Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign of a Single-Phase Rectifier with Improved Power Factor and Low THD using Boost Converter TechniqueIsmail Daut, Rosnazri Ali, Soib TaibThe method of using Boost type of converter was proposed for a 300W single-phase rectifier in this paper. By designing the necessary techniques and methodology, the overall Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion would be improved to the expectation. The cause of having low PF and high THD for a diode-capacitor type of rectifiers is related to non-linearity of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,127 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter AlgorithmsMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuThe usage of parallel converters is ever increasing. However, the voltage and current harmonics, zero-sequence and negative- sequence components of voltage and current and reactive power present in parallel converters give an alarming signal to power system and power electronic engineers. This research discusses performance of three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) system using three different control techniques namely synchronous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,810 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Control of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power FilterMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuIn this research the performance of a three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) using Model Reference Controller (MRC) has been compared with that using instantaneous active and reactive (p-q) theory. The novelty of this research lies in the application of MRC to generate the amplitude of the reference supply current required by the APF circuit and the successful implementation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,501 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree-Phase Shunt Active Power FilterMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuActive power filters have been widely used for harmonic elimination. The performance of a conventional three-phase shunt Active Power Filter (APF) using Synchronous Detection Method (SDM) has been compared with Nonlinear Autoregressive-Moving Average (NARMA)-L2 based APF. The novelty of this study lies in the application of NARMA-L2 control to generate the amplitude of the reference supply current required by the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,306 accessesView PDF Cite
