The active power filter control is based on the use of self- tuning filters (STF) for the reference current generation and on a modulated hysteresis current controller. This active filter is intended for harmonic compensation of a diode rectifier feeding a RL load under distorted voltage conditions. The study of the active filter control is divided in two parts.

Introduction Generally, harmonic currents are mostly generated by the AC/DC power conversion units and the power electronic equipments, used in domestic and industry applications. The harmonic currents are the source of adverse effects for many types of equipments such as heating in distribution transformer, perturbation of sensitive control equipments and resonances with the grid. Many solutions are proposed and studied in the literature to compensate the harmonics such as filtering (passive, active, and hybrid) with various topologies (shunt, series) for two-wire single- phase, three-wire three-phase and four-wire three-phase systems [1]. These solutions have been proposed using current and voltage source inverters to improve the mains power quality. The passive filtering is a simple way to eliminate the harmonic currents. However, it does not allow to completely eliminate all of them and has many drawbacks such as series or parallel resonance with the system impedance. Moreover, the compensation perfor- mances depend on the mains impedance. The active filters (series and shunt) were also developed and widely used to overcome the Corresponding author.

As well known, the parallel active filters are controlled to generate in real time the harmonic currents produced by the non-linear loads [2]. The performances of an active filter mainly depend on the ref- erence current generation strategy. Several papers studied and compared the performances of different reference current genera- tion strategies under balanced, sinusoidal, unbalanced or distorted alternating current (AC) voltages conditions [3–5]. In all of them, authors demonstrated that under balanced and sinusoidal AC volt- ages conditions, the strategies such as the so-called p–q theory and Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRF) provide similar per- formances. Differences arise when one works under distorted and unbalanced AC voltages. In real conditions, the mains voltages are distorted, which decreases the filter performances [6]. In this case, the p–q theory performances are poor, from the harmonics point of view, and the best results are obtained with the SRF. However, the SRF theory requires a phase locked loop (PLL) which increases the complexity of the control system: an additional card is usually used and the controller implementation is more complex. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally studied a new reference cur- rent generation suitable for shunt active power filter control under distorted voltage conditions by using self-tuning filters (STF) for the reference current generation and a modified version of the classical p–q theory. 0378-7796/$ – see front matter © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

    The performances of an active lter mainly depend on the ref-erence current generation strategy. Several papers studied andcompared the performances of different reference current genera-tion strategies under balanced, sinusoidal, unbalanced or distortedalternating current (AC) voltages conditions [35]. In all of them,authors demonstrated that under balanced and sinusoidal AC volt-ages conditions, the strategies such as the so-called pq theory andSynchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRF) provide similar per-formances. Differences arise when one works under distorted andunbalanced AC voltages. In real conditions, the mains voltages aredistorted, which decreases the lter performances [6]. In this case,the pq theory performances are poor, from the harmonics point ofview, and the best results are obtained with the SRF. However, theSRF theory requires a phase locked loop (PLL) which increases thecomplexity of the control system: an additional card is usually usedand the controller implementation is more complex. In this paper,we theoretically and experimentally studied a new reference cur-rent generation suitable for shunt active power lter control underdistorted voltage conditions byusing self-tuninglters (STF) for thereference current generation and amodied version of the classicalpq theory.

    3.4. Modulated hysteresis current controller

    Consider now the current controller. With linear controllersusing pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques, a constantswitching frequency can be achieved and a well-dened harmonicspectrum can be obtained, but with limited dynamic proper-ties. Compared with linear controllers, non-linear ones based onhysteresis strategies allows faster dynamic response and betterrobustness with respect to the variation of the non-linear load[7]. Nevertheless, with non-linear current controllers, the switch-ing frequency is not constant and this technique generates a largeside harmonics band around the switching frequency. To x theswitching frequency, one solution could consist in using a variablehysteresis bandwidth [7]. This solution which implies the knowl-edge of the systemmodel and its parameterswith enoughprecisionis difcult to implement experimentally. Here, we implemented anon-linear current controller, so-called modulated hysteresis cur-rent controller [10].

    Fig. 6 presents the modulated hysteresis current controller. Theprinciple of this controller consists in adding to the error signalX (X = i

    and period (T). The carrier frequency is chosen equal to the desiredswitching frequency for the voltage inverter. The resulting signal(H) constitutes then the new reference of a classical hysteresis con-troller with a bandwidth of 2Bh. The outputs of the hysteresis blockare the switching pattern.

    In order to set the switching frequency in steady state, itshould exist during each switching period T, only two intersectionsbetween the error X and the triangular signal: the rst onewith thehigher limit of the hysteresis controller and the second onewith itslower limit (Fig. 7).

    To control theactivelter atxedswitching frequency, the trian-gular signal amplitude Atr and the hysteresis bandwidth Bh for themodulated hysteresis current controllermust be carefully selected.If these parameters are notwell chosen, the effective switching fre-quencywould be either higher or lower than the desired one set bythe triangular signal as illustrated in Fig. 8.

    Shamsi et al. investigated a high frequency averagemodel of thecontroller to dene the suited parameters [10]. Thanks to a limitorbit analysis, they demonstrated that with appropriate values ofAtr and Bh, irregular orbits can be avoided. For any value of the
