Chapter 3 gives an account of the performance of adaptive shunt passive filter controlled by the ANN controller. Its performance was tested by simulation and experiments on 3 thyristor converter fed passive load. It was observed that the adaptive shunt passive filter provides the designed amount of reactive power compensation and filters the harmonic components. However, THD in source current ...

This paper presents the optimization of shunt active power filter parameters based on fuzzy logic control. The current active filter control is based on constant, fuzzy hysteresis band techniques, which are employed to derive the switching signals and also to choose the optimal value of the decoupling inductance. The DC voltage controller optimizes the energy storage of the DC capacitor, where ...

Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the responsible cause for deteriorating power quality in the distribution network by, introducing harmonics, propagating voltage flicker and causing unbalance in voltages and currents.
