Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory to N Wire Systems

Abstract

The control strategy derived from the instantaneous reactive power theory is one of the most commonly used in the Active Power Filters (APFs). For the last decades other formulations have been developed in order to achieve compensation objectives different to the proposed in the original one. Nevertheless, all of them can be only applied to three-phase systems, i. e.: in those formulations frameworks, they can not be used to obtain the control strategy for a polyphase system. This paper presents a new approach which can be applied to n wire systems. The powers and currents expressions derived from the formulations presented up now can be obtain applying this new approach. In this paper, the original p-q and the modified p-q formulation expressions are obtain in the new approach framework.
