This review provides a survey of shunt active power filter based on inverter in three phase four wire system. These topologies are applied to solve problem due to non linear load in power system network such as a power quality issue, reactive power compensation and harmonic current suppression. In making a review it should be noted that this paper will not attempt to give an all encompassing re...

This paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. The proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (STF) and without us...

Abstract—This paper presents comparative study and implementation of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to eliminate harmonics and reactive power compensation in a single-phase to threephase converter system. The proposed configuration solves typical problems encountered in remote rural area applications, where only a single-phase supply is available and there is a demand for three-phase ...

This paper presents a active filter topology and its control technique. Active power filter topology is the most efficient way to compensate reactive power and lower order harmonics generated by non linear loads. The shunt active power filter was consider to be the most basic configuration for the APF. Different techniques have been applied to obtain a control signal for the active filters. One...

This paper presents a harmonics extraction algorithm using artificial intelligent method for shunt active power filter. Generally, Fourier Transform is used to analyze a distorted wave from power line and low pass filter is used to eliminate the fundamental wave before each harmonics component is detected. This conventional approach is difficult to implement due to the complicated process. In o...

This paper explains the dynamic behaviour of ant colony optimization based Hybrid Active Power Filter (HAPF) accomplished for harmonic compensation under varying source/load conditions. ACO based controller is employed to extract fundamental component of current from non-sinusoidal currents of the considered supply system. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a novel searching technique used in opt...

The dynamic and static performance of the Shunt Active Filter depends strongly on adopted control methods. This paper deals with Virtual Flux Based Direct Power Control Methods for Shunt Active. Two commonly used VF-DPC algorithms (Fuzzy-DPC and classical DPC) are presented and discussed with respect to the resulting switching frequency, the harmonics compensation, the spectrum of the current s...

With the widespread use of harmonic generating devices, the control of harmonic currents to maintain a high level of power quality is becoming increasingly important. An effective way for harmonic suppression is the harmonic compensation by using active power filter. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of active power filter (APF) control strategies put forward recently. It is aimed at p...
