An investigation of method to reduce harmonic components in large-scale self-commutated inverter

Abstract

The authors have devised a novel PWM control scheme capable of controlling a designated order harmonic while other low harmonic components are eliminated, based on the conventional low harmonic component elimination PWM control scheme. And it experimentally proved that the harmonic voltage in power systems could be suppressed, by means of controlling a self-commutated rectifier as a shunt active filter based on voltage detection.
