The power quality issues are of great concern now a days. The increasing use of power electronic devices based nonlinear loads deteriorate the quality of power. Power electronic appliances are widely used in industrial, commercial and utility system thus leading to various power quality problems. This leads to harmonics being injected into the distribution system and also reactive power burden....

The active power filter has been proved to be an effective method to mitigate harmonic currents generated by nonlinear loads as well as to compensate reactive power. The methods of harmonic current detection play a crucial part in the performance of active power filter (APF). This paper presents a new control strategy in which two shunt active power filter configurations are developed in order ...

In this paper introduces a PV based generation system interlinked with shunt active power filter (SAPF) to provide the effective reactive compensation and mitigation of harmonics. The SAPF is comprised photovoltaic system, DC link capacitor voltage source inverter (VSI). current harmonics caused by nonlinear loads can be greatly reduced help filter. To generate reference regulation SAPF, artifi...

This review provides a survey of shunt active power filter based on inverter in three phase four wire system. These topologies are applied to solve problem due to non linear load in power system network such as a power quality issue, reactive power compensation and harmonic current suppression. In making a review it should be noted that this paper will not attempt to give an all encompassing re...

This paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. The proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (STF) and without us...

Abstract—This paper presents comparative study and implementation of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to eliminate harmonics and reactive power compensation in a single-phase to threephase converter system. The proposed configuration solves typical problems encountered in remote rural area applications, where only a single-phase supply is available and there is a demand for three-phase ...

This paper presents a active filter topology and its control technique. Active power filter topology is the most efficient way to compensate reactive power and lower order harmonics generated by non linear loads. The shunt active power filter was consider to be the most basic configuration for the APF. Different techniques have been applied to obtain a control signal for the active filters. One...

This paper presents a harmonics extraction algorithm using artificial intelligent method for shunt active power filter. Generally, Fourier Transform is used to analyze a distorted wave from power line and low pass filter is used to eliminate the fundamental wave before each harmonics component is detected. This conventional approach is difficult to implement due to the complicated process. In o...
