This paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized Fryze current, used in Active Power Filter (APF) applications having three different modulation methods. The Hysteresis Band (HB) and first-order Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) as well as the second-order DSM is applied. The power section of the active power filter is viewed as...

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 analyses two schemes of single-stage diode-switched active filters used in new switching power supplies designs to improve the power factor. From the point of view of the power flow, the distortion reduction is based on the improvement of the power conversion processes. Most of the ca/cc switching power supplies consists of two separated parts: a rectifier – in most cases a diode bri...

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...

Recently wide spread of power electronic equipment has caused an increase of the harmonic disturbances in the power systems. The nonlinear loads draw harmonic and reactive power components of current from ac mains. Current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads such as adjustable speed drives, static power supplies and UPS. Thus a perfect compensator is required to avoid the consequences due to...

Current detection is the key to improve the power quality by using the active power filter. From two aspects which are algorithm of principle complexity and compensation for current harmonic content, this paper investigates to analyze and compare two novel harmonic current detection methods called FBD method and dq method. The results show that harmonic current can be well compensated by applic...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic, PI controlled shunt active power filter used to compensate for harmonic distortion in three-phase four-wire systems. The shunt active filter employs a simple method for the calculation of the reference compensation current based on Fast Fourier Transform. The presented Shunt Active Power filter is able to operate in balanced, unbalanced and Variable load condi...

A novel hybrid series active power filter to eliminate harmonics and compensate reactive power is presented and analyzed. The proposed active compensation technique is based in a hybrid series active filter using adaptive Tabu search (ATS) algorithm in the conventional Sinusoidal Fryze voltage (SFV) control technique. Optimization of the conventional Sinusoidal Fryze voltage control technique h...
