A parallel control strategy in capacity proportion frequency allocation mode for shunt active power filters (APFs) is proposed to overcome some of the difficulties in high power applications. To improve the compensation accuracy and overall system stability, an improved selective harmonic current control based on multiple synchronous rotating reference coordinates is presented in a single APF unit, which approximately implements zero steady-state error compensation. The combined decoupling strategy is proposed and theoretically analyzed to simplify selective harmonic current control. Improved selective harmonic current control forms the basis for multi-APF parallel operation. Therefore, a parallel control strategy is proposed to realize a proper optimization so that the APFs with a larger capacity compensate more harmonic current and the ones with a smaller capacity compensate less harmonic current, which is very practical for accurate harmonic current compensation and stable grid operation in high power applications. This is verified by experimental results. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced from 29% to 2.7% for a typical uncontrolled rectifier load with a resistor and an inductor in a laboratory platform.

In this paper, the development of a cost-effective active power filter/uninterruptible power supply (APF/UPS) system with seamless mode transfer is described. The proposed scheme employs a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) voltage-source inverter and has two operational modes. First, when the source voltage is normal, the system operates as an APF, which compensates for the harmonics and power factor while boosting the DC-link voltage to be ready for the disturbance, without an additional DC charging circuit. A simple algorithm to detect the load current harmonics is also proposed. Second, when the source voltage is out of the normal range (owing to sag, swell, or outage), it operates a UPS, which controls the output voltage constantly by discharging the DC-link capacitor. Furthermore, a seamless transfer method for the single-phase inverter between the APF mode and the UPS mode is also proposed, in which an IGBT switch with diodes is used as a static bypass switch. Dissimilar to a conventional SCR switch, the IGBT switch can implement a seamless mode transfer. During the UPS operation, when the source voltage returns to the normal range, the system operates as an APF. The proposed system has good transient and steady-state response characteristics. The APF, charging circuit, and UPS systems are implemented in one inverter system. Finally, the validity of the proposed scheme is investigated with simulated and experimental results for a prototype APF/UPS system rated at 3 kVA.

In this paper, the current controlled active poler filter(APF) with the performance of reducing harmonic and improving power factor is studied. It has high speed and good performance with low cost. The current controlled shunt APF is proposed, and the control part of APF is designed of SOC(System On Chip). So this system has low expense and good performance. In this study, the micro-controller which designed with VHDL. is applied to APF system. And the proposed technique in this paper demonstrates the excellent of the dedicated micro-controller. VHDL-based ASIC can simplify the process of development and has a competition in market because it reduces the consuming time for the design of IC(Integrated Circuit) in system level.

본 논문에서는 비 선형 단상부하에 의해 발생하는 전류 고조파를 보상하기 위한 단상능동전력필터의 새로운 제어방법을 제안한다. 부하전류에 시간지연을 주어 임의의 두 번째 상을 생성한 후 단상시스템을 두 상을 갖는 시스템으로 만들어 복소계산을 가능하게 한다. 기존의 방법은 부하전류를 1/4 T(T는 기본파의 주기) 만큼 지연시켜서 가상의 상을 만들었지만, 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 저역통과필터가 상 지연의 특성을 가지는 것을 이용하여 필터를 통과한 지연된 위상을 가진 새로운 신호를 두 번째 상으로 이용하였다. 두 개의 위상이 다른 상이 존재하므로 고조파 전류의 순시계산이 가능하게 된다. 기존의 고정좌표계를 이용하여 순시무효전력이론을 적용하지 않고, 본문에서는 전원주파수에 동기하는 회전좌표계를 사용하여 순시계산을 하였고, 보상전류 지령치를 구하였다. 전류원으로 사용되는 RL부하에 대하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였고, 제안된 제어법의 유효성을 입증하였다.

Active Power Filters(APF) have been developed for several years to solve the harmonics disturbance problems on power system networks. This paper studies observer based digital algorithm and PWM technique for three phase current source APF by simulation. Both switching or outside white noises affect seriously at control signal for APF control system. Hence observer algorithm to reduce noises is used. A technique of generation gating patterns for the CSI topologies based on carrier PWM techniques is applied. The requirements imposed on gating signals are satisified by the appropriate combination of single phase switching patterns and short pulse generator.

This paper presents a method for the performance improvement of a shunt active power filter (SAPF) using the indirect current control (ICC) scheme. Compared to the conventional direct current control (DCC) scheme, the ICC gives better performance with a lower number of sensors. A simplified and efficient control algorithm using a low cost Intel 80C196KC microcontroller is implemented using only two current sensors for the source current and one voltage sensor for the DC-link voltage of the SAPF circuit. The objective is to eliminate harmonics and to compensate the reactive power produced by non-linear loads such as an uncontrolled rectifier feeding an inductive load. The APF is realized using a three phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with a dc bus capacitor. Experimental results are presented to prove the better performance of the ICC method over the DCC one.

This paper proposes parallel operation of multi function rapid-charger with an active power filter. Rapid-charger can be installed in public institutions or mart parking lot. But conventional charger has disadvantage that it can not be used as the active power filter in charging mode with only one charger. So using 3-parallel operation, effective mode transfer between battery charging and APF function can obtain effect of harmonic compensation and improving the utilization of the charger.

This paper describes an intensive analysis of a harmonic identification algorithm in non-ideal voltages source systems. The dq-axis Fourier with a positive sequence voltage detector (DQFP) is a novel harmonic identification algorithm for active power filters. A compensating current control system based on repetitive control is presented. A design and stability analysis of the proposed current control are also given. The aim of the paper is to achieve a robustness of the harmonic identification in a distorted and unbalanced voltage source. The proposed ideas are supported by a hardware in the loop technique based on a $eZdsp^{TM}$ F28335 and the Simulink program. The obtained results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the harmonic identification and the control strategy for the active power filter in non-ideal systems.

In this paper, APF(Active Power Filter) will be treated in order to improve the output current distortion of the AC source. APF generates the harmonic current which contributes to a source side harmonic reduction. We can extract the compensating current of the parallel APF with phase transformations and the proposed current control method. Therefore, the calculation times is short and the control method is simple compared with conventional hysteresis methods. Experimental results verify that the system using the proposed method appers a good performance.

APF제어의 필요성은 고조파로 인한 손실을 줄이기 위함이다. 최근의 전력장치 사용의 증가로 인해 고조파 성분이 증가했고, 부하 또한 다이오드와 같은 디바이스의 사용으로 고조파가 증가 했다. 이러한 문제를 해결해야 고조파를 감소 시키고 효율을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 APF제어를 통하여 전원 역률 보상과 효율 향상의 타당성을 실험을 통해서 검증한다.
