This paper presents a novel three-phase four-wire low power rating flexible hybrid active filter with a power factor, harmonic and neutral currents capability for distribution systems. The passive filter is tuned to compensate the two largest harmonics components and the power factor of the load. A selective algorithm is employed in order to enable the active filter to compensate only the desir...

On-chip automatic tuning circuit with proposed integration level approximation technique, designed in a 0.65m 3.3V CMOS process for tuning of the variation passive component. To verify tunning efficiency of proposed circuit, three types of 2nd-order biquad RC active filters were used. The cut-off frequency (fc) error of filter with proposed tuning circuit can be reduced by new algorithm that co...

Based on a new definition of non-active current/power, this paper presents the application of a parallel active filter for the compensation of non-periodic currents. Analysis of the compensation characteristics required for a variety of non-periodic currents such as those associated with arc furnaces is presented. In addition, the corresponding current rating and energy storage requirements of ...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic, PI, average current 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 Va...

This research work presents the comparison analysis of Shunt Active Filter (SAF) with Parallel Hybrid Active Filter (PHAF). The performances of SAF and PHAF have been analyzed with PI controllers based on Synchronous Reference Frame theory. In each case, simulation is carried out for three phase unbalanced non liner load conditions. The advantages of the designed system and the proposed current...

Switching power converters are widely used due to their excellent efficiency, but they inherently generate ripple. Passive low-pass LC filters have been traditionally employed to meet ripple and EMI specifications [1]. These passive filters can contribute considerably to the volume and weight of a power converter. In particular, capacitors can become relatively large in order to meet strict rip...

This paper presents the performance analysis of a hybrid filter composed of passive and active filters connected in series. The analysis is done by evaluating the influence of passive filter parameters variations and the effects that different active power filter’s gain have in the compensation performance of the hybrid scheme. The compensation performance is quantified by evaluating the attenu...

A system is introduced that increases the information density of textual presentation by reconsidering text as pictures, expanding the range of written expression. Indicating nested associativity with stripes, Zebrackets uses small-scale horizontal striations, superimposed on parenthetical delimi t e r~ . This system is implemented as an active filter that re-presents textual information graphi...

The ever increase of nonlinear loads in electric distribution networks causes many problems due to the high level of harmonic currents. This paper proposes a new technique for controlling a single phase shunt active power filter based on a selective compensation using the newly developed technique of harmonic control arrays. Simulation results confirm the appropriate selective harmonic compensa...
