Po-Tai Cheng , Member, IEEE, Subhashish Bhattacharya, Student Member, IEEE, and Deepak Divan, Fellow, IEEE
AbstractThis paper presents laboratory test results of theDominant Harmonic Active Filter (DHAF) prototype. The DHAFsystem achieves harmonic isolation at the dominant harmonicsusing square-wave active filter inverters. The key advantages of theDHAF system are the low rating and low bandwidth requirementsof the active filter inverter. Such characteristics allow cost-ef-fective and viable applications of the DHAF system to mitigateharmonic problems for high-power nonlinear loads (10100 MWand above). Several practical situations, including source-sinkresonance, ambient harmonic interferences, and unbalancedgrid voltages are applied to the DHAF prototype to validate itsperformance. The operation principles of the DHAF system andthe synchronous-reference-frame-based controller are discussed
to explain how harmonic isolation at the dominant harmonicsis accomplished. A design example of the DHAF system for a20-MVA rectifier load at an industrial site is also given to illustrateits application.

I. INTRODUCTION
AS INDUSTRIES embrace modern power electronics
technologies with an unprecedented fervor and capi-
talize on the improved efficiency and productivity provided
by the workhorses like adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) and
uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), the utility grid thatpowers the industries is being disturbed by these equipments
because of their rectifier front ends. Due to their nonlinear
nature, use of rectifiers results in significant harmonic current
in the utility grid. With the increasing use of power factor
correction capacitors installed in the grid for var compensation
and the inductance of the lines and transformers, severe L-Cresonances may be triggered by the harmonic current generated
by nonlinear loads. The harmonic current also causes higher
losses in the lines and transformers of the utility grid. Harmonic

standards, such as the IEEE 519, are strongly recommended by
the utilities to alleviate such problems.
Passive L-C filters have been the traditionally preferred har-
monic filtering solution mainly for their high efficiency, low cost
andsimplicity.However,L-Cfiltersaresusceptibletosource-sink
resonances [1][6].L-Cfiltersalso attract harmoniccurrent fromambient harmonic-producing loads and background distortion
of grid voltages [2], [7][9]. Filter loading due to background
distortionisakeydesignissue[10]. Theirfilteringcharacteristics
are affected by component tolerances, and the varying utility
system impedances in case of system configuration changes and
contingencies. Further, a stiff utility grid poses great difficulties
for L-C filter design because sharp and precise tuning will be
required to sink a significant percentage of the load harmonic
current.Withalltheseproblems,L-CfiltersmaynotmeettheIEEE
519standard[11].
Several active filter systems have been proposed to mitigate
harmonic current of industrial loads [12][14]. Pure series and
shunt active filters are suitable for small-rating nonlinear loads[12], [15][17]. Hybrid series and hybrid shunt active filters,
which are characterized by a combination of passive L-Cfilters
and active filters, are cost effective and practical for large-rated
nonlinear loads. Implemented with high-bandwidth pulsewidth
modulation (PWM) inverters, these active filters demonstrate
superb filtering characteristics [3][5], [18], [6], [19], [20], [8],
[12][14], [21], [22].
On the other hand, due to their high bandwidth requirement,
their applications are limited to nonlinear loads below 10 MW
[12], [13]. For nonlinear loads beyond 10 MW, hybrid active

