Due to the ever-increasing in non linear loads and the worldwide trend to establish smart grids, harmonic level in the electricity grids is significantly increased. In addition to their impact on power quality, harmonic current can have a devastating effect on the operation of over current relays as they are designed to operate efficiently at the fundamental frequency. The distorted waveform wi...

Harmonic distortion is a form of electrical noise. It is a superposition of signals, which are of multiples of fundamental frequency. Proliferation of large power electronic systems results in increased harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion results in reduction of power quality and system stability. This paper presents fuzzy control applicable for active power filter for three-phase systems,...

in this research, the effect of friction between the liquid metal and the sand mould wall and the effect of passage of liquid through a vertical bend and through a ceramic filter on the fluid flow and the melt velocity has been studied by measuring the velocity of the melt and direct observation of the liquid flow through the different parts of a naturally-pressurized running system. the fricti...

An active power filter implemented with a four-leg voltage-source inverter using a predictive control scheme is presented. The use of a four-leg voltagesource inverter allows the compensation of current harmonic components, as well as unbalanced current generated by single-phase nonlinear loads. A detailed yet simple mathematical model of the active power filter, including the effect of the equ...

In this work, we propose a distributed adaptive high-gain extended Kalman filtering approach for nonlinear systems. Specifically, we consider a class of nonlinear systems that are composed of several subsystems interacting with each other via their states. In the proposed approach, an adaptive high-gain extended Kalman filter is designed for each subsystem. The distributed Kalman filters commun...

-A three-phase hybrid series power filter is constituted by a series active filter and a passive filter connected in parallel with the load. The control strategy is based on the “dual formulation of the electric power vectorial theory”. The proposed algorithm eliminates the current harmonics of supply. It also improves the power factor and harmonic compensation features of the associated passiv...

Due to the advancement in power electronic equipments and increase in the usage of non-linear loads in power distribution system, the undesirable harmonics are introduced that degrade the quality of power. Presence of harmonics are always detrimental to power system that results in irreversible failure of electrical components, sometimes apart from frequently known heating issues in it. There a...

This paper first presents a simple control technique for active filters to compensate current harmonics and reactive power of nonlinear loads. This method is usable for both single –phase and three –phase systems. Then a new method for load balancing and reactive power compensation for unbalanced sinusoidal load currents is presented. Finally by combination of two methods an active filter contr...

This paper describes how to calculate the different harmonic sequences that should be filtered with a shunt selective active filter, for two control alternatives: load current measurement or line current measurement. These results are then generalized for shunt hybrid selective filters. Passive parameters are chosen considering the resonances with the electric system that appear. Design basis a...

A feedforward control algorithm for active noise control based on the recursive estimation of a generalized finite impulse response (FIR) filter is presented in this paper. Recursive least square estimation (RLSE) with variable forgetting factors is applied to a commercial air ventilation silencer to provide the online estimation of the generalized finite impulse response (FIR) filter to obtain...
