Description
Summary:A 3-phase regenerative electronic load to test shunt equipments such as active power filters and power conditioners at high power levels is presented in this paper. The electronic load is composed by two inverters with a common DC-bus. One inverter draws from the grid a configurable load current with the harmonic and imbalance desired levels, and the other one is used to inject the energy into the grid trying to minimize the losses, while the active filter performance is being tested. The control strategies and the current controller for both inverters are explained. Simulations and experimental results showing the proper operation of the electronic load to test shunt power conditioners are presented.
