Active filter can be used to increase the performance of single-phase controlled rectifier by reducing the generated ripple and harmonic distortion. Active filter can also increase power factor and efficiency of thyristor. In this work, active filter was designed by using NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) compared with active filter created by utilizing NPN Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). The obtained efficiency of BJT based active filter with firing angles of 0° to 90° were 87.01% - 96.67%. Whereas, MOSFET based active filter produced comparable efficiency between 90.62% - 96.07%. It can be seen that MOSFET based active filter produced higher efficiency at firing angle of 0° which was 90.62% compared to BJT based active filter that has produced efficiency of 87.01% at the same firing angle.  Both active filters obtained similar power factors within the range of 0.57 lagging – 0.92 lagging. It is expected that this work can be useful for the design of active filters for various power electronics applications including the design of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission system.

ABSTRACTThis study investigates characteristics of p-n junction diodes fabricated by silicidation through a silicon buffer layer and dopant drive-out process. The purpose of using the buffer silicon layer is to reduce silicon consumption from the Si substrate during silicidation, and thus reduce the effective junction depth. The resulting structure is suitable for elevated CoSi2 source/drain contact in a metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor or a silicided polysilicon emitter in a bipolar junction transistor. It was found that boron diffusion is enhanced by these buffer layers comparing to silicided diodes without silicon buffer layers. The sheet resistance of the CoSi2/polysilicon/Si structure does not degrade as seriously as CoSi2/polysilicon/oxide structure. The diode leakage current density is higher compared to diodes without buffer layers, especially when thinner buffer layers and high temperature 1000°C anneal are used.

Passive filters, commonly used to attenuate non-characteristic harmonics in High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems, stay at risk of disconnection from the system due to overcurrent problems. A possible solution to solve the problems involving high harmonic levels would be the use of pure active filters. However, this alternative is unpractical due to the high power of the transmission systems. This paper proposes two different topologies of hybrid filters to damp harmonic resonance in power transmission systems. The first one combines a small-rated active filter in series with passive filters, limiting overcurrents, when existent, or improving its own quality factor. The second one consists of an active filter in parallel with passive filters, which compensates all eventual overcurrent in the system bus. Both topologies utilizes the state of the art in very high power semiconductors and multilevel power converters. Simulation results present a comparative analysis, highlighting the efficiency of, and the differences between, the two proposed hybrid filters.

Inverter is an electronic circuit that convert electric voltage with direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). One of the commonly used inverter configuration is H-Bridge circuit. Inverter with H-Bridge circuit does not need voltage-balanced diode or capacitor to operate and can be cascaded to obtain multilevel output voltage. H-Bridge circuit works by adjusting the combination of switches that were enabled. One of the commonly used switches is Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). The advantages of MOSFET as switching components are its fast switching speed and it did not cause current tail. Therefore, the writing of this paper aims to design a 12V DC to 220V AC 50Hz single-phase inverter with H-Bridge MOSFET circuit. The design stage begins with determining the specifications of the inverter, creating a block diagram of the inverter, determining the required components, and calculating the required parameters of the inverter. The designed inverter is simulated using Proteus 8.4 software. Simulation results are in accordance with the desired specification.

Electrical equipment categorized as the nonlinear load will cause harmonics. Harmonic is a periodic distortion of the sine wave that can cause a negative impact on electronic equipment components. One way to improve power quality is to reduce harmonics using harmonic filters. In this study, an analysis of the system was carried out before adding a filter and after adding an active filter based on a fuzzy logic controller. The application of the fuzzy logic method on filters functions to reduce over switching in the inverter so that it can reach the lowest THDi value. THDi simulation results when the existing conditions are in phase R, S, T; at 14%, 17%, 14%. When the active filter condition is without control, the THDi percentage at the R phase is 6%, the S phase is 6%, the T phase is 4%. In the active filter conditions based on the fuzzy logic controller the percentage of THDi in phase R, S, T; is 0.9%, 0.9, 1%. Based on the simulation results introduced in the active filter based fuzzy logic controller is able to reduce harmonic distortion to the lowest value, so the use of fuzzy logic in active filters can be used in the harmonic filtering process in the electrical system.
