This paper proposes an APF(Active Power Filter) with WRIM(Wounded Rotor Induction Motor) controlled by sliding mode which can compensate harmonic currents generated in a power system. As non-linear loads increase gradually in industry fields, harmonic current generated In the electric power network system also increases. Harmonic current makes a power network current distorted and generates heat, vibration and noise In the power machinery, Many approaches have been applied to compensate harmonic currents generated in the power system. Among various control strategy, in this paper, a sliding mode controlled systems is designed and evaluated. This is a flywheel compensator based on secondary excitation of WRIM(wounded rotor induction motor) with SMC(sliding mode controller). The proposed system uses a flywheel as an energy storage device. The designed control scheme is verified through simulation.

This paper proposed a new control strategy for voltage source inverter (VSI) of effective fifth and seventh harmonic reduction in the point of common coupling (PCC) in islanded microgrid under nonlinear load without any additional hardware devices. The non-linear load regularly causes such harmonic distortion, which harmfully affect the performance of other loads or other distributed generation (DG) sources connect to the PCC. In order to improve the quality of delivered output voltage, these harmonic must be rejected. The proposed control strategy is developed based on the current controller formed by resonant controller parallel with a proportional integral controller, which perform on the fundamental reference frame. The reference current is estimated based on the voltage harmonic and the injecting power. The simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of proposed control method.

DSTATCOM(distribution static compensator) is one of the custom power devices, and protects a distribution line from unbalanced and harmonic current caused by non-linear and unbalanced loads. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the calculation of compensation current and the other part is the current control. Conventional researches use a LPF(low pass filter) to eliminate ripple component at the calculation of compensation current. But this method has a problem that LPF's characteristics restrict the compensation performance of instantaneous active and reactive power. This paper proposes a calculation of compensation current using state observer that can be a counterproposal of conventional methods using LPF. Improved performance of instantaneous active and reactive power compensation was shown by experiments.

비선형 부하는 고조파 발생원으로 고조파 전압원과 고조파 전류원의 두종류로 분류된다. 직렬동조필터는 개인용 컴퓨터 부하와 같이 직류 캐패시터가 있는 비선형 부하로 고조파 전압원에 매우 효과적으로 고조파를 저감시킨다. 병렬동조필터는 교류 구동장치와 같이 직류 리액터가 있는 비선형 부하로 고조파 전류원에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 직렬 및 병렬 동조 필터의 고조파 저감 특성과 비교를 검토하고 실험하였다. 국제 고조파 관리 기준인 IEC 1000-3-2 으로 직렬 및 병렬 동조필터의 고조파 저감 효과를 평가하고자 한다.

This work focuses on the evaluation of active power filter which is controlled by fuzzy logic and neural network based controller for harmonic mitigation and power factor enhancement. The APF consists of a variable DC voltage source and a DC/AC inverter. The task of an APF is to make the line current waveform as close as possible to a sinusoid in phase with the line voltage by injecting the compensation current. The compensation current is estimated using adaptive neural network. Using the estimated current, the proposed APF is controlled using neural network and fuzzy logic. Computer simulations of the proposed APF are performed using MATLAB. The results show that the proposed techniques for the evaluation of APF can reduce the total harmonic distortion less than 3% and improve the power factor of the system to almost unity.

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.

This paper proposes a new algorithm to generate a reference signal for an active power filter using a sliding-window FFT operation to improve the steady-state performance of the active power filter. In the proposed algorithm the sliding-window FFT operation is applied to the load current to generate the reference value for the compensating current. The magnitude and phase-angle for each order of harmonics are respectively averaged for 14 periods. Furthermore, the phase-angle delay for each order of harmonics passing through the controller is corrected in advance to improve the compensation performance. The steady-state and transient performance of the proposed algorithm was verified through computer simulations and experimental work with a hardware prototype. A single-phase active power filter with the proposed algorithm can offer a reduction in THD from 75% to 4% when it is applied to a non-linear load composed of a diode bridge and a RC circuit. The active power filter with the proposed reference generation method shows accurate harmonic compensation performance compared with previously developed methods, in which the THD of source current is higher than 5%.

The conventional graphical representation of the instantaneous compensation power flow for single-phase active power filters(APFs) simply represents the active power flow and the reactive power flow which flowing between the power source and the active filter / the load. But, this method does not provide the information about the rectification mode and the compensation mode of APFs, especially, the loss for each mode was not considered at all. This is very important to understand the compensation operation characteristics of APFs. Therefore, this paper proposes the graphical representation of the instantaneous compensation power flow for single-phase APFs considering the instantaneous rectification mode and the instantaneous inversion mode. Three cases are verified in this paper - without compensation, with compensation of the active power 'p' and the fundamental reactive power 'q', and with compensation of only the distorted power 'h'. To ensure the validity of the proposed approach, PSIM simulation is achieved. As a result, we could confirm that the proposed approach was easy to explain the instantaneous compensation power flow considering the instantaneous rectification mode and the instantaneous inversion mode of APFs, also, Total Harmonic Distortion(THD)/Power Factor (P.F) and Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) analysis were compared for each case.

Voltage harmonics resulting from current harmonics produced by the nonlinear loads have become a serious problem in many systems. Moreover momentary interruptions and voltage sags are responsible for many of the power quality problems found in typical industrial plants. In this paper, proposed power system using series active power filter is not only harmonic compensation but also harmonic isolation between supply and load, and voltage regulation and unbalance compensation. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified through computer simulations and experiments

To get instantaneous reference data in a single power system with vector space phasors, the instantaneous load current is adopted as a phase and another new signal, which is delayed through filtering by the phase-delay property of a low-pass filter, is used as the secondary phase. Because the two-phases have a different phase, the instantaneous value of the harmonic current can be obtained without a time-delay in calculation. The reference voltage is created by multiplying the coefficient k by the compensation current using the rotating reference frame synchronized with the source-frequency. To verify the validity of the proposed control method, experiments are carried out on a prototype of the single-phase hybrid active power filter system.
