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.

This paper propose a variable proportional resonant feedforward algorithm for reducing the speed ripple of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. In general, the torque ripples can be generated by electrical pulsation due to current measurement errors and dead time and mechanical pulsation because of rotor eccentricity and eccentric load. These torque pulsations can cause speed pulsations of the motor and degrade the operating performance of the motor drive system. Therefore, in this paper, the factors of the speed ripple is analyzed and an algorithm to reduce the speed ripple is proposed. The proposed algorithm applied a variable proportional resonant controller in order to reduce the specific operating frequency included in the speed pulsation, and utilized a feedforward compensation controller structure to perform the compensation operation. The proposed algorithm is verified through various experiments.

DSTATCOM(distribution static compensator) is one of the custom power devices, and protects a distribution line from unbalanced and harmonic current caused by non-linear and unbalanced loads. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the calculation of compensated current and the other part is the current control. This paper proposes a proportional-resonant-repetitive current controller. Improved performance of instantaneous power compensation has been shown by simulations and experiments.

Dynamic modelling and controller design technique for constant-frequency series resonant converter with buck type preregulator are mainly described in this paper. An equivalent circuit model is derived and a state equation is developed from this model. To improve the dynamic performance, a negative feedback of inductor current is added to the proportional and integral control of output voltage. Furthermore, an optimization technique with prescribed eigenvalue region is applied to the determination of feedback gains. With the presented design method, much better dynamic performance can be obtained.

Instead of extracting every selected harmonic component, the current reference of selective active power filter (APF) can be also obtained by filtering out the fundamental component from distorted load current for computation efficiency. This type of mixed current reference contains kinds of harmonic components and easily involves noises. In this condition, selective harmonic compensation must be realized by the current controller. With regard that selectivity is the most significant feature of controller, this paper presents specific comparison analysis between two types of resonant controllers: proportional-resonant (PR) controller and vector-resonant (VR) controller. The comparison analysis covers the relations, performances, and stability of both controllers. Analysis results conclude that the poorer selectivity of the PR controller could be relatively improved, but limitations from system stability make the improvement hardly realized. By contrast, the VR controller exhibits excellent selectivity and is more suitable for selective APF with mixed current reference. Experimental results from laboratory prototype validate the reasonability of analysis. And the features of each resonant controller are concluded.

There are many types of grid-connected inverter controllers; Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF)-based controller is the most popular methods. SRF-based controller is capable for reducing both of zero-steady state error and phase delay. However, SRF-based controller has a complex algorithm to apply in real application such as digital processor. Resonant controller is also reduced zero-steady state error, but its transfer function has a high order. In this paper, a simple proportional control is applied for grid connected inverter with LCL filter. LCL filter is a third order system. Applying a simple proportional controller is not increased the order of closed loop transfer function. By this technique, the single phase model is easily obtained. To reduce steady state error, proportional gain is set as high as possible, but it may produce instability. To compromise between a minimum steady state error and stability, the single phase model is evaluate through Root Locus and Bode diagram. PSIM simulation is used to verify the analysis.

In this paper, three current controllers for a grid-connected PCS using an LCL filter are compared and analyzed. Current controllers discussed in this paper are linear controllers such as PI (proportional-integral), PR (proportional-resonant), and DB (deadbeat) controller. Both transient and steady state responses of each controller are compared through both simulation and experiment. Although the DB controller has the fastest transient response and the lowest THD in the steady state, the DB controller has two cycles delay of current response in the steady state and has the stability problem which can be occurred due to variation of the system parameters. On the one hand the responses of PR controller are not much different from that of DB controller but the other hand that are not only strong to noise of grid current but also have smaller THD than PI controller. Considering the response time and stability issue of three controllers, the PR controller has the best performance among three controllers and thus can be strongly recommended as a current controller for a grid-connected PCS.

This paper describes a new dc-ac inverter system, which for achieving sinusoidal ac waveform make use of parallel loaded frequency resonant inverter consisting of full bridge. Each one of the pair of switches in the inverter is driven to synchronous output frequency and the other is driven to PWM signal with resonant frequency proportional to magnitude of sine wave. Since current through switches is always zero at its turn-on in proposed inverter, low stress and low switching loss is achieved. The theoretical analysis is proved through the experimental test.

The main cause of degradation in an unbalanced stand-alone doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) system is negative sequence components that exist in the generated stator voltages. To eliminate these components, a hybrid current controller composed of a proportional-integral controller and a resonant regulator is developed in this paper. The proposed controller is applied to the rotor-side converter of a DFIG system for the purpose of compensating the negative stator voltage sequences. The proposed current controller is implemented in a single positive rotating reference frame and therefore the controller can directly regulate both the positive and negative sequence components without the need for sequential decomposition of the measured rotor currents. In terms of compensation capability and accuracy, simulations and experimental results demonstrated the excellent performance of the proposed control method when compared to conventional vector control schemes.

This paper proposes the dead time effect compensation algorithm using proportional resonant controller in pulse width modulation inverter of motor drive. To avoid a short circuit in the dc link, the dead time of the switch device is surely required. However, the dead time effect causes the phase current distortions, torque pulsations, and degradations of control performance. To solve these problems, the output current including ripple components on the synchronous reference frame and stationary reference frame are analyzed in detail. As a results, the distorted synchronous d-and q-axis currents contain the 6th, 12th, and the higher harmonic components due to the influence of dead time effect. In this paper, a new dead time effect compensation algorithm using proportional resonant controller is also proposed to reduce the output current harmonics due to the dead time and nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices. The proposed compensation algorithm does not require any additional hardware and the offline experimental measurements. The experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dead time effect compensation algorithm.
