A new control philosophy for power electronic converters as fictitious power compensators

A new philosophy utilizing both thyristor-controlled reactive sources (TCR) and dynamic power filters (DPF) is proposed for applications in fictitious power compensation. The necessary network parameters for the control loops are calculated from digital time-domain, cross correlation signal processing techniques implemented with the aid of a microcomputer. Practical results that illustrate this control philosophy were obtained for a 15 kVA three-phase dynamic power filter.<
