The main focus of this article is to investigate the effects of Adaptive control on the switching frequency and Total Harmonic Distortion of a modified, minimally switched hysteresis controlled shunt active power filter. Reference current generation was done using Instantaneous real and reactive power algorithm. Pulses to the minimally switched grid interactive inverter in which only two switch...

Converters are used in the utility interface of renewable energy system to reduce harmonic contents in line current/voltage and to increase reliability. These converters suffer from high level of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the utility line currents/voltages which creates a lot of problems in the power system. In this paper selective harmonics are eliminated to reduce the THD, that is, t...

Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) have drawn increasing attention in numerous applications, especially in drives, distributed energy resources area, utility etc. MLIs have the ability to synthesize a near sinusoidal output voltage wave with minimal Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in low frequency switching. Even though they offer lower THD, the presence of lower order harmonics is objectionable and h...

In this paper, an advance repetitive control method (RCM) for fuzzy current control based grid connected inverter with a frequency adaptive capability is proposed. The main objective of the proposed scheme is to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) such that by changing the FIR filter according to varied grid frequency and keeps the resonant frequencies fitting the grid fundamental and harmon...
