A Strategy for the Design of the LCR Filter in a Series Voltage Compensator

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a strategy for the design of the LCR filter in a series voltage compensator and investigate the method by performing simulations and experiments. In the proposed method, first, the inductance L_f is derived from the ratio of the maximum amplitude of the ripple current to the amplitude of the fundamental current, which is denoted as {%I_rip}. Second, the capacitance C_f is derived from the ratio of the ripple voltage to the fundamental voltage. Third, the resistance R is determined from the rate of decrease of the carrier frequency component and the settling time.
