active filters have proven to be more effective than passive techniques to improve power quality and to solve harmonic and power factor problems due to nonlinear loads. this paper proposes a control scheme based on the instantaneous active and reactive power. the inverter of this active filter is a three-phase, two-level converter. space vector technique is used as modulators and pattern genera...

this paper presents a new control methodology for active power filters that provide an adaptive online harmonic estimation with partial and selective harmonic reduction schemes, which has been implemented within an integrated controller. the proposed approach is to provide partial and selective reduction of those individual harmonics which exceed the recommended levels as set by regulatory bodi...

in this research, active capacitance circuit and the feature of negative resistance are analysed in details. also, a new active filter is presented based on active capacitance circuit. for simulations, we used matlab and advanced design system(ads). proposed active filter (rf) is a narrow band filter. the results of simulation shows some aspects of sustainability and low noise feature. the circ...

this paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with random pwm technique (rvsc) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. this control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

In recent years, active filters have been considered and developed for elimation of harmonics in power networks. Comparing with passive, they are smaller and have better compensating characteristics and resistance to line distortions. In this paper, a novel idea based on adaptive filter theory in presented to develop an active filter to eliminate the distortions of an arbitrary signal. Using th...
