Analysis on the Effect of Harmonic on the Instruments with Average Value Principle

The application of non-linear load produces a mass of harmonics. The AC voltage meter and the AC current meter used in power system are usually rectifying instruments, which adopt principle of responding to the average value of voltage and current and get the virtual value by using of the proportion between the average value and it.

Modeling and control of An LCL bi-directional inductive power transfer system

Since there exist high-frequency switching networks and complicated operating modes in bi-directional inductive power transfer (IPT) system, it is easy to result in high harmonics and EMI interference. An LCL filter network is introduced to effectively filter out the unwanted harmonics in track current and reduce EMI interference. Based on a mathematical model of the power transmission established by complex analysis of the AC variables, under the condition of maximum transmission efficiency, the phase angle differences between the primary input voltage and secondary output voltage U·so are ±90° and the energy is respectively transferred in forward or backward direction. Moreover, the power magnitude can be controlled by adjusting the modulus of U·pi and U·so. In addition, to keep the track current constant, different phase-shifting control strategies are designed in the primary and secondary parts. Simulation and experimental results show that these strategies can not only adjust track current to keep constant but also dynamically change the direction and magnitude of power transmission according to the working conditions and actual needs of the system load to improve the system operating efficiency.

This paper summarizes the requirements of standards for aircraft power supply firstly,and then points out that the input current harmonic and output DC voltage ripple should be considered seriously when designing three-phase power factor correction (PFC)for aircraft under variable line frequency and unbalanced line supply. Based on reviewing the topologies for aircraft three-phase PFC,three typical topologies,i.e. three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM)rectifier,traditional shunt active power filter (APF)and generalized APF,are picked up. A unified single-phase equivalent model is developed for comparing the harmonic suppression performance of the three active PFC schemes. And the switching stress is also calculated for evaluating their efficiency and power density. Three 5 kW PFC are designed by employing each of the three selected schemes.
