This paper proposes a novel current control strategy on active power filters using PQR instantaneous power theory which can compensate the line current harmonics and the neutral line current under the unbalanced and/or distorted source conditions in three-phase four-wire systems. The characteristics of the inverter ac filters are analyzed and a novel digital controller are proposed to overcome the inherent time delay problem in digital controllers with designed control gain in this paper. The proposed current control method is based on a sinusoidal PWM for fully-digital implementation compared with a conventional hysteresis PWM. PSiM simulation results verify the good performance of the proposed current control strategy on shunt type APFs.

In this paper, the current controlled active poler filter(APF) with the performance of reducing harmonic and improving power factor is studied. It has high speed and good performance with low cost. The current controlled shunt APF is proposed, and the control part of APF is designed of SOC(System On Chip). So this system has low expense and good performance. In this study, the micro-controller which designed with VHDL. is applied to APF system. And the proposed technique in this paper demonstrates the excellent of the dedicated micro-controller. VHDL-based ASIC can simplify the process of development and has a competition in market because it reduces the consuming time for the design of IC(Integrated Circuit) in system level.

This paper propose the advanced topology of UPQC, its DC link is connected with Lithium battery, to compensate the momentary interruptions. The proposed system can be operated as UPS mode using the parallel inverter, which control the charge or discharge of battery, in case of the interruption. We dvelop 100kVA UPQC using the proposed topology to rise the power quality and the reliability of Microgrid. We verify its usefulness through voltage compensation test, UPS operation test and etc. using Microgrid test facility.

This paper proposes a modified control strategy to improve the performance of three-phase four-leg shunt active power filters (APFs) for the compensation of three phase unbalanced loads. Unbalanced current cannot be obtained accurately by a harmonic detector due to the lower frequency. The proposed control strategy eliminates conventional harmonic detectors by directly regulating the source current. Therefore, the computational complexity is greatly reduced and the performance of the APF is improved. A mathematic model has been developed based on the source currents. The corresponding controllers have been designed based on the sinusoidal internal model principle. The proposed control strategy can guarantee excellent compensation performance and stable operation after an extreme disturbance such as a short circuit fault. In addition, the proposed technique can selectively compensate specific harmonics. A 50kVA prototype APF is implemented in the laboratory to validate the feasibility and performance of the proposed control strategy.

Islanding is the electrical phenomenon in a part of a power network disconnected from the utility, where the loads are entirely supplied by PV systems, and where the voltage and frequency are maintained around nominal values. But islanding may result in power-quality issues, interference to grid-protection devices, equipment damage, and even personnel safety hazards[4]. Therefore, islanding must be detected and stopped. The existing anti-islanding methods have NDZ(None-detection Zone) or power quality degradation. But PV-AF power generation system has the function of not only shunt active filter but also anti-islanding method without NDZ. In this paper, It is proved that PV-AF system has originally the function of anti-islanding without not only NDZ and but current distortion
