Abstract

Parallel Active Power Compensators (APC), their topologies and control methods are the major theme of this chapter. The material introduces a different point of view than the usual one on parallel active compensator structure and mode of operation. The range of realized functions in the field of power conditioning is the most important factor taken into consideration. In particular, the comparison of properties in two modes of operations is discussed.
