This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...

We have previously reported on the hypersensitivity to layer thickness errors of DWDM and similar narrow band filter coatings. We further simulated how well certain natural error compensation effects work to mitigate the effects of these errors. We here refine the model to even better simulate what is likely to occur in actual practice. We show examples of the effects of various types and level...

This work considers the implementation of recursive identification algorithms based on hyperstability concepts with polyphase structures. It is shown that the SPR condition required for convergence of these schemes can always be met by using a sufficiently high polyphase expansion factor M . For a given M , the degree of persistent excitation required for parameter convergence is obtained. When...

We consider adaptive identification algorithms based on hyperstability concepts with polyphase structures. The SPR condition required for convergence of these schemes can be always met by using a sufficiently high polyphase expansion factor M: The degree of persistent excitation required for parameter convergence is obtained. If some a priori knowledge about the system to identify is available,...

Microwave photonic filters with arbitrary phase response can be achieved by merging high-repetition-rate electro-optic frequency comb technology with line-by-line pulse shaping. When arranged in an interferometric configuration, the filter features a number of programmable complex-coefficient taps equal to the number of available comb lines. In this work, we use an ultrabroadband comb generator...

The use of a volume holographic filter as collector element in a confocal system imaging through scattering (turbid) material is described. We show that the penetration depth of the volume holographic system is de-coupled from the scatter noise discrimination properties, and is potentially more advantageous than the traditional confocal microscope. Since the volume-holographic filter is a match...

An interrogation technique for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors with dynamic temperature compensation using a single-multiple-single-mode (SMS) fiber filter as a temperature compensating element is presented. Experimental results show that this technique offers a resolution of better than 3.4 muepsilon for strain measurements in the range from 0 to 1667 muepsilon, and the temperature in...

Conventional hysteresis current controllers have the disadvantage of a variable switching frequency. This paper proposes a fuzzy hysteresis band technique for the current control for shunt active power filter (SAPF). An active harmonic filter is used to eliminate current harmonics caused by nonlinear loads. The current control strategy utilizes using a selective Filter STF method to improve pow...

Abstract. The paper presents a compensating system for the harmonics and the reactive power using active power filter in three-phase and four-wire systems. The conventional active power filters have been designed based on the p-q theory. However, these types of the filter can only compensate for the reactive power for the load and the detection result is not accurate if the three-phase voltage ...
