This paper proposes a preliminary design tool for active power filters’ (APFs) solutions to be applied in offshore oil and gas platforms, where power quality indices are typically low, and reactive power compensation and current harmonic mitigation are often desired. The proposed approach considers that APF selection and rating is a trade-off between performance and size, and that both component and system aspects need to be optimized to achieve a well-tailored solution. As size and weight are critical constraints in offshore applications, possible benefits of using Silicon Carbide (SiC) switches for the APF implementation are investigated. Moreover, different compensation strategies are compared, varying the connection point of the APF between two different voltage levels and assigning the APFs different compensation goals. Improvements in power quality indices, as well as APFs rating, number of components, power losses, and filter size, have been considered for both SiC and Silicon-based solutions to identify the best trade-offs suitable for the considered, energy intensive industrial application.

Power Quality Improvement

A new control strategy for active power filters is proposed, modeled and implemented in order to improve the power quality of a line commutated converter High voltage DC link. The ability of reactive power and harmonics reductions are generally met by using passive and active power filters. In this paper, modified active power filter with a modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is used to minimize the source harmonics and force the AC supply current to be in the same phase with AC voltage source at both sending and receiving sides of a line commutated converter high voltage DC link. Therefore, it is considered as power factor corrector and harmonics eliminator with random variations in the load current. The modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is applicable for active power filter based on a three-phase five-level and seven-level cascaded H-bridge voltage source inverter. Simulation results show that the suggested modified multilevel active power filters improve total harmonics distortion of both voltage and current with almost unity effective power factor at both AC sides of high voltage DC link. Therefore, modified active power filter is an effective tool for power quality improvement and preferable for line commutated converter high voltage DC link at different load conditions.
