We analysised the effect of harmonics on electric machines of substation power system barred on quantitatively measured harmonics and proposed the methods for prevention of harmonics through checking on transformer, rectifier and cable's capacities against harmonics with reference to KEPCO's electricity service standard. In order to analysis harmoninics of silicon rectifier that is power source in DC substation, computer simulations for a substation with TR of high voltage distribution switchboard are performed. Simulation results show that the total harmonic distortion factor becomes smaller for TR primary and receiving points in order rather than silicon rectifier which is harmonic generation source so that the harmonics generated frets each rectifier are outflowed to power supply and high voltage distribution switchboard The result of higher distortion factors of voltage and current for rectifier with 100% load than those with 50 % and 30% indicates that the waveform of voltage and current for the real substation power system at the office-going and the closing hours with heavy loads might be more distorted. As proposed methods for harmonic reduction, the conventional 6 pulse-type for substation is required to be replaced by 12 pulse-type for reduction of 5th and 7th harmonics. The active filter rather than the passive filter is more effective due to severe variance of rectifier loads, but the high cost is price to be paid. In view of installation area and costs, the use of 12 pulse-type transformer is desirable and then the parallel transformer and the rectifier within the substation must be replaced at the same time. Other substations with parallel feeder can use 6 pulse-type transformer.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of stimulation intensity and inter-electrode distance on the parameters of the measured sensory nerve signal. 30 healthy subjects participated in this study. Sensory nerve signals were elicited by four different pulse amplitudes, i.e., 3, 6, 9, 12 mA, with the pulse width fixed at $500{\mu}s$. The sensory nerve signals elicited by the four different pulse amplitudes were measured by four different inter-electrode distances (20, 30, 40, and 50 mm). We extracted four parameters (pulse amplitude, pulse width, pulse area, and latency time from stimulation) from the sensory nerve signals. The measured pulse amplitude and pulse width were increased when the measuring inter-electrode distance was increased while the stimulating pulse amplitude was fixed. The measured pulse amplitude was saturated with the stimulating pulse amplitudes of over 6 mA while measuring inter-electrode distance. Under the same condition, measured pulse width was increased, and sensory nerve signal was initiated early. Sensory nerve signals, specially those of pulse amplitude, were distorted by a differential amplification method that commonly measures the human body signal. The experimental results indicate that the differential amplification method is required to be replaced when measuring nerve signals. Our observations suggested that the hyperpolarization of the action potential of the sensory nerve signal for preventing distortion could be used to clarify the correlation between the parameters of the sensory nerve signals and quantification of sensations.

Cylindrical type air core pulse transformers capable of passing high voltage and energy pulse waveforms with high efficiency and low distortion require a much more delicate design balance of physical dimensions and electrical parameters than iron or ferrite core units. The structure of an air core high voltage pulse transformer is relatively simple, but considerable attention is needed to prevent breakdown between transformer windings. Since the thickness of the windings in spiral type is on the order of sub-millimeter, field enhancement at the edge of the windings is very high. It is, therefore, important to find proper electrical insulation Parameter to make the system compact. Several shapes of the winding are considered for air core pulse transformer development. In this paper, we are described design procedure, parameters measure and experiment results of air core type HV pulse transformer.

In this paper a switching control circuit for shaping the line current and reducing the total harmonics distortion in the boost converter is presented. To solve the problems of performance degradation due to pulse waveform in the input current, the boost converter in which the harmonic distortion in the input current is reduced using a 3th harmonic-injected PWM is proposed. Finally, Simulation and experimental results of boost converter with 5[kHz] switching frequency are presented and correction of power factor and reduction of total harmonic distortion was established.

this thesis proposes a new echo canceller that can be used in a fulll-duplex digital subscriber loopmodem. The modem suffers from nonlinear distortion such as transmitted pulse asymmetry, saturation in transformers, and nonlinearity of data converters. The proposed nonlinear echo canceller can compensate the nolinear distortion by using a nonlinear digital filter based on canonical pieceewise-linear (CPWL) function. Numerical results based on computer simulation are given in this paper. It is shown that the convergence characteristics depend on the initial values of weights of linear filters with absoluters and that the nonlinearity in digital-to-analog(D/A) converter can be compensated by a relatively small number linear filters with absoluters. It is also shown that the proposed algorithm has a faster convergence rate in comparison with Voterra algorithm.

