Shunt active power filter is a complete current source which can provide an effective and adjustable solution for elimination of harmonic currents in power system. Its performance depends on strategy employed in reference current generation, control technique and topology of converter used in the design.[1-2]. In this paper Three Phase Six switch Z-source rectifier with active power filtering capability based on instantaneous reactive power theory is described. Thanking to the theory power factor and THD value are significantly improved. Experiment results and conclusions are presented.

A new 3-phase line-interactive UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) system with parallel-series active power-line conditioning capability using AC line reactor and two four-leg PWM VSCs(Voltage Source Converters) was introduced recently. In this paper, the strategy of voltage control in suggested UPS system is explained. The objective of proposed voltage controllers in parallel(shunt) and series PWM VSC is to guarantee satisfactory characteristics in steady state and transient state. Therefore the experimental results to prototype UPS system having power rating of 60kVA is shown to prove the verification of voltage control strategy.

The main drawback of parallel type active power filters (APFs) is the large capacity required for harmonic compensation. This paper evaluates the APF capacity requirement for harmonic/reactive power compensation for thyristor converter load. Theoretically achievable maximum power factor under partial load is evaluated. it is shown that the APF capacity can be considerably reduced by deliberately limiting the peak current, while maintaining the filtering performance with an acceptable total harmonic current level. the minimum capacity requirement of APF with current limiting is evaluated as a function of the firing angle of thyristor converter and short circuit ratio(SCR).

This paper proposed a novel current control strategy on active power filters using p-q-r instantaneous power theory which can compensate the line current harmonics and the neutral line current in unbalanced and/or distorted source conditions in three-phase four-wire systems. The proposed current control method is based on a sinusoidal PWM for fully-digital implementation which was compared with a hysteresis PWM. Simulation results showed good performance of the proposed current control strategy on shunt type APFs.

A novel control scheme compensating for source voltage unbalance and harmonic current for series active power filters is proposed, where the references for voltage unbalance and current harmonic and phase angle is derived from the positive sequence component of the source voltage obtained simply through digital all-pass filters, which makes the whole control algorithm simpler than other methods using p-q theory. In addition, the harmonic component of source current is compensated by harmonic component of load voltage and therefore fundamental component of source current is considered as separated terms for the control issue. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results.

The application of shunt active power filters (S-APFs) is considered to be the most popular approach for harmonic compensation due to its high simplicity, ease of installation and efficient control. Its functionality mainly depends upon the rapidness and precision of its internally built control algorithms. A S-APF is generally operated in the current controlled mode (CCM) with the detection of harmonic load current. Its operation may not be appropriate for the distributed power generation system (DPGS) due to the wide dispersion of nonlinear loads. Despite the fact that the voltage detection based resistive-APF (R-APF) appears to be more appropriate for use in the DPGS, the R-APF experiences poor performance in terms of mitigating harmonics and parameter tuning. Therefore, this paper introduces a direct harmonic voltage detection based control approach for the S-APF that does not need a remote harmonic load current since it only requires a local point of common coupling (PCC) voltage for the detection of harmonics. The complete design procedure of the proposed control approach is presented. In addition, experimental results are given in detail to validate the performance and superiority of the proposed method over the conventional R-APF control. Thus, the outcomes of this study approve the predominance of the discussed strategy.

An efficient method for the desist of active filters from doubly terminated lossless ladder type passive filters is presented. This technique is based on the linear transformation of network variables from the voltage-current domain to a new domain for the active realization of the passive networks. The method developed herein applies the linear transformation to a ladder building block which contains both a shunt and a series reactive arm, resulting in the minimization of the number of operational amplifiers required for the active realization. The validity and efficiency of this method are verified by the design of the 8th-order Chebyshev low-pass filter followed by the measurement of its frequency characteristics which fairly agree with the theoretic ones.

Grid connected PV(Photovoltic) generation systems are becoming and actual and general. The power output of PV system is directly affected by the weather conditions. And when AC power supply is needed, power conversion by an inverter and a MPPT control are necessary. The PV power generation system can be treated to a harmonics source for the power distribution system. So, the PV system combined the function of active filter system can be useful applied in power distribution system. AF(Active Filters) intended for harmonic solutions are expending their functions from harmonic compensation of nonlinear loads into harmonic isolation between utilities and consumer. With the test analysis of the proposed control strategy of PV-AF system, the outcome of the test shows the stability and effectiveness of the proposed PV-AF system. The various capability of AF has been proved in previous research and usage. In this paper, authors present a DSP controlled PV-AF system for power conditioning in three-phase industrial or commercial power systems and verify it through experimental results.

The one cycle control (OCC) scheme for active power filters (APFs) has shown excellent harmonic suppression and implementation simplicity. However, its real world application is limited because the non-ideal supply voltage for APFs can influence its performance so that the source currents are still distorted after compensation. This paper proposes a modified one cycle control (MOCC) scheme to improve the performance of three-phase shunt APFs under non-ideal supply voltage conditions. In this paper a detailed mathematical derivation has been presented and the key control law of the MOCC has been developed for adaption to the non-ideal supply voltages, following the control philosophy of simplicity. A relatively simple sequence filter is introduced to extract the harmonic components of supply voltages. The modified scheme can be easily implemented. The proposed control strategy has excellent performance and a 5kVA APF hardware platform has been implemented to validate the feasibility and performance of the proposed strategy.
