The parallel active filter (PAF) is the modern solution for harmonic current mitigation and reactive power compensation of nonlinear loads. This thesis is dedicated to detailed analysis, design, control, and implementation of a PAF for a 3- phase 3-wire rectifier load. Specifically, the current regulator and switching ripple filter (SRF) are thoroughly investigated. A novel discrete time hysteresis current regulator with multi-rate current sampling and flexible PWM output, DHCR3, is proposed. DHCR3 exhibits a high bandwidth while limiting the maximum switching frequency for thermal stability and its implementation is simple. In addition to the development of DHCR3, in the thesis state of the art current regulation methods are considered and thoroughly compared with DHCR3. Since the current regulator type determines the SRF topology choice, various SRF topologies are considered and a thorough design study is conducted and SRF topology selection and parameter determination methods are presented via numerical examples. Through a PAF designed for a 10kW diode/thyristor rectifier load, the superior performance of DHCR3 is verified through simulations and experiments and via comparison to other current regulators. The sufficient switching ripple attenuation of the SRF structures for the designed PAF system and the overall performance of the designed and built PAF system are demonstrated via detailed computer simulations and laboratory experiments. This thesis aids the PAF current regulator and SRF selection, design, and implementation.

Investigation of multilevel inverters for d-statcom applications
Deniz, Mustafa; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
The most important advantages of Multilevel Inverters are the absence of a coupling transformer for medium voltage applications and low harmonic current content. In this way, relocatable and economical STATCOM systems can be realized. Complex control algorithms and the isolation problems of measurement devices and power supplies are the main challenging parts of this type of application. In this study, the design, realization, and the performance of a Voltage Source Type Cascaded Multilevel Converter Based ...
Performance Enhancement of the Single-Phase Series Active Filter by Employing the Load Voltage Waveform Reconstruction and Line Current Sampling Delay Reduction Methods
Senturk, Osman S.; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-08-01)
This paper proposes the waveform reconstruction method (WRM), which is utilized in the single-phase series active filter's (SAF's) control algorithm, in order to extract the load harmonic voltage component of voltage harmonic type single-phase diode rectifier loads. Employing WRM and the line current sampling delay reduction method, a single-phase SAF compensated system provides higher harmonic isolation performance and higher stability margins compared to the system using conventional synchronous-reference...
Design and implementation of a current source converter based active power filter for medium voltage applications
Terciyanlı, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This research work is devoted to the design, development and implementation of a Current Source Converter (CSC) based Active Power Filter (APF) for Medium Voltage (MV) applications. A new approach has been proposed to the design of the CSC based APF for reducing the converter kVA rating considerably. This design approach is called the Selective Harmonic Amplification Method (SHAM), and is based on the amplification of some selected harmoniccurrent components of the CSC by the input filter, and the CSC contr...

Biçer, Nazan; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and development of the Current-Source Converter (CSC) based distribution-type Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) for low-voltage applications in reactive-power control in order to achieve i) faster transient response in reactive-power control, ii) lower current harmonic distortion, iii) lower power losses and iv) minimum storage elements in comparison with conventional solutions. The developed CSC-D-STATCOM includes a low-pass input filter and a ...
Highly efficient new methods of channel estimation for ofdm systems
Çürük, Selva Muratoğlu; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In the first part, the topic of average channel capacity for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) under Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, Hoyt, Weibull and Lognormal fading is addressed. With the assumption that channel state information is known, we deal with a lower bound for the capacity and find closed computable forms for Rician fading without diversity and with Maximum Ratio Combining diversity at the receiver. Approximate expressions are also provided for the capacity lower bound in the case...
