Active power filter control circuit based on the instantaneous active and reactive current id-iq method

This paper presents the control circuit of a shunt active power filter based on the instantaneous active and reactive current i_d -i_q method. The presented method is compared with the instantaneous active and reactive power p-q method under several mains voltage conditions and for different harmonic injection highpass filters. The i_d-i_q method as an excellent harmonic compensation performance and presents the advantage of being frequency-independent. The DC voltage regulation system is analysed and its synthesis is performed. Extensive simulation results are used to show the stability of the voltage regulation system and to establish the superior performance of i_d-i_q method based compensator
