It is based on a frequency-domain Clifford vector space approach. By using a new generalized complex geometric algebra (GCGA), we define the voltage and current complex-vector and apparent power multivector concepts. First, the apparent power multivector is defined as geometric product of vector-phasors (complex-vectors). This new expression result in a novel representation and generalization of the apparent power similar to complex-power in single-frequency sinusoidal conditions. Second, in order to obtain a multivectorial representation of any proposed power equation, the current vector-phasor is decomposed into orthogonal components. The power multivector concept, consisting of complex-scalar and complex-bivector parts with magnitude, direction and sense, obeys the apparent power conservation law and it handles different practical electric problems where direction and sense are necessary. The results of numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed approach to power theory analysis.","PeriodicalId":143815,"journal":{"name":"2008 International School on Nonsinusoidal Currents and Compensation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125624472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

N-dimension voltage vectors are referenced to a virtual star-point and the current vectors are decomposed into three mutually orthogonal components, two of them are responsible of the active power. Without the condition of zero neutral-current, results are modified: the current vector is decomposed into a power-current vector and a complementary current vector. Only the first component transports the instantaneous collective power, the other is useless.

Various PWM techniques make selective harmonic elimination possible, which effectively control the harmonic content of voltage source inverters. On the other hand, distribution systems have to supply unbalanced nonlinear loads, transferring oscillations to the DC-side of the converter in a realistic operating condition. Thus, additional uncharacteristic harmonics are modulated through the STATCOM at the point of common coupling (PCC). This requires more attention when switching angles are calculated offline using the optimal-PWM technique. This paper suggests a harmonic-domain model in order to realistically evaluate the injected harmonics at the PCC. This model properly takes into account the DC capacitor effect, effects of other possible varying parameters such as voltage unbalance as well as network harmonics, and effects of operating conditions on the STATCOM harmonic performance. The model is programmed, and can be easily run with other algorithms such as Monte Carlo simulation. Further, a semi-stochastic method is proposed to predict and simulate the three-phase voltage unbalance, leading to an analytical tool for prediction of harmonic performance of STATCOM. The predictive method is developed based on the measured data obtained from a low-voltage distribution network. Finally, the modeled STATCOM is linked with the distribution substation, applying the proposed voltage unbalance modeling to evaluate aggregate harmonics of the load.","PeriodicalId":143815,"journal":{"name":"2008 International School on Nonsinusoidal Currents and Compensation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126078203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the value of load current changes rapidly, the APF transient response is too slow, the line current suffers from dynamic distortion. This distortion causes an increase of harmonic content in the line current, which is dependent on a time constant. The APF control current dynamics is dependent on the inverter output time constant consisting of APF output inductance and resultant impedance of load and mains. In the proposed circuit transient performance of APF is improved using non-causal predictive current compensation. In the second solution modified output inverter is used. According to this modification the APF dynamics are improved. The Matlab simulation results of the modified APF are also presented in the paper.
