A Control Strategy for Hybrid Power Filter to Compensate Four-Wires Three-Phase Systems

A control algorithm is proposed for a three-phase hybrid power filter constituted by a series active filter and a shunt passive filter. The control strategy is based on the dual formulation of the compensation system principles. It is applied by considering a balanced and resistive load as ideal load, so that the voltage waveform injected by the active filter is able to compensate the reactive power, to eliminate harmonics of the load current and to balance asymmetrical loads. This strategy improves the passive filter compensation characteristics without depending on the system impedance, and avoiding the series/shunt resonance problems, since the set load-filter would present resistive behavior. An experimental prototype was developed and experimental results are presented.
