Abstract

See full text

A three-phase active filter for connection into a three-phase power distribution system to compensate undesirable harmonic deviations. A converter is electrically connected between the power distribution system and a DC energy storage element. The converter is selectively controlled by control means to effectuate a flow of energy between the system and the storage element to offset the harmonic deviations. To improve the dynamic response of the filter, the control means utilize vector control principles. Specifically, a synchronous fundamental vector of AC energy waveforms in the power distribution system is derived in a rotating reference frame. Fundamental reference signals are then produced in a stationary reference frame which are compared with corresponding actual condition signals. Error signals thus produced are then utilized to operate the converter. To compensate losses in the storage element and inverter, the control means preferably further comprise loss compensation means also utilizing vector control principles.
