Low Harmonic Drives
2017-12-13
• Single drive is not the problem
• So why compensating on a single drive?
• The sum of all loads at the transformer level makes the problem
• Voltage is centralized and the problem is transported on the voltage

2017-12-13
• ADF Active Filters enables the use of energy saving devices such as variable speed drives
• Active filters will generate lower losses than other harmonic mitigation technologies such as passive filters or active front end drives.
• ADF Active Filters do however bring a heat loss to the room they are installed which can require additional cooling installations.
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 33
ADF Back Channel Cooling
2017-12-13
• ADF Back Channel Cooling is a concept to remove the generated heat from the room
• With ADF Back Channel Cooling, cooling air for the ADF is drawn from the outside and the heated air is extracted to the outside.
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 34
ADF Back Channel Cooling
2017-12-13
• With ADF Back Channel Cooling, 80-90% of the heat generated from the ADF will be extracted from the installation room.
• With the addition of a filter box on the intake and a louvre on the extract, IP54 can be achieved.

Power Quality:Harmonics
2017-12-13
• Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency
• Fundamental is 50 Hz (EU) or 60 Hz (USA)
• Hence; 5th harmonic is 250 Hz
• Harmonics are a result of non-linear components
• Non-linear components refer to semiconductors in most cases
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 55
Power Quality:Harmonics
2017-12-13
• Harmonics can (simplified) be classified as DC-components, zero-sequence harmonics and three-phase harmonics.
• DC-components• Multiples of 2 : 2, 4, 6, …
• Zero-sequence harmonics• Multiples of 3 except DC-components:
3, 9, 15, 21, …
• Three-phase harmonics• “The rest” : 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, …
• Interharmonics• Harmonics of non-integer order
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 56
Power Quality:Harmonics
2017-12-13
• DC-components
• Caused by switching loads
• Zero-sequence harmonics
• Caused by single-phase loads
with semiconductors
• Three phase harmonics
• Caused by three-phase
semiconductor loads; drives,
rectifiers, etc
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 57
Power Quality:Harmonics
2017-12-13
• Harmonics lead to voltage variations, instability, disturbances, increased losses and shorter lifetime
• Lifetime shortens exponentially with increased harmonics
• Sites are usually oversized to handle harmonics
• Compensation of harmonics means• cancelling the harmonic
• injection of opposite sign identical harmonic current
• Harmonics are considerably more complicated to mitigate than reactive power
• Compensation of harmonics leads to increased reliability of existing passive compensation

• Summing up all three phases always end up to a zero line
• Different on zero-sequence harmonics (dividable be 3)
• ZS harmonics do not have a phase shift between the phases
• Summing up all threephases will end up with 3x the amplitude of the singlephases

2017-12-13
• Phase 2 has to follow Phase 1
• Phase 3 has to follow Phase 2
• Phase 1 has to follow Phase 3
• Connection to ADF has to be in a right rotation
• If the grid is left rotating, this needs to be changed in the connection to the ADF

• No external factors taken into consideration
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 67
Suggested breaker / protection
2017-12-13
• Comsys suggest to always skip one breaker size
• If ADF is 240 A. Next bigger breaker would be 250 A
• Skip 250 A and use one size bigger. That would be 300 A
• Harmonic behavior is different depending on breaker manufacture
• Use high quality breaker manufacture to in ADF installation

CT position selection
2017-12-13
• Position depends on:
• MV or LV
• Type of compensation
• Harmonic order to compensate
• Load behavior
• Grid resonances
• Passive components in the grid
• Target level
• Installation environment
• Background harmonic level
• The graph should only give an rough idea.
Not a 100% decision graph

CT position/Sensorless selection
2017-12-13
Open Loop Closed Loop Sensorless
Use if: • Flicker compensation• MV compensation• Very dynamic load• Passive filer in close proximity• High order compensation• Only compensate select sub-
grid
• Regular application(harmonics, reactive)
• Load balancing• Central compensation
• Installed CT’s are too big (>10x ADF size)
• Background distortion needs to be removed
• CT-installation too complex• Central compensation
Don’t use if: • Results need to be visible in ADF
• Central compensation
• Flicker• MV compensation• Very large CT (>10x ADF
size)
• THDI is target level

