This paper presents a fuzzy logic, PI controlled shunt active power filter used to compensate for harmonic distortion in three-phase systems. The Hybrid active power filter employs a simple method for the calculation of the reference compensation current based on Fast Fourier Transform. The presented Hybrid Active Power filter is able to operate in balanced, load conditions. Classic filters may...

The ever increase of nonlinear loads in electric distribution networks causes many problems due to the high level of harmonic currents. This paper proposes a new technique for controlling a single phase shunt active power filter based on a selective compensation using the newly developed technique of harmonic control arrays. Simulation results confirm the appropriate selective harmonic compensa...

A circuit of a multi-phase active power filter based on multi-stage inverter architecture was introduced. The paper is focused on building the MATLAB / Simulink model of an AC power supply system including a single-phase active power filter with a two-stage inverter. Each stage of the filter uses the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) method. The results confirmed high efficiency of such a compensatin...

A Q-enhanced 8th order CMOS active bandpass filter is presented employing a novel two-stage self-calibration technique. The proposed active filter shows the better out-band attenuation performance than other reported CMOS active bandpass filters. The proposed calibration method enables the stable filtering operation affected by neither the input power variation nor the strong interference power...

A single-phase shunt active power filter is used mainly for the elimination of harmonics in single-phase AC networks. In this paper a single-phase shunt active power filter based on, an indirect control technique is designed and simulated. This control technique is achieved by phase shifting the input signal(voltage/current) by π/2.The overall action of the shunt active power filter to eliminat...

Harmonic resonances may damage equipments and interrupt electric power customers services. Shutdowns may affect seriously harmonic resonant frequencies and may initiate new resonances in distribution power systems. This paper proposes various techniques for damping harmonic resonances in power systems[1-4]. A series reactor should be connected in series with the shunt power factor correction ca...
