This paper presents a model predictive control for shunt active power filters in synchronous reference frame using space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM). The three phase load currents are transformed into synchronous rotating reference frame in order to reduce the order of the control system. The proposed current controller calculates reference current command for harmonic current components in synchronous frame. The fundamental load current components are transformed into dc components revealing only the harmonics. The predictive current controller will add robustness and fast compensation to generate commands to the SVPWM which minimizes switching frequency while maintaining fast harmonic compensation. By using the model predictive control, the optimal switching state to be applied to the next sampling time is selected. The filter current contains only the harmonic components, which are the reference compensating currents. In this method the supply current will be equal to the fundamental component of load current and a part of the current at fundamental frequency for losses of the inverter. Mathematical analysis and the feasibility of the suggested approach are verified through simulation results under steady state and transient conditions for non-linear load. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is confirmed through experimental validation.

An axisymmetric jet is forced with two helical fundamental waves of identical frequency spinning in opposite directions and an additional axisymmetric sub harmonic wave. The subharmonic component rapidly grows downstream from subharmonic resonance with the fundamental, significantly depending on the initial phase difference. The variations of the subharmonic amplitude with the initial phase difference show cusp-like shapes. The amplification of the sub harmonic results in 'vortex pairing of helical modes'. Furthermore, azimuthal variation of the amplification induces an asymmetric jet cross-section. When the initial subharmonics is imposed with an initial phase difference close to a critical value, the jet-cross section evolves into a three-lobed shape. One lobe is generated by the enhanced vortex pairing and the other two lobes are generated by the delayed vortex pairing. Thus, it is confirmed that the initial phase difference between the fundamental and the subharmonic plays an important role in controlling the jet cross-section.

Conventional methods in time / frequency domain for evaluating the compensation performance of active power filters are not provided easy solutions. So, the authors have previously proposed 3-D current coordinates which is composed into active component, fundamental reactive component and distorted component of nonlinear loads current. This method has excellent performance, but can not evaluate the characteristics of nonlinear load current whether it is inductive or capacitive. Therefore, To overcome problems mentioned previously, this paper deals with the simple Average power theory and the expanded 3-D current coordinates for evaluating the compensation performance of active power filters. To confirm the validity, active power filters simulator is developed using C-language. From the simulation, results are discuss their utility.

The phase-locked loop (PLL) is widely used in grid-tie inverter applications to achieve a synchronization between the inverter and the grid. However, its performance deteriorates when the grid voltage is not purely sinusoidal due to the harmonics and the frequency deviation. Therefore, a high-performance PLL must be designed for single-phase inverter applications to guarantee the quality of the inverter output. This paper proposes a simple method that can improve the performance of the PLL for the single-phase inverter under a non-sinusoidal grid voltage condition. The proposed PLL can accurately estimate the fundamental frequency and theta component of the grid voltage even in the presence of harmonic components. In addition, its transient response is fast enough to track a grid voltage within two cycles of the fundamental frequency. The effectiveness of the proposed PLL is confirmed through the PSIM simulation and experiments.

The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is widely used in grid-tie inverter applications to achieve the synchronization between the inverter and the grid. However, its performance is deteriorated when the grid voltage is not pure sinusoidal due to the harmonics and the frequency deviation. Therefore it is important to design a high performance phase-locked loop (PLL) for the single phase inverter applications to guarantee the quality of the inverter output. In this paper a simple method to improve the performance of the PLL for the single phase inverter is proposed. The proposed PLL is able to accurately estimate the fundamental frequency component of the grid voltage even in the presence of harmonic components. In additional its transient response is fast enough to track a change in grid voltage within two cycles of the fundamental frequency. The effectiveness of the proposed PLL is confirmed through the PSIM simulation and experiments.

During faults, the voltage and current signals available to the relay are affected by the decaying dc component and harmonics. In order to make appropriate and accurate decisions, most of the relaying algorithms require the fundamental frequency phasor information that is immune to decaying dc effect and harmonics. The conventional Fourier ph as or estimation algorithm is affected by the presence of decaying-exponential transients in the fault signal. This paper presents a modified Fourier algorithm, which effectively eliminates the decaying dc component and the harmonics present in the fault signal. The decaying dc parameters are estimated by means of an out-of-band filtering technique. The decaying dc offset and harmonics are removed by means of a simple computational procedure that involves the design of two sets of Orthogonal digital OFT filters tuned at different frequencies and by creating three off-line look-up tables. The technique was tested for different decay rates of the decaying dc component. It was also compared with the conventional mimic plus the full cycle OFT algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed technique has a faster convergence to the desired value compared to the conventional mimic plus OFT algorithms over a wide range of decay rates. In all cases, the convergence to the desired value was achieved within one cycle of the power system frequency.

This paper presents an offset error compensation algorithm for the accurate phase angle of the grid voltage in single-phase grid-connected inverters. The offset error generated from the grid voltage measurement process cause the fundamental harmonic component with grid frequency in the synchronous reference frame phase lock loop (PLL). As a result, the grid angle is distorted and the power quality in power systems is degraded. In addition, the dq-axis currents in the synchronous reference frame and phase current have the dc component, first and second order ripples compared with the grid frequency under the distorted grid angle. In this paper, the effects of the offset and scaling errors are analyzed based on the synchronous reference frame PLL. Particularly, the offset error can be estimated from the integrator output of the synchronous reference frame PLL and compensated by using proportional-integral controller. Moreover, the RMS (Root Mean Square) function is proposed to detect the offset error component. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment results.

In this paper, an advanced PWM modulation strategy for driving a variable-speed induction motor is introduced. According to this method, the technique of efficiently eliminating harmonics component is achived. A switching pattern was computed making use of the near-proportionality of voltage and frequency in AC machines operating with constant flux. At low magnitudes and low frequencies of the foundamental, many more harmonics are eliminated than at high magnitudes and frequencies. In order to keep the inverter switching frequency constant over the output frequency range, chopping times diminishes as the frequency of the fundamental increases.

In this paper, a sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer for IMT-2000 base-station was designed by using single-gate FET cascode structure and driven by the second order harmonic component of LO signal. The dual-gate FET mixer has the characteristic of high conversion gain and good isolation between ports. Sub-harmonic mixing is frequently used to extend RF bandwidth for fixed LO frequency or to make LO frequency lower. Furthermore, the LO-to-RF isolation characteristic of a sub-harmonic mixer is better than that of a fundamental mixer because the frequency separation between the RE and LO frequency is large. As RF power is -30dBm and LO power is 0dBm, the designed mixer shows the -47.17dBm LO-to-RF leakage power level, 10dB conversion gain, -0.5dBm OIP3, -10.5dBm IIP3 and -1dBm 1dB gain compression point.

This paper is a study on frequency analysis and electronic noise reduction of energy storage system (ESS). We acquired 4 necessary data for about 2 minutes and 4 seconds using a sampling frequency of 10,000 Hz in ESS. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) was used for electronic noise analysis from the acquired data. As a result, it was confirmed that DC component, fundamental wave, second and higher harmonic component exist. For the attenuation of harmonics, low-pass filter (LPF) was applied. We confirmed that an attenuation of approximately 59.3% appears from the second harmonic. The presence of many harmonic components in the data of the ESS was expected to occur due to the insufficiency of optimization among the modules inside the ESS. Therefore, we propose that a national certification system for ESS should be introduced to settle down the issue properly.
