This paper describes the application of a new fuzzy based control strategy to a three-phase shunt active power filter for harmonics minimization and reactive power compensation required by a variable non-linear load. To improve dynamic behaviour of shunt active power filter and make it robust under wide range of load variations, the value of load current is considered as an input of fuzzy contr...

The problem of controlling single-phase shunt active power filters is addressed in presence of nonlinear loads. The control objective is twofold: (i) compensation of harmonic and reactive currents absorbed by the nonlinear load, this objective is referred to as power factor correction (PFC); (ii) regulation of the inverter output capacitor voltage. A two-loop cascade control strategy is develop...

The matrix converter (MC) for motor drive applications and energy conversion systems is steadily increasing due to its main advantage of performing a direct coupling between two three-phase alternating current sources without the need of an intermediate direct current bus. The input filters characteristics design for matrix converter system: to reduce the high harmonic components at the main po...

Aiming at the micro-grid deteriorating the distributed network power quality for its features like voltage fluctuation and intermittent, unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is the most effective device for power quality treatment. The voltage sag detection of UPQC based on PI with RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network controller is put forward in the paper. The UPQC topology which inc...

This paper presents a new and simple control strategy to determine reference compensation currents, under balanced and unbalanced source voltages which using the voltage source inverter for harmonic filtering of a three phase shunt active filter. The proposed control system is able to compensate the harmonics and reactive power of the non linear loads. The proposed approach is compared with a r...

With the development of critical loads, power quality problem has become particularly important and poor power quality will be cause many adverse effects and the cost of many deaths will follow. To improve power quality and protection of sensitive loads against grid disturbances have been used new equipment based on power electronics similar FACTs devices, they are Custom Power. One of the most...

While the unified power quality conditioner based on modular multilevel converter (MMC-UPQC) can be used for recovering of voltage and current in high grids, it is difficult to manage when grid imbalance large. In this paper, a passivity-based control (PBC) combined with sliding mode (SMC) proposed MMC-UPQC improve under unbalance systems. First, according structure MMC-UPQC, equivalent mathema...

The energy storage devices are better in a motor drive system. The power distribution strategy for energy source, and energy storage, electric motor under various operation modes. This paper develops energy storage not implementing harmonic compensation in whole operating condition, also consisting peak power during acceleration absorbing regenerative power during deceleration, while comparing ...

unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. while traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...
