A novel shunt hybrid active power filter based on magnetic flux compensation

In this article, the principle of a novel shunt hybrid active power filter (APF) based on magnetic flux compensation is proposed. The parallel transformer can exhibit nearly zero impedance to harmonic current whereas the zero magnetic flux condition is satisfied for harmonics, which leads harmonic current to flow into the transformer branch. Meanwhile, the transformer can exhibit continuously adjustable impedance to the fundamental current based on fundamental magnetic flux compensation, which works together with the passive power filter to compensate for reactive power. A mathematical model is established for system stability analysis and steady state estimation. The experimental results verify that the performance of the proposed APF is satisfactory in harmonic suppression as well as reactive power compensation.

Control and performance of a fully-digital-controlled shunt activefilter for installation on a power distribution system

This paper presents a fully-digital-controlled shunt active filter for harmonic termination of a power distribution system. The main purpose of the active filter based on voltage detection is not to compensate for current harmonics but to damp out harmonic propagation caused by line inductors and shunt capacitors for power factor correction. However, time and phase delays inherent in digital controllers might lead to unsatisfactory harmonic-damping performance although digital controllers are preferable to analog controllers. This paper deals with the design and implementation of a digital controller for a shunt active filter based on voltage detection. Experimental results obtained from a laboratory system developed in this paper verify the viability and effectiveness of the fully-digital-controlled active filter

A passive series, active shunt filter for high power applications

This paper presents a hybrid series passive/shunt active power filter system for high power nonlinear loads. This work is motivated by the fact that the ability of a converter to perform effectively as an active filter is limited by the power and the frequency distribution of the distortion for which it must compensate. This system is comprised of a three-phase shunt active filter and series AC line smoothing reactance installed in front of the target load. The proposed system significantly reduces the required shunt active filter bandwidth. The space-vector pulse width modulation (PWM) controller is based on a dead-beat control model. It is implemented digitally using a single 16-bit microcontroller. This controller requires only the supply current to be monitored, an approach different from conventional methods. The paper provides background on the operation of the filter, the details of the power circuit, the details of the control design, representative waveforms, and spectral performance for a filter which supports a 15 kVA phase controlled rectifier load. Experimental data indicate that the active filter typically consumes 2% or less of the average load power, suggesting that a parallel filter is an efficient compensation approach. The spectral performance shows that the active filter brings the system into compliance with IEEE519-1992 up to the 33rd harmonic for an AC line smoothing reactance of 0.13 p.u     

A series active power filter adopting hybrid control approach

The series active power filter (APF) is suitable for compensating a voltage type harmonics-producing load, whereas the control approach it adopts may directly influence its compensation characteristics. This paper first discusses the control approach of detecting source current in terms of the basic operation principle of a series APF, then developing a control approach of detecting load voltage. On the basis of these, a hybrid control approach is proposed. In this approach, the reference signal of the compensation voltage needed by the series APF is obtained by detecting both source current and load voltage. Thus, this approach has the advantages of the first and the second control approaches and, at the same time, it can overcome their respective drawbacks. For practical realization, the control methods of the PWM inverter in the series APF and for regulating its DC side voltage are discussed in detail. A prototype of the series APF is manufactured and corresponding experimental investigation is done. The results show that when the series APF, if adopting the hybrid control approach instead of the other two, compensates for the voltage type harmonics-producing load, its performance can be improved greatly

Novel compound PWM strategy of a four-leg shunt active power filter

The currently used hysteresis method is of low control accuracy, and the PWM-based strategy fails to provide a high enough response speed; thus, there is always a trade-off between the performances of control accuracy and response speed for a four-leg shunt active power filter (APF) to cope with the large variation in the load harmonic profile. First, an improved SVPWM strategy is proposed in this paper; with the aim to increase the response speed of a four-leg APF by simplifying the implementation of current 3D-SVPWM methods, the principle and realisation of this strategy are explained in detail. Based on these works, a compound PWM algorithm that effectively integrates the improved SVPWM and a PI-based current hysteresis method is proposed to simultaneously guarantee a higher response speed and a higher control accuracy for a four-leg APF. The realisation and parameter tuning of the compound PWM are elaborated. The correctness and effectiveness of the improved SVPWM and the compound PWM strategy are verified by simulations using Matlab/Simulink software. Finally, experimental results on a four-leg APF implemented in a closed-loop real-time simulation platform are presented.     

