Active power filter are been widely used for harmonic elimination. Harmonics are generated by nonlinear load in ac distribution system. The active power filters are broadly classified as shunt active power filter, series active power filter and hybrid filters. With regard to circuit topology, there are two basic kinds of active filter, voltage source and current source. The series active power ...

In this paper, we apply the PQ theory with shunt active power filter in an unbalanced and distorted power system voltage to compensate the perturbations generated by non linear load. The power factor is also improved in the current source. The PLL system is used to extract the fundamental component of the even sequence under conditions mentioned of the power system voltage. Keywords—Converter, ...

The trans-admittance-mode (TAM) might act as a transforming bridge for voltage-mode to current-mode conversion. In this study a new low voltage operated electronically tunable TAM biquad filter structure realizing all the seven standard filtering functions namely; low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP), high-pass (HP), regular-notch (RN), low-pass-notch (LPN), high-pass-notch (HPN) and all-pass (AP) fro...

This paper presents a three-phase four-wire Shunt Active Filter that compensates power quality problems and can also interface renewable energy sources with the electric grid. The inverter stage of the active filter is based in a two-level four-leg inverter and its control is based in the Theory of Instantaneous Reactive Power (p-q Theory). The filter is capable of compensating power factor, un...

The shunt active power filter (SAPF) system oscillation is a massive threat to the security and stability of grid. This study classifies SAPF into two categories according difference in mechanisms. one category caused by resonant characteristics switching noise called external loop amplification. other induced presence capacitor load current for self-excited oscillation. Unlike previous studies...
