Review of Control Methods for Active Power Filters

Abstract:

With the wide application of power electronic equipments in power system, more and more harmonic are poured into the power system, which cause power pollution and make the power quality problem increasingly serious. Active power filter (APF) is an important equipment to compensate harmonic and reactive current in power system. One of the key technologies lies in the real-time and accurate control. The fundamental principles of several control strategies of compensate current were presented, and the respective merit and demerit of these control strategies were pointed out with contrast analysis in this paper. Active power filter will achieve a higher performance and a wider application with the continuous development of the control strategy.
