This paper presents the application of bee colony optimization (BCO) to obtain the optimal switching angles for single phase PWM AC choppers. The optimal switching angles are found in the region of 0-${\pi}$ based on the asymmetrical PWM technique. This PWM process results in improvements of the total harmonic distortion of the output voltage and in the input power factor. Simulation and experimental results are compared with the conventional PWM to verify the performance of the proposed PWM process.

Input current ripple and harmonic components of the power device are main causes of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Although the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation can reduce harmonic components of the power device by reducing reverse recovery current of diode and turn-off voltage spikes of the switch, input current ripple increases due to high peak to peak inductor current. Therefore, in this paper, frequency control algorithm is proposed to reduce the input current ripple of DCM operated interleaved boost converter. In the proposed algorithm, duty ratio is fixed either 0.33 or 0.67 to minimize the input current ripple and the switching frequency is controlled according to operating conditions. 600 W 3-phase interleaved boost converter prototype system is built to verify proposed algorithm.

The harmonic distortion level may be significant in electric propulsion systems, as the main loads usually are variable speed propulsion/thruster drives. Distortion of currents and supply voltage waveforms may lead to: Increased power dissipation(losses) in equipment connected to the network, such as generators, motors, transformers, cables, etc., from the harmonic currents, may cause overheating and deterioration of the insulation, and reduced life time of the equipment. In this paper introduced the canceling method of harmonic currents by a multipulse drive with phase shifting transformer. The simulation results indicated a good speed response to the middle speed range of electric propulsion motor. And also, THD(total harmonic distortion) and torque ripple could be reduced in comparing the 12-pulse drive with 6-pulse drive.

Musical genre is indispensible in constructing music information retrieval system, such as music search and classification. In general, the spectral characteristics of a music signal are obtained based on a subband decomposition to represent the relative distribution of the harmonic and the non-harmonic components. In this paper, we investigate the subband decomposition parameters in extracting features, which improves musical genre classification accuracy. In addition, the linear projection methods are studied to reduce the resulting feature dimension. Experiments on the widely used music datasets confirmed that the subband decomposition finer than the widely-adopted octave scale is conducive in improving genre-classification accuracy and showed that the feature-dimension reduction is effective reducing a classifier's computational complexity.

The active filter of current injection type is the device which eliminates the harmonics in ac line by injecting the harmonic compensating current into the ac side. And its harmonic reduction performance is entirely dependent on the control scheme of the current-fed inverter and the harmonic compensating current becomes the PWM wave by the inverter. This PWM compensating current can be determined by selecting the switching function properly which eliminates the harmonics up to any order with using no independent sources. The new injection current model is derived by the proposed method which is called the optimized injection method. The overall characteristics of the proposed method are investigated through digital computation and the feasibility is proved with experimental results obtained from the Z-80 microcomputer control of the active filter.

In order to design and predict the performance of the harmonic side drive motor, it is necessary to analyze the torque generated by the structure. In this paper, an analytical model is proposed for design. Conformal mapping is used to model the capacitance and torque of the motor as a function of the rotor angular position with two-dimensional approximation. Then the result of conformal mapping analysis is verified with F.E.M result.

Phase angle in grid-connected inverter is important information for current control. When different loads are connected to PCC(Point of Common Coupling) of grid, distorted grid voltage is taken place by load utility generating distorted current. Especially, in case the grid voltage is distorted by low order frequency such as $3^{rd}$, $5^{th}$ harmonic, phase angle of PLL output is distorted. This paper analyze problem of current THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) due to distorted phase angle by distorted grid voltage, and propose control method compensating this problem. Also, it‘s validity is verified by simulation and experiment.

To improve the power factor and reduce the harmonic contents of the system, the design of tunned filters for six-pulse thyrister converter which is used by electrolyzer system is discussed in this paper. Tunned filters are added to high-power rectifiers to keep the line current distortion within allowable limits and to improve the rectifier power factor. For electrolyzer system, the design procedure of tunned filters of AC 14.4kV power system are proposed by dynamic simulation. It is shown that these harmonic filters can meet most operational requirments. The the proposed design procedure is verified with the simulation and experimental results.

This paper describes how computer simulations can be used to predict harmonic problems before they occur, and evaluate corrective alternatives prior to implementation PTW(Power Tools for Windows) is used for simulations to the real model system. Harmonic load flow studies, voltage/current distortion levels, harmonic frequency scans and filter selection method are analysed through detailed power system simulation.
