Predictive middle point modulation: a new modulation method for parallel active filters

Abstract

When designing an Active filter, using a current-controlled voltage source inverter, there are two main tasks : to generate an appropiate reference, for nulling harmonic current and reactive power, ant, on the other side, to generate a switching pattern that permits to follow the reference as close as it can be done. Predictive Middle Point Modulation (PMPM) is a novel modulation technique, specially suited for Active Filters. This method is derived from predictive Dead-Beat controller, improving its dynamic response and current error. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed method. Experimental results will be provided in the final paper
