Abstract
A hybrid cascaded APF topology and control method therefor for improving the ability of a system to compensate for higher harmonics, raise the quality of electric energy of output currents, and reduce costs. The topology includes: a three-phase cascaded H-bridge including bridge arms of three phases, each bridge arm including a plurality of H-bridge cells connected in series, and the bridge arms of the three phases connected to a power system needing active filtering via inductors; and a three-phase H-bridge circuit connected at star connection points of the three-phase cascaded H-bridge, the three-phase H-bridge circuit including branches of the three phases and two capacitors connected in parallel across the branches of the three phases, and the branch of each phase including two switching transistors connected in series, where switching transistors of the H-bridge cells use Si devices, and the switching transistors of the three-phase H-bridge circuit use SiC devices.
