This paper proposes the new voltage event detection method using the weight factor of neural network and describes control system design for the DVR(Dynamic Voltage Restorer) consisted of a rectifier and series inverter applied to 22.9kV distribution system. As this method can express the fault level of each phase, we expect the proposed method can make up for disadvantage of synchronous detection method. Also, in this paper, the control system was designed using double deadbeat controller, As it has an inner current control loop and an outer voltage control loop, we can easily limit the current level during the transient intervals by using the current control loop. Simulation and experiment are performed to prove the analysis of the voltage event detection method and double deadbeat controller.

This paper presents an adaptive recursive least squares algorithm (ARLS) for detecting voltage sag and voltage swell events in power systems. Different methods have been developed to detect voltage sag and voltage swell. Some of them use window techniques, which are too slow when voltage sag or swell mitigation is required. Others depend on the extraction of a single non-stationary sinusoidal signal out of a given multi-components input signal, and therefore they don't consider the harmonic components in calculating the voltage root mean square value (rms). The method, proposed in this paper, is capable of estimating the voltage rms taking into account all harmonic components. The method is tested by applying it to different, simulated signals using ATP program, and compared with voltage sag detection algorithms.

All circuits in power input can only use the power provided by an external power supply. General electronic circuits use a secondary supply generated by a converter using a primary power in the power input. But protection and detection circuit for over-voltage circuit or under-voltage in power input have to use that input power because there is no other supply in power input. Therefore, previous electronics for satellite can protect only over-voltage using a zener diode, and can't detect over-voltage and under-voltage events, and provide a detection capability for over-voltage and under-voltage only for secondary supply. The proposed circuit can detect over-voltage and under-voltage using a single supply for the primary power input, +28V, with the threshold characteristics for MOS-FET, and the accuracy for a detection circuit is increased by 2.5%.

In this paper, a VSC(Voltage Sag Corrector) is discussed for the purpose of power quality enhancement. A fast detecting technique of voltage sag is accomplished through the detection of instantaneous value on synchronous reference frame. A robust characteristic against the noise is available by inserting the first order low pass filter in the detection circuit. The formula and the filter design process is described properly with the mathematical equations. Because the VSC system supply the active power to load, it is required to design the proper size of the energy storage system, In this paper, the capacitor bank is used as an energy storage system, and the size of the capacitor is designed from the point of view of input/output energy as the output power rating and the amplitude and duration time of the voltage sag. The simulation is accomplished by PSCAD/EMTDC.

In this paper, designed a diode detector and a log chip detector for mobile communication, and its application is proposed by compared results. In practice, fabricated a diode detector have showed detection voltage of $0{\sim}0.7V$ to RF input power of $-40dBm{\sim}-10dBm$, therefore it has suitable characteristic for small variable signal detection. And a log chip detector have showed wide dynamic range of 65dB, and $1.5{\sim}4.5V$ detection voltage to RF input power of $-65dBm{\sim}0dBm$. therefore we have found that it suit peak power measurement because it had insensible output detection voltage.

This paper presents a new fault detection scheme for voltage fed inverter to improve the reliability of power electronic system, which is of paramount importance in the wide industrial applications. The proposed method is achieved by using voltage across lower switches in each phase under the switch fault condition. The reconfiguration method is achieved by the four-switch topology connecting a faulty leg to the middle point of DC-link using bidirectional switches. The proposed method has a simple algorithm and fast fault detection time. Therefore, normal operation of the system after faults is continuously achieved by reconfiguration of system topology. The superior performance of the proposed fault detection and tolerance method are proved by simulation.

The new method is proposed to improve high speed detection of grid voltage phase and magnitude during a voltage dip due to a grid faults. Usually, A LPF(Low Pass Filter) is used in the feedback loop of PLL (Phase Locked Loop) system because the measured grid voltage contains harmonic distortions and sensor noises. so, a new design method of the loop gain of the PI -type controller in the PLL system is proposed with the consideration of the dynamics of the LPF. As a result, a better transient response can be obtained with the proposed design method. The LPF frequency and PI controller gain are designed in coordination according to the steady state and dynamic performance requirement. This paper shows the feasibility and the usefulness of the proposed methods through the computer simulation and the lab-scale experiments.

The Grid code is being strengthen as increase of renewable energy ratio. Especially, the grid connection regulations are continuously being updated for stable operation of power grids. Static grid support and Dynamic grid support must make an accurate measure at Grid connected point because they needs control algorithm individually. It has to exactly measure voltage including switching ripple at the output of the inverter generating system. In addition, it is necessary to have an accurate voltage measurement when the situation rapidly changing the grid impedance is caused by the input of serial impedance of transformer and line impedance as well as Grid Fault Device. In this paper, We propose a new detection method of grid voltage to calculate accurately the r.m.s voltage of the grid connection point along the standard required by the low voltage regulation. We verified performance through simulation grid fault device.

The operational feasibility was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software, and experimental works with a 3kVA prototype. The developed system can compensate the input voltage sag and interruption within 2ms. The maximum allowable duration of voltage interruption is about 4 seconds. The developed system can be effectively used to compensate the voltage interruption in the sensitive load, such as computer, communication devices, and automation devices, and medical equipment. The developed system has a simple structure to be easily implemented with commercially available components, and to be highly reliable in operation.
