Online Inductance Identification and FPGA-Based Real-Time Digital Control Design for APF.

The harmonic suppression performance of active power filter (APF) under model predictive current control is obviously reduced, when the parameter exists a mismatch between the actual value in system and the nominal value adopted in the control. To suppress the influence of parameter mismatching, a model predictive control based on parameter identification with forgetting factor recursive least square (FFRLS) method is proposed for APF. The digital processing procedure of the FFRLS-based APF controller is detailed analyzed and designed. The identification error of inductance between identification value and the actual value is less to 6%, and the total harmonic distortion of grid current is significantly improved, especially a lower value of actual inductance. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can not only effectively eliminate the influence of parameter mismatch on the control, but also result in better steady-state performance while retaining fast dynamic response.
