The total force magnetic anomaly (termed in this chapter as ∆F) is defined by algebraic (scalar) subtraction of |Bo| (the strength “undisturbed” earth’s magnetic field) from |Bobs|, that is: ∆F = |Bobs|-|Bo|. As |Bo| cannot (are not) directly measured, the value |Bo| it is usually taken from computation of the IGRF (see Section 2). The ∆F computed...

... Also, nowadays, the renewable energy systems are connected to the main power grid distribution system, resulting in the DC quantity being generated in the power system. This causes problems for transformer and circuit breaker operations [22][23][24][25]. Therefore, SAPF is also essential to have the ability to reduce the DC quantity generated in the power system as well. ...
... For example, the reference current of the individual harmonic current detection process, i * CI H , is achieved by the compensation of the fundamental reactive current i 1q and the harmonic current order 2nd (i h2 ) to order 5th (i h5 ) as shown in Equation (22). Figure 5b shows the reference current calculation for the individual harmonic elimination process. ...

This paper presents an efficient harmonic detection for real-time generation of the reference current fed to a shunt active power filter using the ADALINE neural network. This proposed method is a single layer with 101 nodes generating the coefficients referred to as weights of the reference current model. It effectively overcomes the drawback of the current technology, which is instantaneous power theory (PQ). The proposed method was implemented on the TMS320F28335 DSP board and tested against MATLAB with Simulink as a hardware-in-loop (HIL) structure. This method gives a good performance by producing a precise reference current in a short period with uncomplicated calculation. It also efficiently can eliminate individual harmonic current. The achieved percentage of total harmonic distortion (%THD) in the current is reduced following the IEEE standard, while the power factor can be maintained to unity.

The interconnection of photovoltaic (PV) systems with electricity grid continues to increase significantly worldwide. These systems benefit firstly the grid by improving the reliability of the supply and secondly the owners through revenue earning. However, PV systems without energy storage are intermittent power sources. As a result they bring about some new issues to the utility, particularly as the penetration levels of renewable energy systems all over the power system continue to increase. Technical requirements from both PV system and grid side need to be fulfilled to maintain the reliability of the power system. This paper reviews the grid interactions with grid-connected PV systems.
