Shunt active power filter (SAPF) has now become a well-known sophisticated technology to overcome current harmonics and reactive power compensation issues. In this paper a technical review of various control strategies for operation of SAPF has been presented. Control strategies such as reference current generation by time domain, frequency domain and soft computing approaches; voltage control for dc link voltage regulation and current control for generating switching patterns for voltage source inverter has been discussed. This paper aims to provide a broad understanding on SAPFs for various research and engineering applications.

The widespread use of power electronics in industrial, commercial and even residential electrical equipment like non-linear loads causes deterioration of the quality of the electric power supply with distortion of the supply voltage and in order to mitigate this quality the shunt active power filter (SAPF) is the suitable and effective solution for harmonic elimination and reactive power compensation and lead to power quality (PQ) improvement, therefor an effective and accurate current control technique is needed in order for a SAPF where control algorithm is the heart for SAPF to perform this function and its dynamic performance is mainly depends on these control strategy. This paper proposes three different current control strategies (CCS) based on instantaneous power theory and generalized fryze theory which used for the generation or extraction of the accurate reference current signals which comparing with the actual signals through hysteresis current technique (HCT) to produce suitable gating signals for SAPF and discusses the performance for these controllers when the supply bus voltage is distorted with scope on the efficient control algorithm. Matlab / Simulink simulation results are presented to validate the control strategy and demonstrate the effectiveness of SAPF to provide mitigation of power quality problems for non-linear load to reach an acceptable value comply with recommended standards.

Nowadays the number of non linear loads in power systems is increasing dramatically. These non linear loads inject harmonic currents and voltage which makes the supply currents non-sinusoidal. These harmonics are eliminated via an active power filter. The reference currents are generated by shunt active filter which is provided to compensate harmonic currents demanded by the load. Different current control strategies are implemented to improve the performance of shunt active power filter. These techniques are useful in making the supply currents sinusoidal. The performance of the current control techniques are different from each other. The %THD can be reduced with the aid of shunt active power filter. In this paper, different current control schemes are analyzed and their outputs are compared to determine the effectiveness. The most effective current controller generates less %THD. The power quality of the system is improved with the reduction of %THD. The different current controllers which are compared in this paper are GA controller and PI-VPI controller.Under analysis, the PI-VPI controller is found to be effective.

In this paper presents a comparative analysis of two control method applied to a single phase Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF). It is about Model Predictive Control (MPC) based Direct Current Control (DCC) and Indirect Current Control (IDCC) strategy. The performances of two current control strategies were verified through a simulation with MATLABSimulink Software. Simulation results confirmed that compared to the DCC strategy, the IDCC strategy using MPC becomes simpler and need less hardware components.

This paper presents the use of a three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter to improve the power quality in the Department of Industrial Electronics of a large enterprise from Romania. The specificity is given by the predominant existence of single-phase consumers (such as personal computers, printers, lighting and AC equipment). In order to identify the power quality indicators and ways to improve them, an A-class analyzer was used to record the electrical quantities and energy parameters in the point of common coupling (PCC) with the nonlinear loads for 27 h. The analysis shows that, in order to improve the power quality in PCC, three goals must be achieved: the compensation of the distortion power, the compensation of the reactive power and the compensation of the load unbalance. By using the conceived three-leg shunt active power filter, controlled through the indirect current control method in an original variant, the power quality at the supply side is very much improved. In the proposed control algorithm, the prescribed active current is obtained as a sum of the loss current provided by the DC voltage and the equivalent active current of the unbalanced load. The performance associated with each objective of the compensation is presented and analyzed. The results show that all the power quality indicators meet the specific standards and regulations and prove the validity of the proposed solution.
