Abstract
This study deals with the analysis and implementation of compensation algorithms applied to a shunt active power filter, which uses three single-phase full-bridge converters sharing the same dc-bus voltage. The shunt filter is applied to three-phase four-wire systems, performing harmonic current suppression, reactive power compensation and power factor improvement. In addition, load unbalances compensation is also carried out. Two different control strategies are presented. In the first strategy, which is called independent current control, the currents of the three-phase power source are independently compensated performing harmonic suppression and load reactive power compensation, that is, the three-phase four-wire system is treated as three independent single-phase systems. In the second strategy, in addition to harmonic suppression and load reactive power compensation, the shunt filter also performs load unbalance compensation, resulting in sinusoidal and balanced source currents. The compensating algorithms are evaluated by means of several experimental test conditions, in order to validate the theoretical development and analyse the performance of the shunt filter.Keywords
