Many unbalanced factors of underground transmission power cable, such as burying types and the length difference of the cable between each minor section, etc will cause the impedance unbalance and excessive circulating current between cables. So this paper presents the analysis of sheath circulating current in accordance with the distance between the center conductors and phase arrangement. ground resistance value changes on 154kV transmission system. Based on these simulation results, this paper will contribute to the reduction method of sheath circulation current.

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.

The unbalance currents flow the High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) power cable caused by asymmetrical fault, harmonic distortion and unbalanced load. That problem causes additional loss and leakage field in the HTS power cable, and deteriorates the electric power quality and stability. In addition, large amounts of unbalanced current can cause negative sequence and ground relays to operate. This paper presents an analysis unbalanced three-phase current distribution in HTS power cable caused by unbalanced load condition and grounding methods using PSCAD/EMTDC. The results obtained through the analysis would provide important data for the design of HTS power cables and valid information for their installation in power system.

The effects of dead-time and offset error, which cause output current distortion in single-phase grid-connected inverters are investigated this paper. Offset error is typically generated by measuring phase current, including the voltage unbalance of analog devices and non-ideal characteristics in current measurement paths. Dead-time inevitably occurs during generation of the gate signal for controlling power semiconductor switches. Hence, the performance of the grid-connected inverter is significantly degraded because of the current ripples. The current and voltage, including ripple components on the synchronous reference frame and stationary reference frame, are analyzed in detail. An algorithm, which has the proportional resonant controller, is also proposed to reduce current ripple components in the synchronous PI current regulator. As a result, computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is greatly simplified, and the magnitude of the current ripples is significantly decreased. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed current ripple reduction algorithm.

Depending on the operating characteristics, track circuit is installed for the purpose of control directly or indirectly of the signal device, point switch machine and other security device. These are mainly used for train detection, transmission of information, broken train detection and transmission of return current. Especially, the return current is related to signal system, power system and catenary line, and track circuit systems. It is one of the most important component shall be dealt for the safety of track side staff and for the protection of railway-related electrical system according to electrification. Therefore, an accurate analysis of the return current is needed to prevent the return current unbalance and the system induced disorder and failure due to an over current condition. Also, if the malfunction occurred by the return current harmonics, it can cause problems including train operation interruption. In this paper, we presented measurement and analysis method at return current and it's harmonics by train operation. By the test criteria, we evaluated for safety. Hereafter, it is expected to contribute to the field associated with it.

The analysis and control algorithm of a new type unsymmetrical self-bearing step motor is presented. The motor actuator is used for both motor and bearing functionality without any redundant coil windings or redudant electromagnets for bearing functionality. Self bearing step motor layout and control current generation method for unsymmetrical position of electromagnets are described. This new current generation method without additional current for bearing functionality leads to minimize the power loss. As the result of the unbalance response approach, the constant torque is possible, even though the bearing functionality is added or not.

In this paper, a novel control scheme compensating source voltage unbalance and harmonic currents for the combined system of series active and shunt passive power filter is proposed, where no low/high-pass filters are used in deriving the reference voltage for compensation. The phase angle and the reference voltages compensating for harmonic current and unbalanced voltage are derived from the positive sequence component of the unbalanced voltage set, which is simply obtained by using digital all-pass filters. In order to remove the phase delay in generating the reference voltage for compensation, the reference of 5th and 7th harmonic components is predicted one-sampling ahead. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified for 3[kVA] proto-type active power filter system.

This paper proposes a simple MPPT control scheme of a Current-Control-Loop Error system Based that can be obtains a lot of advantage to compare with another digital control method, P&O and IncCond algorithm that is applied mostly a PV system. An existent method is needed an expensive processor such as DSP that calculated to change the measure power of a using current and voltage sensor at the once. Therefore, it is applied a small home power generation system that required many expenses. But, a proposed method is easy to solve the cost reduction and power unbalance problems that it is used by control scheme to limit error of a current control of common sensor. This proposed algorithm had verified through a simulation and an experiment on battery charger using PIC that is the microprocessor of a low price.

The phase-lock technique is applied to a three-phase semi-bridge type battery charger system. Using an inner fast dynamic loop, the phase-locked voltage control (PLVC) technique of three-phase semi-bridge converter is proposed to give a frequency synchronism and to reduce the subharmonics due to the unbalance of transformer or power line. To protect the power devices, the two stage soft-start, function with softly locking the phase and softly increasing the current is presented. As limiting the reference voltage of the inner voltage control loop, muti-lock phenomena are removed on the PLVC loop. A current limit function is also proposed to limit the current of battery and converter. The proposed controller is confirmed through experiment results.

This paper presents the 3-phase hybrid series active power filter with dynamic voltage restorer(DVR) which serve as an energy buffer and current harmonics blocking resistor connected to sensitive loads, such as, to compensate voltage dips and current harmonics in power distribution system. The DVR is to inject a dynamically controlled voltage generated by a forced commutated converter in series to the bus voltage by means of a booster transformer. The momentary amplitudes of the three injected phase voltages are controlled such as to eliminate any detrimental effects of a bus fault to the load voltage. The proposed system is able to simultaneously compensate current harmonics, voltage fluctuating and voltage unbalance in power distribution systems. The reference phase angle detected by synchronized with the positive sequence component of the unbalanced source by using symmetrical component transformation. The effectiveness of proposed system is verified by the computer simulation.
