Selective Compensation of Distortion, Unbalanced and Reactive Power of a Thyristor-Controlled LC -Coupling Hybrid Active Power Filter (TCLC-HAPF)

摘要

When the load generated harmonic, unbalanced, and reactive power is beyond the limited capacity of a thyristor-controlled LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (TCLC-HAPF), the TCLC-HAPF with the conventional control methods cannot provide satisfactory compensation performance. In this paper, a selective compensation control method of harmonic distortion, unbalanced and reactive power of the TCLC-HAPF is proposed, which can function even at different voltage conditions (e.g., voltage dip, voltage fault, etc.). First, the proposed control method decomposes the load power into fundamental positive-sequence reactive power, fundamental negative-sequence power (unbalanced power), and harmonic power. Then, the decomposed reactive, unbalanced, and harmonic power can be selectively or fully compensated based on the capacity of the TCLC-HAPF. Finally, simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed selective compensation control method for the TCLC-HAPF.
