In this paper, a novel control scheme compensating source voltage unbalance and harmonic currents for hybrid active power filters is proposed, where no low/high-pass filters are used in compensation voltage composition. The phase angle and compensation voltages for source harmonic current and unbalanced voltage components are derived from the positive sequence component of the unbalanced voltage set, which is simply obtained by using digital all-pass filters. Since a balanced set of the source voltage obtained by scaling the positive sequence components is used as reference values for source current and load voltage, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of low/high-pass filters in the reference generation. Therefore the control algorithm is much simpler and gives more stable performance than the conventional method. In addition, the source harmonic current is eliminated by compensating for the harmonic voltage of the load side added to feedback control of the fundamental component.

A SRG (Switched Reluctance Generator) has many advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, high-speed capability and robustness compared with other of machine. But the control methods that have been adopted for SRGs are complicated. This paper proposes a simple control method using the PID controller which only controls turn-off angles while keeping turn-on angles of SRG constant. In order to keep the output voltage constant, the turn-off angle for load variations is controlled by using linearity between the generated current and turn-off angle since the reference generated current can be led through the voltage errors between the reference and the actual voltage. The suggested control method enhances the robustness of this system and simplifies the hardware and software by using only the voltage and the speed sensors. The proposed method is verified by experiments.

SRG (Switched Reluctance Generator) have many advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, high-speed capability and robustness compared with characteristics of other machines. However, the control methods that have been adopted for SRGs are complicated. This paper proposes a simple control method using PID controller that only controls turn-off angles while keeping turn-on angles of SRG constant. The linear characteristics between the generated current and the turn-off angle can be used to control the turn-off angle for load variations. Since the reference current for generation can be produced from an error between the reference and the real voltage, it can be controlled to keep the output voltage constant. The proposed control method enhances the robustness of this system and simplifies the hardware and software by using only the voltage and speed sensors. The proposed method is verified by experimental results.

In this paper, a new speed sensorless control based on an instantaneous reactive power is proposed for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) drives. In proposed algorithm, the current observer estimates the line currents and the estimated speed can be yielded from the voltage equation because the information of speed is included in back EMF. To implement speed sensorless control, the current observer is composed by using the voltage equation of the IPMSM in the stationary reference frame fixed to the stator. The estimated speed of the rotor is composed by using the voltage equation of the IPMSM in the rotating reference frame fixed to the rotor The estimated speeds to minimize the speed error compensated by using the instantaneous reactive power. The instantaneous reactive power is calculated on the rotating reference frame fixed to the rotor. The effectiveness of the preposed algorithm is confirmed by the experiments.

A new SPWM control method for Uninterrupted Power System(UPS) is presented. A triangle waveform is used as the reference signal. The desired SPWM control signal can be obtained more easily with a group of comparators. The output AC voltage can be regulated by controlling the lower reference and the upper reference of the comparators according to the feedback voltage. Basic principle, an actual circuit and the experimental results on a 500W UPS for computer system is discussed as an example.

A new method for reducing the common-mode current generated by the voltage variations in a two-inverter air conditioner system by applying a synchronized pulse-width modulation (PWM) strategy is proposed. The PWM signals of the master-mode inverter are generated based on the reference voltage, while those of the slave-mode inverter are output in the opposite direction when the master-mode inverter changes its switching state. However, the slave-mode control results in a mismatch between the reference voltage and the actual output voltage that is modified by synchronized control operation. The proposed method is capable of reducing and controlling this voltage error by performing signal selection in the vector space of the slave-mode inverter, which mitigates the distortion of the phase current. The efficacy of this method in reducing conducted emissions has been validated both theoretically and experimentally.

DSTATCOM is active filter that reduces nonlinear and unbalanced currents. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the reference value calculation of compensation current depending on the calculation of the load-side average active power and dc-link capacitor average voltage, the other part is actual current control depending on the reference value of compensation current. This paper proposes a calculation of dc-link capacitor average voltage ripple voltage extraction instead of conventional method using LPF. The utility of the proposed algorithm is verified through the theoretical analysis and the experiment under unbalance loads and non-linear load.

In this paper, the generation of a reference current and voltage signal based on a Kalman filter is offered for a 3-phase 4wire UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner). The performance of the UPQC is improved with source voltages that are distorted due to harmonic components. Despite harmonic and frequency variations, the Kalman filter is capable enough to determine the amplitude and the phase angle of load currents and source voltages. The calculation of the first state is sufficient to identify the fundamental components of the current, voltage and angle. Therefore, the Kalman state estimator is fast and simple. A Kalman based control strategy is proposed and implemented for a UPQC in a distribution system. The performance of the proposed control strategy is assessed for all possible source conditions with varying nonlinear and linear loads. The functioning of the proposed control algorithm with a UPQC is scrutinized and validated through simulations employing MATLAB/Simulink software. Using a FPGA SPATRAN 3A DSP board, the proposed algorithm is developed and implemented. A small-scale laboratory prototype is built to verify the simulation results. The stated control scheme for the UPQC reduces the following issues, voltage sags, voltage swells, harmonic distortions (voltage and current), unbalanced supply voltage and unbalanced power factor under dynamic and steady-state operating conditions.
