  • Patent number: 11735917
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a power system comprising at least one three-wire active harmonic filter (AHF) configured to be coupled to, and provide compensation current to, a three-phase load, at least one four-wire AHF configured to be coupled to, and provide compensation current to, the three-phase load, and a controller configured to determine a total compensation current to provide to the three-phase load, the total compensation current including a zero component and a non-zero component, determine an output capacity of the at least one three-wire AHF and the at least one four-wire AHF, calculate a current-compensation ratio based on the output capacity of the at least one three-wire AHF and the at least one four-wire AHF, and control the at least one four-wire AHF to provide at least a portion of the non-zero component of the total compensation current to the three-phase load based on the current-compensation ratio.

  • Patent number: 10587119
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a power filter is provided including a first input configured to receive measurements of electrical characteristics of source power lines from a power source, a second input configured to receive measurements of electrical characteristics of load power lines to a load, an output configured to couple to output power lines to provide output current compensation signals, a power converter coupled to the power output and configured to receive input power, receive input control signals and provide the output current compensation signals based on the input control signals, and a controller configured to provide the control signals to the power converter, wherein the controller receives an indication of a neutral current limit, and the controller is configured to adjust the control signals based on the indication of the neutral current limit to limit current on a neutral of the output power line.
