A novel topology for efficient utilization of parallel inverters as current source active power filter (APF) for high-power applications is presented and analyzed. The proposed technique operates the master inverter with high-power low-switching-frequency devices to compensate the low-order large-amplitude current harmonic components and the slave inverter with low-power high-switching-frequency devices to compensate the high-order small-amplitude current harmonic components. This paper discusses the operating principle, main circuit and control system design. Simulation and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the viability of the scheme.

This paper presents a new hysteresis current control method for APF(active power filter) that can reduce switching losses effectively by means of adjusting the hysteresis band width according to the current size. On one hand, this method adjust the overall hysteresis band width according to the size of absolute norm of three-phase current that optimize the overall switching frequency, reduce the total switching losses effectively. On the other hand, it adjust hysteresis band width of each phase by comparing the output reference current to reduce the switching times which switching losses is larger, while increasing the switching frequency which switching losses is smaller, so as to maintain overall control precision. Computer simulation is conducted on an electromagnetic transient program. The results show that the new method can effectively reduce the switching losses under the same control accuracy and total switching frequency.

Abstract This study presents a highly reliable 3-phase 4-wire, three dual-buck full-bridge shunt active power filter (3 DB FB APF) for distribution system. The proposed topology uses three single phase dual buck full bridge inverter sharing the same dc-link capacitor with high utilization of dc-bus voltage. The dual buck inverter circuit composed of one power switch and one diode leg instead of two power switches conventional inverter leg effectually eliminate the undesirable “shoot-through” phenomenon occurs in conventional inverter circuit. The fuzzy and adaptive hysteresis current controller based id-iq control strategy has been adopted to generate optimized switching frequency. For validation, the proposed topology is implemented in the OPAL-RT LAB using OP5142-Spartan 3 FPGA. The dynamic performance of the proposed 3 DB FB APF is assessed for sinusoidal, unbalanced and non-sinusoidal voltage source condition with unbalanced non-linear load that is when both three-phase and single-phase loads are present in the system. Besides, the results with proportional-integral (PI) controller are compared with FLC in terms of harmonic compensation. Furthermore, a comparison has been made between split capacitor dual buck half bridge active power filter (2C DB HB APF) and proposed 3 DB FB APF based on switch power rating.

waveforms of voltage and current are distorted and requirement of reactive power increase due to developing use of non-linear and time-varying loads. Harmonic distortion is recognized to be sources of a number of problems, such as increase in power losses, unnecessary heating, harmonic resonances in the utility, communication obstruction, flash and clear noise, inaccurate operation of susceptible loads [1, 2]. Conventionally, LC tuned passive filters absorb generated vocal currents due to nonlinear loads. Their primary benefit is more reliability with reduced cost. However, passive filters have a number of demerits like which may be the source of harmonic interface with the utility system, in the existence of inflexible value of fine-tuning LC filter is necessary and could not meet the predetermined harmonic current restrictions [3, 4]. This gives the inspiration to the exploration of an active power filter methodology, which is sensibly viable, cost valuable and can gather the suggested standard for large power nonlinear loads. Due to the high rating and large switching-frequency constraint of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverters are used for high-power applications

In the article is presented a single-phase series active power filter (SFSAPF) designed to compensate the total harmonic distortion (THD) factor of the supply network voltage. Particular attention is paid to the work of the output capacitor of the passive filter, and dependencies for the design of the filter at hysteresis voltage control are presented. The value of the higher harmonics of the current through the filter capacitor is determined. A mathematical relationship between the voltage ripple of the capacitor, its value and the switching frequency is derived. As a result of the advanced research a methodology for designing the output filter of a single-phase serial active power filter has been proposed. The results from computer simulation and experiment are also given.

In this paper, the four leg inverter controlled by the three dimensional space vector modulation (3D SVM) is used as the shunt active power filter (SAPF) for compensating the three phase four wire electrical network, by using the four leg inverter with 3D SVM advantages to eliminated zero sequence current, fixed switching frequency of inverter switches, and reduced switching losses. This four leg inverter is employed as shunt active power filter to minimizing harmonic currents, reducing magnitude of neutral wire current, eliminating zero sequence current caused by nonlinear single phase loads and compensating reactive power, and a nonlinear sliding mode control technique (SMC) is proposed for harmonic currents and DC bus voltage control to improve the performances of the three phase four wire four leg shunt active power filter based on Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory in the dq0 axes, and to decoupling the four leg SAPF mathematical model.
