This paper presents a new compensating system, consisting of series and shunt active filters, for mitigating voltage and current disturbances. The shunt filter is used to compensate for unbalanced and distorted load currents. The series filter comprises two inverters, used to suppress voltage disturbances and handle source currents independently. This configuration is devised to reduce the overall cost of active compensators by using low-frequency high-current switches for the latter inverter. The filters are controlled separately using a novel control strategy. Since voltages at the point of common coupling contain interharmonics, conventional methods cannot be used for extracting voltage references. Therefore, voltage references are obtained from generated sinusoidal waveforms by a phase-locked loop. Current references are detected based on rotating frame vector mapping. Simulation results are presented to verify the system.

Recently, voltage sag from sudden increasing loads is also one of the major problems inside the utility network. In order to compensate the voltage sag problem, power compensation device systems could be a good solution method. In case of voltage sag, an energy source is needed to overcome the energy loss caused by the voltage sag. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is a very promising source of this energy due to its fast response of charging and discharging time. Before constructing the power electronic delivering system for the SMES, it is necessary to simulate the system to understand its behavior. Nowadays, a lot of devices have been developed to compensate voltage sag such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). In this paper, focus is given only on DVR system which will be simulated by using PSCAD/EMTDC software.

A three-phase three-level shunt active filter controlled by fuzzy logic current controller which can compensate current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads is presented. Three-level inverters and fuzzy controllers have been successfully employed in several power electronic applications these past years. To improve the conventional pwm controller performance, a new control scheme based on fuzzy current controller is adopted for three-level (NPC) shunt active filter. The scheme is designed to improve compensation capability of APF by adjusting the current error using a fuzzy rule. The inverter current reference signals required to compensate harmonic currents use the synchronous reference detection method. This technique is easy to implement and achieves good results. To maintain the dc voltage across capacitor constant and reduce inverter losses, a proportional integral voltage controller is used. The simulation of global system control and power circuits is performed using Matlab-Simulink and SimPowerSystem toolbox. The results obtained in transient and steady states under various operating conditions show the effectiveness of the proposed shunt active filter based on fuzzy current controller compared to the conventional scheme.

The electric traction load is quite differ from general power system load which is single-phase, high-speed heavy load receiving power from 3-phase power system and also has variable load characteristics over time and space. Therefore, there are inevitably power quality problems such as steady state or transient voltage drop, voltage imbalance and harmonic distortion. In addition, it is expected that transient voltage sag could affect the safety of feeding system. Thus, in this paper transient analysis and voltage sag compensation of AT(Auto Transformer) feeding system are studied. The fault study of traction network is analysed by using PSCAD/SMTDC simulation tool. In addition, application of DVR in electric traction system is proposed to compensate the voltage sag of traction network which is occurred by the fault of utility source. The results of fault study will be a useful research works for operation and setting of electric traction relay. Also, it can be shown that application of the DVR in electric system is very useful to compensate the voltage sag from the result of related simulated work. The results of study will be a useful research works for management and planning of power quality in electric traction system.

전력용 커패시터는 유도성 부하의 갖은 역율을 보상하기 위해 사용되지만, 전력변환장치 등에 의해 발생하는 고조파를 저감하기 위해 리액터와 함께 사용하기도 한다. 전기품질은 대부분이 전압품질에 관련된 것으로서 부하의 안정적인 동작에 매우 중요하지만, 순간적인 전압강하 또는 순간 전압 융기 발생시와 같이 전압의 크기가 일시적으로 변할 경우 커패시터에 전기적인 스트레스로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 순간적인 전압강하 및 순간 전압 융기 발생시 커패시터에서의 전압, 전류 및 용량의 변화를 해석하였으며, 커패시터에 리액터를 설치할 경우 순간적인 전압 강하시는 문제가 되지 않지만, 순간 전압 융기 발생 영역에서는 커패시터에 상당한 스트레스를 줄 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a study on the control of a power quality compensating equipment of electrical railway built in small-scaled to preliminary research. Because this compensating equipment is very complicated power electronics system, consisting of a scott transformer as a power source, four single phase inverters interconnected with DC-link capacitors and various electrical apparatuses, multiple controllers and control algorithms with high performance and reliability are needed. The major function of the compensating equipment is to manage reactive and active powers by using the four single phase inverters, so, the main control effort is focused on the power flow control which realized through the decoupling current control of the four inverters. Overall control system is designed with object oriented and analyzed on a Simulink window. The simulation results show that the design scheme is very effective for a complicated control system and the proposed controller has good performance.

DVR은 배전선로의 전압 변동을 보상하는 장치로 일반적으로 계통의 무효전력 보상, 역률개선 문제를 해결하는 장치와 결합하여 사용된다. 이러한 결합보상기기는 상대적으로 제어가 어렵고 부피가 커지는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 DVR의 전력위상제어(Power Angle Contorl)방법을 적용하여 부가적인 보상기기의 결합이 없이 DVR 단독으로 배전선로의 무효전력과 전압변동을 동시에 보상하기 위해 보상 전압의 최대 크기와, 위상, 보상 가능한 무효전력 및 유효전력에 대한 수학적 해석을 수행하였다. 유효전력을 배터리에 충전하고 전압 변동시 저장된 에너지를 공급하기 위한 제어알고리즘을 개발하고 Matlab 시뮬레이션을 통해 결과를 확인하였다.

The voltage variation problem at the point of common coupling (PCC) in a grid-connected wind turbine is investigated. The voltage variation problem is one of the most frequent power quality issues for the grid connection of large amounts of input power in a weak grid. Through the simplified modeling of the wind turbine and power network, the magnitude of PCC voltage variation is calculated by using the equivalent circuit parameters and output power of the wind turbine. The required amount of reactive power that can compensate the voltage variation is also presented analytically by using the vector diagram method. The proposed calculation and compensation method of the PCC voltage variation is verified by computer simulations and experiments.

Custom power devices such as dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) and DSTATCOM are used to improve the power quality in distribution systems. These devices require real power to compensate the deep voltage sag during sufficient time. An interline DVR (IDVR) consists of several DVRs in different feeders. In this paper, a neural network is proposed to control the IDVR performance to achieve optimal mitigation of voltage sags, swell, and unbalance, as well as improvement of dynamic performance. Three multilayer perceptron neural networks are used to identify and regulate the dynamics of the voltage on sensitive load. A backpropagation algorithm trains this type of network. The proposed controller provides optimal mitigation of voltage dynamic. Simulation is carried out by MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating that the proposed controller has fast response with lower total harmonic distortion.

This paper deals with single-phase unified power quality conditioner, which aims at the integration of series-active and shunt-active tilter. The series filter is used to compensate for the voltage distortions and the shunt filter is used to provide reactive power and counteract the harmonic current injected by the load. Also, the voltage of the DC link capacitor is controlled to a desired value by the shunt active filter. In order to verify the performance of the proposed conditioner, computer simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK were demonstrated. The results confirm that the proposed conditioner shows excellent performance to eliminate the harmonics and voltage flickers generated at the singe-phase nonlinear load.
