Abstract

This paper introduces a new technique to control a single phase active power filter based on a full-bridge current source inverter. The active power filter is controlled through the sensor of the input current, allowing the compensation for current harmonics and phase displacement of any linear, nonlinear and multiple loads. Theoretical analysis, design procedure, simulation and experimental results are provided
