The conventional SVPWM algorithm gives good performance for control of induction motor drive, but it produces more acoustical noise resulting in increased total harmonics distortion. The random pulse width modulation (RPWM) techniques has become an established means for mitigation of undesirable side effects in PWM converters, the use of voltage source inverters in adjustable speed ac drives in...

This paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an RL in series with an IGBT based voltage source converter. The filter is assumed...

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 mit...

The quality of voltage and current delivered by the power utilities has become a major concern of the modern industries. These power quality problems are voltage sag and harmonic which can cause problems to the industries ranging from malfunctioning of equipments to complete plant shutdowns. In this paper, the proposed Quality Power Provider (QPP) modeled by simulation is able to compensate the...

An electric multiple unit (EMU) high-speed train is the dynamic load that degrades power quality in an railway system. Therefore, a improvement system using active filter (APF) must be considered. Due to oscillating current condition, fast and accurate harmonic current-tracking performance required. As such, this paper proposes design of model predictive control (MPC) since minimization cost fu...

nowadays with increasing use of numerous nonlinear loads, voltage and current harmonics in power systems are one of the most important problems power engineers encounter. many of these nonlinear loads, because of their dynamic natures, inject time-varying harmonics into power system. common techniques applied for harmonics measurement and assessment such as fft have significant errors in presen...

Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...
