Abstract
This chapter focuses on the analysis and implementation of control circuits for shunt active power filters. The selected digital signal processing algorithms which have been designed for the control of active power are investigated. First considered are algorithms with first harmonics detectors based on: IIR filter, lattice wave digital filter, sliding DFT, sliding Goertzel, and moving DFT. Next considered is a modified classical control circuit based on instantaneous power theory. Here problems of the active power filter dynamics are discussed. Then follows a description of a modified predictive circuit to eliminate dynamic compensation errors for predictable changes in the load current. The sections that follow describe a control circuit with filter banks which allow the selection of compensated harmonics. Under consideration are filter banks based on: moving DFT algorithms and instantaneous power theory. To conclude this chapter a multirate active power filter is considered, which has a fast response to sudden changes in the load current. The presented algorithms allow a decrease in line current \({ THD}\) ratio from a dozen or so percent to a few percent. This chapter presents simulation and experimental results obtained by the author.
