FACTS technology is developed into the sophisticated system technology which combines conventional power system technology with power electronics, micro-process control, and information technology. Its objectives are achieving enhancement of the power system flexibility and maximum utilization of the power transfer capability through improvements of the system reliability, controllability, and efficiency[1]. As a series and shunt compensator, UPFC consists of two inverters with common dc link capacitor bank. It controls the magnitude of shunt bus voltage and real and reactive power flow of transmission line[2]. In this paper, we present the design and control algorithm of UPFC simulator for KERI simulator. As a control algorithm is implemented by digital controller, we consider sample-and-hold of signals In this simulation, we use EMTDC/PSCAD V3.0 software which can simulate instantaneous voltage and current.

This research article presents a novel approach based on an instantaneous active and reactive power component (p-q) theory for generating reference currents for shunt active filter (SHAF). Three-phase reference current waveforms generated by proposed scheme are tracked by the three-phase voltage source converter in a hysteresis band control scheme. The performance of the SHAF using the p-q control strategy has been evaluated under various source conditions. The performance of the proposed control strategy has been evaluated in terms of harmonic mitigation and DC link voltage regulation. In order to maintain DC link voltage constant and to generate the compensating reference currents, we have developed Fuzzy logic controller with different (Trapezoidal, Triangular and Gaussian) fuzzy M.F.s. The proposed SHAF with different fuzzy M.F.s is able to eliminate the uncertainty in the system and SHAF gains outstanding compensation abilities. The detailed simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK software are presented to support the feasibility of proposed control strategy. To validate the proposed approach, the system is also implemented on a real time digital simulator and adequate results are reported for its verifications.

This paper describes a PMSM control algorithm for realizing a low-cost motor drive system using a general purpose microcontroller. The proposed sensorless algorithm consists of the current observer and the sensorless scheme based on instantaneous reactive power. Also the control board system is not the high-cost DSP(digital signal processor) system but the general purpose microcontroller and it allows to reduce the unit cost of the motor system. However the clock frequency of the proposed microcontroller is one-fifths for the clock frequency of the DSP. In addition, the switching frequency must be selected as the lower frequency because of complex mathematic modeling of the sensorless algorithm. the low switching frequency augments the noise of the motor and might make accurate speed control impossible. Thus this paper proposes the optimization method to supplement the drawback of the general purpose microcontroller and the usefulness of the proposed method is verified through the experiment.

This paper examines the application of high voltage static var compensator(SVC) with cascade multilevel inverter which employs H-bridge inverter(HBI). A new switching scheme is developed for the SVC system. To improve the unbalanced problem of the DC capacitor voltages, the rotated switching scheme of fundamental frequency is newly used. The optimized fundamental switching pattern with low switching frequency is adapted to be suitable for high application. The selective harmonic elimination method(SHEM) allows to keep the total harmonic distortion(THD) low in the output voltage of multilevel inverter. The SVC system is modeled using the d-q transform which calculates the instantaneous reactive power. This model is used to design a controller and analyze the SVC system. Simulated and experimental results are also presented and discussed to validate the proposed schemes.

In this paper, a maximum efficiency control technique of real-time processing in which parameter variation is compensated in vector control of an induction motors(I.M.) is proposed. Based on equivalent model of I.M., a loss minimization factor(LMF) with the variations of speed is derived. To solve problem of inaccuracy of LMF curves due to machine parameter variation, rotor resistance estimation is performed by using instantaneous reactive power. The estimated rotor resistance values are applied to the maximum efficiency control with a LMF.

In this study, the speed sensorless vector control system with the magnetizing inductance compensation structure is presented. The estimations of the rotor speed and the magnetizing inductance using the terminal voltages and currents are performed with the reduced order Gopinath flux observer. The rotor speed is estimated by the torque producing current which is derived from the estimated value of the rotor flux and the measured stator currents. In order to compensate the variation of the magnetizing inductance under the saturated conditions, we also established the compensation scheme which is made with the instantaneous reactive power. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

Speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability, and increase the cost of motor. Various control algorithms have been proposed for the elimination of speed senor. This paper compares several schemes of MRAC for field-oriented control of induction motor without speed and flux sensors. These schemes are based on observing the fluxes, the counter EMF, and the instantaneous reactive power of motor. A review of these schemes of MRAC is presented. Then sensorless drives using each estimation method are compared through simulation and experiment.

In this paper, the new control algorithm is proposed that compensates instantaneously the active and reactive components of the input currents by the synchronous d,q axis conversion of a single-phase current in controlling the single-phase AC/DC parallel converters for a high speed train. The leakage inductance of a transformer was used as a boost inductance and the ripple of a transformer's primary current was reduced considerably by the parallel operation of the two converters with a proper switching phase-shift. The stable and fast control response characteristic is certificated by a simulation.
