The paper presents application of a direct current control (DCC) method in a three-phase parallel active power filter. The shunt active power filter is employed to compensate the fundamental reactive power and harmonic distortion of non-linear loads. Due to its inverter-like topology with known parameters in the filter branch, the predictive DCC method was implemented to reduce the filter commu...

this paper presents a grid connected photovoltaic system, which acts as both power generator and active power filter (apf), based on flying capacitor multicell (fcm) converter. increase in the number of output voltage levels, natural self-balancing of flying capacitors and dc link voltage and lower power rating of components are the main futures of fcm converter compared with conventional multi...

In this work a new control strategy for simulation of three phase power filter for power quality improvement is used .This filter consists of shunt passive LC power filter and series active filter, with nonlinear and linear loads and also with variation in the source impedance. A new control method based on dual formulation of instantaneous reactive power vectorial theory is applied by consider...

With the widespread use of harmonic generating devices, the control of harmonic currents to maintain a high level of power quality is becoming increasingly important. An effective way for harmonic suppression is the harmonic compensation by using active power filter. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of active power filter (APF) control strategies put forward recently. It is aimed at p...
