Modeling and Parameter Design of Thyristor-Controlled LC-Coupled Hybrid Active Power Filter (TCLC-HAPF) for Unbalanced Compensation

In this paper, a new modeling and parameter design method for the thyristor-controlled LC-coupled hybrid active power filter (TCLC-HAPF) is proposed, which includes the analysis of the inner flowed three-phase unbalanced power during unbalanced condition. Different from the conventional method which ignores the inner flowed three-phase unbalanced power, the proposed design method can achieve better performance during unbalanced compensation. To verify the validity and advantages of the proposed modeling and parameter design method of TCLC-HAPF, the mathematical analysis, representative simulation and experimental results for compensating different unbalanced loading situation are presented in comparison with the conventional design method.
