| description | Focusing on the common problems of phase-locked loop dependence, multiple current sensor requirements, a large number of controllers, and complex settings in traditional parallel active power filter (APF) control methods, this paper proposes a harmonic compensation control strategy based on an improved proportional resonant (PR) controller. The proposed method introduces an instantaneous power theory to construct a reference current model, which relies solely on grid voltage and current signals, does not require load-side current detection and phase-locked loop modules, and effectively simplifies the sensor configuration and system structure. At the same time, compared with the traditional solution that requires PR modules to be configured for each order of harmonics, this study only uses one set of PR controllers for fundamental current tracking, which has advantages in terms of compactness and computing resource occupation. To guide the controller parameter setting, this paper systematically discusses the influence of changes in <i>K</i><sub>p</sub> and <i>K</i><sub>r</sub> on pole distribution and dynamic performance based on discrete domain modeling and root locus analysis methods. The results were verified on the MATLAB/Simulink simulation platform and the 1 kVA experimental platform and compared with the traditional control method that requires the use of phase-locked loops (PLLs), load current sensors, and multiple PR controllers. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method has achieved a certain degree of optimization in terms of harmonic suppression effect, dynamic response performance, and system structure complexity. |
