• Main compensator ⇒ Voltage control mode

• Aux. compensator ⇒ controlled current mode

• Generate iref ⇒ ref. I of suitable magnitude & in phase with source V

• Force iS = iCm + iCx + iL to follow the reference within a hysterisis band

• Error decides the switching instant of aux. compensator devices

• To ↑ iS, ↑ iCx ⇒ close S4 & S3

• To ↓ iS, ↓ iCx ⇒ open S4 & S3

• Now iref = iL(p) + iCm(p)

Where iL(p) = Real component of load IiCm(p) = Real component of the main
