A DC active power filter is an indispensable part in a high power and high stability power supply system, especially in the power supply system of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility, which requires that the current ripple should be limited to 50 parts per million. In view of the disadvantages of the series DC active power filter and shunt Pulse Width Modulation DC active filter, this paper puts forward a novel DC active filter by combining the advantages of the transistor regulator and the shunt type. The structure and principle of the new shunt linear active filter are introduced. Meanwhile, the design of several key components that construct the new shunt linear active filter is also analyzed. The simulation model and an experimental prototype of the shunt linear active filter are developed, and the results verify that the parameter design is reasonable and the shunt active filter has a good filter effect.
The superconducting outsert of the 40 T hybrid-magnet in High Magnetic Field Laboratory(HMFL)of Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)requires a highly stabilized power supply.In this paper,two kinds of power supply design are briefly presented and both advantages and disadvantages are analyzed.In order to overcome the drawbacks of switching power supply,a series regulated active filter is adopted and a new design is proposed which ensures cooperative relationship between the feedback control loops of the switching converter and the series regulated active filter.Besides,unlike the traditional switching power supply,which can generate positive voltage only,this new design can also generate negative voltage which is needed in the quench protection for the superconducting magnet.In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology,a low-power prototype has been accomplished.The simulation and experiment results show that the power supply achieves high precision under the combined action of two feedback control loops.The peak-to-peak amplitude of the output ripple voltage of the prototype is 0.063%,while the peak-to-peak amplitude of the output ripple current is 120 ppm.
