Active power filter with input voltage feedforward, output load feedforward, and output voltage feedforward

摘要

Active power filters and methods control and regulate the input current drawn from an electric power bus to a DC level. Load current fluctuations and ripple current reflected back to the electric power bus are significantly reduced or substantially eliminated. A switch mode power converter with a very low bandwidth output voltage regulation control loop uses input voltage feedforward, output load feedforward, and output voltage feedforward to provide a regulated DC input current significantly attenuating input ripple current drawn from the electric power bus.
