An active power filter implemented with a four-leg voltage-source inverter using a predictive control scheme is presented. The use of a four-leg voltagesource inverter allows the compensation of current harmonic components, as well as unbalanced current generated by single-phase nonlinear loads. A detailed yet simple mathematical model of the active power filter, including the effect of the equ...

This paper presents the performance analysis of a hybrid filter composed of passive and active filters connected in series. The analysis is done by evaluating the influence of passive filter parameters variations and the effects that different active power filter’s gain have in the compensation performance of the hybrid scheme. The compensation performance is quantified by evaluating the attenu...

The active power filter has been proved to be an effective method to mitigate harmonic currents generated by nonlinear loads as well as to compensate reactive power. The methods of harmonic current detection play a crucial part in the performance of active power filter (APF). This paper presents a new control strategy in which two shunt active power filter configurations are developed in order ...

The project deals with Minimum VA rating handled by a Unified Power Quality Conditioner, which consists of Series and Shunt Active Power Filter. The Series Active Filter is Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which regulates the voltage at the point of common coupling with minimum VA loading. The Shunt Active Filter is Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) which compensates the reactive power ...

With the rapid developments and use of non linear loads, the controlling over the harmonic current to get and maintain power quality is becoming more important. Active power filters has been used to compensate the harmonic pollution in our power system. This paper presents a efficient model to compensate the current harmonics using the inverter based Shunt Active Power Filter, Passive Power Fil...

In this paper, according to the lack of relevant studies based on reactive power compensation, the control method related to this subject has been investigated and applied to the Parallel Hybrid Active Power Filter (P-HAPF). Firstly, the dq base control algorithm is applied for harmonic compensation. Then, the reactive power compensation control which is supplied by active filter of hybrid acti...

Abstract— The active power filters eliminates the harmonic distortion caused by non-linear loads and improves the filtering efficiency performance when compared with the passive filters. This paper inspects about the analysis and simulation of a three phase four wire shunt active power f ilter under unbalanced and distorted load conditions. Current harmonic compensation is achieved by the imple...
