The article describes the results of the study concerning the effect of the voltage level on current harmonic composition in greenhouses irradiators. It is found that its change affects the level of current harmonics of all types of the studied greenhouse irradiators. With decrease of nominal supply voltage by 10 %, the total harmonic distortion THDi decreases by 9 % for emitters equipped with high pressure sodium lamps (HPSL), by 10 % for emitters with electrode-less lamps and by 3 % for LED based emitters. With increase of nominal supply voltage by 10 %, THDi increases by 23 % for lighting devices equipped with HPSL, by 10 % for irradiators with electrode-less lamps and by 3 % for LED based emitters. Therefore, changes of supply voltage cause the least effect on the level of current harmonics of LED based emitters and then the emitters with electrode-less lamps. Change of the level of supply voltage causes the greatest effect on the level of current harmonics of HPSL based irradiators. Mathematical models of dependence of THDi on the level of supply voltage for greenhouse emitters equipped with LED, electrode-less lamps and HPSL lamps were formulated. These mathematical models may be used for calculations of total current when selecting transformers and supply cable lines for greenhouse lighting devices, for design of new or reconstruction of existing irradiation systems of greenhouse facilities, and for calculation of power losses in power supply networks of greenhouse facilities during feasibility studies for energy saving and energy efficiency increasing projects.

This paper develops a full-bridge DC-AC converter, which uses a robust optimal tracking control strategy to procure a high-quality sine output waveshape even in the presence of unpredictable intermissions. The proposed strategy brings out the advantages of non-singular fast convergent terminal attractor (NFCTA) and chaos particle swarm optimization (CPSO). Compared with a typical TA, the NFCTA affords fast convergence within a limited time to the steady-state situation, and keeps away from the possibility of singularity through its sliding surface design. It is worth noting that once the NFCTA-controlled DC-AC converter encounters drastic changes in internal parameters or the influence of external non-linear loads, the trembling with low-control precision will occur and the aggravation of transient and steady-state performance yields. Although the traditional PSO algorithm has the characteristics of simple implementation and fast convergence, the search process lacks diversity and converges prematurely. So, it is impossible to deviate from the local extreme value, resulting in poor solution quality or search stagnation. Thereby, an improved version of traditional PSO called CPSO is used to discover global optimal NFCTA parameters, which can preclude precocious convergence to local solutions, mitigating the tremor as well as enhancing DC-AC converter performance. By using the proposed stable closed-loop full-bridge DC-AC converter with a hybrid strategy integrating NFCTA and CPSO, low total harmonic distortion (THD) output-voltage and fast dynamic load response are generated under nonlinear rectifier-type load situations and during sudden load changes, respectively. Simulation results are done by the Matlab/Simulink environment, and experimental results of a digital signal processor (DSP) controlled full-bridge DC-AC converter prototype confirm the usefulness of the proposed strategy.

Electric variable speed drives (VSD) have been replacing mechanic and hydraulic systems in many sectors of industry and transportation because of their better performance and reduced cost. However, the electric systems still face the issue of being considered less reliable than the mechanical ones. For this reason, researchers have been actively investigating effective ways to increase the reliability of such systems. This paper is focused on the analysis of the common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the operation of the VSDs which directly affects to the lifetime and reliability of the complete system. The method is based on the mathematical description of the harmonic spectrum of the CMV depending on the PWM method implementation. A generalized PWM method where the carriers present a variable phase-displacement is developed. As a result of the presented analysis, the CMV reduction is achieved by applying the PWM method with optimal carrier phase-displacement angles without any external component and/or passive filtering technique. The optimal values of the carrier phase-displacement angles are obtained considering the minimization of the CMV total harmonic distortion. The resulting method is easily implementable on mostly off-the-shelf mid-range micro-controller control platforms. The strategy has been evaluated in a scaled-down experimental setup proving its good performance.