본 논문에서는 합성 음성파형의 일그러짐을 제어하기 위하여 V/UV/S(Voiced / Unvoiced / Silence)의 스위칭을 사용하고, 피치구간마다 멀티펄스를 보정하며, 무성자음(Unvoiced)의 근사합성에 특정주파수를 이용하는 ACFBD-MPC(Amplitude Compensation Frequency Band Division - Multi Pulse Coding)와 LMS-MPC(Least Mean Square - Multi Pulse Coding)를 통합한 8kbps ACLMS-MPC(Amplitude Compensation and Least Mean Square - Multi Pulse Coding) 부호화 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 여러 방식을 통합하는데 있어서, 음성파형의 일그러짐을 줄이면서 유성음과 무성음의 비트율을 8kbps로 조정하는 것이 중요하다. 유성음과 무성음의 비트율을 8kbps로 조정함에 있어서, 개별피치를 이용하여 대표구간의 멀티펄스를 피치구간마다 복원함으로서 음성파형을 효율적으로 합성할 수 있다. 8kbps의 부호화 조건에서 ACLMS-MPC 방식을 구현하고 SNR를 평가한 결과, ACLMS-MPC의 SNR는 남자음성에서 15.0dB, 여자음성에서 14.3dB 임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 ACLMS-MPC가 기존의 MPC, ACFBD-MPC, LMS-MPC에 비하여 남자음성에서 0.3dB~1.8dB, 여자음성에서 0.3dB~1.6dB 정도 개선된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 방법들은 셀룰러폰이나 인터넷폰과 같이 낮은 비트율의 음원을 사용하여 음성신호를 부호화하는 방식에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 향후 멀티펄스 음원의 진폭과 위치를 동시에 보정하는 6.9kbps 음성부호화 방식의 음질평가를 수행하고자 한다.

PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 컨버터의 제어에 있어서, 입력전압의 왜곡을 고려하지 않을 경우, 시스템의 성능 저하를 초래하게 된다. 본 논문은 왜곡된 3상 입력전압이 PWM 컨버터에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 성능을 개선하기 위한 제어기를 설계한다. 제안된 방식은 단위 역률을 만족시키면서, THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) 및 DC-link 전압의 저차 ripple을 감소시킨다.

In this paper, the Optimal Harmonic Stepped Waveform (OHSW) method is proposed in order to eliminate the selective harmonic orders available at the output of cascaded multilevel inverter (CMLI) fed by solar photovoltaic (SPV). This technique is used to solve the harmonic elimination equations based on stepped waveform analysis in order to obtain the optimal switching angles which in turn reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The OHSW method considers the output voltage waveform as four equal symmetries in each half cycle. In the proposed method, a solar fed fifteen level cascaded multilevel is considered where the magnitude of six numbers of harmonic orders is reduced. A programmable pulse generator is developed to carry the switching angles directly to the semiconductor switches obtained as a result of OHSW analysis. Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink in which a separate model is developed for solar photovoltaic which serves as the input for cascaded multilevel inverter. A 3kWp solar plant with multilevel inverter system is implemented in hardware to show the effectiveness of the proposed system. Based on the observation the OHSW method provides the reduced THD thereby improving power quality in renewable energy applications.

Multilevel inverters have been widely used for high-voltage and high-power applications. Their performance is greatly superior to that of conventional two-level inverters due to their reduced total harmonic distortion (THD), lower switch ratings, lower electromagnetic interference, and higher dc link voltages. However, they have some disadvantages such as an increased number of components, a complex pulse width modulation control method, and a voltage-balancing problem. In this paper, a novel nine-level reduced switch cascaded multilevel inverter based on a multilevel DC link (MLDCL) inverter topology with reduced switching components is proposed to improve the multilevel inverter performance by compensating the above mentioned disadvantages. This topology requires fewer components when compared to diode clamped, flying capacitor and cascaded inverters and it requires fewer carrier signals and gate drives. Therefore, the overall cost and circuit complexity are greatly reduced. This paper presents modulation methods by a novel reference and multicarrier based PWM schemes for reduced switch cascaded multilevel inverters (RSCMLI). It also compares the performance of the proposed scheme with that of conventional cascaded multilevel inverters (CCMLI). Simulation results from MATLAB/SIMULINK are presented to verify the performance of the nine-level RSCMLI. Finally, a prototype of the nine-level RSCMLI topology is built and tested to show the performance of the inverter through experimental results.
