Abstract
A power active filter circuit for an electric power system includes a reference generator for producing a plurality of balanced, constant amplitude, positive sequence, AC reference voltages, each being phase-locked to a corresponding phase voltage of the power system. Error signals are produced by subtracting the reference voltages from their corresponding phase voltages and a plurality of correction signals, which are proportional to the error signals, are combined with the phase voltages to produce a plurality of output voltages having substantially only a fundamental component.
