boost pre-regulator prototype is constructed to verify the analysis and show the benefit of the pre-regulator operating with input current containing higher order harmonics.

This paper proposes PFC boost converter with soft switching for harmonics decrement and analyzes characteristics of PFC boost converter. In this technique power factor correction(PFC) is usually obtained by operating the PFC stage in the discontinuous current mode(DCM) Switching devices are operated for reducing current stress and electronical noise. As a result eliminate 3rd harmonic component and high power factor(PF) of the input line are verified by characteristics analysis and experimental results.

This paper presents a new active power filter with low DC voltage for compensating reactive power and harmonics of three-phase high power/voltage harmonic producing load. It has a structure of converter connected in series with power factor correction capacitor.

This paper presents a new technique of reference current generator based on Kalman filter (KF) estimator for three-phase shunt active power filter (APF). The stationary reference frame (d-q algorithm) is used to transform the load currents into DC component. The harmonics of load currents are extracted and the three-phase reference currents are generated using KF estimator. The work is simulated using Matlab/Simulink platform. To validate the simulation results, an experimental test-rig have been perform using real-time control dSPACE DS1104. In addition, hysteresis current control was used to generate the switching signal for the correction of the harmonics in the system. The non-linear load were constructed with three-phase rectifier which connected in series with inductor and parallel with resistor and capacitor. The results shows that the new technique of shunt APF embedded with KF is proven to eliminate the harmonics created by the non-linear load with some improvement on the total harmonics distortion (THD).

This paper proposes a simplified and efficient control scheme for Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) based on three-level (NPC) inverter capable to mitigate source current harmonics and compensate all voltage disturbances perturbations such us, voltage sags, swells, unbalances and harmonics. The UPQC is designed by the integration of series and shunt active filters (AFs) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The dc voltage is maintained constant using proportional integral voltage controller. The shunt and series AF are designed using a three-phase three-level (NPC) inverter. The synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory is used to get the reference signals for shunt and the power reactive theory (PQ) for a series APFs. The reference signals for the shunt and series APF are derived from the control algorithm and sensed signals are injected in tow controllers to generate switching signals for series and shunt APFs. The performance of proposed UPQC system is evaluated in terms of power factor correction and mitigation of voltage, current harmonics and all voltage disturbances compensation in three-phase, three-wire power system using MATLAB-Simulink software and SimPowerSystem Toolbox. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed UPQC system can improve the power quality at the common connection point of the non-linear load.

For small capacity rectifier circuits such as these for consumer electronics and appliances, capacitor input type rectifier circuits are generally used. Consequently, various harmonics generated within the power system become a serious problem. Various studies of this effect have been presented previously. The absence of switching devices makes systems more tolerant to over-load, and brings low radio noise benefits. We propose a power factor correction scheme using a LC resonant in commercial frequency without switching devices. In this method, It makes a sinusoidal wave by widening conduction period using the current resonance in commercial frequency, Hence, the harmonic characteristics can be significantly improved, where the lower order harmonics, such as the fifth and seventh orders are much reduced. The result are confirmed by the theoretical and expermental implementations

GNSS는 다양한 오차요소에 의해 좌표 정확도가 저하되는데, 그중 고정밀 측위에서 간과하기 쉬운 것이 안테나의 위상중심변동이다. 이를 보정하기 위해 IGS에서는 위상중심변동 보정정보를 기록한 ANTEX 파일을 제공하고 있다. 하지만 수신기 안테나의 경우 방위각과 고도각마다 $5^{\circ}$ 간격으로, 위성 안테나의 경우 천저각에 대해 $1^{\circ}$ 간격으로 PCV 보정정보가 제공되기 때문에 사용자 입장에서는 충분하지 않다. 따라서 어떠한 각도에서도 PCV 보정정보를 정확하게 보간하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 이 연구에서는 방위각과 고도각을 모두 변수로 사용할 수 있는 구면조화함수를 수신기 안테나 PCV 보정정보를 보간하는데 사용해 최적차수를 구하였다. 그 결과 정확도를 우선적으로 고려한다면 구면조화함수 8차가 최적차수가 되며, 구동시간을 우선적으로 고려한다면 허용되는 오차 내에서 구면조화함수 1차와 5차를 제외한 가장 낮은 차수가 최적차수가 된다.

The purpose of this paper is a study on the control of Power Factor Correction circuit by advanced average current control. The international standard organizations have made an effort to resolve these problems caused by the harmonics and announced the international standards for limiting the harmonic currents of the electrical devices and products. For improving power factor and reducing harmonics, many studies are progressed rapidly. In this study, we explain a method of an advanced average current control. And then, the performances of the PFC circuit applying a advanced average current control method are simulated and verified by Matlab/Simulink.

SRM은 간단하면서 견고한 전동기 구조. 넓은 속도범위에 걸쳐 고효율, 탁월한 제어성능 등을 가지고 있다. 그러나 SRM의 전원부에는 일반적으로 다이오드 정류기를 사용하고 정류기의 출력단에 평활용 커패시터를 사용한다. 따라서 입력전류 파형은 폭이 좁은 펄스형태의 전류를 발생하게 되며 많은 고조파의 성분을 포함하여 제어시스템의 오동작을 발생하게 되는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 energy-efficient C-dump 컨버터의 입력 전원부에 승압형 컨버터를 연결하여 고조파 성분을 저감하여 역률을 개선하는 구동시스템에 관하여 연구하였다. SRM제어를 위해 저 가격의 원칩 80C196KC와 각도제어를 위해 EPROM을 이용하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 시스템의 역률 개선을 확인하였다.

The demands of minimizing the reactive power and reducing. the current harmonics are increasing nowadays. The inverter airconditioner needs high power and it operates with wide load range. Conventionally, ah huge LC passive filter is used in airconditioner to improve the P.F and to reduce current harmonics which doesn't gives good results. In this paper, a design of active power factor correction(PFC) circuit for inverter air conditioner is described. To improve the P.F and to reduce the THD, an average current controlled active PFC is designed and tested. Experimental results show that the developed system achieves almost unity P.F and low THD for all load range.
