At present, electrical network stability is of the utmost importance because of the increase in electric demand and the integration of distributed generation deriving from renewable energy. In this paper, we proposed a static reactive power compensator model with common direct current voltage sources. Converter parameters were calculated and designed to fulfill specifications. In order to ascertain the device response for different operating modes as reactive power consumer and generator, we developed the model’s power and control circuits in Matlab Simulink. Simulations were performed for different conditions, and as a result, the current and voltage waveforms and the circular power chart were obtained. This paper has theoretically proven it is possible to achieve the consumption or generation of purely active or reactive power by implementing a static reactive power compensator with common DC voltage sources.

To improve the power quality of power grid in coal mine, a kind of detection and control method for unified power quality controller (UPQC) without phase locked loop (PLL) is put forward. It can get the positive-sequence component of unity fundamental voltage through Park transformation,and then obtains the positive-sequence active component of fundamental current after proper operation . The PLL or filtering of three-phase voltage and the synchronous coordinates transformation for current are cancelled. The control strategy of the system is studied and the effectiveness and validity of UPQC are verified by simulation results.

With the development of power electronics technology, a variety of unbalanced load are connected to the grid, causing the grid voltage imbalance and power quality decline, seriously affect the user's normal use. Traditional three-leg inverter can output three-phase symmetrical voltage in the case of three-phase symmetrical load. But it is difficult to output three-phase symmetrical voltage when the three-phase load is asymmetric. In order to solve the impact of unbalanced load on the power quality, the three-phase four-leg inverter which is obtained with the addition of a bridge arm on the basis of traditional three-leg inverter is adopted in this paper. Therefore, the three-phase symmetrical voltage can be acquired in the case of unbalanced load, at the same time, with the advantages of simple structure, small size, light weight, higher voltage utilization.

Abstract This research article proposes the shunt active filter (SHAF) control strategies (p–q and Id–Iq), which are used to improve the power quality of the electrical network by mitigating the harmonics with the help of Type-2 fuzzy logic controller (Type-2 FLC) different membership functions (MFs). Three-phase reference current waveforms generated by proposed scheme are tracked by the three-phase voltage source converter in a hysteresis band control scheme. The performance of the proposed control strategies has been evaluated in terms of harmonic mitigation and DC link voltage regulation under various source conditions. In order to maintain DC link voltage constant and to generate the compensating reference currents, we have developed Type-2 FLC with different fuzzy MFs (trapezoidal, triangular and Gaussian). The SHAF with proposed Type-2 FLC using Gaussian MF is able to eliminate the uncertainty in the system and SHAF gains outstanding compensation abilities. The detailed real-time results using real-time digital simulator are presented to support the feasibility of proposed control strategies.

This document presents the results obtained from the application of the law of Lens to correctly identify the polarity of the windings in a three-phase motor with 6 exposed terminals, when the corresponding labeling is not in any situation; Prior to identifying the polarity, it should be considered to have the pairs of the three windings located. For the polarity, it is proposed to feed with a voltage of 12 Vrms to one of the windings, which are identified randomly as W1 and W2, where W1 is connected to the voltage phase of 12 Vrms of the signal and W2 to the voltage reference to 0V; by means of voltage induction and considering the law of Lens, the remaining 4 terminals can be identified and labeled as V1, V2, U1 and U2. For this process a microcontroller and control elements with low cost are used.

Background: Traditional thyristor-based three-phase soft starters of induction motor often suffer from high starting current and heavy harmonics. Moreover, both the trigger pulse generation and driving circuit design are usually complicated. Methods: To address these issues, we propose a novel soft starter structure using fully controlled IGBTs in this paper. Compared to approaches of traditional design, this structure only uses twophase as the input, and each phase is controlled by a power module that is composed of one IGBT and four diodes. Results: Consequently, both driving circuit and control design are greatly simplified due to the requirement of fewer controlled power semiconductor switches, which leads to the reduction of the total cost. Conclusion: Both Matlab/Simulink simulation results and experimental results on a prototype demonstrate that the proposed soft starter can achieve better performances than traditional thyristorbased soft starters for Starting Current (RMS) and harmonics.
