This paper proposes a control algorithm for parallel active power filters, based on current-controlled pulsewidth-modulated converters, which allows precise compensation of selected harmonic currents produced by distorting loads. The approach is based on the measurement of line currents and performs the compensation of the selected harmonics using closed-loop synchronous frame controllers. Thanks to the closed-loop operation, full compensation of the desired harmonics is achieved even in the presence of a significant delay in the current control. Thanks to the selective approach, active filter interactions with possible dynamic components of the load are minimized. Moreover, the complexity of the synchronous frame controllers is overcome using equivalent stationary frame controllers. Experimental results confirm the theoretical expectations. © 2001 IEEE.

Abstract
This paper proposes a control algorithm for parallel active power filters, based on current-controlled pulsewidth-modulated converters, which allows precise compensation of selected harmonic currents produced by distorting loads. The approach is based on the measurement of line currents and performs the compensation of the selected harmonics using closed-loop synchronous frame controllers. Thanks to the closed-loop operation, full compensation of the desired harmonics is achieved even in the presence of a significant delay in the current control. Thanks to the selective approach, active filter interactions with possible dynamic components of the load are minimized. Moreover, the complexity of the synchronous frame controllers is overcome using equivalent stationary frame controllers. Experimental results confirm the theoretical expectations. © 2001 IEEE.
