Distortion of sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms caused by harmonics is one of the major power quality concerns in electric power industry. Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to improve the management of harmonic distortions in power systems. Standards for harmonic control have been established. Instruments for harmonic measurements are widely available. The area of power...

For most conventional analyses, the power system is essentially modeled as a linear system with passive elements excited by constantmagnitude and constantfrequency sinusoidal voltage sources. However, with the widespread proliferation of power electronics loads nowadays, significant amounts of harmonic currents are being injected into power systems. Harmonic currents not only disturb loads that...

A distortion analysis based on the large signal behavior of the basic switched-current memory cell is presented. In the first part, based on a closed form solution of the step response, distortion due to the settling error is addressed. In the second part, distortion caused by clockfeedthrough is analysed. The solutions are compared with simulated and/or measured results. Furthermore, harmonic ...

This paper describes two harmonic detection methods used in industrial shunt Active Filters. The methods are overall harmonic compensation and selective harmonic compensation. Both methods are described and analyzed in the paper together with several practical design steps for Adjustable Speed Drives applications. The methods are compared in the case of voltage unbalance and pre-distortion, com...

We obtain coefficient conditions, distortion bounds, extreme points, convex combination for the above class of harmonic multivalent fu...

To achieve maximum possible power factor and by keeping total harmonic distortion (THD) within the acceptable limit. A new control algorithm of shunt active power filter under distorted grid voltage and unbalanced supply conditions is proposed. A new control algorithm renders the optimal compromise between harmonic free (HF) and unity power factor (UPF) by keeping the total harmonic distortion ...

MultiLevel Inverter (MLI) is used in applications that need high voltage and high current especially for Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers. The topologies of multilevel inverter have several advantages such as lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), lower ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) generation and high output voltage. The main feature of Modular Structured Multilevel Inv...

This Paper aims to extend the knowledge about the performance of different cascaded multilevel inverter through harmonic analysis. Large electric drives and utility require advanced power electronics converter to meet high power demands. As a result, multilevel power converter structure has been introduced as an alternative in high power and medium voltage situations. A multilevel converter not...

This paper presents a method for combining a particle swarm optimization with nonlinear time-varying evolution and orthogonal arrays (PSO-NTVEOA) in the planning of harmonic filters for the high speed railway traction system of Distributed Generation (DG) system with specially connected transformers in unbalanced three-phase power systems. The objective is to minimize the cost of the filter, th...

This paper presents a new method for robust and accurate fundamental frequency (F0) estimation in the presence of background noise and spectral distortion. Degree of dominance and dominance spectrum are defined based on instantaneous frequencies. The degree of dominance allows one to evaluate the magnitude of individual harmonic components of the speech signals relative to background noise whil...
