TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid series active filter system has been designed, built and installed at Beverly Pump Station in New England Electric Power Company utility for 765 kVA, 480 V adjustable speed drive load to comply with IEEE 519 recommended harmonic standards.
Abstract: A hybrid series active filter system has been designed, built and installed at Beverly Pump Station in New England Electric Power Company utility for 765 kVA, 480 V adjustable speed drive load to comply with IEEE 519 recommended harmonic standards. The series active filter has a small rating-35 kVA which is 4% of the load kVA-and is controlled by a synchronous reference frame (SRF) based controller. The hybrid series active filter system is controlled to act as a "harmonic isolator" between the supply and load. This paper discusses the SRF controller implementation issues, design considerations of the series coupling transformer and protection issues of the small rating series active filter inverter. Operation of the series active filter under off-tuned passive filter conditions is investigated. The effectiveness of the series active filter to provide harmonic damping and the use of simpler and low cost passive filter structures such as power factor correction capacitors is demonstrated by laboratory experimental results. Field installation results demonstrate the practical and economic viability of hybrid series active filter systems for harmonic compensation of large nonlinear loads to comply with IEEE 519 recommended harmonic standards. >

TL;DR: A new diagnostic method for the dc-dc converter, which utilizes the magnetic near field as the diagnostic criterion, is proposed in this paper and can be generalized and applied to many other types of converters.
Abstract: A new diagnostic method for the dc-dc converter, which utilizes the magnetic near field as the diagnostic criterion, is proposed in this paper. The magnetic near field of the converter is captured using a loop magnetic near field probe. The frequency information in the measured waveform is extracted by the fast Fourier transfer; the interested low-order harmonic components are classified by the neural network while the interested high-order harmonic components are evaluated using the simple mathematical method. Finally, by compromising the results of the two parts, the detailed diagnostic conclusions are obtained. In this paper, the methodologies of the measurement and diagnosis are clearly described; then, the proposed method is used to monitor and diagnose the buck and phase shift full bridge converters. The experimental results are presented to show the validity of the analysis. Since the two chosen examples include most of the potential situations, the proposed method can be generalized and applied to many other types of converters.

TL;DR: A comprehensive theoretical treatment is given of the phenomenon of harmonic mode-locking in a laser cavity mode-locked by the nonlinear mode-coupling behavior in a waveguide array.
Abstract: A comprehensive theoretical treatment is given of the phenomenon of harmonic mode-locking in a laser cavity mode-locked by the nonlinear mode-coupling behavior in a waveguide array. The theoretical model completely characterizes oscillatory instabilities and the transition from M to M+1 pulses as a function of increased gain.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical technique for calculating the harmonic characteristics of the output voltage of an H-bridge inverter with dead time is presented, based on a three-dimensional (3-D) model derived for generating the pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) pulse train.
Abstract: An analytical technique for calculating the harmonic characteristics of the output voltage of an H-bridge inverter with dead time is presented. The analysis is based on a three-dimensional (3-D) model derived for generating the pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) pulse train. By applying double Fourier analysis, a generalized and elegant mathematical function for describing the harmonic components of the output voltage is formulated. The function can be divided into two parts: an ideal part representing the PWM signal without dead time and a correction part representing the dead-time effect. The function provides detailed composition of the fundamental component, signal harmonics, carrier harmonics, and cross-modulated harmonics. The proposed technique has been verified using examples and the theoretical predictions are confirmed with the results obtained from simulations using PSpice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the use of a statistical signal processing technique, known as independent component analysis (ICA), for harmonic source identification and estimation, without any knowledge of the system admittances or topology.
Abstract: Due to an increase of power-electronic equipment installation and other harmonic sources, the identification and estimation of harmonic loads are of concern in electric power transmission and distribution systems. Conventional harmonic state estimation requires a redundant number of expensive harmonic measurements. In this paper, we explore the use of a statistical signal-processing technique, known as independent component analysis (ICA) for harmonic source identification and estimation. If the harmonic currents are statistically independent, ICA is able to estimate the currents using a limited number of harmonic voltage measurements and without any knowledge of the system admittances or topology. The results are presented with computer simulations for the modified IEEE 30-bus test system.
