this paper presents a new control methodology for active power filters that provide an adaptive online harmonic estimation with partial and selective harmonic reduction schemes, which has been implemented within an integrated controller. the proposed approach is to provide partial and selective reduction of those individual harmonics which exceed the recommended levels as set by regulatory bodi...

Thyristor rectifiers are widely used in electric railways in order to control the speed. As a consequence of their usage in addition to substantial input lead current, an enormous amount of harmonics is injected into the grid. To avoid such harmonics as well as reactive power compensation, reactive power hybrid filters consisting of active and passive filters are utilized. Regarding different p...

the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

In recent years, active filters have been considered and developed for elimation of harmonics in power networks. Comparing with passive, they are smaller and have better compensating characteristics and resistance to line distortions. In this paper, a novel idea based on adaptive filter theory in presented to develop an active filter to eliminate the distortions of an arbitrary signal. Using th...

The paper deals with a harmonic detection algorithm for hybrid power filters called DQ axis with Fourier (DQF) algorithm. This algorithm is a combination of the advantages of DQ axis method and sliding window Fourier analysis (SWFA). It is flexible and suitable in terms of design for hybrid power filters. This paper also presents the harmonic elimination by using the DQF algorithm for both thre...

In this paper, microstrip coupled line band pass filters using Koch fractal curves are proposed for the first time. These filters are fabricated on Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) substrate for Ku Band. Conventional microstrip coupled line filters are very popular for RF front ends because these can be made easily. However, their large 2 harmonic causes the shape of the pass band to be asymmetric ...

electric arc furnaces (eafs) are unbalanced, nonlinear and time varying loads, which can cause many problems in the power system quality. in steel industries, the two arc furnaces often perform in parallel and stand on a single bus, which surely deteriorate the power quality. in this paper, in order to study and analyze the harmful effects of parallel operation of eafs, first, a three phase arc...