filter systems implemented with PWM inverters are not cost ef-
fective due to the high bandwidth and high rating requirement.
Passive L-Cfilters are usually used for this level of loads. How-
ever, as stated previously, using L-C filters may not meet the
IEEE 519 standard.
The authors have proposed the Dominant Harmonic Active
Filter (DHAF) [23][27] intended for high-power nonlinear
loads beyond 10 MW. The proposed DHAF system (Fig. 1)achieves harmonic isolation at the dominant harmonic fre-
quencies, i.e., at the fifth and seventh harmonics (for six-pulse
rectifier front ends), using square-wave inverters. The DHAF
system adopts the hybrid-shunt topology for the advantages
of simple protection and retrofit possibility with the existing
passive filters. The DHAF system does not have any compen-
sation limit in terms of of the nonlinear load because
its operations focus only on the dominant fifth and seventh
harmonics. The fifth and seventh harmonics of the supply
current are extracted by the DHAF controller to achieve domi-
nant harmonic isolation, therefore the DHAF system operates
independent of the load current profile. The passive filters
reduce the disturbances of high to the DHAF system.The DHAF system can also be installed at the PCC for a group
of nonlinear loads, including double-pulse type of front ends
widely used at low voltage levels. Filtering performances of
shunt active filters with double-pulse nonlinear loads can
be maintained if sufficient impedances (such as step-down
transformers) are provided in between [28].
Experimental and simulation results have shown that the
DHAF system meets the IEEE 519 harmonic current limits in
the supply [23], [27], [26]. In this paper, the synchronous-ref-
erence-frame (SRF)-based controller of the DHAF system is
explained in detail, and laboratory test results of the DHAF
prototype are presented. The DHAF system prototype is tested
under several practical utility interface situations including
source-sink resonances, ambient harmonic interferences, and
unbalanced grid voltages to validate its performance. The
hardware implementation of major components of the DHAF
prototype will also be presented.
II. SRF-BASED DHAF CONTROLLER
Fig. 2 shows the block diagram of the SRF-based controller
implemented for the fifth harmonic active filter inverter of the
DHAF system. The SRF controller achieves fifth harmonic iso-
lation by using closed-loop control on the fifth harmonic com-
ponent of the supply current. Three-phase supply currents ,
, and are measured and transformed into the synchronousreference frame ( axes) rotating at the fifth harmonic.
The fifth harmonic component of the supply current is trans-
formed into dc quantities in the and axes, and extracted
by the subsequent low-pass filters. and are then compared
to the references and . Note that references and
are zero in order to achieve harmonic isolation at the fifth
harmonic. The errors are fed into the proportional plus integral
(PI) regulators to generate the required voltage command for the
active filter inverter. A -to- transformation is applied
to convert the inverter voltage command back to three-phase
quantities. The modified sine/triangle modulation used in the
controller generates square-wave switching commands at the
fifth harmonic with slight fundamental frequency modulation to
achieve harmonic isolation at the fifth harmonic frequency and
dc-bus power balancing of the active filter inverter [23], [26].
For the DHAF prototype, AD2S100 vector rotator of Analog
Devices is used to implement the SRF transformation. The op-
erating frequency of the transformation is phase-locked to the
utility grid by a simple phase-locked-loop circuitry.In the laboratory, only the fifth harmonic SRF controller is
implemented to verify the operation of the DHAF prototype. In
real applications, a similar SRF-based controller will be imple-
mented for the seventh harmonic active filter inverter to achieve
harmonic isolation at the seventh harmonic frequency [29].
III. DHAF PROTOTYPE TEST RESULTS
The following test conditions are set up in the laboratory to
emulate various practical utility interface situations. The key
parameters are given as follows.
Supply: 244 V (rms, line-to-line), 60 Hz, with 1.0% fifth har-
monic distortion. mH. SCR 90 on 4.5-kVA basis.The IEEE 519 harmonic standard requires the total demand dis-
tortion (TDD) to be below 12%.
Load: Six-pulse diode rectifier. Details are given in Table I.
Note that and are the dc-side inductor and capacitor of
the rectifier load.
Passive Filter: Component parameters for each test condi-
tion are given in Table II.
Active Filter: A conventional three-phase voltage-source
inverter implemented with Toshiba MG100Q2YS40 (1200
V, 100 A) insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules,
dc-bus electrolytic capacitors F, and ac-side
reactor mH. Turns ratio of the coupling transformer
is 20 : 1 (inverter side :L-Cfilter side).The instrumentations for the DHAF prototype are shown
in Fig. 3. The control circuit is implemented with digital and
analog circuit components to achieve the control functions
described in Section II.
A. Source-Sink Resonance
Passive L-C filters are very susceptible to source-sink
resonance formed by the passive filter and the utility system
impedance. If the resonant frequency is near the dominant fifth
or seventh harmonic frequency, highly distorted line currents
and voltages are likely to occur and cause line trip-offs and
possible equipment damages.The DHAF system test setup is shown in Fig. 4. The res-
onant frequency of the system inductance ( ) and the filter
components ( and ) is very close to the fifth harmonic
( , where rad s). Therefore, the supply current
is severely distorted with 38.2% of fifth harmonic as shown
in Fig. 5(a), and so is the filter current as shown in
Fig. 6(a).
After the active filter is started, the fifth harmonic component
of is reduced to 5.3%. THD of improves from 39.2% (be-
fore the DHAF system is started) to 11.0% (after) as shown in
Fig. 5(b). The distortion of the filter current is also reduced as
shown in Fig. 6(b).

