This paper deals with current harmonics and unbalanced source voltages compensation using combined filter system. Filter system consists of a series active filter and parallel passive filters. Passive filters were a traditional method to compensate current harmonics, so those were installed in power system widely. The active filter can be a substitution to improve filtering characteristics and complement drawbacks of the passive filter. The combined system of the active power filter and passive filter can has a better compensation performances and economical goods. The series type active power filter injects compensation voltage into power system by transformers. It's compensation principle is able to applicate for voltage compensation. A new control algorithm for series active filter to compensate current harmonics and unbalanced source voltages is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, a compensation voltage for harmonic reduction is calculated directly by instantaneous reactive power theory, and a compensation voltage for unbalanced source voltage is calculated in based on a synchronous reference frame. By experiments, we show validity of proposed compensation method.

Inductive power transfer (IPT) systems have become increasingly popular in recharging electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This paper presents an investigation of a series parallel/series (SP/S) resonant compensation network based IPT system for EVs with further optimized circular pads (CPs). After the further optimization, the magnetic coupling coefficient and power transfer capacity of the CPs are significantly improved. In this system, based on a series compensation network on the secondary side, the constant output voltage, utilizing a simple yet effective control method (fixed-frequency control), is realized for the receiving terminal at a settled relative position under different load conditions. In addition, with a SP compensation network on the primary side, zero voltage switching (ZVS) of the inverter is universally achieved. Simulations and experiments have been implemented to validate the favorable applicability of the modified optimization of CPs and the proposed SP/S IPT system.

This study discuss two subjects : maximization of transmission capability and regulation of voltages along line within the permissible bounds. Series and parallel line compensation methods have been applied for those purposes using capacitors and reactors. In this paper, the effect of series and shunt line compensation for symmetrical line is analyzed. The results obtained in this paper can be applied 765kV class EHV transmission system.

In this paper, we study a series active power filter to compensate current harmonics and unbalanced source voltages. Conventional control methods for compensating unbalanced source voltages use source voltages to calculate compensation voltages, and in addition use load voltages to regulate load voltages. But the proposed control method uses load voltage to compensate unbalanced source voltages and regulate load voltages. And we propose a control method to reduce current harmonics which can calculate compensation voltages directly from source currents and load voltages. By well-matched operation of two control methods, the series active power filter can compensate current harmonics, unbalanced source voltages, and regulate load voltages. We compose a combined system of the series active power filter and parallel passive filters to confirm a validity of proposed control methods. The results from experiments are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, 3-phase hybrid series active power filter for compensate current harmonics, voltage drop and unbalanced voltage in the network presented. The proposed system is implemented with a space vector modulation voltage source inverter and a high pass filter connected in parallel to the power system. Here the load is six-pulses thyristor rectifier. The phase angle detected in order to generation reference voltage at load terminal is synchronized with the positive sequence component of the unbalanced source by using symmetrical component transformation. The proposed system has an function harmonic isolation between source and load, voltage regulation, and unbalance compensation. Therefore, what the power system is improved quality, the source current is maintained as a nearly sinusoidal waveform and the load voltage is regulated with a rated voltage regardless of the source variation condition. To verify the validity of the proposed compensating system, the computer simulation and experiment are carried out.

Most of the user has been used linear load and non-linear load. The former is usually inductive load which is needed power factor compensation, the latter is power conversion system device. Actually two kinds of load is used together in the customer application. Generally capacitor is used for power-factor compensation of inductive load and reduction harmonics of non linear load with reactor. Non-linear load generates harmonic current for its energy conversion process. If harmonic current pass along the low impedance side of distribution system, the magnification of voltage and current is appeared by the series and parallel resonance. As a result, condenser has received a bitter electrical stress by the harmonic component. In this paper, we analyzed that how resonance is changed by the 5-th harmonic current pattern and proposed an alternative plan for non-magnification.

The power loss due to PV module mismatch in PV array system is analyzed and a mismatch compensation method is proposed. A dc-dc converter is used to compensate for series mismatch caused by a low current module in a string. The converter is controlled to maximize the array power output. The proposed compensation method was verified by PSpice simulation.

In this paper a practical series-parallel compensated UPS is suggested, which has high input power factor and sinusoidal output voltage regulation capability. Compared to conventional cascaded UPS, the size can be reduced significantly with high quality input and output waveforms. The front converter and the main inverter can be considered decoupled, hence the front converter and the main inverter can be designed independent of each other. In this paper, analysis and experimental results for an l KVA prototype are presented.

This paper propose a new form of UPQC (Unified Power Quality Compensator) to compensate the current and voltage quality problems of nonlinear loads. The conventional UPQC system consists of a series inverter, a parallel inverter, and a common DC link. A new type of UPQC proposed is a parallel compensator with SVC (Static Var Compensator) added to compensate for the wide compensation range and low DC link voltage. The parallel inverter compensates the reactive power generated by the nonlinear load, and the series inverter compensates the sag and swell generated at the power supply side.

This paper characterizes typical nonlinear loads into two types of harmonic sources, i.e., harmonic voltage source and harmonic current source. A series resonant filter is very effective in harmonic reduction for harmonic voltage source type of nonlinear loads such as personal computer loads with smoothing dc capacitors. A parallel resonant filter is suited for current source type of nonlinear loads such as ac drives with smoothing dc reactors. General compensation characteristics and comparison of series and parallel resonant filters are given analytically and experimentally. Compliance with IEC Std 1000-3-2 has been evaluated for limiting harmonic distortion.
