There are today many techniques for controlling active filters on single-phase networks in order to correct the power factor and limit the harmonics consumed at the source. Almost all of these methods are determined for a perfect sinusoidal source. The work developed here concerns the taking into account of a perturbed network, that is to say the presence of voltage harmonics at the connection point...
Shunt active power filters (SAPF) generally compensate harmonic current of centralized non-linear loads, which may cause undesired economical burden for networks with distributed harmonic sources. This paper proposed an SAPF predictive control method based on online impedance measurement which can suppress the network-wide harmonics systematically in an optimized way.
The implementation of 15 kV Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in a three-phase, three-level active power filter of 100 kVA for a 10 kVAC grid and their challenges is shown. Due to the high switching frequency of 16 kHz, respectively 32 kHz ripple frequency, it will perfectly suited for active filtering of harmonics in the medium voltage grid.
This paper proposes a three-phase six-inductor double-switch PFC circuit which is suitable for high frequency UPS application. This PFC circuit not only achieves high power factor correction in grid-connected mode of UPS, but also improves bus voltage in battery mode of UPS. This new PFC removes the independent boost design in common UPS and the whole cost can be reduced. The topology structure and...
This paper presents two implementations of finite control set model predictive methods applied to AC/DC converters with an LCL filter. The LCL filter in contrast to L filter offers higher level of harmonics attenuation. However, despite its advantages, LCL filter can cause a strong resonance in grid current. The proposed control strategy, i.e. PCi2uc-3L uses basic advantages of the MPC methods — multivariable...
The problem of input saturation in linear-quadratic-gaussian (LQG) control of a single-phase converter with LCL filter is addressed by design of an anti-windup compensator. Since the full state is not directly observed, a Kalman filter observer has been designed. Performance of the proposed control is illustrated on simulation examples under ideal sinusoidal source and source with additional harmonics.
In this paper a dual DC/DC/AC inverter with discrete non-stationary state feedback controller is presented. Neural network based control algorithm is proposed to optimal control of PMSM drive. The considered converter topology and designed control structure with discrete state feedback controllers significantly reduces the harmonics content in phase currents.
In this work, a Lyapunov-function based control method for three-phase grid-tied LCL-filtered quasi-z-source source inverters (qZSIs) is proposed. The mathematical model of grid-tied qZSI is modeled in the synchronously rotating dq-frame. Motivated from the energy distribution in qZSI, an energylike function (referred to as Lyapunov-function) is formed. Then, using Lyapunov's direct method a Lyapunov-function...
Torque pulsation in permanent magnet synchronous motor impairs their performance in critical applications, particularly for direct-drive. A practical approach to compensation of selected torque harmonics is presented. The approach consists of two steps: identification of dominant torque harmonics (the cogging harmonics and the flux linkage harmonics) and cuckoo search algorithm to tune the compensation...

Simulations were carried out in the MATLAB/SimPowerSystems environment. Modified IEEE13 bus system with distributed generation was used. Experimental...

A Lyapunov approach based homogeneous higher order SM-Controller (HOSMC) is considered here, for grid connected three phases three wires shunt active filter (SAF) via LCL filter.

This paper presents designing procedure of a high efficiency 5 kW silicon-carbide (SiC) based three-phase power factor correction (PFC). SiC switches present low capacitive switching loss compared to the alternative Si switches. Therefore, the switching frequency can be increased and hence the size of the line filter (generally reactive components) will be reduced. However, to achieve high efficiency...

A 24-sided structure eliminates dominant low order phase voltage harmonics including and up to seventeenth and nineteenth orders throughout the speed range including step operation. The power circuit has a two-level inverter and two low voltage cascaded...
Compared with the typical three-phase voltage converter, the current source rectifier is very interesting front-end converter because of its buck-type nature and low electromagnetic interferences. However, it includes LC filter, which causes distortions of the grid currents and enhances the reactive power. Proper control algorithm can fix those disadvantages. The chosen option is finite control set...

The strategies are evaluated first with respect to the maximum power injection in case of...
Parallel interleaved converters for high power renewable energy systems present stability issues at the LCL resonance frequency. A multisampled measurement and filtering strategy is proposed to stabilize the system based on the capacitor voltage derivative active damping, overcoming its limitations for low switching power converters. The effects of the delays on the stability of the active damping...
PFC converters are widely used in industrial drive systems. The modulation scheme and the topology of the converter have a considerable impact not only on the switching losses, but also on the volume of the passive components, i.e. the EMI filter (CM and DM) and the dC link capacitors. In order to evaluate this impact, different modulation schemes for 2L and 3L topologies are analysed in this paper...
