The quality of the current waveform generated by a current controlled, voltage source shunt active power filter depends basically on three factors: (i) The reference signal being generated; (ii) the modulation method used and (iii) the switching frequency of the PWM modulator. A new adaptive hysteresis band modulation method is proposed. In this paper, the periodical sampling constant hysteresi...

An effective control scheme for three-phase three-wire active power filter is proposed in this paper. Conventionally, the majority of existing APF control strategies in literature adopts feed-forward control scheme, which results in switching notches (sharp-rising or falling ripples) in the source-side currents at conduction instants of diode/thyristor rectifier load. The proposed method utiliz...

This paper deals with conceptual study of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) during voltage sag and swell on the power distribution network and researches profoundly on the coordinated control of UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner). By analyzing the radical reasons of coupling effect between UPQC series unit and shunt unit, a simple and practical coordinated control strategy for UPQC...

Power Quality means maintaining purely sinusoidal current wave form in phase with a purely sinusoidal voltage wave form throughout in a power system. Due to intensive use of power converters and other non linear loads in industries, an increasing deterioration of the power system voltage and current waveforms has been observed. The most important cause for degrading power quality are harmonic d...

In recent decades, the utilization of highly automatic electric equipments has resulted in enormous economic loss. Thus, the power suppliers as well as the power consumers are very much concerned about the power quality issues and compensation approaches. In order to deal with this issue, Active Power Filter (APF) has been considered as an attractive solution due to its significant harmonic com...
