An Improved Specific Harmonic Detection Method Based on Adaptive Cancellation Principle

Abstract

When the active power filter (APF) and the tunable filter are used for specific harmonic suppression, the accurate single harmonic current detection module is one of the key links to ensure its harmonic suppression effect. An improved single harmonic detection method based on the principle of adaptive cancellation has been proposed, which does not have some of the problems of traditional algorithms, for instance the feedback error is not accurate enough, and the contradiction between tracking speed and steady-state accuracy. This method can accurately and quickly detect the harmonic amplitude and phase angle, and can be flexibly applied to the harmonic detection of three-phase and single-phase systems. Through theoretical analysis and MATLAB simulation, it is proved that the method can guarantee a higher steady-state accuracy and a faster tracking speed.