A hybrid active filter for damping of harmonic resonance inindustrial power systems

This paper proposes a hybrid active filter for the damping of harmonic resonance in industrial power systems. The hybrid filter consists of a small-rated active filter and a 5th-tuned passive filter. The active filter is characterized by detecting the 5th-harmonic current flowing into the passive filter. It is controlled in such a way as to behave as a negative or positive resistor by adjusting a feedback gain from a negative to positive value, and vice versa. The negative resistor presented by the active filter cancels a positive resistor inherent in the passive filter, so that the hybrid filter acts as an ideal passive filter with infinite quality factor. This significantly improves damping the harmonic resonance, compared with the passive filter used alone. Moreover, the active filter acts as a positive resistor to prevent an excessive harmonic current from flowing into the passive filter. Experimental results obtained from a 20-kW laboratory model verify the viability and effectiveness of the hybrid active filter proposed in this paper     

A new hybrid active power filter (APF) topology

In this paper, a new hybrid active power filter topology is presented. A higher-voltage, low-switching frequency insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) inverter and a lower-voltage high-switching frequency metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) inverter are used in combination to achieve harmonic current compensation. The function of the IGBT inverter is to support utility fundamental voltage and to compensate for the fundamental reactive power. The MOSFET inverter fulfills the function of harmonic current compensation. To further reduce cost and to simplify control, the IGBT and MOSFET inverters share the same DC-link via a split capacitor bank. With this approach harmonics can be cancelled over a wide frequency range. Compared to the conventional APF topology, the proposed approach employs lower dc-link voltage and generates less noise. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed active power filter topology is capable of compensating for the load harmonics     

Finite control set predictive control of shunt hybrid power filter

This paper proposes a finite control set predictive control (FCS-PC) scheme for the shunt hybrid power filter (SHPF) to reduce the power loss while maintaining satisfactory power quality at the utility’s grid terminals. By means of the instantaneous power theory, the controller for the proposed method can generate the reference voltage for the SHPF voltage source inverter (VSI) for the future sampling time. Therefore, during a sampling time, the vector of the reference voltage is compared with the finite number of voltage vectors existent in the VSI to select the vector that best fits the cost function of the controller. The proposed method, compared with the conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) carrier method, has the capability of suppressing similarly the harmonic currents at grid terminals and controlling VSI DC-link voltage while maintaining low switching frequencies in the devices. This method shows simplicity in digital implementation because it does not need a PWM block to obtain the VSI gating signals. In addition, a comparison of the proposed FCS-PC method with the conventional carrier-based PWM method is presented and discussed. Parameter errors in the controller are studied and their effects on system performance are explained. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with simulation and experimental results during steady-state operation and transient response of the system.

New hybrid active power filter for harmonic current suppression and reactive power compensation

In the case of undistorted and balanced grid voltages, low ratio shunt active power filters (APFs) can give unity power factors and achieve current harmonic cancellation. However, this is not possible when source voltages are distorted and unbalanced. In this study, the cost-effective hybrid active power filter (HAPF) topology for satisfying the requirements of harmonic current suppression and non-active power compensation for industry is presented. An effective strategy is developed to observe the effect of the placement of power capacitors and LC filters with the shunt APF. A new method for alleviating the negative effects of a nonideal grid voltage is proposed that uses a self-tuning filter algorithm with instantaneous reactive power theory. The real-time control of the studied system was achieved with a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture, which was developed using the OPAL-RT system. The performance result of the proposed HAPF system is tested and presented under nonideal supply voltage conditions.     

A new control system with a control delay compensation for a current-source active power filter

In this paper, a new control system for the current-source active power filter is presented. The harmonic current compensation is realized using combined feedforward control of the load currents and closed-loop control of the supply currents. The control system includes a simple method for compensating the sampling and calculation delays of the digital control system. The compensation in the proposed method is achieved using the regular LC filter of the active power filter as an energy storage for load currents, and no additional components is needed in the main circuit. Furthermore, the calculation power demand of the compensation method is very low and is, therefore, suitable for single-chip microcontroller implementations. The proposed control system is realized using a 32-bit Motorola MPC555 microcontroller. The simulation and experimental results show effective filtering performance also for higher order harmonics of the distorted load currents.

The inverter generates unchanged DC voltage control current to ensure that the fundamental voltage loss of the series transformer remain stable. The simulation and experimental results validity and feasibility of the proposed DC voltage control the method of the series hybrid APF.
