Abstract

An improved active power line conditioner is disclosed. A series inverter is controlled by a series filter controller which performs synchronous transformations on a load current to generate a series filter feedforward signal corresponding to the fundamental components of the load current. The series filter controller also generates a series filter reference signal corresponding to a negative sequence fundamental output voltage. The series filter feedforward signal and the series filter reference signal are combined to form a series filter compensation signal. The series filter compensation signal is applied to the series inverter to generate sinusoidal input currents, with negative sequence fundamental output voltage compensation, for a non-linear load. A parallel inverter is controlled by a parallel filter controller which performs synchronous transformations to generate a parallel filter feedforward signal corresponding to the harmonic ripple components of the load current. The parallel filter controller also generates a parallel filter reference signal corresponding to a negative sequence fundamental source current. The parallel filter feedforward signal and the parallel filter…
