This paper discusses the design of a novel synchronous reference frame (SRF) method that can extract the reference compensating current for single-phase shunt active power filters (APFs). Unlike previous SRF studies, the proposed method has an innovative feature that does not require a fictitious current signal. Other key features of the proposed strategy include frequency-independent operation, accurate reference current extraction, and relatively fast transient response. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by conducting a detailed mathematical analysis. Results of the analysis confirm the superior performance of the suggested approach. Theoretical evaluations are confirmed by the experimental results.

In this paper, we propose a guidance filter to estimate line of sight rate with strapdown seeker measurements and INS(Inertial Navigation System) information. The measurements of proposed guidance filter consisted of the LOS(Line of Sight) and relative position that can be calculated with the seeker's measurements, INS information and known target position, also the filter is based on an asynchronous filter to use outputs of the two sensors that are out of synchronous and period. Through the proposed filter, we can reduce the effect on parasitic loop that can be caused by using large time delay seeker and improve the estimation performance.

We investigated the harmonic voltages generated by a synchronous machine adding d-axis and q-axis harmonic field windings to reduce the harmonics in a power line. First, electronic circuits such as a frequency multiplier, band-pass filter, and phase shifter were newly designed and made to carry out the experiment. Next, an experimental circuit, for which an AC voltage of frequency 6f synchronized to the power line voltage of frequency f could be obtained, was constructed to examine the generation of harmonic voltage in more detail. Finally, an experiment involving the generation of harmonic voltage was performed using an experimental synchronous generator with harmonic windings in the d-axis and q-axis. In this paper, the power spectrum and the waveforms of the harmonic voltages in the armature winding are presented. Moreover, the values calculated from theoretical expressions of harmonic voltages in armature winding are compared with the values obtained by the experiment.

Harmonics and fundamental reactive current of nonlinear loads in serious unbalanced power condition, are compensated by current synchronous detection(CSD) theory which is also acceptable for single phase power system. But, the CSD theory is not suitable any more, in case of controlled independently harmonics and reactive component. Therefore, a new algorithm, the expanded current synchronous detection(ECSD) theory for a three phase active power filter based on decomposition of fundamental reactive, distorted components, is proposed in this paper. The proposed ECSD theory is experimented and tested comparison with a few power theories under asymmetrical condition in power system.

This paper proposes a novel current compensation technique that can eliminate the harmonic currents included in line currents without computation of harmonic current components. A current controller with fast dynamics for an active filter is described. Harmonic currents are directly controlled without the need for sensing and computing the harmonic current of the load current, thus simplifying the control system. Current compensation is done in the time domain, allowing a fast time response. The DC voltage control loop keeps the voltage across the DC capacitor constant. High power factor control by an active filter is described. All control functions are implemented in software using a single-chip microcontroller, thus simplifying the control circuit. Any current-controlled synchronous rectifier can be used as a shunt active filter through only the simple modification of the software and the addition of current sensors. It is shown through experimental results that the proposed controller gives good performance for the shunt active filter.

In this paper, EMI measurement, the STGU simulation being conducted, filter design, its characteristics, and its implementation to the PCB, and finally test results are discussed. When the low pass filter was implemented within the STGU, the power of EMI decreased more than 20dBm. Finally, when TE and MTIE, two important quality measure in synchronous reference clock, was assessed, ITU-T G813 requirement was satisfied. EMI(Electromagnetic Interface) is a measure of electomagnetic radiation from equipment in the range of 10KHz to 3GHz, and can cause unexpected reactions of electronics/electrical equipment. In this study, for safe and stable communication operation, a STGU (System Timing Generation Unit), which is a 2.5G SDH System and a major EMI source, was employed to simulate electromagnetic interface. Using Open-Site test, the power of fundamental frequency of EMI of interest and its harmonics were measured. Also, a low pass filter at cut-off frequency of 2GHz was specifically designed for this study to minimize the effect of EMI between electronic components.

In this paper, a 3phase-3wire series active power filter compensating current harmonics and unbalanced source voltages is presented. The system is composed of series active power filter and shunt passive filters that are tuned 5th and 7th harmonics. In this system, series active power filter improves harmonic compensation characteristics of the shunt passive filters and compensates the unbalanced source voltages. In the proposed algorithm, compensation voltage for harmonic reduction is calculated by a performance function, and compensation voltage for the unbalanced source voltage is calculated in based on the synchronous reference frame. Some results obtained from the experimental model using the proposed method are presented to demonstrate and confirm its validity.

This paper proposes a dead time compensation method for an AC motor drive using phase current polarity information which is detected based on a digital programmable low-pass filter (PLPF). The polarity detection using the PLPF is an alternative solution of a conventional method which uses a general low-pass filter (LPF) and hysteresis bands in order to avoid jittering due to noises. The PLPF not only adjusts its cutoff frequency according to the synchronous frequency of AC motors but also eliminates a gain attenuation and phase delay which are main problems of the general LPF. Through the PLPF, a fundamental component signal without gain and phase distortions is extracted from the measured raw current signal with noise. By use of the fundamental component, the polarity of current is effectively detected by reducing the hysteresis band. Finally, the proposed method compensates the dead time effects by adding or subtracting average voltage value to voltage references of the controller according to the detected current polarity information. The proposed compensation method is experimentally verified by compared with the conventional method.

This paper presents a new simplified harmonics extraction algorithm based on the synchronous reference frame (SRF) for an indirect current controlled (ICC) three-level neutral point diode clamped (NPC) inverter-based shunt active power filter (SAPF). The shunt APF is widely accepted as one of the most effective current harmonics mitigation tools due to its superior adaptability in dynamic state conditions. In its controller, the SRF algorithm which is derived based on the direct-quadrature (DQ) theory has played a significant role as a harmonics extraction algorithm due to its simple implementation features. However, it suffers from significant delays due to its dependency on a numerical filter and unnecessary computation workloads. Moreover, the algorithm is mostly implemented for the direct current controlled (DCC) based SAPF which operates based on a non-sinusoidal reference current. This degrades the mitigation performances since the DCC based operation does not possess exact information on the actual source current which suffers from switching ripples problems. Therefore, three major improvements are introduced which include the development of a mathematical based fundamental component identifier to replace the numerical filter, the removal of redundant features, and the generation of a sinusoidal reference current. The proposed algorithm is developed and evaluated in MATLAB / Simulink. A laboratory prototype utilizing a TMS320F28335 digital signal processor (DSP) is also implemented to validate effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Both simulation and experimental results are presented. They show significant improvements in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) and dynamic response when compared to a conventional SRF algorithm.

Adaptive back stepping control technique may provide robust control characteristics under parameter perturbation caused by changing external condition. In order to synthesize a high-precision velocity controller for IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) using this method, the period of control loop should be very small. However, because of the resolution of the encoder for speed measurement, control cycle is limited, which makes it difficult to improve the performance of the controller. This paper proposes a velocity controller design method based on nonlinear adaptive back-stepping method to accomplish fast and accurate performance. Here, an EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) method is incorporated for the estimation of the motor speed into the design of a speed controller using adapted back-stepping control technique. The performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated through simulation using PSIM.