Connection example for dual bus-bar
2017-12-13
• When having two grid / bus bars, the connection of the ADF mightget a bit more difficult
• Target is:
• Not to overload the ADF
• Not to oversize the ADF
• Let the ADF run during all
situaltions
• Openation with open and closed
bus-tie
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 79
Connection example for dual bus-barClosed loop (Transformer only)
2017-12-13
• CT connection on transformer only
• ADF can see current supplied by transformer
• Problem:• If TX1 not running
• Bus-tie closed
ADF 1 is not running
ADF 2 operates on double load
• ADF would be ”overloaded”
• Need to double the size of ADFs
• Can be unstable if both grids are online and bus-tie is closed
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 80
Connection example for dual bus-barClosed loop (Transformer & Bus-tie)
2017-12-13
• CT connection on transformer and bus-tie
• ADF can see load current
• ADF would need to be sizedacording to load
• Overdimensioning is not needed
• Problem is the more complexCT setup
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 81
Connection example for dual bus-barOpen Loop
2017-12-13
• CT connection on load
• ADF can see load current
• ADF would need to be sizedacording to load
• Overdimensioning is not needed
• CT setup is simpler
• Commissioning is morecomplex
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 82
Connection example for dual bus-barSensorless control
2017-12-13
• No CTs connected
• ADF would need to be sizedacording to load
• Overdimensioning is not needed
• No CT setup needed
• Easy commissioning
• Problem, parallel operation ofADF in sensorless operation can cause problems
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 83
More complex CT setups
2017-12-13
• Compensation per Generator (set)
• Problem is G3 is off and “right busbar” is supplied via bus-tie
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 84
More complex CT setups
2017-12-13
• Extra CT on bus-tie makes sure ADF is only seeing the current on the corresponding bus-bar
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 86
Parallel operation
2017-12-13
• Separation between frequencies (closed loop)• Two or more systems should not compensate on the same frequency
• Each system works as a single system on a dedicated frequency
• E.g. System 1 compensates 5th and 7th harmonic; System 2 compensates on 11th, 13th and PFC
• Problem: If one system fails, the harmonic stays uncompensated (secondary compensation set can be uses)
• Parallel operation in open loop• ADF knows how many systems are installed and only takes a part of the compensation current
• All systems need to be installed the same way
• If one system fails, this compensation current will not been taken over
• Sub-system compensation• Application gets divided into subsystems small enough so only one ADF is needed
• Multi-Master parallel operation
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 87
Connection diagram for parallel operation
2017-12-13
• CT connection should be looped through all ADFs
• In case of Multi-Master operation, Ethernet cable between X22 and X23
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 88
Multi-Master operation
2017-12-13
• New system features stateful Multi-Master operation• Master is automatically selected during startup
• Propagation of settings
• If a system trips or goes down, another automatically and dynamically takes over as the new master
• Multi-Master Master/Slave approach eliminates issues with synchronization and parallel system competition
• Uses CAN-bus for synchronization and negotiation
• Standard Cat.5 cable (FTP) can be used for tying systems together
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 89
Multi-Master operation
2017-12-13
• Simple interface!
• Migration of settings to all systems
• Redundant multi-master configuration
• Parallel system with automatic and instantaneous identification of master
• Uses CAN-bus for synchronisation
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 90

Rule of thumb for sizing
2017-12-13
• Quickest way of estimating an ADF size is a “¼ rule of thumb”
• Take the drive size and convert in current.
• Take ¼ of this current and use this as ADF size
• For a low THDV take ¼
• For a low THDI take ⅓
• Example: 400 kW drive at 480 V with THDvas target

Effects of line impedance and Short Circuit Ratio on THDI
2017-12-13
• Higher SCR always increases the THDI
• Increase of THDI on low AC/DC impedance is stronger
• 6% AC impedance has nearly flat curve
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 100
Sensorless Control: Background
2017-12-13
• Active Filters inject a counter-current to compensate for a grid/PQ issue
• Typically, active filters are current control
• Voltage control = sensorless control(in our case; elimination of CT)
• Calculates compensation current based on load current
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 101
Sensorless Control: Background (2)
2017-12-13
• Most common goal of ADF:Lower the VOLTAGE harmonics!
• So, we measure current to kill current harmonics, and “hope” that the voltage improves
• This works, but the idea is flawed
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 102
Sensorless Control: How it works
2017-12-13
• Voltage control is more efficient when the goal is to achieve a certain voltage level
• Due to mixing of background distortion and load distortion, current control never works in correct phase angle
• In current control, ADF is bound to follow load current only
• This limits ultimate results, and may be a waste of power (depending on phase angles)

