최근 중대용량의 교류전동기 구동에 다단 H-브릿지 인버터의 적용이 늘어나고 있다. 이 인버터의 주된 장점 중의 하나는 입력전류에 고조파성분이 적다는 것으로 이는 2차측이 다중의 위상이동 권선으로 이루어진 변압기를 사용함으로써 이루어진다. 본 논문은 다단 H-브릿지 인버터에 적용되는 위상이동 변압기의 권선 설계의 기본 방안과 입력전류 고조파의 이론적인 해석을 제시하고 있다. 위상이동 변압기를 다룬 I부에 이어 II부에서는 입력 선전류의 고조파 특성을 해석함으로써 고조파 제거를 위한 등간격 위상차 설정방식의 이론적 근거를 규명하였다.

The demands of minimizing the reactive power and reducing. the current harmonics are increasing nowadays. The inverter airconditioner needs high power and it operates with wide load range. Conventionally, ah huge LC passive filter is used in airconditioner to improve the P.F and to reduce current harmonics which doesn't gives good results. In this paper, a design of active power factor correction(PFC) circuit for inverter air conditioner is described. To improve the P.F and to reduce the THD, an average current controlled active PFC is designed and tested. Experimental results show that the developed system achieves almost unity P.F and low THD for all load range.

This paper deals with PWM patterns for harmonic reduction in inverter fed traction motors and the gear changing techniques for the variable speed drive of traction motor. GTOs are used as switching device of inverter because traction motor is a large load. To derive PWM rattern which can minimize the harmonics with the limited switching frequency, the output current and torque characteristic of SPWM and SHE PWM was analyzed. GTO inverter used for traction motor drive includes harmonics in the output current and torque by the limitation of switching frequency. However, the hybrid PWM method that adopt SPWM in the range of low frequency and SHE PWM in upper frequency range can achieve less harmonic characteristics in GTO inverters. If the traction motor is driven in variable speed by the proposed PWM pattern, 7 times of gear changing is needed. At the instant of the mode change, magnetic flux and torque may be altered and the large current flow. To reduce such an undesirable transient behavior, it is also presented the technique for the gear changing of inverter fed traction motor drive operated with the hybrid PWM. The results are verified by simulations and experiments.

This paper deals with a new wave shaping technique for cost effective harmonic mitigation in ac-dc converter feeding Vector Controlled Induction Motor Drives(VCIMD's) for improving power quality at the point of common coupling(PCC). The proposed harmonic mitigator consists of a polygon connected autotransformer based twelve-pulse ac-dc converter and a small rating passive shunt filter tuned for $11^{th}$ harmonic frequency. This ac-dc converter eliminates the most dominant $5^{th},\;7^{th},\;and\;11^{th}$ harmonics and imposes the reduction of other higher order harmonics from the ac main current, thereby improving the power quality at ac mains. The design of autotransformer is carried out for the proposed ac-dc converter to make it suitable for retrofit applications, where presently a 6-pulse ac-dc converter is used. The effect of load variation on VCIMD is also studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ac-dc converter in a wide operating range of the drive. Experimental results obtained on the developed laboratory prototype of the proposed harmonic mitigator are used to validate the model and design of the ac-dc converter.

This paper analyses the mathematical model and control strategies of a Hybrid Active Power Filter with Injection Circuit (IHAPF). The control strategy based on the load harmonic current detection is selected. A novel control method for a IHAPF, which is based on the analyzed control mathematical model, is proposed. It consists of two closed-control loops. The upper closed-control loop consists of a single fuzzy logic controller and the IHAPF model, while the lower closed-control loop is composed of an Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller, a Neural Generalized Predictive (NGP) regulator and the IHAPF model. The purpose of the lower closed-control loop is to improve the performance of the upper closed-control loop. When compared to other control methods, the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control method has the advantages of a shorter response time, good online control and very effective harmonics reduction.

This paper proposes a novel scheme for the current controller for the grid-side converter (GSC) of permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbines to eliminate the high-order harmonics in the grid currents under grid voltage disturbances. The voltage unbalance and harmonics in three-phase systems cause grid current distortions. In order to mitigate the input current distortions, multi-loop current controllers are applied, where the positive-sequence component is regulated by proportional-integral (PI) controllers, and the negative-sequence and high-order harmonic components are regulated by proportional-resonance (PR) controllers. For extracting the positive/negative-sequence and harmonic components of the grid voltages and currents without a phase delay or magnitude reduction, composite observers are applied, which give faster and more precise estimation results. In addition, an active damping method using PR controllers to damp the grid current component of the resonant frequency is employed to improve the operating stability of VSCs with inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filters. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.

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%.

This paper proposes a new THD reduction algorithm for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) with offset voltage injection operated in nearest level modulation (NLM). High voltage direct current (HVDC) is actively introduced to the grid connection of offshore wind powers, and this paper deals with a voltage generation technique with an MMC for wind power generation. In the proposed method, third harmonic voltage is added for reducing the THD. The third harmonic voltage is adjusted so that each of the pole voltage magnitudes maintains a constant value with a maximum number of (N+1) levels, where N is the number of sub-modules per arm. By using the proposed method, the THD of the output voltage is mitigated without increasing the switching frequency. In addition, the proposed method has advantageous characteristics such as simple implementation. As a part of this study, this paper compares the THD results of the conventional method and the proposed method with offset voltage injection to reduce the THD. In this paper, simulations have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and the proposed method is implemented by a HILS (Hardware in the Loop Simulation) system. The obtained results show agreement with the simulation results. It is confirmed that the new scheme achieved the maximum level output voltage and improved the THD quality.

컴퓨터 부하는 현대사회 전반에 널리 사용되고 있다. 개인용 컴퓨터의 스위칭 모드 전원공급 장치는 고조파 전류를 발생시키는 주된 발생원이다. 고조파 전류는 컴퓨터 오동작등 많은 고조파 장해를 일으킨다. 직렬동조필터는 개인용 컴퓨터의 고조파 저감에 매우 효과적이다. 순간전압강하는 전압의 크기가 짧은 시간동안 감소하는 것으로, 순간전압의 변동원인은 주로 계통의 고장, 급격한 부하변동 등으로 발생한다. 컴퓨터 부하는 전압강하에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 개인용 컴퓨터 부하에 직렬동조필터를 적용하였을 때 고조파 저감효과를 IEC 61000-3-2로 평가하였고, 순간전압강하 영향을 ITI 곡선으로 심도있게 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 DC-DC Converter에서의 고조파로 인한 전자기적 잡음을 줄이기 위해 Random PWM을 적용한 Interleaved Buck Converter(IBC) 시스템을 제안한다. PWM 직류전원장치에서 스위칭 방식을 사용하는 경우 스위칭 손실 및 EMI 문제가 발생하기 때문에 많은 고조파를 포함하고 있어 선간 전압의 왜곡 등을 유발한다. 따라서 이에 대한 해결방법으로 PRBS를 이용한 IBC를 최초로 제안한다. 이 방식의 회로 구조는 2개의 능동형 스위치를 가지며 180도의 위상차를 갖는 2개의 PWM 신호를 이용하여 회로를 제어한다. IBC는 1세트의 스위치를 추가하기 때문에, 비용 측면 등에서는 불리 할 수 있으나 전력분배, 출력전류 리플 감소, 빠른 회로 반응속도, 수동소자크기 감소의 이점을 가진다. 본연구의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 PSIM 시뮬레이터를 이용하였고 Random PWM을 적용한 IBC 회로를 설계하여 기존의 PWM과 RPWM 방식만을 사용하는 Buck-converter 회로를 PSIM 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 결과를 확인하고 분석하였다.
