 Abstract

As the import and export cargos across the world increase with global trade environments, the ecocide caused by a lot of small marine organisms in the ship's ballast water is a big issue. To reduce the problem of ecocide, the BWTS (Ballast water treatment system) should be installed in ship. The implementation of the BWTS thus needs low-voltage high-current rectifier for electrolytic disinfection. So this paper proposes a suitable high-current inverter-type rectifier for electrolytic disinfection of seawater and analyzes its output characteristics. It also suggests the practical design guidelines for the proposed rectifier in terms of power circuit and controller designs.

Abstract
AC line reactors and dc link reactors are widely used in variable frequency drives(VFDs) to improve the drive performance such as reducing input current harmonics,elevating input power factor,and protecting the drives from surges,etc.The effectiveness of both types of reactors in reducing input harmonics is affected by the loading of the drives and the system source impedance.In this paper,a simulation is performed to investigate of such factors.The rules to evaluate the needs and effectiveness using ac line or dc link reactors are proposed for practical applications

 ABSTRACT
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Ahmet M. Hava September 2005, 192 pages In this thesis an analytical design method of the improved broadband passive harmonic filter (IBF) for three phase diode rectifier front-end type adjustable speed drives is presented. The method is based on frequency domain modeling of the rectifier and filter. The success of the method involves accurate representation of the load harmonics. With the harmonics well defined, the harmonic and fundamental frequency equivalent circuits are utilized to analytically calculate the voltages/currents. Thus, the size and the performance of the filter can be optimized. The analytical method is verified via computer simulations and laboratory experiments. Also a performance comparison of various passive harmonic filters for three-phase diode rectifier front-end type adjustable speed drives is provided. The comparison involves the input current total harmonic distortion, input power factor, rectifier voltage regulation, energy efficiency, size, and cost. The parallel/series harmonic resonance problem related issues are addressed and unbalanced operation performance investigated. The comparison is based on analysis and computer simulations and the results are validated by laboratory experiments

Abstract
Electrical power quality is routinely taken for granted by oil and drilling industries worldwide despite the fact that the quality of electrical power is fundamental to the safety and operational integrity of drilling rigs and oil production platforms worldwide, without exception. US$100m’s are lost each year, direct and indirectly, due to poor quality of power. Currently some offshore safety authorities are considering the imposition of strict limits on harmonic voltage distortion in their jurisdiction. Harmonic voltage distortion may become a regulatory issue in the future. This paper examines the salient harmonic and power quality issues onboard drilling rigs with full SCR drilling packages, as well the more recent hybrid (mixed SCR and VFD drives) and full VFD (variable frequency drive) drilling packages. With SCR drives the main problems are harmonic voltage distortion, line notching and voltage spikes which destroys capacitors inside equipment. Low generator power factor is also often an operational problem. For VFDs, harmonic voltage distortion is also a problem but increasingly so is excessive common mode voltage caused by VFD operation which disrupts susceptible electronic equipment. The paper will offer advice on proven solutions for common power quality problems and introduce a remote/local power quality monitoring system which can be easily retrofitted to existing rigs and platforms.