Comsys ADF Power Tuning 103
Sensorless Control: How it works
2017-12-13
• Voltage control enables filter to work in exactly correct phase angle, minimizing current used
• The compensation current “follows the resultant” in voltage control
• This results in more being done with less current, or a bigger reduction with the same amount of current

Sensorless vs Current Control: Pros & Cons
2017-12-13
Current Control Voltage Control
Pros + Able to isolate sub-grid+ Prevent interference by CT-placement+ Fine-tuning of compensation easy+ Pre-distortion level can be calculated when
system is on+ Clever use of summation CTs give interesting
application opportunities+ Small risk of increasing VTHD in feeding grid
+ Efficient use of ADF current (!)+ Combat background distortion+ Use in sub-grid isolation+ Stability
Cons - Inefficient in applications with high background distortion and/or special phase angles
- Requires CTs
- Cannot isolate load- May interfere with upstream equipment- Cannot easily fine-tune degree of compensation- Voltage reference (pre-distortion) is lost- Lack of track-record (new!)- VTHD may increase on feeding grid

Offshore Oil Rig, Baltic Sea
2017-12-13
Arkticheskaya, a jackup rig with a rated drilling depth of 21,500 ft.
• Struggled with multibleharmonic disturbances and insufficient current
• Unable to run the operation at full capacity
When reactive power goes uncorrected, many
experience grid instability, increased electrical
costs, and limited transmission capacity.
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 127
Offshore Oil Rig
2017-12-13
• Arkticheskaya’s two generators couldn’t cover the load of the main consumers
• Gazprom flot was forced to run Arkticheskaya’s extra generator to compensate for the insufficient current created by reactive power
• Eight DC drives putting high demand on the grid
• While reactive power was a key issue for Arkticheskaya, the capacitors on the rig’s on-board passive filters exploded, leaving Gazprom flot in need of a new solution.
Comsys ADF Power Tuning 128 2017-12-13
• 16 x ADF P100
• Quick installation
• Reached PF of 0,8 at max load duringstable drilling
In such a dynamic, demanding environment, passive filters are insufficient. The active compensation capabilities of the ADF P100’s compensate the rig’s reactive power and the harmonics produced by the DC drives.

• However, dynamics of load make compensation challenging
• Important to remember that notches are just harmonics!
• However, dynamically tracking higher order harmonics are challenging
• Note the solution: Open-loop ADF P300W Fast response ADF P200 in Voltage Control mode Fast response
• Note that open loop requires fine-tuning!!
• Results are good, but we believe there are potential for further fine tuning

• Case could be seen as technical Tour de Force
• However, solves real problem at customer(failure to run two production parts simultaneously)
• Discussion: preferable to have soft or strong grid?• By making grid impedance higher, notches are slower…
… but voltage distortion increases.
• By making grid impedance lower, notches can becomevery fast, but damping is increased
• Opportunity for further research(To find optimization)

Processes with high automatization often containVFDs which causes harmonics in the power supply. This can affect machinery’s and couldcause downtime in production lines
• VFDs creates harmonics in typical six-pulse-converter behavior
• Harmonics causes commutation notches in the voltage
• Notches causes disturbances in the light an blackouts
• Problems in other equipment stops the process flow

• In the calculations, and agreements that have been previously informed that the THDu with the installation of the filters always remain below the 3% maximum peak to 5%. The measurements show that the maximum THDu, in all three supplies, is 2.5% and the peaks remain below 3%. This means that the installation more than meets the requirements.
• There are two ADF filters placed on each supply so that the system is redundant. Both of these filters can take over without interruption. This has also been tested and shows that there is virtually no visible increase in harmonic levels. Also in this case, the harmonic level remains under 3%.
• In the voltage quality standard for non public networks below 35 kV (EN61000-2-4 Class 1) the maximum allowed harmonics level is 5%. Also this is fulfilled.
