Intelligent Controllers for Shunt Active Filter to Compensate Current Harmonics Based on SRF and SCR Control Strategies

Abstract

This paper presents a three-phase three-wire shunt active filter based on intelligent controllers to compensate current harmonics. Shunt active filter is the best solution to eliminate harmonics drawn from nonlinear load especially for low power system, the most inverter used is the two-level voltage source. The control strategies adopted to determine the compensation currents are the synchronous reference frame (SRF) detection method and the synchronous current reference (SCR) detection method. To improve the performance of the conventional control scheme based on hysteresis controller and take advantages of intelligent techniques, fuzzy and ANN current controllers are proposed in this paper. To maintain the dc voltage capacitor constant and compensate the inverter losses a proportional integral voltage controller is used. The numerical simulation is developed and performed using MATLAB-Simulink and SimPowerSystemd Toolbox from complete structure including control and power circuits. The obtained results show the simplicity and the effectiveness of the two proposed intelligent current controllers.

High-performance active power filter implementation based on predictive current control

“…The rotation angle is obtained by integration of the estimate angular frequency determined by the PI controller. In order for the PLL to be closed, the estimated rotation angle must be equal to the actual angle of the forward voltage , this can be achieved when the value of is zero [1]. Let's the measured voltages at the connection point of the APF considered as sinusoidal and balanced, given by the following equations:…”

Mitigation of Power Quality Problems in Grid-Interactive Distributed Generation System

“…Due to non-linear and unbalance loads, the transmission line currents (i.e., iabc) consist of harmonics and negative sequence components. Therefore, when they are transformed through abc/dq0 transformation, the real (d) and reactive (q) components consist of dc part and oscillating part as given below [18].…”
