Single-Phase Active Power Filtering Method Using Diode-
Rectifier-Fed Motor Drive
ABSTRACT:
This paper presents a single-phase high power factor motor drive system with active power filter
function. Since most of electrical equipment connected to the grid must comply with regulations
regarding grid current harmonics, motor drive systems are generally equipped with Power Factor
Corrector (PFC) which is comprised of power switches and reactive components, e.g., inductor
and capacitor. The reactive components are bulky and increase the system cost especially in low-
cost applications such as electrical home appliances. In this paper, a new motor drive algorithm
which is capable of both driving a permanent magnet motor and filtering the harmonic currents
produced by other non-linear loads belong to the system is proposed. Since the input current of
the drive system is directly controlled by manipulating not the motor current reference but the
output voltage reference of the inverter, it is possible to achieve exact and immediate control of
the grid current. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is validated by experiments with a
permanent magnet motor drive system.

CONCLUSION:
In motor drive systems supplied by a single-phase grid, the problems of input harmonic currents
have been mitigated by a PFC, which makes the system bulk and expensive. In this paper, a
power factor correction method for motor drive systems without PFC has been proposed. In the
proposed system, the dc-link capacitor is reduced for continuous conduction of diode rectifier
front end. And, the input current is controlled by directly manipulating the inverter output
voltage according to the motor currents and the input current reference. Since the input current
can be shaped into any waveforms using the proposed input current control method, it is also
possible to eliminate the harmonics in the grid current that other electric loads generate by
injecting the opposite harmonics. It was validated by experiments that the input current can be
controlled using the proposed algorithm and the harmonic currents from other non-linear loads
can be actively suppressed.
