To reduce the high-order harmonics produced by the high-power pulse width modulated (PWM) converters, selective harmonic elimination (SHE) scheme is commonly used due to its superior harmonic performance at low switching frequency. This Project proposes an active compensation method through the PWM control of SHE phase angle. An application example on a high-power PWM current-source rectifier (...

With the development of modern industrial technology a large number of non-linear loads are used in power system, which causes harmonic distortion in the power system. At the same time the power quality and safe operation becomes inferior. Therefore mitigation of harmonics is very necessary under the situation. This paper presents the design of two passive filters to reduce the current harmonic...

The nonlinear load such as UPS, fan controller, mobile charger is distorting the supply current waveform. This current harmonics derates the power system equipment. To avoid this current harmonics, filters namely passive filter / active filter /hybrid filters are introduced in the supply line. In this paper the overall view of the performance of the various filters are studied and the performan...

Prominent harmonics in IT offices are essentially due to the presence of SMPS in computers large numbers. In a three-phase, fourwire system, current harmonics leads to flow zero sequence current in neutral conductor, increased losses in motors, false tripping of circuit breakers. In this paper, VSI is designed as a compensator based instantaneous reactive power theory. And is used to mitigate t...

The switching signal generation for filter is fromhysteresis current controller techniques. With the all these element shunt active power filter reduce the total harmonic distortion. Thispaper represe...

Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) have drawn increasing attention in numerous applications, especially in drives, distributed energy resources area, utility etc. MLIs have the ability to synthesize a near sinusoidal output voltage wave with minimal Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in low frequency switching. Even though they offer lower THD, the presence of lower order harmonics is objectionable and h...

Current spectrums of a high power induction machine was calculated for the cases of full symmetry, static and dynamic eccentricity. The calculations involve integration of 93 electrical plus four mechanical ordinary differential equations. Electrical equations account for variable inductances affected by slotting and eccentricities. The calculations were followed by Fourier analysis of the stat...

This paper studies a particular single-stage power-factor-correction (PFC) switching regulator employing a discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM) boost-input cell and a continuous-current-mode (CCM) forward output cell. Although this single-stage PFC regulator can provide a reasonably high power factor when its PFC stage is operating in discontinuous mode, substantial reduction in line-current har...

This research proposes a shunt active power filter (SAPF) for harmonics mitigation in order to improve power quality of the electrical network. The reference harmonic current extraction technique used was based on DQ0 power theory under unbalanced non-linear loads conditions for four wire-installed systems. The DC-link voltage plays an important role in SAPF design to guarantee both steady high...
