This paper deals with the use of triphase shunt active filter which is able to compensate current harmonics, reactive power, and current unbalance produced by nonlinear loads. To perform the identification of disturbing currents, a very simple control method is introduced. It’s formed by a DC voltage regulator and a balance between the average power of load and the active power supplied by the grid. The output current of the voltage source inverter (VSI) must track the reference current. This is done by a neural controller based on a PI-Fuzzy adaptive system as reference corrector. Also to regulate the DC link capacitor voltage a fuzzy logic adaptive PI controller is used.

Due to intensive use of power converters and other non-linear loads, power quality is degrading. The presence of harmonics in the power lines result in greater power losses in distribution, interference problems in communication systems. Non linearity reduces the efficiency and power factor of the system. As the power factor reduces, the reactive power demanded from the supply increases which have no any contribution in energy transfer, so compensation is required. For this, shunt passive filter has been developed but it is bulky and frequency dependent and has many drawbacks. In contrast to passive filter, shunt active filter (SAF) has been developed which is smaller and has wide range of applications. In this paper, shunt active filter based on p-q theory is demonstrated for compensating reactive power and current harmonics. Simulation has been done with and without SAF and results are presented and ended with recommendation and conclusion. An effort is made to reduce the THD of the source current below 5% (specified by IEEE).

In this paper, the effect of the line impedance difference between various inverters on power sharing with the traditional droop control method is fully analyzed. It reveals that the line impedance difference causes a significant reactive power error. An improved droop control method to eliminate the reactive power errors caused by the line impedance errors is proposed. In the proposed method, a voltage compensation determined by the actual reactive power error between the local inverter and the average one is added into the local voltage reference based on the CAN communication. Even when the communication is interrupted, the controller will operate with the last value of the average power, which still outperforms the traditional method. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by simulation and experimental results, which show the proposed method possesses the better power sharing performance and dynamic response.

Commencing with incandescent light bulb, every load today creates harmonics. Unfortunately, these loads vary with respect to their amount of harmonic content and response to problems caused by harmonics. Issue of Harmonics are of a greater concern to engineers, building designers and in industrial applications because they do more than distort voltage waveforms, they can overheat the building wiring, cause nuisance tripping, overheat transformer units, and cause random end-user equipment failures. Thus power quality has become more and more serious with each passing day. As a result active power filter (APF) gains much more attention due to excellent harmonic compensation. But still the performance of the active filter seems to be in contradictions with different control techniques. The main objective of this paper is to analyse shunt active filter with fuzzy and pi controllers. To carry out the analysis, we consider active and reactive power method (p-q). Extensive simulations were carried out; simulations were performed with balance, unbalanced and non sinusoidal conditions. Simulation results validate the dynamic behaviour of fuzzy logic controller over pi controller.

Increasing offshore wind farms are rapidly installed and planned. However, this will pose a bottle neck challenge for long-distance transmission as well as inherent variation of their generating power outputs to the existing AC grid. VSC-HVDC links could be an effective and flexible method for this issue. With the growing use of voltage source converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) technology, the hybrid VSC-HVDC and AC system will be a next-generation transmission network. This paper analyzes the contribution of the multi VSC-HVDC system on the AC voltage stability of the hybrid system. A key contribution of this research is proposing a novel adaptive control approach of the VSC-HVDC as a so-called dynamic reactive power booster to enhance the voltage stability of the AC system. The core idea is that the novel control system is automatically providing a reactive current based on dynamic frequency of the AC system to maximal AC voltage support. Based on the analysis, an adaptive control method applied to the multi VSC-HVDC system is proposed to realize maximum capacity of VSC for reactive power according to the change of the system frequency during severe faults of the AC grid. A representative hybrid AC-DC network based on Germany is developed. Detailed modeling of the hybrid AC-DC network and its proposed control is derived in PSCAD software. PSCAD simulation results and analysis verify the effective performance of this novel adaptive control of VSC-HVDC for voltage support. Thanks to this control scheme, the hybrid AC-DC network can avoid circumstances that lead to voltage instability.

This paper presents the collective operation and comparative assessment of artificial neural network (ANN)-based adaptive controller with detuned-inductor capacitor (LC) filter facility in grid-tied voltage source control (VSC) system. In order to facilitate proper shaping of VSC outputs and to avoid voltage surge or current surge issues that may occur during the synchronization, the controlling action should reflect importance of total impedance (Zt) effect for: (i) accurate online weight updating, (ii) generation of correct references for proper shaping of VSC outputs, (iii) accurate assessment and exclusion of current harmonics and (iv) robust in defending any system perturbation. This impedance is taken into consideration during the run-time weight updation process through extended control steps in order to pass over various losses that certainly occurs in transformers, filters, line parameters and so forth. Performance of the system is well improved with an inclusion of total impedance (Zt) measured between the VSC and point of common coupling (PCC). A detuned-LC filter is predominantly intended for reactive power compensation, power factor correction, prompt and accurate alleviation of the harmonics. A comparative assessment in between enhanced and conventional adaptive controllers that are designed in MATLAB/Simulink clarifies the robust performances of the proposed control design under sundry system turbulences. The verification of the proposed enhanced controller is approved with the hardware results obtained using dSPACE RTI 1202 kit.

In this paper unified power quality conditioner has been used to enhance low voltage ride through capability of grid connected wind conversion system taking Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Unified Power quality conditioner (UPQC) device is a combination of series active filter and shunt active filter. This custom power device is mainly used to mitigate power quality issues which is an essential factor today because of wide application of power electronics devices. UPQC is capable to deal with voltage and current imperfection simultaneously.
