where the constant 3/2 is chosen so that the definition
coincides with the classical phasor definition under bal-
anced steady-state conditions.
Fig. 4 shows how further manipulation of the vector
co-ordinate frame leads to a useful separation of vari-
ables for power control purposes. A new co-ordinate
system is defined where the <i-axis is always coincident
with the instantaneous voltage vector and the <j-axis is in
quadrature with it. The d-axis current component, id,

While Case 1 is amenable to feedback control, Case 2
clearly has little phase margin near the system resonant
frequency. The latter situation is typical for the condition

3 Line voltage unbalance and harmonic distortion
Fig. 11 Block diagram for inverter Type II control
With balanced sinusoidal line voltage and an inverter
pulse number of 24 or greater, and ASVC draws no low-
order harmonic currents from the line. However, harmo- 'dc
nic currents of low order do occur when the line voltage is
unbalanced or distorted. As might be expected from a
nonlinear load, the ASVC currents include harmonics not
present in the line voltage. It is important to understand
ASVC behaviour under these conditions as it can influ-
ence equipment rating and component selection.
The ASVC harmonic currents can be calculated by
postulating a set of harmonic voltage sources in series Fig. 12 ASVC equivalent circuit with harmonic voltage sources

where v'M and v'hq are the d and q components of the har-

solved using Laplace transforms. Consider the effect of a
single balanced harmonic set of order n where negative
values of n denote negative sequence. The associated har-
monic voltage vector has magnitude, v'h and rotates with
angular velocity ncob. In the synchronous reference frame
it rotates with angular velocity (n — l)cob as shown in Fig.
