Abstract

A closed-loop control system to reduce the reactive power required by electronic converters is proposed. The instantaneous reactive power which consists of both displacement of fundamental current and harmonic distortion current is measured and compensated by a reactive power source connected parallel between the power lines and the converter. A combination of a dc choke and a forced-commutated inverter is used for the reactive power source.
