Suppression factor as evaluation criterion for wide-frequency filtering equipment

2019-06-01
Durna, Emre
Ermiş, Muammer
Here, a novel harmonic suppression performance criterion, namely suppression factor (SF), is suggested for the wide-frequency power filtering equipment. Performances of single-tuned passive filter, combination of passive filters tuned to various frequencies, shunt active power filter (APF), and a shunt hybrid active power filter (HAPF) topologies have been evaluated considering their SF values over a defined frequency range. Moreover, effect of the control method for the active filtering equipment on SF values is also analysed by comparing both theoretical and the experimental results. The frequency range of harmonics to be suppressed is chosen using the field measurements of Induction melting furnace (IMF) load, one of the most problematic loads in terms of interharmonics, and a field implemented HAPF system is used for the experimental verifications.

Performance enhancement and comparison of discrete time current regulators for parallel active filters
Ozkaya, Hasan; Senturk, Osman Selcuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2007-09-05)
Discrete time linear and hysteresis current regulators (CR) for three-phase parallel active filters (PAF) are reviewed and evaluated. A novel discrete time hysteresis current regulation method with current oversampling and flexible PWM release capability, DHCR3, which has superior overall performance and simple implementation (no additional hardware) is proposed. Switching ripple filters (SRF) suitable for each CR type are designed. A DSP controlled PAF is designed and built for a three-phase 10 kW diode re...
Performance enhancement of discrete time hysteresis current regulators and comparison with linear current regulators for parallel active filters
Oezkaya, Hasan; Sentuerk, Osman Selcuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2007-05-05)
In this work discrete time current regulation methods for three-phase parallel active filters (PAF) are investigated. With emphasis on PAF applications, linear and hysteresis current regulation methods are studied and improvements on the discrete time implementation of the latter type without any additional analog hardware are provided. The dependency of the switching ripple filter (SRF) type on the PAF current regulator (CR) type is considered and design methods provided. A PAF is designed for a three-phas...
Investigation on Series Active Filter Compensated High Power Grid-Connected Voltage Source Inverters with LCL Filter
Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-09-18)
This paper deals with Series Active Filter (SAF) based damping methods for the LCL filters of three-phase, grid connected, low voltage, high power Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs). The inherent resonance problem of LCL filters is damped via passive or active damping methods. Passive damping methods employing damping resistors create significant power losses reducing the overall system's efficiency for high power inverters. Active damping methods, on the other hand, are not applicable due to inverter's limite...
High Performance Harmonic Isolation By Means of The Single-phase Series Active Filter Employing The Waveform Reconstruction Method
Senturk, Osman S.; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2009-09-24)
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 (SDRM), a single-phase SAF compensated system provides higher harmonic isolation performance and higher stability margins compared to the system using conventional synchronous re...
Design, Implementation and Operation of a New C-type 2nd Harmonic Filter for Electric Arc and Ladle Furnaces
Gercek, Cem Ozgur; Ermiş, Muammer; Ertas, Arif; Kose, Kemal Nadir; Unsar, Ozgur (2010-10-07)
In this research work, the transient overvoltage suppression capability and harmonic filtering performance of C-type 2nd harmonic filters are optimized by using two-stage damping resistors; one is permanently connected to the filter circuit, while the other one is switched on by back-to-back connected thyristors during furnace transformer and Harmonic Filter (HF) energization periods. However in conventional C-type 2nd HFs there is only one damping resistor, which is permanently connected to the filter circ...
