  • This paper proposes a control method for reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid current of three-phase grid-connected inverter systems when the grid voltage is distorted. The THD of the grid current caused by grid voltage harmonics is derived by considering the phase delay and magnitude attenuation due to the hardware low-pass filter (LPF). The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality theory is used in order to search more easily for the minimum point of the THD. Both the gain and angle of the compensation voltage at the minimum point of the THD of the grid current are derived with the variation of cut-off frequencies of the hardware LPF. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed control methods.

  • 본 논문은 인버터의 출력단과 계통사이에 비선형부하가 연결되어 있는 상황에서 계통 전류의 THD를 개선하기 위해 반복제어기를 적용한다. 반복제어기는 주기적인 오차를 모델링하고 미리 보상하여 정상상태시 오차를 줄이는 목적으로 설계된 제어기이기에 계통전류 THD 개선에 효과적이다. 본 논문은 인버터의 공급전력이 부하의 소비전력보다 큰 경우 또는 부하의 소비전력보다 작은 경우에도 계통의 전류 THD는 개선되도록 하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션의 결과를 통해 계통 전류의 THD 개선을 확인한다.

  • Objectives : Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a human pathogen. New antibacterial agents are needed to treat MRSA-related infections. This study investigated the antibacterial activity of EtOH 70% extracts ofTonghyeonipal-dan(THD) which prescription is composed of oriental medicine against MRSA.Methods : The antibacterial activity of THD was evaluated against MRSA strains by using the Disc diffusion method, broth microdilution method, Checkerboard dilution test, and Time-kill test; its mechanism of action was investigated by bacteriolysis, detergent or ATPase inhibitors were used.Results : The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of THD is 1,000~2,000 μg/mL against MRSA. In the checkerboard dilution test, fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of THD in combination with antibiotics indicated synergy or partial synergism againstS. aureus. Furthermore, a time-kill assay showed that the growth of the tasted bacteria was considerably inhibited after 24 h of treatment with the combination of THD with selected antibiotics. For measurement of cell membrane permeability, THD 500 μg/mL along with concentration of Triton X-100 (TX) and Tris-(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (TRIS) were used. In the other hand, N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodimide (DCCD) and Sodium azide (NaN3) were used as an inhibitor of ATPase. TX, TRIS, DCCD and NaN3 cooperation againstS. aureusshowed synergistic action.Conclusions : Accordingly, antimicrobial activity of THD was affected by cell membrane and inhibitor of ATPase were assessed. These results suggest that THD has antibacterial activity, and that THD extract offers great potential as a natural antibiotic against MRSA.

  • This paper describes a design method of LCL filter for grid-connected three-phase PWM inverter. First, by analyzing the ripple component of phase voltages and currents according to the PWM pattern of grid-connected three-phase inverter, the RMS value of the current ripple can be calculated. Then based on the analysis, the current THD in the inverter-side can be defined. After that by analyzing the dependency between the current THD of the system and the current ripple attenuation, the parameter of LCL filter can be designed. Finally, the described LCL filter design method is verified by showing a good agreement between the target current $THD_g$ and the actual one through the simulation and experiment.

  • This paper proposes a new THD reduction algorithm for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) with offset voltage injection operated in nearest level modulation (NLM). High voltage direct current (HVDC) is actively introduced to the grid connection of offshore wind powers, and this paper deals with a voltage generation technique with an MMC for wind power generation. In the proposed method, third harmonic voltage is added for reducing the THD. The third harmonic voltage is adjusted so that each of the pole voltage magnitudes maintains a constant value with a maximum number of (N+1) levels, where N is the number of sub-modules per arm. By using the proposed method, the THD of the output voltage is mitigated without increasing the switching frequency. In addition, the proposed method has advantageous characteristics such as simple implementation. As a part of this study, this paper compares the THD results of the conventional method and the proposed method with offset voltage injection to reduce the THD. In this paper, simulations have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and the proposed method is implemented by a HILS (Hardware in the Loop Simulation) system. The obtained results show agreement with the simulation results. It is confirmed that the new scheme achieved the maximum level output voltage and improved the THD quality.

In the CIPMSM, many design variables and their complicated combinations must be considered to reduce the back-emf THD, but it requires a lot of time and efforts. Therefore, this paper suggests the optimized solution with two simple design parameters using MINITAB software.
