A New Control Method of Series Active Power Filter with Harmonic Voltage Source

고조파 전압원에 대한 직렬형 능동전력필터의 새로운 제어법

This paper introduces a control method of series active power filter that compensate harmonic currents and eliminate a neutral line current in 3 phase 3 wire and 3 phase 4 wire power system with harmonic voltage source. These harmonic currents and neutral line current are caused by a nonlinear loads such as diode rectifiers and thyristor converters. Proposed methode extracts a voltage reference directly from performance function without phase transformation. Therefore, the control method is simpler than any other conventional methods. Experimental results for 3-phase 3-wire and 3-phase 4-wire series active power filter system were shown to verify the effectiveness of this control method.
