A Matlab-Simulink Approach To Shunt Active Power Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the wide spread of power electronics equipment in modern electrical systems, the increase of the harmonics disturbance in the ac mains currents has became a major concern due to the adverse effects on all equipment. This paper presents the analysis and simulation using Matlab Simulink of a three-phase four wire neutral clamped active power filter (APF) compensating the harmonics and reactive power created by nonlinear balanced and unbalanced low power loads in steady state and in transients. The usefulness of the simulation approach to APF is demonstrated so APF designers have a better insight using Matlab Simulink in order to develop new APFs.

متن کاملPower quality improvement with a shunt active power filters using MATLAB / Simulink
Abstract: Along with the increasing demand on improving power quality i.e generally defined as any change in power (voltage, current, or frequency) that interferes with the normal operation of electrical equipment, the most popular technique that has been used is Active Power Filter (APF); This is because Passive filters performance is limited to a few harmonics and they can introduce resonance...
متن کاملA Novel Approach in Design of a Fuzzy Based Shunt Active Power Filter for the Enhancement of Power Quality
Active power filters most of the times are employed for elimination of the harmonics created by non-linear loads in power system and for reactive power compensation of linear and non-linear loads. Compensating current is sent by shunt active power filter (SAF) at Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to mitigate current harmonics in the line. Hence sinusoidal nature of current and voltage waveforms ar...
