A 24 pulse current source inverter for reducing the harmonics in output currents is presented in this paper. The proposed system operates a 24 pulse inverter by adding only tap changing circuit which consists of several taps and static switching elements to the 12 pulse inverter, which is the double connected 3 phase 6 pulse inverter with an auto transfomer. Also to optimize the effectiveness of the harmonic reduction, the optimum turn ratio and tap changing control angle of auto transfomer are decided by digital simulation and its validity is verified with experiment. And under the optimum condition, it is clarified that the harmonics components involved in the output current of the proposed inverter are nearly equal to those of the conventional 24 pulse inverter.

This paper presents the result of survey of case study for Harmonics in electrical Installations of buildings. Recently, many power electronic equipments(power converter, computers, air conditioners electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps and so on) are used in office buildings, and harmonic current from them influence the other equipments in a distribution line. Notably, voltage distortion or voltage harmonics may approach or exceed is allowable level in power distribution system. Individual electric power consumers and end-users and responsible for reducing current harmonics while companies or utilities are responsible for reducing voltage harmonics at the point of common coupling in distribution system. As for harmonics, which one of the electric power qualities, it becomes important to obtain harmonic voltage/current distribution of the power system precisely because the use of power electronic apparatus in increasing. However, there are some difficulties on evaluating the measured data in comparison with the simulated result. The primary cause was indentitied with the resonance of harmonics form many sources. To suppress harmonics in electrical installations of buildings, one of many methods suggest that resonance frequencies are controlled by modulating the capacities of high-voltage customer's capacitors.

Recently many kinds of power transducers have been commercially used to increase the energy efficiency. However, those devices unavoidably produce the harmonics having an integral frequency of fundamental waves. The harmonics should be removed since they have negative effects on the other devices based on fundamental sine waves. As the current information technology makes the PCs more widespread, it is essential to study the harmonics that they produce. In this paper the harmonic generation of a PC has been measured and analyzed. Additionally, the most efficient way of reducing the harmonics has been proposed.

In this paper, a new mehtod of reducing harmonics that involved in input AC line currents or in output DC voltage of the converter system is presented. which is due mainly to the quipment of 2-3 switching taps on interphase reactor. In case that the 3 tap method is applicable to conventional 12 pulse converter, it could not bring to an effect of reducing harmonics under firing angle 15\ulcorner To solve these problems, 24 pulse or 36 pulse converter is controlled by microprocessor. The former is performed in 2 tap method when \ulcorneris less than 15\ulcorner the latter in 3 tap method when it is more then 15\ulcorner Therefore the originality of this paper liea in microprocessor based equipment of the 2-3 switching taps on interphase reactor. I applied this method to the 12 pulse converter, and proved validity of that theoretically and experimentally.

In this paper, a new method for reducing harmonics in input AC line currents of converter is presented, which is due mainly to the equipment of 2-4 switching taps on interphase reactor. When this method is applicable to conventional 12 pulse converter, the 24 pulse converter, the 24 pulse or 48 pulse converter is controlled by firing angles. The former is performe in 2 tap method when less than 15 degrees, and the letter in 4tap method when more than 15 degrees. Therefore, the proposed method has the advantages of reducing harmonics in full range of control angle and comparison with the conventional 3 tap method. We proved the validity of that theoretically and experimentally.

Recently, the battery charging technology and reducing technology of harmonics on AC input line are rising importantly according to increasing electrical facilities that it has been replaced battery with emergency power. In this study, I proposed that an auto-charging circuit of battery has low cost with simple-construction circuit, relative, harmonics reduction with diode tap-change method, high reliability of system for using characteristics of thyristor switching. In case of this circuit, convenience and reliability of maintenance of battery power units were more improved. 1 think that it is resulted in effect of prevention to shortening of battery life from over-charging and over-discharging and decrease of harmonics obstacle on AC input line.

Capacitor is basically used for the power-factor compensation and sometimes as the passive filter to reduce harmonics of nonlinear load. Since the impedance of capacitor is inversely proportional to the frequency. The harmonic current may result in the problems of voltage distortion and resonance. Capacitor has easily fall under by two harmonic components, a nonlinear load and a distorted utility voltage. The amplified harmonic current and voltage may damage power capacitor. Hence the pre-investigation of harmonic is needed before designing and application the power factor for reducing fault rate. In this paper, we analyzed that voltage and current with harmonics components act on the capacitor under the resonance condition. we concluded that both voltage and current harmonics have an bad effect on the capacitor and current harmonics is a bitter rather than effect by voltage harmonics.

This paper concerns the development of the transformer that can reduce harmonics supplied to the system if the output of photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic system is grid-connected, and suggests that problems of harmonics and power factor degradation in the grid-connected photovoltaic system can be improved. In this study, the burden of increasing the investment in new facilities and securing their installation space due to harmonics has been substantially eased through the development of a hybrid transformer possessing unbalanced function and harmonics reduction function using zig-zag coils, and most of all, it is expected that the development of such high efficiency hybrid transformer possessing functions of transformation and reducing harmonics can improve the power quality as well as prevent damages caused by harmonics, leading to suppress unnecessary loss of electric power and thereby contribute to energy savings.

In this paper, we persents a new PAM method without the input transformer for reducing harmonics in input AC line currents of converter. This system can reduce the harmonics like conventional 12-pulse converter. the dual bridge circuits are controlled with the shifted firing angle and connected 2 tap interphase reactor. the input current using 2 tap changing on interphase reactor is controlled with the different two values in order to make the input current waveform 12 pulses. The chracteristics of this system were confirmed through the computer simulation and the experiments.
