The present work discuss the localization and coordinated operation of active power filters installed in a distribution power network. The localization problem is solved off-line for a given load variation scenario. The control of the current injected by the active power filter is solved on-line. In both cases the design solutions aim at reducing the total harmonic distortion below 5% and individual...
In this paper, authors propose a novel fourteen-band hysteresis technique to control the fifteen level packed U cells (PUC) converter. This topology was first introduced. It combines advantages of the flying capacitor and the cascaded H-bridge topologies. The study of the novel converter allows the establishment of the switches gates signals equations. In case of rectifier operation, the proposed...
This paper presents the application of adaptive notch filters for harmonic detection in shunt active power filters (SAPF). The orthogonal input signals to the adaptive notch filter are generated using the Clarke transformation of the load currents in such way that the Phased Looked Loop (PLL) is not necessary any more. The least mean square (LMS) and recursive least square (RLS) algorithms were used...
A simple way to improve the line power quality in Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) applications by using both the characteristics of its electrical installation and the typical ESP high power supply is presented in this work. A multi-pulse system is built by selecting a combination of suitable MV/LV distribution transformers, preserving the simplicity and reliability of the typical ESP installation...
In this article the distortions caused by the pulsed operation of a group of power supplies (PS) feeding an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) are investigated, and means for improving the line power quality are proposed. In order to reduce the Total Harmonic Distortions (THD) of the line current and also to improve the loading balance between the grid phases for pulsed operation, the pulses of the...
This paper will consider the benefits of neural controllers over model-based current regulators to supervise the current generation of a shunt active power filter. The task consists in generating appropriate compensation currents with a system composed of a voltage source inverter and a low-pass filter. These currents cancel the harmonic terms introduced by nonlinear loads in a power distribution...
Conventional control strategies, used in shunt active power filters (SAPF), employ real-time instantaneous harmonic detection schemes which are usually implemented with digital filters. This increases the number of current sensors on the filter structure which results in high cost. Furthermore, these detection schemes introduce time delays which can deteriorate the harmonic compensation performance...
This paper realizes an exhaustive analysis and comparative study about the different existing techniques up to now in order to develop repetitive-based controllers applied to selective harmonic compensation in shunt active power filters. Starting from the generic repetitive controller, the advantages and drawbacks of the different versions that have arisen from the original model are compared. The...
With the progress of “More Electric Aircraft”, power capacity of aircraft electric power system is increased. It is not easy for the power-quality characteristics of the system to be in compliance with the harmonic standards by using traditional method to compensate the harmonics introduced by the nonlinear load. Active power filter (APF) gets increasing usage in 50Hz power system for its high performance...
Shunt Active Power Filters (APFs) have been proved useful to correct distorted currents caused by nonlinear loads in power distribution systems. This paper presents a dual-repetitive control algorithm, which consists of one fundamental repetitive period to ensure the APFs' high tracking precision of both even and odd harmonics, and the other harmonic repetitive period to enhance the dynamic response...
Hybrid control approach for pq instantaneous power theory applied to the 3-phase 4-wire active power filter is proposed. The control methods lead to a simple technique inherited from the conventional direct control method and offer a good dynamic response for active filtering in power system. With the goal to simplify the implementation, 2 methods- i.e. best vector selection and angle-based vector...

This paper deals with a unique combination of two inverters those may work as an active power filter (APF) or a STATCOM. Two inverters are switched at different frequencies. The low frequency inverter takes care of the reactive power demand of the system and makes the source current in phase with the voltage, while, the high frequency inverter mostly compensates for the harmonics. In the limiting...
Shunt Active Power Filters (APFs) are suitable to compensate current-type harmonics generated by nonlinear load, but large power and high compensation precision is difficult to be obtained due to low switching frequency of high power switch devices e.g. IGBTs and phase lag of digital control loop. In this paper, a high equivalent switching frequency is obtained in spite of low real switching frequency...
This paper presents a method to minimize the losses and the magnetic cores volume in a single-phase active power filter based in a two stages grid-connected PV system. The proposed circuit injects PV generated power into the utility, and always acts as an active power filter to compensate load harmonics and reactive power such that the input power factor is very high independently of the solar radiation...
