Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 A novel active power filter module as shown, including: a current sampling circuit, responsible for real-time collecting the current signal in the power grid and converting it into a digital signal suitable for processing; a harmonic analysis circuit, performing spectral analysis on the current signal obtained by the current sampling circuit to extract each harmonic component; a control circuit, generating corresponding control signals according to the results of the harmonic analysis circuit; a filtering circuit, generating a compensation current with an amplitude equal to and a phase opposite to that of the harmonic current according to the instructions of the control circuit and injecting it into the power grid;

[0021] Among them, the current sampling circuit is responsible for collecting the current signal in the power grid in real time and converting it into a digital signal suitable for processing. The current sampling circuit uses high-precision sensors and analog-to-digital converters to ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of the sampled data;

[0022] The harmonic analysis circuit performs spectral analysis on the current signal obtained by the current sampling circuit to extract each harmonic component. This circuit uses advanced digital signal processing algorithms and can accurately identify and separate harmonic components with different frequencies and amplitudes;

[0023] The control circuit generates corresponding control signals according to the results of the harmonic analysis circuit and realizes precise compensation for harmonic current by adjusting the working state of the filtering circuit; The control circuit uses a high-performance microprocessor or digital signal processor and has the capabilities of fast response and precise control;

[0024] The filtering circuit is the core part of this module. It generates a compensation current with the same amplitude and opposite phase to the harmonic current according to the instructions of the control circuit and injects it into the power grid to eliminate harmonic pollution; The filtering circuit uses advanced power electronic devices and topological structures to ensure the high efficiency and stability of the filtering effect.

[0025] The APF filter mainly consists of the following parts:

[0026] 1. Harmonic and reactive power detection circuit: This circuit is responsible for detecting harmonic and reactive power components in the power grid. It usually detects the load current in real time through a current transformer (CT) and uses digital signal processing (DSP) technology to extract the harmonic components in the current.

[0027] 2. Inverter: The inverter is the core part of the active power filter. It generates a compensation current with the same magnitude and opposite direction to the harmonic current according to the information provided by the detection circuit. This compensation current is injected into the power grid to cancel the harmonic current, thereby achieving the purpose of filtering.

[0028] 3. Control circuit: The control circuit is responsible for controlling the operation of the inverter. It calculates the magnitude and phase of the compensation current that needs to be generated according to the detected harmonic and reactive power information and generates corresponding control signals to control the inverter.

[0029] 4. Power supply and energy storage components: The APF filter usually includes a DC power supply and some energy storage components (such as capacitors or inductors) to provide the required electrical energy for the inverter.

[0030] Brief description of the working principle of the APF filter:

[0031] The harmonic and reactive power detection circuit detects the load current in the power grid and extracts the harmonic components therein; the control circuit calculates the magnitude and phase of the compensation current to be generated according to the detected harmonic information; the inverter generates the corresponding compensation current according to the instructions of the control circuit; the compensation current is injected into the power grid and cancels out the harmonic current, thereby achieving the purpose of filtering.

[0032] The actual APF filter may have a more complex structure and control algorithm to adapt to different application scenarios and filtering requirements:

[0033] It consists of two main parts: the command current operation circuit and the compensation current generation circuit. It detects the harmonic currents and reactive currents of each order in the power grid in real time through an external current transformer to obtain its command current. The command current operation circuit monitors the current in the line in real time, converts the analog current signal into a digital signal, and sends it to a high-speed digital signal processor (DSP) for signal processing, separates the harmonics from the fundamental wave, and sends drive pulses to the compensation current generation circuit in the form of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to drive the IGBT or IPM power module to generate a compensation current with the same amplitude and opposite polarity to the power grid harmonic current and inject it into the power grid to compensate or cancel the harmonic current and actively eliminate power harmonics.

Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.

Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model.
