Review of Different Current Control Strategies for Thyristor-Controlled LC-Coupling Hybrid Active Power Filter

With the characteristics of low DC-link voltage and wide operating range, thyristor-controlled LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (TCLC-HAPF) is a promising power quality compensator in the medium-voltage-level power system. This paper reviews the design and implementation of different current control strategies for the TCLC-HAPF, which are hysteresis current control (HCC), multi-quasi-proportional-resonant control (MQPRC), $H_{\infty}$ optimal control (HOC), finite-set model predictive control (FS-MPC), second-order sliding mode control (SOSMC) and deadbeat current control (DBCC). Also, their pros and cons are fully discussed. In order to provide a deeper understanding about the steady-state and transient performances of these control strategies, the simulation study is presented under both inductive and capacitive loads.
