Analytical Modeling and Simulation of Four-Switch Hybrid Power Filter Working with Sixfold Switching Symmetry

الملخص EN

Shunt active power filters are nowadays used for mitigation of harmonic currents from nonlinear loads.

Current and voltage harmonics have negative effects on the operation of the electric power system.

Thus, a great attention is focused on harmonic generation and control.

Several standards have introduced limits on current harmonics injected into the power system and on voltage harmonics at the system busbars.

The paper proposes a switching strategy for a four-switch converter as used in conventional six-switch converters.

The voltage source converter is controlled by a unique space-vector modulation strategy proposed.

Here is presented an analytical solution for a proposed active power filter topology, simulation, and experiments results proving the proposed strategy correctness and its characteristics.
