Possible Line Power Conditioner hobby project

[QUOTE="tim9000, post: 5927087, member: 480143"] Hi All, [This thread has been re-started to accommodate modification of the project for the benefit of anyone that isn't a qualified Professional. [B]Specifically the use of a Low Voltage isolated Source.[/B]] I want to get the opinion of people with more experience than me, regarding a project I was thinking about undertaking. I am wondering if it would be realistically feasible for me to build a Line Power conditioner. Something like this single phase (2 wire) Universal APLC: [ATTACH=full]218983[/ATTACH] However, I'm afraid that controlling the variable speed inverters would be too difficult, I'd like to use something cheap like a raspberry pi if possible. I'm worried that the necessary algorithms wouldn't be publicly available. Or the necessary suitable PT and CT would be too hard to find, or interfacing between control and inverter would be too difficult. Mostly I'm interested in maintaining sinusoidal current for about a 10 amp somewhat harmonic load. I'd prefer to find a schematic to roughly go off, because I'm more interested in the experience of building and playing with it, rather than doing base R&D reinventing the wheel writing all this controller code. [Some available literature to go off would be good] Given the outlined circumstance and the fact that I'd like to spend maybe 20 hours max, working on it (not 100s of hours) would this be a suitable project? Or is this not realistic for something one should build in a DIY manner? I see a lot of possible hurdles which might stop the project from getting off the ground." Thanks [/QUOTE]
