Previous publications regarding the design and specifications of input filters for STATCOMs usually deal with the input filter only, and seldom pay any attention to the influence of the input filters on the performance of the STATCOM systems. A detailed analysis of the influences of input filters on the stability of STATCOM systems and the corresponding design considerations are presented in this paper. Three types of input filters, L filters, LC filters, and LCL filters, are examined separately. The influences of the parameters of input filters on system stability are investigated through frequency domain methods. With direct current control taken as the major control strategy for the STATCOMs, the different situations when adopting different current detection points are covered in this analysis. A comparison between LC filters and LCL filters is also presented with optimized filter parameters. Based on the analysis, the phase margin, as one of the design considerations for the different types of input filters under different current detection schemes, is discussed. This leads to filter parameters that are different than those of the traditional design. Hardware experimental results verify the validity of the above analysis and design.

Input filter is an essential component in a practical matrix converter (MC) system to generate the sinusoidal input currents. However, the input filter causes a displacement angle between the input current of MC and the source current. In this paper, we investigate the input filter design for MCs by considering the displacement angles of the input current and the input voltage to guarantee high input power factor (IPF) operation as well as low input current harmonic contents. Simulation results are provided to validate the input filter design with near unity input power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current.

Observer design for system with unknown input was carried out. First, Kalman filter was considered to estimate system state with White noise. With the results of Kalman filter design, state observer, controller properties, including controllability and observability, and the Kalman filter structure and algorithm were also studied. Kalman filter algorithm was applied to Position and velocity measurement based on Kalman filter with white noise, and it was constructed and achieved by programming based on Matlab programming. Finally, observer for system with unknown input was constructed with the help of Gershgorin's disc theorem. With the designed observer, system states was constructed and applied to system with unknown input. By simulation results, estimation performance was verified. In this project, state feedback control theory, observer theory and relevant design procedure, as well as Kalman filter design were understood and used in practical application.

Current Source(CS) PWM converter is appropriate for the magnet power supply system which requests high power and high precision current control. Input and output filters should be installed to eliminate the current or voltage harmonics caused by the PWM switching for the CS PWM converter. But the input/output filters limit the output DC current range and may destroy the system with filter resonance, and make the system equation more complicated. In this paper, systematic and simple filter design method which considers not only the harmonic attenuation but also the total system good transfer function characteristics in the dc filter. The simulated and experimental results verify the proposed theory. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

In this paper, a design method of LCL filter at the AC input side of a voltage source PWM converter is proposed. Effective method to prevent pollution of the utility caused by high frequency current ripple is to use a AC input LCL filter, The C elements in the filter provide a low impedance path for the high frequency component, preventing them from entering the utility. The resistors In series with the capacitors are used for damping the resonance in the filter The design examples are shown and the validity of the proposed design method is verified through the PSIM simulation.

In this paper, input LC filter design of diode rectifiers considering filter V A rating reduction has been propoesd. It consisted of an input LC parallel resonent tank whose inductor and capacitor values are se$.$ lected so that the input filter presents an infinite impedance to harmonic input ac current component.

A design for the input filter and the output filter of a single-phase UPS system is proposed. And also, this paper describes a reduction of the DC voltage ripple of a single-phase UPS. The input power of proposed UPS fluctuates with twice frequency of the utility source, which causes DC voltage fluctuation. The reduction of the DC voltage fluctuation requires a large DC link capacitor. The proposed method uses a LC series resonant filter paralleled with a conventional smoothing capacitor. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by simulation results.

An adaptive filter for noise cancellation of ECG Is proposed. An adaptive noise canceller using the least mean squares algorithm Is used to reduce unwanted noise. An adaptive filter for nolse cancella lion minimizes the mean-square error between a primary input and a reference input. A primary input is the noisy ECG, and a reference input is a noise that Is correlated in some way with the noise in the primary input or a signal that is correlated only with ECG in the primary input.

In this paper, active input filter for power factor correction(PFC) circuit employing ripple arrent and voltage cancellation is proposed to reduce filter's size and cost, and to make filter design easy. Switching ripple current and voltage can be sensed through the secondary windings of filter inductor. Single stage passive filter can achieve high order filter characteristics by using active ripple current and voltage cancellation technique. Conventional high order passive filter and its problems are suggested. Analysis of active filter and design procedure are detailed. Simulation result is presented to verify high order filter characteristics of proposed scheme.
