A Hysteretic Current Controller for Active Power Filter (APF) with Constant Frequency
In accordance with the advantage of conventional hysteresis current control method, this paper advances a novel control method for APF. In conventional hysteresis current control, the hysteresis band (HB) is fixed and actual compensating current is limited in a fixed HB. Firstly, the connection between HB and switching frequency must be found correctly. Then, the variable hysteresis band current controller is designed according to the connection. Finally, the Matlab simulation results show that the switching frequency of VSI is held nearly constant and the proposed controller can track reference current well[1]. The problems of increasing switching losses and audible noise which happened in high-frequency state can be resolved in conventional hysteresis current control.
