Compared with the three-phase, two-split-capacitor active power filter (3P2C-APF), the three-phase, four-leg active power filter (3P4L-APF) has been widely used in three-phase, four-wire grid utility for power quality control due to its numerous advantages, such as higher current output capability, particularly in phase N, lower current and easier voltage control on the DC-side. However, design...

The proper selection of the AC-side passive filter interconnecting the voltage source converter to the power supply is essential to obtain satisfactory performances of an active power filter system. The use of the LCL-type filter has the advantage of eliminating the high frequency switching harmonics in the current injected into the power supply. This paper is mainly focused on analyzing the in...

Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...

although lcl filters are used widely in the grid connected inverters to reduce high-orderharmonics, such a system increases system order and therefore sustainable design of closed-loopcontroller system will be complicated. recently, the single-loop control strategy has beensuggested for l or lc filter based grid-connected inverters. however, the use of single-loopcontrol directly in lcl filter-...

Many grid connected power electronic systems, such as STATCOMs, UPFCs, and distributed generation system interfaces, use a voltage source inverter (VSI) connected to the supply network through a filter. This filter, typically a series inductance, acts to reduce the switching harmonics entering the distribution network. An alternative filter is a LCL network, which can achieve reduced levels of ...

High-order filters, such as inductor-capacitor-inductor ( LCL) filter, have been popular in grid-tied power converters. Although featuring small size, LCL filters are not grid friendly due to inherent resonance, especially when a large number of converters parallel operation todays electric attain modularity, reliability, and redundancy advantages. Thus, this article reconsiders the low-order L...

Abstract Aiming at the problem that filtering effect of inductor capacitance (LCL) filter becomes worse when Photovoltaic (PV) system works low power, this paper presents a control strategy to change switching frequency according instantaneous output power inverter. By analyzing design method each parameter LCL filter, single-stage PV grid-connected inverter structure is used establish loop bas...

The power delivered by a voltage source inverter needs to be filtered fulfill grid code requirements. A commonly used filter technology is the LCL-filter. An issue with LCL-filter occurrence of resonance peak, which can mitigated active or passive damping methods. transfer function often investigate frequency response system and propose use an LC-filter combined transformer form has not been ex...

Abstract: Three-phase two-level voltage source converters are used for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) applications and can be replaced by a multilevel inverter. In this paper, an LCL filter interfaced cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter-based (CHBMLI) DSTATCOM is simulated and its performance is analyzed considering the system parameters. The analysis considers factors including t...
