This paper presents a new control algorithm for series active power filters that are applied to 3-phase 3-wire and 3-phase 4-wire systems with capacitive loads. It is difficult to reduce harmonic currents in neutral lines of the 3-phase 4-wire systems using conventional series active power filter control methods. 3-phase 4-wire series active power filter systems using the proposed method in this study lower neutral line harmonics. Simulation was carried out to verify the algorithm.

The sliding mode control is an effective method to establish robustness against parameter variations and disturbance. But, in sliding mode strategy, the control function is discontinuous on the hyperplane. Consequently, the control input chatters at high frequency. When we apply such a control to the induction motor drive system, that causes a torque ripple and current harmonics, which are harmful to the system. In this paper, we introduce a low pass filter between sliding mode control output and driver input to overcome that problem. The band-width of this filter is varied according to the error funtion to improve transient responses.

This paper describes the four switch three-phase Z-source active power filter. This novel configuration has many advantages like reduction of cost, switching loss and smaller drive circuit. The paper presents an application of direct current control(DCC) method in a three-phase parallel Z-source active power filter to reduce the harmonics generated by the nonlinear load. The compensation principles and dynamics of the system are discussed in detail. The results show that the proposed control strategy is feasible and efficient.

이전까지 많은 연구자들은 적응 신호처리(Adaptive Signal Process)를 이용한 잡음 제거 방법을 연구해 왔다. 그러나, 최근 발전하고 있는 멀티콥터는 프로펠러 모터의 RPM(Revolution Per Minute)이 실시간으로 변하기 때문에 적응 신호처리를 이용하여도 깔끔한 결과를 얻어 내기가 어렵다는 한계가 존재한다. 또한, 특정 주파수를 기준으로 형성되는 고조파(Harmonics)는 적응 알고리즘인 (N)LMS 를 이용한 예측에서 오차를 발생시키는 문제를 발생시킨다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 멀티콥터를 이용한 음향 취득에 대한 소음 저감 방법으로 회전 속도계(Tachometer), 콤 필터(Comb Filter), NLMS 알고리즘(Normalized Least Mean Square Algorithm)을 이용한 방법을 제안한다.

The ac side current of a line commutated converter(LCC) high voltage direct current (HVDC) is characterized by highly non-sinusoidal waveform. If the harmonic current is allowed to flow in the connected ac network, it may cause unacceptable levels of distortion. Therefore, ac side filters are required as part of the total HVDC converter station, in order to reduce the harmonic distortion of the ac side current and voltage to acceptably low levels. The ac filters are also employed to compensate the requested reactive power because LCC HVDC also consume substantial reactive power. Among different types of filters, triple-tuned filters have been widely utilized for HVDC system. This paper presents two design methods of triple-tuned filter; equivalent method and parametric method. Using a parametric method, in particular this paper proposes a design algorithm for a triple tuned filter. Finally, the performance of the design algorithm is evaluated for a 250kV HVDC system in Jeju island. The results cleary demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed design method in harmonics reduction.

Cogging torque has a negative impact on the operation of permanent magnet machines by increasing torque ripple, speed ripple, acoustic noise and vibration. In this paper Magnet Shifting Method has been used as a tool to reduce the cogging torque in inset Line Start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (LSPMSM). It has been shown that Magnet Shifting Method can effectively eliminate several lower-order harmonics of cogging torque. In order to implement the method, first the expression of cogging torque is studied based on the Fourier analysis. An analytical expression is then introduced based on Permanent Magnet Shifting to reduce cogging torque of LSPMS motors. The method is applied to some existing machine designs and their performances are obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The effect of magnet shifting on pole mmf (magneto motive force) distribution in air gap is discussed. The side effects of magnet shifting on back-EMF, core losses and torque profile distortion are taken into account in this investigation. Finally the experimental results on two prototypes 24 slot 4 pole inset LSPMS motors have been used to validate the theoretical analysis.

Centrifugal fans are widely used in industrial practices but the noise generated by these machines causes one of the most serious problems. In general, the centrifugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at BPF(blade passage frequency) and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the flow discharged from the impeller and the cutoff in the easing. However, only a few researches have been carried out on predicting the noise because of the difficulty in obtaining detailed information about the flow field and casing effects on noise radiation. The objective of this study is to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a centrifugal fan, and to calculate the effects of small vanes that are attached in original impeller - Splitter impeller. We assume that the impeller rotates with a constant angular velocity and the flow field around the impeller is incompressible and inviscid. So, a discrete vortex method (DVM) is used to model the centrifugal fan and to calculate the flow field. The force of each element on the blade is calculated by the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic source. The splitter impeller changes the acoustic characteristics as well as performance. Two-splitter type impeller and splitter impeller which splitter locates in jet region are good for acoustic characteristics.

Diode rectifier which can't be controlled output voltage and phase control converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, three phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) AC/DC boost converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter are to control the phase of current without current sensor as a very simple control algorithm using circuit parameters only and to apply sinusoidal PWM method with fixed switching frequency due to a difficult design of input filter and switching device. We simulate for the proposed algorithm that high power factor is achieved and DC link voltage has fast dynamic response without ripple in rectifying and regenerating operation. As a result of experiment with circuit parameter(inductor, capacitor) decided in simulation, the proposed converter had high power factor and reduction of low order harmonics as against diode rectifier.

In this paper, a novel dead time minimization algorithm is proposed for improving the output waveform of an inverter. The adverse effects of the dead time are mainly described by the voltage drop and the distortion factor of waveforms. The principle of the proposed algorithm is organized with forbidding unnecessary firings fo the inverter switches which are not conducted even though the gate signal is impressed. The proposed methods are explained with the conduction mode of output currents. The H/W and S/W implementation method of the proposed algorithm are also presented. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the simulation and experimental results with conventional methods. It can be concluded from the results that the proposed algorithm has the advantage which is able to reduce the harmonics in the output voltages and which the output voltage can nearly be equal to the reference value. Another advantage of the proposed method is the reduction of total numbers of switching so that the switching losses of inverter drives can be minimized.
