An Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) is a converter based controller which compensates and balance the power flow among multi-lines within the same corridor of the multi-line subsystem. The Interline Power Flow Controller consists of a voltage source converter based Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controller for series compensation. The reactive voltage injected by individual Voltage Source Converter (VSC) can be controlled to regulate active power flow in the respective line in which one VSC regulates the DC voltage, the other one controls the reactive power flows in the lines by injecting series active voltage. In this paper, a circuit model for IPFC is developed and simulation of interline power flow controller is done using the proposed circuit model. Simulation is done using MATLAB Simulink and PSPICE. The results obtained by MATLAB are compared with the results obtained by PSPICE and compared with theoretical values.

The active filter system for harmonic current compensation is presented in this paper. The active filter compensates both the harmonic currents and the reactive power by injecting the PWM current to the ac line. This paper describes the principle of harmonic current compensation, the calculation circuits for the harmonic currents to be injected, also the experimental results are shown to verify the theory proposed in this paper.

The purpose of this paper is to compensate the voltage drop of the power system in the AC Electric Railway Systems. Reactive power compensation is often the most effective way to improve system voltage drop. The suitable modeling of the electric railway system should be applied to the EMTP. the dynamic characteristics of 3-Phase Induction Motor in Electric Railway Systems is considered for precise modeling. it is shown through EMTP simulation using EMTP MODELS that voltage drop can be compensated effectively by STATCOM.

D-STATCON using the multilevel voltage source inverters is presented for voltage regulation and reactive power compensation in distribution system. This cascade M-level inverter consists of (M-1)/2 single phase full bridge inverter(FBI). This multilevel inverter is a natural fit to the flexible ac transmission systems(FACTS) including STATCON, SVC, series compensation and phase shifting, It can solve the problems of conventional transformer-based multipulse inverters and multilevel diode-clamped inverters. From the simulation results, the superiority of D-STATCON with cascade multilevel inverter is shown for high power application.

industrial site has led to a growing concern for harmonic distortion and the resulting impacts on system equipment and operation. Harmonic current is generated by the operation of non-linear load, it means that voltage and current waveforms exhibit a non-linear relationship. Harmonics cause increase losses in the customer and utility power system components. This paper describes application of instantaneous active and reactive theory for the compensation of harmonic currents in three-phase non-linear load.

This paper presents a new compensating system, which consists of a shunt active filter and passive components for mitigating voltage and current disturbances arising from an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). A novel control strategy is presented for the shunt active filter. An extended method based on instantaneous power theory in a rotating reference frame is developed for extraction of compensating signals. Since voltages at the point of common coupling contain low frequency interharmonics, conventional methods cannot be used for dc voltage regulation. Therefore, a new method is introduced for this purpose. The passive components limit the fast variations of load currents and mitigate voltage notching at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). A three-phase electric arc furnace model is used to show power quality improvement through reactive power and harmonic compensation by a shunt active filter using the proposed control method. The system performance is investigated by simulation, which shows improvement in power quality indices such as flicker severity index.

Commencing with incandescent light bulbs, every load today creates harmonics. Unfortunately, these loads vary with respect to their amount of harmonic content and their response to problems caused by harmonics. The prevalent difficulties with harmonics are voltage and current waveform distortions. In addition, Electronic equipment like computers, battery chargers, electronic ballasts, variable frequency drives, and switching mode power supplies generate perilous amounts of harmonics. Issues related to harmonics are of a greater concern to engineers and building designers because they do more than just distort voltage waveforms, they can overheat the building wiring, cause nuisance tripping, overheat transformer units, and cause random end-user equipment failures. Thus power quality is becoming more and more serious with each passing day. As a result, active power filters (APFs) have gained a lot of attention due to their excellent harmonic compensation. However, the performance of the active filters seems to have contradictions with different control techniques. The main objective of this paper is to analyze shunt active filters with fuzzy and pi controllers. To carry out this analysis, active and reactive current methods ($i_d-i_q$) are considered. Extensive simulations were carried out. The simulations were performed under balance, unbalanced and non sinusoidal conditions. The results validate the dynamic behavior of fuzzy logic controllers over PI controllers.

In this study, the speed sensorless vector control system with the magnetizing inductance compensation structure is presented. The estimations of the rotor speed and the magnetizing inductance using the terminal voltages and currents are performed with the reduced order Gopinath flux observer. The rotor speed is estimated by the torque producing current which is derived from the estimated value of the rotor flux and the measured stator currents. In order to compensate the variation of the magnetizing inductance under the saturated conditions, we also established the compensation scheme which is made with the instantaneous reactive power. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

This paper proposes a novel control method of voltage type current-controlled reactive/harmonic compensator. The proposed method does not rely on the explicit computation of load power, but indirectly controls the compensation current by regulating dc link voltage of the converter. It is shown that the system can be modeled as a simple linear system that facilitates an analytical approach to the system characteristics. With the model, the effects of the controller gains on the dynamic and steady state response of the system are investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed control method works well in spite of the simplicity of control circuitry.

This paper presents the sensorless control method that employs the adaptive back-EMF(Electromotive Force) and current model observer of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM). The estimated back EMF considering a saliency is obtained by using the adaptive control method. The estimated EMF is inputted to the current model observer which is connected in series with adaptive back EMF estimator and is used to estimate the position and speed of the rotor. In order to improve the shortcomings of conventional method using the current error components multiplied in the compensation constant, the modified instantaneous reactive power compensator is applied. The validity of the control system presented is verified by the simulation.
