CPC-Based Reactive Compensation of Linear Loads Supplied with Asymmetrical Nonsinusoidal Voltage

Abstract

The paper presents a method of calculation of LC parameters of reactive balancing compensators of linear time-invariant (LTI) loads supplied with a nonsinusoidal and asymmetrical voltage. The method is based on the Cur-rents’ Physical Components (CPC) – based power theory. Complete compensation of the reactive and unbalanced cur-rents in the presence of the supply voltage harmonics can require compensators of very high complexity. The paper presents a method of calculation of LC parameters of reac-tive balancing compensators with a reduced complexity. The method is illustrated with a numerical example. images
