Field Application of Active Power Filter

능동전력필터의 현장적용사례 보고

The active power filter(APF) is a good solution for elimination of harmonics, which is produced by the nonlinear loads such as static power converter, computer and so on. Our trademark of APF is a POSAPF-series, which was applied to Samsung Electronics corp, in January 2002, and which lines up from 50A to 500A. This equipment reduces total demanded distortion (TDD) by 2${\sim}$3%, which originally 11${\sim}$13%. This paper discusses the harmonic regulation, measurement and analysis, and describes control theories and design methods of POSAPF-series, and, finally, shows the experimental results of a real system.
