This paper presents two recursive schemes for current reference generation for shunt active filters under unknown fundamental frequency. The schemes are based on the liner Kalman filter that needs the knowledge of the fundamental frequency. In practice, the fundamental frequency of the power system grid can vary. If it differs from the fundamental frequency considered in the mathematical model ...

Harmonic distortion is a form of electrical noise. It is a superposition of signals, which are of multiples of fundamental frequency. Proliferation of large power electronic systems results in increased harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion results in reduction of power quality and system stability. This paper presents fuzzy control applicable for active power filter for three-phase systems,...

This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...
