Design of active power filter for narrow-band power line communications

In power line communication (PLC), couplers such as coupling transformers and band-pass matching coupling circuits are usually required for coupling, band-pass filtering, and impedance matching. However, the cost and size of transformers prevent them from being an economic and compact solution for P...

description In power line communication (PLC), couplers such as coupling transformers and band-pass matching coupling circuits are usually required for coupling, band-pass filtering, and impedance matching. However, the cost and size of transformers prevent them from being an economic and compact solution for PLC couplers. In addition, passive band-pass matching coupling circuits need accurate impedance matching and possibly incur power losses. In this paper, a 6th order multiple feedback (MFB) active power filter with the minimum number of components was designed for narrow-band PLC, which has high input impedance and low output impedance, allowing outstanding performance in main voltage isolation, suppressing the current-harmonics and compensating the reactive power simultaneously. Finally, simulations were conducted in the range of 95 kHz-125 kHz (CENELEC “B-band”), which confirmed that the new filter met the CENELEC requirements for transmission and disturbance levels.
