This paper describes the design and field implementation of a hybrid active power filter (HAPF) system to suppress time-varying interharmonics injected into the grid by medium-frequency coreless induction melting furnaces (IMFs). In a sample steel melt shop, variable-frequency load-resonant inverters of works coils are supplied from the medium-voltage grid via 12- and 24-pulse thyristor rectifiers. The cross-modulation phenomenon in ac-dc-ac link of the medium-frequency coreless IMF installations produces interharmonics and characteristic and uncharacteristic harmonics in the grid-side line current waveforms. Furthermore, frequencies of dominant interharmonics are migrating in time inside a frequency window as the operating frequency of the load-resonant inverter varies in wide range during a melting cycle. The HAPF system developed for this application consists of nine HAPF units operating in parallel in current control mode and is connected to the grid via a coupling transformer. Current control is achieved by extracting high-order fixed frequency characteristic harmonic components from the reference current signal and defining a fixed hysteresis band for each HAPF unit. The input LC filter of the HAPF system is optimized in the design stage by taking into account the frequency range of prominent interharmonics. Theoretical findings are verified in a sample steel melt shop by extensive field measurements. Field test results have shown that the developed HAPF system suppresses successfully the dominant time-varying interharmonics and harmonics in the frequency range from 250 to 650 Hz.

Suppression of the Second Harmonic Subgroup Injected by an AC EAF: Design Considerations and Performance Estimation of a Shunt APF
Durna, Emre; Gercek, Cem Ozgur; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2018-04-01)
This paper proposes a design methodology for an active power filter (APF) system to suppress the second harmonic subgroup injected by an AC electric arc furnace (EAF) to the utility grid. The APF system is composed of identical parallel units connected to the utility grid via a specially-designed coupling transformer. Each APF converter is a three-phase three-wire two-level voltage source converter (VSC). The number of parallel APF units, coupling transformer MVA rating, and turns ratio are optimized in the...
Design and implementation of a hybrid system for the mitigation of PQ problems of medium frequency induction steel melting furnaces
Yılmaz, İlker; Durna, Emre; Ermiş, Muammer (2015-10-18)
This paper describes a hybrid system for the mitigation of Power Quality (PQ) problems of medium-frequency coreless induction steel melting furnaces. The hybrid system is composed of passive shunt detuned filters and a Hybrid Active Power Filter (HAPF). Since the single-phase load-resonant thyristor inverter of the work coil operates at variable frequency and supplied from a multi-pulse thyristor rectifier, interharmonic current components, due to cross-modulation phenomenon across ac-dc-ac link, appear in ...

Advanced Active Power Filter to Improve Power Quality
Gurguiatu, Gelu; Balanuta, Ciprian; Rosu, Emil; Munteanu, Toader; Dumitrescu, Mariana; Raducan, Elena (2011-09-10)
This paper presents a three-phase Active Power Filter (APF) to improve grid power quality. Starting from indirect control strategy which was used only for three legs - three wires it is proposed in this paper to be used a bridge with three legs - four wire. The new control strategy it was named extended indirect control strategy. The extension consists in passing from the control of a three wire active power filter to the control of a four wire active power filter. The proposed active power filter can compe...
A Selective Harmonic Amplification Method for Reduction of kVA Rating of Current Source Converters in Shunt Active Power Filters
Terciyanli, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Cadirci, Isik (2011-01-01)
This paper describes a new approach to the design of current-source converter (CSC)-based shunt active power filters (APFs) to reduce the converter kilovolt-ampere rating considerably. This design approach is called the selective harmonic amplification method (SHAM), and is based on the amplification of some selected harmonic current components of CSC by the ac-side filter, and the CSC control system specifically designed for this purpose. The proposed SHAM has been implemented on a CSC-based APF for the el...
