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.

In this work, we represent a shunt active power filter (SAPF) based on a serial three-phase flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMI) controlled by a Petri Nets representation (PNs). This structure is chosen for its significant performances. In fact, the use of the FCMI within the SAPF makes it possible to increase the apparent switching frequency of the structure in order to reduce the value then the volume and weight of the inductance of the output filter. Besides, the FCMI allows the synthesis of a high-voltage signal using low-voltage semiconductor components. Therefore, improving the reliability of this structure leads to the improvement of the dynamics of the SAPF. This paper deals with a new control methodology based on PNs to regulate the flying capacitor voltages and the reference currents issued by the instantaneous active and reactive power theory. Compared to a conventional SAPF composed by a classical two-level inverter and controlled by a simple PWM control, simulation results demonstrate that our proposed control enhances the dynamic system and the power quality by reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) satisfying the limits of IEEE standards.

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 arrives at a method of harmonic and reactive current real-time detection applied on active power filter based on the three-phase circuit instantaneous reactive power theory. With Matlab simulation software, a research on simulation of harmonic detection means is carried out, and an analysis of the simulation result is presented. The result indicates: the harmonic detection means based on instantaneous reactive power theory can detect harmonic and reactive component in three-phase current precisely and real-time, to supply reliable harmonic and reactive current for harmonic restraint and reactive power compensation. It could provide reliable indicator parameters for research and development of active power filter.
