This paper proposes a new method of sliding mode base controller for shunt active power filter to compensate the harmonic currents of a load. In this controller there isn't any need to PI DC voltage controller to regulate the DC capacitor voltage of shunt active power filter. In this method, first the reference currents of shunt active power filter that should be tracked to reduce or eliminate ...

This paper deals with a three-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), with a combination of shunt active power filter and series active power filter is used to eliminate supply current harmonics, compensate reactive power, voltage sag and voltage swell compensation on distribution network. The performance of the active power filter mainly depends on control strategy used to generate ref...

This paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with Random PWM technique (RVSC) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. This control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic, PI, average current controlled shunt active power filter used to compensate for harmonic distortion in three-phase four-wire systems. The shunt active filter employs a simple method for the calculation of the reference compensation current based on Fast Fourier Transform. The presented Shunt Active Power filter is able to operate in balanced, unbalanced and Va...

Although LCL filters are used widely in the grid connected inverters to reduce high-orderharmonics, such a system increases system order and therefore sustainable design of closed-loopcontroller system will be complicated. Recently, the single-loop control strategy has beensuggested for L or LC filter based grid-connected inverters. However, the use of single-loopcontrol directly in LCL filter-...

This paper presents a three-phase hybrid power filter based on artificial intelligence control approach. It consists of C-type passive filter in parallel with a shunt active filter that is controlled by an adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller. The active filter is based on a three-phase voltage inverter with six control switches. The AC side of the filter is connected in par...
