With an electrical grid shifting toward Distributed Generation (DG), the emerging use of renewable energy resources is continuously creating challenges to maintain an acceptable electrical power quality thought-out the grid; Therefore, in an energy market where loads are becoming more and more sensitive in a distributed generation filled with polluting nonlinear loads, power quality improvement devices such Active Power Filters (APFs) have to evolve to meet the new standards, since theirs conventional control strategies can't properly operate when multiple power quality problems happens at once, even the one using AI based control as it will be proven in this paper. In this paper a neural network based Active Power Filter will be tested in a DG environment where both current and voltage harmonics, along with fast frequency variation occurs, we will see how the PLL can downgrade its performances enormously under such hostile conditions, We propose to solve this problem by replacing the conventional PLL with a nonlinear least square (NLS) frequency estimator, this novel NLS-ADALINE SAPF is immune in high DG penetration environment, as it will be tested and validated experimentally on an Opal-RT OP5600 FPGA based real-time simulator.

Adaptive neural network (ANN) topology-based control is proposed in this paper for three phase three wire shunt active power filter (SAPF) application. The proposed controller improves power quality and compensates harmonic components. The system includes a current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) using three phase insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT), a DSP module for generating regulated pulse width modulated (PWM) pulse and reference DC bus. The increase in nonlinear load applications has raised power quality issues. SAPF has emerged as one of the best solutions to improve power quality. Application of ANN in SAPF eliminates the need for unit template generation and the tuning requirement of phase locked loop (PLL), as required in traditional SAPF. The proposed ANN based SAPF can be dynamically regulated for minimum harmonic contamination. The results were obtained and verified in Matlab/ Simulink platform.

Active power filter, a good alternativeforeasing power quality problems. APF can provide an effective solution for the removal of hormonic current present in power system. The performance of shunt APF depends on technique used to generate reference current, controlling method used and topology of inverter under consideration. In this paper a fuzzy logic-based control scheme was presented to generate reference signal for hysteresis current controller of three phase VSI. Unit template based control algorithm for control signal generation and fuzzy logic controller was used to replace PI controller to improve performance. The proposed system is very much capable in maintaining and improving power quality at distribution side. The shunt APF performance was analysed with SIMULATION model under balanced condition and outcome obtained satisfactory in improving the power quality.

A new control strategy for active power filters is proposed, modeled and implemented in order to improve the power quality of a line commutated converter High voltage DC link. The ability of reactive power and harmonics reductions are generally met by using passive and active power filters. In this paper, modified active power filter with a modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is used to minimize the source harmonics and force the AC supply current to be in the same phase with AC voltage source at both sending and receiving sides of a line commutated converter high voltage DC link. Therefore, it is considered as power factor corrector and harmonics eliminator with random variations in the load current. The modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is applicable for active power filter based on a three-phase five-level and seven-level cascaded H-bridge voltage source inverter. Simulation results show that the suggested modified multilevel active power filters improve total harmonics distortion of both voltage and current with almost unity effective power factor at both AC sides of high voltage DC link. Therefore, modified active power filter is an effective tool for power quality improvement and preferable for line commutated converter high voltage DC link at different load conditions.