Note that the DHAF system achieves harmonic isolation in
presence of the background supply voltage distortion (approx-
imately 1.0% of the fifth harmonic). This experimental result
indicates that the DHAF system allows the filter to be
tuned at the fifth harmonic to maximize its harmonic filtering
effectiveness without the risk of inducing the source-sink har-
monic resonance.

harmonic active filter inverter. The active filter inverter switches

harmonic component of is the major component, veri-
fying the square-wave switching of the DHAF inverter.

B. Ambient Harmonics Interferences
Passive L-C filters are susceptible to ambient harmonic-pro-
ducing loads because excessive harmonic current from ambient
loads can cause passive filter overloading. In this test, the

DHAF system demonstrates its capability of blocking ambient
harmonics by achieving harmonic isolation at dominant har-
monic frequencies.
Fig. 8 shows the arrangement of the DHAF system and the
ambient harmonic-producing load. The current of the ambient
rectifier is given in Fig. 9. Note that the main load is discon-
nected. Before the DHAF starts, supply current contains
22.6% of the fifth harmonic component as shown in Fig. 10(a).
This high current distortion primarily results from the ambient
rectifier and background distortion of the supply voltage. After
the DHAF is started, the fifth harmonic component of is
reduced to 2.6%, and the THD of is reduced to 4.2% as

shown in Fig. 10(b). Fig. 11 shows the response of the DHAF
system to the starting transient of the ambient rectifier. As the
ambient diode rectifier load is started, the feedback controllerand the dc-bus voltage controller of the DHAF system respond
by charging up the inverter dc-bus voltage from 42.8 to 70.3 V
in the presence of increased disturbance from the utility side.
The envelope of the inverter output voltage follows the dc-bus
voltage because of square-wave switching. In actual appli-
cations, the utility needs to maintain the voltage THD below
5.0% with no individual harmonic component exceeding 3.0%
(under 69 kV) according to the IEEE 519 standard, therefore
the ambient load disturbances is limited. The DHAF system
is able to prevent overloading of the passive filters, even with
background distortion of the supply voltage, and thus allows
the passive filters to be rated based only on the main load.

C. Unbalanced Grid Voltages
In practice, the three-phase supply voltages can be unbal-
anced for various reasons. The DHAF system is tested under
the unbalanced grid voltages and the resulting unbalanced diode
rectifier load current. As shown in Fig. 12, approximately 10%
voltage drop in phase A is fabricated using an autotransformer.

sulting unbalanced rectifier current is shown in Fig. 14. Figs. 15
and 16 show the unbalanced three-phase supply currents before
andafterthe DHAF is started. Thefundamentaland thefifth har-
monic components are both unbalanced as shown in Table III.

The third harmonic component is also significant due to the un-
balance.
After the DHAF is started, the fifth harmonic currents are
reduced to 0.32, 0.28, and 0.31 A, respectively, as given in
Table III.
The DHAF system only suppresses the negative-sequence
component of the fifth harmonic current. The DHAF controlleruses SRF transformation rotating at the negative-sequence fifth
harmonic, thus, the positive-sequence fifth harmonic current is
converted into ac components and then filtered out by the sub-
sequent low-pass filters. Therefore, only the negative-sequence
fifth harmonic component of is driven toward zero by the
PI regulators. The output lineline voltages of the active filter
given in Fig. 17 show a set of balanced three-phase voltageswhich achieve harmonic isolation at the negative-sequence fifth
harmonic frequency. Table IV shows that the negative fifth har-
monic component of the supply current is suppressed by the
DHAF system, while the positive-sequence fifth harmonic com-
ponent still exists. Compensation of the positive-sequence com-
ponent of the fifth harmonic current can be added if desired.

V. CONCLUSIONS
This paper has presented operational test results of theDHAF system under practical utility interface conditions, such
as source-sink resonance, ambient harmonics interference, and
unbalanced grid voltages. The experimental results validate the
capability of the DHAF system to achieve harmonic isolation
at the dominant harmonic frequencies under various utility
system conditions as well as background supply voltage distor-
tions. The operational principles of the DHAF system and the
SRF-based controller of the DHAF system were presented. The
DHAF system is a viable and cost-effective solution for har-
monic mitigation of high-power nonlinear loads (10100 MW
and above). The design example shows that the DHAF system
can be implemented with commercially available IGBTs for a
20-MVA nonlinear load. Photographs of the DHAF laboratoryprototype are shown in Fig. 19.
