This paper presents a design method for passive filters used to compensate power factor and current harmonics generated by high power cycloconverter drives. The paper includes the analysis of different passive filter topologies effectiveness (band-pass, high-pass and C type), a procedure to calculate filter parameters, tuning frequency selection, and reactive power distribution. The passive filters are designed to compensate high power grinding mill drives energized from cycloconverters. Simulated results based on a real grinding mill plant prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
