Reactive T-topology four-terminal-network compensator for multiharmonic current

Abstract

This paper presents a new method for passive current compensation of a real multiharmonic power source with the use of a four-terminal network. In contrast to a two-terminal compensator, a four-terminal-network compensator can fully separate the supply circuit from the load. This ensures optimal operating conditions for the source while keeping the voltage and load current unchanged. The source' s optimal working conditions mean that the source current reaches its minimal RMS value (becoming the so-called "active current") while it transmits the desired active power to the load.

“…The source optimal operation condition is usually assumed to be a source's current minimum RMS value (transmission losses) transmitting given active power to the load. It can be formulated in Hilbert space as [5][6][7][8]: i e , i e → min, e, i e − R i e , i e = P, (1) where: i e , e -source current and EMF that can be expressed e.g. as complex numbers or as vectors of samples or as any representation in terms of an orthogonal base;…”
