The moving average filter (MAF) is widely utilized to improve the disturbance rejection capability of phase-locked loops (PLLs). This is of vital significance for the grid-integration and stable operation of power electronic converters to electric power systems. However, the open-loop bandwidth is drastically reduced after incorporating a MAF into the PLL structure, which makes the dynamic response sluggish. To overcome this shortcoming, some new techniques have recently been proposed to improve the transient response of MAF-based PLLs. In this paper, a comprehensive performance comparison of advanced MAF-based PLL algorithms is presented. This comparison includes HPLL, MPLC-PLL, QT1-PLL, and DMAF-PLL. Various disturbances, such as grid voltage sag, voltage flicker, harmonics distortion, phase-angle and frequency jumps, DC offsets and noise, are considered to experimentally test the dynamic performances of these PLL algorithms. Finally, an improved positive sequence extraction method for a HPLL under the frequency jumps scenario is presented to compensate for the steady-state error caused by non-frequency adaptive DSC, and a satisfactory performance has been achieved.

For three-phase synchronization applications, the synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (SRF-PLL) is probably the most widely used technique due to its ease of implementation and satisfactory phase tracking performance under ideal grid conditions. However, under unbalanced and distorted grid conditions, its performance tends to worsen. To deal with this problem, a variety of filtering stages have been proposed and used in SRF-PLLs for the rejection of disturbance components at the cost of degrading the dynamic performance. In this paper, to improve dynamic performance without compromising the filtering capability, an effective hybrid filtering stage is proposed and incorporated into the inner loop of a quasi-type-1 PLL (QT1-PLL). The proposed filtering stage is a combination of a moving average filter (MAF) and a modified delay signal cancellation (DSC) operator in cascade. The time delay caused by the proposed filtering stage is smaller than that in the conventional MAF-based and DSC-based PLLs. A small-signal model of the proposed PLL is derived. The stability is analyzed and parameters design guidelines are given. The effectiveness of the proposed PLL is confirmed through experimental results.

The heart rate is the most important vital sign in diagnosing heart status. The simple method to measure the heart rate in the mobile healthcare device is using the PPG signal. In developing the mobile healthcare device using the PPG signal, the most important issue is the inaccuracy of the measured heart rate because the PPG signal is distorted from the user's motions. To improve the problem, this study proposed the new method that is to estimate the heart rate without an additional sensor in real life. The proposed method in this study is using the histogram filter. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the study compares its results with the moving average method in motion environment. According to the experimental results, the performance of the proposed method was more than 40% better than the performances of the MAF.

This paper presents an effective robust predictive control scheme for the active power filter (APF) using a smith-predictor based current regulator, which show superior features when compared to proportional-integral (PI) controllers in terms of an enhanced closed-loop bandwidth and an improved current tracking accuracy. A moving average filter (MAF) is implemented using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) for signal pre-processing to eliminate the switching ripple contamination. An adaptive linear neural network (ADALINE) is used for individual harmonic estimation to achieve selective compensation purpose. The effectiveness and validity of the devised control algorithm are confirmed by extensive simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, the application of robust fuel gauge algorithm in the external environment to general fuel gauge system is proposed. The proposed fuel gauge system is composed of two modules which are Moving Average Filter (MAF) and Inclination Filter (IF). They are used to show correctly the amount of fuel in the external environment which are curve road, slope or acceleration/deceleration driving. In parallel, verification and validation processes using Software In the Loop Simulation (SILS) in personal computer and Hardware In the Loop Simulation (HILS) similar to actual vehicle environments are established. Through this research, it turned out to be possible to operation of gauge become correct of external environment.

본 논문에서는 고속 무선 통신을 위한 IEEE 802.15.TG3a PHY proposal 중에서 MBOK DS-UWB (M-ary bi-orthogonal keying direct sequence UWB) 시스템의 수신기를 위한 개선된 방식의 FD MMSE (frequency domain minimum mean square error) equalizer 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘에서는 모든 전송 패킷에 CP (cyclic prefix)를 삽입해야 하므로 일반적인 SC (single carrier) 시스템에 적용할 경우 구조적인 제한이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 CP를 사용하지 않는 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 보다 정확한 채널 추정 및 보상을 위하여 MAF (moving average filter) 및 moving FFT 기법을 사용하여 수신 성능의 안정성을 증대시킴으로써 실내 무선 채널 환경에 보다 적합하도록 설계하였다. IEEE 802.15.TG3a 무선 채널 모델 환경에서의 성능 평가를 수행하고 일반적인 FDE 및 TD (time domain) MMSE-RAKE 수신기와의 성능 비교를 통해, 제안한 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하였다.

This paper presents an improved current control strategy for a three-phase grid-connected inverter under distorted grid conditions. Distorted grid condition is undesirable due to negative effects such as power losses and heating problem in electrical equipments. To enhance the power quality of distributed generation systems under such a condition, a modulated finite control set - model predictive control (MFCS-MPC) scheme will be proposed, in which the optimal switching signals of inverter are chosen by online basis using the principle of current error minimization. In addition, the moving average filter (MAF) is used to improve the phase-lock loop in order to obtain the harmonic-free reference currents on the stationary frame. The usefulness of the proposed MFCS-MPC method is proved by the comparative simulation results under different operating conditions.
