Abstract

Active power filters (APFs) are dynamic power electronic devices that suppress harmonics and reactive power. To simplify the detection and extraction of traditional APF harmonics and reactive current, this paper proposes a direct source current control based on a three-phase three-wire shunt APF. The compensation principle and control method of the source current are analyzed systematically. The currents can be controlled without static errors by a proportional-integral (PI) controller in d-q rotating coordinates. Therefore, the compensation accuracy and dynamic performance of the system can be improved by the control strategy. Moreover, considering the grid voltage fluctuations, a droop regulator is proposed to address the impact of DC-link voltages on APF power losses and compensation performance. The regulator is combined with a traditional voltage outer loop PI control to achieve a comprehensive optimization between the power loss and compensation performance of the APF system. Finally, the inner current loop and the outer voltage loop form a double closed-loop cascade PI control structure to achieve the control effect of the APF. Simulation and experimental results verified the validity and feasibility of the APF control approach.
