Hybrid active power filter with high voltage chain-type structure and control method thereof

The invention discloses a hybrid active power filter with a high voltage chain-type structure and a control method thereof. The hybrid active power filter comprises chain-type structure converters, filter reactors and high-pass filters, and is characterized in that each chain-type structure converter is a structure converter with a bypass, each chain-type structure converter adopts an H-bridge module, and DC-side capacitors are mutually independent; and the chain-type structure converters are connected with the high-pass filters in parallel through the filter reactors, then connected to a power grid and respectively connected with one phase in the power grid. The control method is based on the filter structure, and comprises harmonic wave frequency division detection, active power filter harmonic closed-loop control, reactive compensation and APF average DC voltage control, and DC voltage balance control. The hybrid active power filter disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple and compact structure, low cost, good operation reliability, excellent performance and the like.
