Power Theories for Improved Power Quality

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS,volume 1))

Abstract

One of the methods for high harmonic reduction, reactive power compensation or symmetrization in three-phase system is using Active Power Filter (APF). APF connected to power system, depending on control strategy and configuration, can realise all of these functions or only selected ones. For example, parallel APF systems allow to compensate fundamental frequency of reactive component of load current, symmetrize load connected to network output terminals, filter higher harmonics of currents regardless of network impedance and with efficiency which is not accessible in the case of passive LC filters. This chapter concerns control algorithms for APFs. Theoretical considerations have been supplemented by simulation and experimental results.
