This paper introduces a control method of series active power filter that compensate harmonic currents and eliminate a neutral line current in 3 phase 3 wire and 3 phase 4 wire power system with harmonic voltage source. These harmonic currents and neutral line current are caused by a nonlinear loads such as diode rectifiers and thyristor converters. Proposed methode extracts a voltage reference directly from performance function without phase transformation. Therefore, the control method is simpler than any other conventional methods. Experimental results for 3-phase 3-wire and 3-phase 4-wire series active power filter system were shown to verify the effectiveness of this control method.

This paper deals with single-phase unified power quality conditioner, which aims at the integration of series-active and shunt-active tilter. The series filter is used to compensate for the voltage distortions and the shunt filter is used to provide reactive power and counteract the harmonic current injected by the load. Also, the voltage of the DC link capacitor is controlled to a desired value by the shunt active filter. In order to verify the performance of the proposed conditioner, computer simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK were demonstrated. The results confirm that the proposed conditioner shows excellent performance to eliminate the harmonics and voltage flickers generated at the singe-phase nonlinear load.

This paper presents a method for the performance improvement of a shunt active power filter (SAPF) using the indirect current control (ICC) scheme. Compared to the conventional direct current control (DCC) scheme, the ICC gives better performance with a lower number of sensors. A simplified and efficient control algorithm using a low cost Intel 80C196KC microcontroller is implemented using only two current sensors for the source current and one voltage sensor for the DC-link voltage of the SAPF circuit. The objective is to eliminate harmonics and to compensate the reactive power produced by non-linear loads such as an uncontrolled rectifier feeding an inductive load. The APF is realized using a three phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with a dc bus capacitor. Experimental results are presented to prove the better performance of the ICC method over the DCC one.

본 논문애서는 비선형부하에서 발생하는 고조파 문제와 역률 저하 문제의 해결을 위한 능동필터를 제연하었다. 인버터와 수동필터로 구성된 능동전력필터 비선형부하에 병렬로 위치하고 전압제어방식으로 동작된다. 제안된 전압제어방식은 기존의 전류제어행 방식에 비해 입럭전압 변동에 강인한 특성을 갖는다. 능통전력필터의 작용으로 부하에 필요한 유효전력은 상용전원에서 공급되며 능동진력필터는 무효전력을 공급하에 입력 역률을 개선하­였다. 또한 부하전압을 정현적으로 유지함ㅇ 따라서 부하전압, 입럭전류 고조파 성분이 저감되있다. 본 논문에서 전압제어용 제어기의 구조를 딘순화하여 전체 시스템의 안정성을 높였다. 다수의 시뮬레이션과 실제 실험을 통하여 제안된 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a new compensating system, consisting of series and shunt active filters, for mitigating voltage and current disturbances. The shunt filter is used to compensate for unbalanced and distorted load currents. The series filter comprises two inverters, used to suppress voltage disturbances and handle source currents independently. This configuration is devised to reduce the overall cost of active compensators by using low-frequency high-current switches for the latter inverter. The filters are controlled separately using a novel control strategy. Since voltages at the point of common coupling contain interharmonics, conventional methods cannot be used for extracting voltage references. Therefore, voltage references are obtained from generated sinusoidal waveforms by a phase-locked loop. Current references are detected based on rotating frame vector mapping. Simulation results are presented to verify the system.

Direct Power Control technique has become popular in the grid connected Voltage Source Converter (VSC) applications due to its simplicity, direct voltage vector selection and improved dynamic performance. In this paper, a direct method to determine the effect of voltage vector on the instantaneous active and reactive power variations is developed. An alternative Look Up Table is proposed which minimizes the commutations in the converter and results in minimum reactive power variation. The application of suggested table is established for Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) application. The Predictive Direct Power Control method, which minimizes apparent power variation, is further investigated to reduce commutations in converters. Both the methods are validated using 2 kVA laboratory prototype of Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF).

This paper propose the control algorithm for improving the power quality through the voltage compensation when source voltage is dropped. The algorithm signified occurrence of voltage drop in source voltage of each phase storing source voltage for two cycles using the concept of moving average and using the source voltage of last half cycle. If there are voltage drops in the source voltages, series active power filter compensates the differences between reference waveform and source voltage waveform. Therefore, voltage drop is compensated. It proposed series active power filter of three phases three lines to apply to the proposed algorithm and the presented experiment results verified logicality and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A three-phase three-level shunt active filter controlled by fuzzy logic current controller which can compensate current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads is presented. Three-level inverters and fuzzy controllers have been successfully employed in several power electronic applications these past years. To improve the conventional pwm controller performance, a new control scheme based on fuzzy current controller is adopted for three-level (NPC) shunt active filter. The scheme is designed to improve compensation capability of APF by adjusting the current error using a fuzzy rule. The inverter current reference signals required to compensate harmonic currents use the synchronous reference detection method. This technique is easy to implement and achieves good results. To maintain the dc voltage across capacitor constant and reduce inverter losses, a proportional integral voltage controller is used. The simulation of global system control and power circuits is performed using Matlab-Simulink and SimPowerSystem toolbox. The results obtained in transient and steady states under various operating conditions show the effectiveness of the proposed shunt active filter based on fuzzy current controller compared to the conventional scheme.

A conventional parallel hybrid active filter has an inherent problem of large current ratings of devices used in inverter. In general, this problem has been solved by adjusting turn ratio of a matching transformer. However, making the transformer with high turn ratio may be not available for high power system due to its requirement for high voltage insulation. In this paper, a new configuration is proposed for parallel hybrid active filter. In the proposed hybrid active filter, the active filter is connected to the passive filter inductor in parallel through a matching transformer for the aim of reducing the size of inverter. Through computer simulations, we have shown the outstanding performances of the proposed topology.

비선형 반도체 전력변화장치의 사용이 급증함에 따라 전원 측에 발생되는 고조파 및 무효전력을 보상하기 위한 능동전력필터에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔으며 실용화를 위한 노력이 계속 되고 있다. 그러나 수동필터 대비 능동전력필터의 가격이 아직까지는 고가이기 때문에 이의 상용화가 더디게 진전되고 있는 추세이며, 특히 소·중용량의 능동전력필터의 제어를 위하여 디지털 신호 처리용 프로세서인 DSP(digital signal processor)를 사용하는 경우 아직까지 그 가격이 고가이기 때문에 능동필터의 제어가격을 상승시키는 요인으로 작용한다. 한편 능동전력필터의 가격을 낮추기 위해 아날로그 제어기만을 도입하는 경우 제어회로가 너무 복잡해 지고 제어의 유연성이 떨어지는 단점을 수반하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 3상 5[kVA]급 농동전력필터의 저가형 제어기를 구현하기 위해 저가의 원칩 마이크로프로세서인 80C196KC를 사용하영 디지털 제어부를 구성하며 이를 통해 보상전류 성분의 계산 및 직류단 일정 전압제어를 수행하고, 능동필터 시스템의 전류제어를 위하여 아날로글 형태의 제어기인 히스테리시스 제어기를 함께 사용한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 보상 시스템의 특성을 해석하였으며 실험에 의해 능동전력필터의 저가화를 위해 설계된 제어기가 고조파 및 무효전력 보상을 충실히 수행함을 확인하였다.
