 Abstract

This paper proposes a harmonics reduction technique for the input currents of three phase PWM converters. The quality of the phase angle information on the utility voltage connected to the PWM converters affects their control performance. Under a distorted utility voltage, the extracted phase angle based on the synchronous reference frame PLL method is distorted. This causes large harmonics in the input currents of a PWM converter. In this paper, a harmonics reduction method that makes the input currents in the PWM converter sinusoidal even under distorted utility conditions is proposed. By the proposed method, without additional hardware, the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the input currents can be readily limited to below 5% which is the harmonic current requirements of IEEE std. 519. Its validity is verified by simulations and experimental results.
