RT Conference Proceedings T1 Hybrid Active Power Filter: Design Criteria A1 Pérez Litrán, Salvador A1 Salmerón Revuelta, Patricio A1 Sánchez Herrera, María Reyes AB The configuration of a series active power filter(APF) and a parallel passive filter (PPF) has proven to be anefficient system for nonlinear load compensation. For thistopology, different compensation strategies have been proposedto control the series APF. The most effective strategy determinesthe APF refrerence voltage as a proportion of the source currentharmonics. The proportionality constant in the control algorithmimplementation is related to the APF gain and the systemdynamics. In this paper, the system state model has beenobtained for three control strategies of series APF: voltageproportional to source current harmonics, voltage opposite to theload voltage harmonics and a hybrid strategy which combinesboth previous. The resulting model analyses provide theinformation needed to establish design criteria for each strategy,both in terms of harmonic filtering and the system stability. Thethree strategies were compared in two different situations:sinusoidal supply voltages and distorted supply voltages. Finally,results of an experimental prototype developed for this purposeallowed the proposed analysis to be verified.
