COMSYS ADF P200 Active Harmonic Filter

COMSYS ADF P200 Active Harmonic Filter

COMSYS ADF P200 is the world's fastest dynamic active harmonic filter (AHF) with industry leading performance, and excellent at mitigating interharmonics, resonances, and supraharmonics up to 5 kHz. It features fully customizable harmonic compensation, dynamic VAR reactive power compensation, load balancing. Applications include utility, data centers, small to medium manufacturing companies, fluorescent lamps, HVAC, EV charging stations, variable speed drive (VSD) systems, UPS systems, industrial loads, medical equipment, offices and commercial buildings, fan and pump applications, and more. The web user interface (WUI) allows remote monitoring and control. Modbus TCP enables flexible functionality with integration to overlying control such as a PLC or SCADA systems. The ADF P200’s wall-mounted, modular, scalable design means that many ADF P200 can be combined in parallel for higher power. Due to the form factor of the ADF P200, it can be integrated into an ADF P300 with 1-2 modules. It can also be used as a stand-alone wall-mounted active filter, just like the ADF P100. The COMSYS ADF series is the only solution in the world with sensorless control, meaning no CTs (current transformers) are required. With the increase in renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic plants and wind farms, the amount of supraharmonics, interharmonics and resonances increase. This makes the ADF P200 a perfect solution for the modern grid and for microgrids.

What to expect with ADF?

ADF Operating Principle - How it Works.

An ADF unit is basically a very advanced computer-controlled current generator with the ability to instantly produce any shape or form of compensation current.

A simplified diagram of the operating principle is shown in the figure. Each ADF unit is connected in parallel, in shunt, with the load that requires compensation.

  • The power flows of electrical currents between the load and the network are measured and analyzed [1] to determine if disturbances such as reactive displacement and /or harmonics are present.
  • If found, the ADF unit injects compensation current [2] that are the exact opposite of, for example, the harmonics and/or reactive displacement.
  • This is done in order to cancel out the load behavior [3].

NO CTs Required. The ONLY solution with Sensorless Control

When you need a retrofit solution or you have a complicated set-up, it can be very difficult to add the CTs (current transformers). But with Sensorless Control, we can compensate without it — so you can eliminate the CTs altogether. This gives you more flexibility when it comes to where and how to install the ADF unit and reduces the overall hassle of installation and compensation. In addition to this, you are also able to isolate sub-grids and compensate background distortion, which further improves the flexibility and adaptability of the ADF platform.

Sensorless Control is now available on all ADF products.

Remote Monitoring and Control of ADFs

The WUI (web user interface) is a web application requiring no additional software installation. It offers a convenient, easy-to-use service to enable you to monitor your ADF modules from any device – anywhere, anytime. Additionally, the WUI can be integrated into a larger system (i.e. with multiple generators, many loads, etc.), which you can then choose to run on a certain schedule or operation mode. And if your operation uses a PLC, the PLC can read out critical data from the ADF module automatically.
