Prob. 1: Consider the supply voltage for a stiff feeder system given by v s = 220 2 sin(t ) , where = 100 rad/sec. A load is connected such that it has poor power factor and draws the harmonic current as il = 10 2 sin(t

) + 3 2 sin(3t ) + 2 2 sin(5t ) Amp. Design a

single phase DSTATCOM with the dc link voltage of 500 V and shunt inductor of 5 mH and 1 ohm. Determine the instantaneous load power, filtered power, extracted reference source and shunt currents. Prob. 2: A single-phase shunt active power filter is used with a dc link voltage of 500 V and shunt impedance of Rsh = 1.0 , Lsh = 2.0 mH. The supply voltage is 100 V at 50 Hz. The feeder is considered stiff. The active filter is modulated using a ramp comparison method with the switching frequency of 3.0 kHz and with the minimum carrier amplitude. The tracking error is amplified using a forward gain of 1.0 V/A. Determine the bandwidth of the current control loop. Prob. 3: Let us consider the following balanced three-phase voltages

v a = 230 2 sin(t ); vb = 230 2 sin(t 120 ); vb = 230 2 sin(t + 120 ) .

The above voltages are supplying a nonlinear load. The load currents contain 3rd and 5th harmonics in addition to the fundamental. These currents are given by
