Abstract
Nowadays, the majority of electronic equipment behave as nonlinear loads, introducing Power Quality (PQ) problems into the Power Grid (PG), namely, current harmonics and low power factor. These PQ problems contribute to the reduction of the efficiency of the transmission and distribution PG, as well as induce the malfunctioning of sensitive loads connected to the PG. Therefore, the development of equipment able to mitigate these PQ problems is extremely important. In this context, this paper presents a novel single-phase Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) based on a current-source converter, where the key differencing factor, when compared with the conventional approach, is the reduced dc-link. As the proposed topology requires a reduced dc-link, it represents a relevant advantage, since a typical current-source converter needs an inductor with a high inductance in dc-link, which results in higher losses, costs and component sizing. The proposed SAPF with reduced dc-link is introduced in detail along the paper and a comprehensive comparison with the conventional SAPF is established based on computer simulations. Besides, an experimental validation was carried-out with a developed laboratory prototype, validating the main advantages of the proposed SAPF with reduced dc-link.
