SUMMARYA new strategy for setting the DC voltage level of an active power filter is proposed in this letter. By determining the peak slope of the command for the compensating current within a defined load range, an optimal value for the DC voltage level can be determined based on the trade-off between an undistorted input current and a minimum switching loss. Experimental results conform well with the theoretical analysis.
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.
