In this thesis, online selective harmonic elimination method (SHEM) has been applied to a voltage source converter (VSC) based grid-connected three-phase two-level inverter with variable DC link input voltage eliminating 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 19th harmonics in the output voltage. The switching angles of SHEM are given by a set of nonlinear transcendental equations. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used for the solution of this equation set, and this algorithm is implemented in the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for a fast and online calculation of switching angles in real time without using a lookup table. FPGA is used as the main and sole controller in the implemented voltage source inverter (VSI) to provide gating signals for IGBTs. In applications where input DC link voltage varies in a wide range, usage of lookup table for switching angle sets might be disadvantageous due to discretization of modulation index values, large lookup table storage, and infeasible region of solution space, which are investigated in detail in the thesis, with explanatory examples. The effects of PSO algorithm parameters on searching performance are also elaborated. FPGA implementation of PSO algorithm for solution of SHEM equation sets is described in detail. A 1.6 kVA, 380 V, three-phase VSI is successfully implemented and tested in the laboratory. Hardware co-simulation, computer simulation, and experimental results have shown that SHEM can be successfully applied online for the control of grid-connected inverters.

Adaptive control of DC link current in current source converter based STATCOM for improving its power losses
Karaduman, Ferdi; Ermiş, Muammer; Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In conventional three-phase PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) current source converter based STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) applications, DC link current is kept constant at a predefined value and the reactive power of STATCOM is controlled by varying modulation index. This control strategy causes unnecessary power losses especially when the reactive power of STATCOM is low. For this purpose, in order to reduce the active power drawn by STATCOM, the modulation index can be maximized by adjusting DC lin...
Series active filter design, control, and implementation with a novel load voltage harmonic extraction method
Şentürk, Osman Selçuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Series Active Filters (SAF) are designed for harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation of single-phase and three-phase voltage harmonic source type nonlinear loads. The novel Absolute Value Method (AVM) for load voltage harmonic extraction is proposed and applied in the control algorithm of SAF. The SAF compensated systems are represented by simplified linear models such that SAF controller gains can be easily determined. Harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation performances of 2.5 kW single-phas...
Online characterization of interharmonics and harmonics of AC electric arc furnaces by multiple synchronous reference frame analysis
Uz Loğoğlu, Eda; Salor, Özgül; Ermiş, Muammer (2015-10-18)
In this paper, a multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis framework is developed to determine the positive- and negative -sequence components of all interharmonic and harmonic currents produced by alternating current electric arc furnace (AC EAF) installations, which can be considered as balanced but asymmetrical three-phase, three -wire loads on the power system. The aim of developing the MSRF analysis framework is two -fold; deep understanding of the EAF characteristics, and fast and accurate ...

Optimizing transient and filtering performance of a C-type 2nd harmonic power filter by the use of solid-state switches
Gerçek, Cem Özgür; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this research work, the performance of a C-type, 2nd harmonic power filter is optimized by the use of a thyristor switched damping resistor. In the design of conventional C-type, 2nd harmonic filters; the resistance of permanently connected damping resistor is to be optimized for minimization of voltage stresses on filter elements arising from switchings in transient state and for maximization of filtering effectiveness in the steady-state. Transformer inrush current during energization of power transfor...
