Description
Summary:This paper proposes a modified one cycle control (OCC) for active power filter (APF) to compensate only harmonic components of load currents. The conventional OCC-based APF cannot differentiate between the harmonic and reactive components of load currents, which leads to the increment in device current rating because of compensation of large reactive currents besides harmonics. The reference signals of the OCC control core have been reconstructed and the associated control equations have been developed, following the control philosophy of simplicity. The modified scheme is easy to implement and only three more sensors are required for measuring load currents compared with the conventional OCC. This modified OCC guarantees the excellent performance of harmonic compensation alone and retains the advantages of the conventional OCC, such as no phase locking loop and the constant switching frequency. The feasibility and performance of the proposed OCC has been validated by experimental studies on a 5 kVA APF hardware platform developed in laboratory.
