Simulation and Analysis of a Three-phase Shunt Active Power Filter

Modelling of Three-phase Shunt Hybrid Active Power Filter

The three-phase Shunt hybrid APF topology for harmonic mitigation in low and medium voltage power distribution systems consists of a VSI based three phase shunt active filter (SAF) and tuned passive filters (TPF) connected in parallel with the load. This chapter discusses the modelling of shunt active filter and design of filter interfacing inductor, DC bus capacitor, tuned passive filters. It ...

Compensation Strategies for Shunt Active Power Filter in Single- and Three-Phase Systems: Different Formulation, Comparison and Evaluation

Design and Simulation of Three Phase Shunt Active Power Filter Using SRF Theory

Active power filters are widely used for the reduction of harmonics in the power system caused by nonlinear loads. The Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) injects a suitable compensating current at a point of the line known as the point of common coupling (PCC) so that the harmonics present in the line are cancelled out and the sinusoidal nature of voltage and current waveforms are restored. A thr...

A Comparative Performance Analysis of Four Control Algorithms for a Three Phase Shunt Active Power Filter

Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPFs) represent the most important and widely used filter in industrial purposes due to the fact that, they not only eliminate the harmonic current with a neglected amount of active fundamental current supplied to compensate system losses, but also they are suitable for a wide range of power ratings. One of the key issues for a proper implementation of an active fil...

On the AC-Side Interface Filter in Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter Systems

The proper selection of the AC-side passive filter interconnecting the voltage source converter to the power supply is essential to obtain satisfactory performances of an active power filter system. The use of the LCL-type filter has the advantage of eliminating the high frequency switching harmonics in the current injected into the power supply. This paper is mainly focused on analyzing the in...
