최근 들어 태양광, 풍력발전 등과 같은 분산전원이 배전계통 곳곳에 연계됨에 따라 전기품질이 저하될 것이라는 우려가 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 가장 높은 보급률을 보이고 있는 저용량 태양광 발전기가 설치된 수용가를 대상으로 전기품질을 측정하고 '분산형 전원 배전계통연계 기술기준'의 전력품질 만족여부를 분석하였다. 또한 기술기준에서 정한 TDD뿐만 아니라 THD까지 측정하여 해당 지수들의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 저용량 태양광 발전기가 저압에 연계되었을 경우 Inverter 제작기술의 발달로 전기품질에 큰 영향을 미치지는 않는 것으로 나타났으며 THD보다는 TDD가 분산전원 설치자 측면에서 좀더 여유를 제공함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 3-레벨 ANPC 방식을 적용하여 하이브리드 자동차에 장착된 IPMSM을 구동하는 인버터를 제안하였다. 3-레벨 ANPC 인버터는 전력 반도체 스위치의 열 분배에 용이하다. 또한 3-레벨 인버터의 경우 dv/dt가 작기 때문에 THD를 감소시켜 출력 필터의 부피와 EMI를 저감 시킬 수 있다. 따라서 자동차의 신뢰성과 안전성을 높일 수 있다. 제안된 논문에서는 2-레벨 인버터와 3-레벨 ANPC 인버터 출력 특성을 분석하고, 스위치 간 온도 특성 분석 및 THD를 시뮬레이션 통하여 비교하였다.

With the advent of mobile phone, Digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) service is to be realized for multimedia data communication. For an acoustic part, a smaller and lighter microspeaker is also soon to be realized as an MP3 song player and a speakerphone. Sound quality in the microspeaker is becoming more important in mobile phones. It is evaluated by total harmonic distortion (THD). THD is the proportion of higher order frequencies output response to sinusoidal input signal. It is affected by uneven magnetic distribution and nonlinear response of diaphragm. In this paper, harmonic distortion is analyzed by considering magnetic and mechanical coupling effects. Simulated results of THD are compared with experimental data. Results show that THD in lower frequency range is higher due to high displace on voice coil and high mechanical response of high order frequency.

Telecom supplies need to conform to low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and high Power Factor (PF) as per IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519-1992 standards. These high rating power supplies use a three phase utility in which low THD and high PF are realized via various passive and active wave shaping schemes. In this paper, a new design for three phase telecom power supplies is presented with circuit parameter values optimized for high performance in terms of a low THD, high PF, low ripple and high line and load regulation using a suitable combination of various strategies. The performance of the power supply is validated by extensive simulations.

In this paper, the characteristics of the proposed converter are show by simulation. As a result, the power factor is improved and the results show the usefulness of the proposed circuit. To improve the hard switching at turn-off of the basic circuit, the circuit using a current resonant switch is proposed. In the proposed circuit, THD of the input current is reduced to 1.8 of the basic circuit. The mechanism of the THD reduction is clarified. That is because the on period becomes shorter at the peak of the source voltage. Using the simulation, the characteristics of the output voltage, current flowing the switch, and THD of the input current are investigated by changing the resonant circuit parameters. Criteria for choosing resonant parameters of smaller THD are obtained.

This paper presents a method for reducing the Total Harmonic Distortion(THD) of line-line back_EMF of the IPMSM with distributed winding under the no-load condition. Firstly, the specific harmonic components of line-line back EMF are reduced considering with winding factor. Secondly, THD of line-line back EMF is minimized according to change of pole angle using by Space harmonic Analysis. Finally, the optimal design for minimizing the THD is conducted using response surface methodology with finite element analysis. The validity of the design method dealt with in this paper is demonstrated by comparison between the THD of optimal model and initial model.

This paper deals with a Z-source active power filter(Z-AFU) for mitigation voltage THD(total harmonic distortion) due to voltage harmonic propagation(amplification) in 6.6kv power distribution system. Bus voltage harmonic signal is detected by 60Hz butterworth BPF(band pass filter). As an ESS(energy storage system) of the proposed system, PEM fuel cells(Ballard NEXA, 1.2kw) is employed. Test results based on PSIM(power electronics simulation tool) validate the proposed approach.

A new switching mode has been proposed to obtain high power factor and low THD in single stage AC-DC converter. The conventional voltage mode control in critical conduction mode distorts input current shape with poor THD in flyback topology. Once TRIAC dimmer is connected, visible flicker in the LED lamp is easily detected due to a lack of TRAIC holding current near the input voltage zero cross. The newly proposed method can shape the input current by providing a desired reference voltage so that low THD is obtained by ideal sinusoidal input current in case of no dimmer connection and flat input current performs good TRIAC dimmer compatibility in phase-cut dimming condition. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, theoretical analysis and experimental result from 8W dimmable LED lighting system are presented.

This paper presents a simple approach for the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) of multilevel inverter based on the transistor-clamped H-bridge (TCHB) family. The SHE modulation is derived from the sinusoidal voltage-angle equal criteria corresponding to the optimized switching angles. The switching angles are computed offline by solving transcendental non-linear equations characterizing the harmonic contents using the Newton-Raphson method to produce an optimum stepped output. Simulation and experimental tests are conducted for verification of the analytical solutions. An Altera DE2 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board is used as the digital controller device in order to verify the proposed SHE modulation in real-time applications. An analysis of the voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) has been obtained for multiple output voltage cases. In terms of the THD, the results showed that the higher the number of output levels, the lower the THD due to an increase number of harmonic orders being eliminated.

This paper presents the design of closed loop controllers operating a single-phase AC-DC three-level converter for improving power quality at AC mains. Closed loop inhibits outer voltage controller and inner current controller. Simulations of three level converter with three different voltage and current controller combinations such as PI-Hysteresis, Fuzzy-Hysteresis and Fuzzy tuned PI-Hysteresis are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. Performance parameters such as input power factor and source current total harmonic distortion (THD) are considered for comparison of the three controller combinations. The fuzzy-tuned PI voltage controller with hysteresis current controller combination provides a better result, with a source-current THD of 0.93% and unity power factor without any source side filter for the three level converter. For load variations of 25% to 100%, a THD of less than 5% is obtained with a maximum value of only 1.67%. Finally, the fuzzy-tuned PI voltage with hysteresis controller combination is implemented in a Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX25 FPGA board for experimental validation of power quality enhancement. A prototype 100 W, 0-24-48 V as output converter is considered for the testing of controller performance. A source-current THD of 1.351% is obtained in the experimental study with a power factor near unity. For load variations of 25% to 100%, the THD is found to be less than 5%, with a maximum value of only 2.698% in the experimental setup which matches with the simulation results.
