Parallel active power filter based on single-phase independent control

Abstract

With the rapid development of high-voltage power grids and power electronics technology, the integration of numerous power electronic devices has led to a significant increase in harmonic pollution in power grids. Consequently, the demand for high-voltage and large-capacity active power filters has become increasingly urgent. This article introduces a novel approach using single-phase independent control and proposes a parallel active power filter based on magnetic flux compensation. This filter not only enhances power quality but also achieves three-phase decoupling control. It is specifically designed for medium and high-voltage three-phase three-wire power systems. Simulation experiments were conducted to validate the efficacy of the proposed active power filter, demonstrating its ability to effectively reduce the total harmonic distortion rate at the grid connection point and subsequently improve power quality.
