Abstract

Pulse width modulated voltage source converters (PWM-VSC) could be the universal interface for distributed power producers, loads, storage, power conditioning and transmission systems to the future smart grid. The differential mode filter used to connect the PWM-VSC to the electric grid has a crucial role in the proper operation of the converter and in filtering PWM switching harmonics. The paper aims to offer a complete characterization of differential mode filters with attention paid to the model of the inductors. Experimental results validate the theoretical study.
