Most previously reported three-phase active power filters are based on two-level converters, which are suitable for low voltage systems. In this paper, three-phase three-level active power filters are presented based on several new vector strategies and one-cycle control to serve the high voltage systems. Studies at UCI Power Electronics Laboratory have shown that each vector strategy has its eminent characteristics that can be tailored to varieties of needs. By combining these strategies with one-cycle control, all resulted active power filters can automatically baIance their output capacitor voltages. The theoretical findings are verified by a 1 kVA experimental prototype.I.
