This paper proposes a harmonics reduction technique for the input currents of three phase PWM converters. The quality of the phase angle information on the utility voltage connected to the PWM converters affects their control performance. Under a distorted utility voltage, the extracted phase angle based on the synchronous reference frame PLL method is distorted. This causes large harmonics in the input currents of a PWM converter. In this paper, a harmonics reduction method that makes the input currents in the PWM converter sinusoidal even under distorted utility conditions is proposed. By the proposed method, without additional hardware, the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the input currents can be readily limited to below 5% which is the harmonic current requirements of IEEE std. 519. Its validity is verified by simulations and experimental results.

The mechanical vibration of a PM synchronous motor at low speeds due to the back emf harmonics may be serious problems in some application such as MDPS(Motor driven power steering), electric vehicles. In this paper, torque ripple reduction for an interior PM synchronous motor including back emf harmonics is proposed. The dq flux linkage harmonics of the permanent magnet are estimated on real time by using the dq currents of the real system and the model of the MRAS observer. Based on the estimated flux linkage harmonics, the dq harmonic currents for reducing the torque ripples are compensated on the dq reference currents. The estimation of the flux linkage harmonics by the MRAS observer and the torque ripple reduction of the proposed algorithm was verified by the simulation and experiment.

It is known that the reactive component of AC power in the Power system gives no energy to outside and causes enlargement of power apparatus, voltage fluctuation and unstability of power system. The power conversion system and control system which are composed of power semiconductor devices such as Thyrisor, transistor, GTO and so on have been appeared as new sources of Harmonics. So the reduction of harmonics in power semiconductor system is one of impending problems on the point of energy conservation and improvement of power factor. This paper treates the fundamental review of the harmonics reduction by Current type PWM-Inverter. This Inverter-detects not only the fundamental wave but also that of all harmonics created in the power semiconductor system and is scheduled to control by sampled value.

According to the development of power switching device technology, the power conversion system is used from the small electric power units to the large industrial instruments. These instruments are operated as harmonic sources in the grid and the harmonics cause zero sequence harmonics in the neutral line. To reduce zero sequence harmonics, the zigzag transformer is used conventionally. But the zigzag transformer can reduce only 60~70% of harmonics. In this paper, hybrid power filter for zero sequence harmonics reduction and the harmonic detection method are proposed.

This paper deals with torque harmonic characteristics and its reduction design of induction motors for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion. For calculating the stator harmonic flux of squirrel-cage induction motor, the numerical methods have been employed on the structural configuration design of stator and rotor teeth. In particular, torque ripples including spatial harmonics are obtained by Finite Element Method (FEM), and their individual harmonic components are identified with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In this paper, design modification on the teeth surface gives rise to the significant reduction of torque ripples including spatial torque harmonics, which have been obtained with FEM.

Hybrid transformer means the distribution transformer, one of multi-function transformer equipped with the enhancement function of harmonics and unbalance. In other words, since existing transformer are equipped simply with transformation function only, a separated electric facility should be additionally installed in order to reduce the mutual harmonics and unbalance. Meanwhile, since hybrid transformer can perform the reduction of harmonics and unbalance as well as transformation function simultaneously through zigzag winding, it doesn't need any additional electric facility. This study addressed the issue of developing and testing the performance of a generator that would reduce the harmonics supplied to the grid when grid-connected with the output of a photovoltaic inverter for photovoltaic generation system.

This paper describes several PWM method for harmonics reduction in GTO inverter. The analysis and simulations of PWM techniques are carried out. The simulation results demonstrate that the programmed PWM methods(SHE PWM) are superior to the sine-modulated PWM method. The selected harmonic elimination (SHE) PWM scheme which eliminates specific lower order harmonics can generate high quality output waveform in PWM inverter.

The back emf harmonics of a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor is a major source of torque ripple. For torque control applications including column fitted MDPS (motor driven power steering) systems, it is essential to reduce the mechanical vibrations due to torque ripples at low speeds. In this paper, a torque ripple reduction algorithm for interior PM synchronous motors is proposed. The harmonic currents that cancel the $6^{th}$ order torque harmonic are added to the nominal dq currents for MTPA (maximum torque per ampere) operation. The compensated harmonic currents are derived from flux linkage harmonics based on a FFT analysis of the back emf harmonics. Simulation and experimental results verify that the $6^{th}$ order torque harmonic and THD of the torque ripple are reduced by compensating the dq harmonic currents.

The winding design of a capacitor-run single-phase induction motor for changing two poles(2-/4-pole) is proposed for reducing the harmonics of Magneto Motive Force(MMF) in the airgap at 2-role. To improve motor performance, it is important to analyze exactly the harmonics and design the winding pattern for its harmonics reduction. The winding design method to reduce the harmonics is suggested in this paper and its characteristics are analyzed by using equivalent circuit considering harmonic components. The various performances of the pole change motor with the proposed winding pattern are compared with the experimental results.
