Modulated model predictive current control for H-bridge two-level single phase active power filters STATCOM

Harmonics mitigation and non‐ideal voltage compensation utilising active power filter based on predictive current control

“…Therefore, the presence of voltage unbalances, and harmonics can adversely affect the distributed generators as well as the power system in the microgrid applications. Compensator devices [4, 8], such as APF [27], can compensate for these abnormal conditions and enhance the power quality to meet the grid requirements. Many control structures and algorithms are proposed and evaluated as in [11, 28].…”

“…Each method has its pros and cons, as presented in [11, 29, 31]. Moreover, several works have discussed the power converter controller, as presented in [2–4, 9, 20, 32]. The new control structure in this study is utilising the predictive control and compare it with a similar structure using the space vector control as explained in the previous section.…”

“…1, known as active power filter (APF) is developed to replace the passive filters. Various studies have surveyed and reviewed APFs from different perspectives [1–5]. Some review studies categorised the APF operation based on the mitigation approaches, and some of them classified it based on the converter type, applied topology, control algorithms, and designed applications.…”
