Simulation and reliability analysis of shunt active power filter based on instantaneous reactive power theory

This paper first discusses the operating principle of instantaneous reactive power theory. Then, the theory is introduced into shunt active power filter and its control scheme is studied. Finally, Matlab/Simulink power system toolbox is used to simulate the system. In the simulation model, as the most common harmonic source, 3-phase thyristor bridge rectifier circuit is constructed. The simulation results before and after the shunt active filter was switched to the system corresponding to different firing angles of the thyristors are presented and analyzed, which demonstrate the practicability and reliability of the proposed shunt active filter scheme.

The design and simulation of TCR(thyristor control reactor) reactive power compensation system based on Arene

Inevitably, the question of reactive power compensation was aroused by applied of power electronics. Based on the study of the instantaneous reactive power theory, the designs of TCR(thyristor control reactor) thyristor control reactor reac- tive power compensation system and TCR single closed loop strategy was pro- posed. In addition, as digital simulation software, Arene was applied to simulate the Jining coal mine No.2 system. The simulation results validate that the design is effective to improve power factor and stabilization of the system.

COMPARISON AND EVALUATION OF CURRENT REFERENCE GENERATION STRATEGIES FOR ACTIVE POWER FILTERS IN THREE-PHASE FOUR-WIRE SYSTEMS

For three phase four-wire active power filters （APFs）, several typical power theories and corresponding current reference generation strategies are induced, p-q, d-q, unify power factor （UPF） and instantaneous active current （IAC） methods are analyzed and compared with each other. The interpretation of active and reactive currents in non-sinusoidal and unbalanced three-phase four-wire systems is given based on the generalized instantaneous reactive power theory. The performance and the characteristic are evaluated, and the application conditions of current reference generation strategies are concluded. Simulation results under different source voltages and loads verify the evaluation result.

Response Time of Reactive Power Based on Different Definitions and Algorithms

Dynamic reactive power compensation equipment typically requires a fast response to output the necessary reactive power.The term"dynamic response time of reactive power"is often used but has never been clearly defined.This paper summarizes the reactive power calculations under different definitions and algorithms and considers these calculations in terms of signal processing to simulate and analyze the step response.This paper subsequently focuses on the widely used instantaneous reactive power algorithm and finally concludes that the dynamic reactive power response time closely depends on the reactive power calculation method itself.The single-phase instantaneous reactive power algorithm has the fastest response time.The reactive power response time of dynamic reactive devices in power systems is a minimum of a quarter of one cycle time for the well-known and widely used single-phase reactive power algorithms.

FPGA Resources Reduction by a Multiplexing Technique Applied on ANN-Based Harmonics Extraction Algorithms

In this paper, a multiplexing technique is applied on a neural harmonics extraction method, based on an efficient formulation of the instantaneous reactive power theory. This approach can be used in nonlinear loads compensation with APFs （Active Power Filters）. The architecture for reference current generation, synchronized by a neural phase lock-loop, is composed of three Adaline neural networks. This leads to an important consumption of field programmable gate array resources during implementation. The proposed technique uses only one Adaline and keeps the immunity of the approach under non-sinusoidal and unbalanced conditions of voltage. Simulation results of the neural harmonics detection system connected to a reference current controller show balanced and sinusoidal source currents under various conditions. Results with experimental measurement made on an APF test bench demonstrate its good performances on harmonics filtering. Moreover, the simplified structure from the new approach called mp-q method shows a significant resource reduction.
