Abstract
In this paper, an adaptive dc-link voltage controlled thyristor-controlled LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (TCLC-HAPF) is proposed for reducing switching loss, switching noise, and enhancing the compensating performance. Unfortunately, the TCLC-HAPF has both controllable active TCLC part and active inverter part; thus, the conventional minimum dc-link voltage calculation methods for active power filter (APF) and LC-coupling hybrid APF (LC-HAPF) cannot be directly applied to the TCLC-HAPF. Moreover, the aforementioned dc-link voltage calculation methods were developed based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT), which makes the calculation complex. This paper also presents a simplified minimum dc-link voltage calculation method for TCLC-HAPF reactive power and current harmonics compensation, which can significantly reduce the large amount of the calculation steps by using the FFT method. After that, an adaptive dc-link voltage controller for the TCLC-HAPF is developed to dynamically keep its operating at its minimum dc-link voltage level to reduce its switching loss and switching noise. Finally, representative simulation and experimental results are given to verify the proposed simplified dc-link voltage calculation method and the adaptive dc-link voltage control method of TCLC-HAPF.
