Abstract
A control unit for an active filter for reducing resonance in an electric system is provided. The electric system comprises a power source distributing an alternating current to an AC conductor connected to a power consuming unit for distributing the AC to the power consuming unit. The active filter comprises a DC power source and a DC conductor connecting the DC power source to the AC conductor. The control unit comprises: a voltage measurement unit adapter to create a voltage signal on the basis of a measured voltage; a computing unit adapted to compute, using a biquadratic filter, a first compensating current on the basis of the voltage signal for reducing resonance in the electric system; and a switching system placed between the DC power source and the DC conductor for creating the calculated first compensating current.
