Abstract

An active filter device includes a power module configured to generate a compensating current to suppress a harmonic current generated from a load device and a controller configured to control the power module. The controller includes a current command calculation unit configured to calculate a compensating current command to suppress the harmonic current, a control variable calculation unit configured to calculate a control variable based on a deviation between the compensating current command and an actual compensating current, a duty cycle calculation unit configured to calculate duty cycle of each of three phases based on the control variable, a duty cycle modulation unit configured to perform two-phase modulation on the duty cycle of each of three phases, and a control signal generation unit configured to, after the two-phase modulation, generate, from the duty cycle of each of three phases, a control signal to drive the power module.
