Description
Summary:博士 === 國立成功大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 83 === This dissertation presents a new method, termed as the synchronous detection method, for active power filter to compensate the reactive and harmonic current in an unbalanced three-phase power system. Although the instantaneous power theory is powerful to operate an active filter, an assumption of balanced three-phase source voltage is required. Due to the inherent unbalanced characteristics in distribution feeder system , the synchronous detection method is proposed here to handle the unbalanced voltage to solve the reactive and harmonic current compensation problem. Three alternative methods using equal power , equal line current and equal resistance concept of the synchronous detection method are formulated. By simulation results, the performance of the synchronous detection method is proven to be improved. In this dissertation, results using the equal power, equal line current and equal resistance synchronous detection methods are shown. The d-q compensated component of instantaneous power theory is modified and reformulated for an unbalanced system , and its result is proven to be the same as that of equal resistance synchronous detection method. The formula of synchronous detection method can also be extended to multi- phase systems, such as four-system and six-phase system. System implementation using actual harmonic loads is also presented, as well as the test results. The merits of the proposed method are its capability to operate under unbalanced system by per-phase calculation, to avoid conversion error by force waveform calculation, and to implement in very simple manners. This dissertation has accomplished an active filter design for current compensation and load balancing in an unbalanced three-phase system.
