In this paper, a single Phase voltage source voltage-controlled active power filter(APF) for power quality improvement was proposed. The proposed APF has the performance of harmonic suppression and unity power factor correction. The performance of harmonic suppression can be obtained by controlling the waveshape of the APF output voltage to be sine wave. And, unity power factor is controlled by the reactive power control loop of the APF output. Simulation and experimental results using diode rectifier showed that the voltage-controlled APF, unlike the current-controlled APF, can reduce the voltage harmonics as well as current harmonics. Also the results showed that the input dover factor and power quality were greatly improved.

A single phase voltage-controlled active power filter(APF) is introduced to improve power quality and to reduce harmonic generated from nolinear loads. Real and reactive power control scheme was addressed using a new power circuit model. By analyzing the reactive power, a unit power factor control scheme was proposed. Simulation and experiment results using a nonlinear diode rectifier showed that the voltage-controlled APF, unlike the current-controlled APF, can reduce the voltage harmonics as well as current harmonics. Also the results showed that the input power factor was greatly improved.

This paper proposes a novel control strategy for a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) including a series and a shunt active power filter (APF) to compensate the harmonics in both the distorted supply voltage and the nonlinear load current. In the series APF control scheme, a proportional-integral (PI) controller and a resonant controller tuned at six multiples of the fundamental frequency of the network ($6{\omega}_s$) are performed to compensate the harmonics in the distorted source. Meanwhile, a PI controller and three resonant controllers tuned at $6n{\omega}_s$(n=1, 2, 3) are designed in the shunt APF control scheme to mitigate the harmonic currents produced by nonlinear loads. The performance of the proposed UPQC is significantly improved when compared to that of the conventional control strategy thanks to the effective design of the resonant controllers. The feasibility of the proposed UPQC control scheme is validated through simulation and experimental results.

A parallel control strategy in capacity proportion frequency allocation mode for shunt active power filters (APFs) is proposed to overcome some of the difficulties in high power applications. To improve the compensation accuracy and overall system stability, an improved selective harmonic current control based on multiple synchronous rotating reference coordinates is presented in a single APF unit, which approximately implements zero steady-state error compensation. The combined decoupling strategy is proposed and theoretically analyzed to simplify selective harmonic current control. Improved selective harmonic current control forms the basis for multi-APF parallel operation. Therefore, a parallel control strategy is proposed to realize a proper optimization so that the APFs with a larger capacity compensate more harmonic current and the ones with a smaller capacity compensate less harmonic current, which is very practical for accurate harmonic current compensation and stable grid operation in high power applications. This is verified by experimental results. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced from 29% to 2.7% for a typical uncontrolled rectifier load with a resistor and an inductor in a laboratory platform.

In this paper, we address some issues in existing seismic hazard closed-form equations and present a novel seismic hazard equation form to overcome these issues. The presented equation form is based on higher-order polynomials, which can well describe the seismic hazard information with relatively high non-linearity. The accuracy of the proposed form is illustrated not only in the seismic hazard data itself but also in estimating the annual probability of failure (APF) of the structural systems. For this purpose, the information on seismic hazard is used in representative areas of the United States (West : Los Angeles, Central : Memphis and Kansas, East : Charleston). Examples regarding the APF estimation are the analyses of existing platform structure and nuclear power plant problems. As a result of the numerical example analyses, it is confirmed that the higher-order-polynomial-based hazard form presented in this paper could predict the APF values of the two example structure systems as well as the given seismic hazard data relatively accurately compared with the existing closed-form hazard equations. Therefore, in the future, it is expected that we can derive a new improved APF function by combining the proposed hazard formula with the existing fragility equation.

본 실험에서는 군소로부터 다당류를 추출 정제한 다당 분획물을 혈액 림프구와 대식 세포주를 사용하여 면역 조절효과를 실험해 보았다. 군소부터 추출 분획한 다당류는 48시간 동안 처리 시 Jurkat cell의 증식률을 40% 이상 증가시켰으며, 혈액암 세포종인 Jiyoye cell에 대하여는 그 성장률이 농도에 따라 감소하였다. 그렇지만 Jurkat cell에 24시간과 48시간 동안 군소 다당 분획물을 처리하였을 때 IL-2와 IFN-$\gamma$ 생성량의 유의적인 증가는 확인할 수 없었다. 그러나 RAW264.7 cell line에 대하여는 IL-12의 경우는 47% 이상 증가하여, 군소 다당 분획물의 면역 조절 효과의 가능성을 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 계통 전압이 불평형인 경우에 정확한 위상각을 검출할 수 있는 정상분 전압 관측기를 이용한 PLL(Phase Locked Loop) 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 PLL 방법은 기존의 전역 통과 필터(APF, All Pass Filter)를 이용하여 불평형 전원전압으로부터 정상분 전압을 구하는 것과는 달리 전차원 상태관측기를 사용함으로써 불평형사고 발생 시 추정위상각의 과도상태 응답특성을 개선하였다. 기존의 정상분 전압 추출 PLL 방법과 본 논문에서 제안된 PLL 방법의 성능을 비교하기 위해, 전원단 전압에 불평형 사고 발생시 위상각을 검출하는 실험을 하였고, 이를 통해 기존의 전역 통과 필터를 이용한 정상분 전압 추출 PLL 방법보다 제안된 전차원 상태관측기를 이용한 정상분 전압 추출 PLL 방법의 과도상태 응답특성이 개선됨을 입증하였다.

Active power filter (APF) has been proved as a flexible solution for compensating the harmonic distortion caused by nonlinear loads in power distribution power systems. Digital repetitive control can achieve zero steady-state error tracking of any periodic signal while the sampling points within one repetitive cycle must be a known integer. However, the compensation performance of the APF would be degradation when the grid frequency varies. In this paper, an improved repetitive control scheme with frequency adaptive capability is presented to track any periodic signal with variable grid frequency, where the variable delay items caused by time-varying grid frequency are approximated with Pade approximants. Additionally, the stability criterion of proposed repetitive control scheme is given. A three-phase shunt APF experimental platform with proposed repetitive control scheme is built in our laboratory. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed repetitive control scheme.

The performance of an active power filter(APF) depends on the inverter characteristic, the control method, and the accuracy of reference signal generator. The accuracy of reference generator is the most critical item to determine the performance of active power filter. This paper introduces a novel reference signal generator composed of improved adaptive predictive filter. The performance of proposed reference signal generator was first verified through a simulation with MATLAB. Furthermore, the application of feasibility was evaluated through experimenting with a single-phase APF prototype based on the proposed reference generator, which was implemented using the TMS320C31 floating-point signal processor. Both simulations and experimental results confirm that our reference signal generator can be used successfully in practical active power filters.
