This article offers a clear and realistic design for an active power filter to increase reliability and power quality of the photovoltaic charging system and a high-penetration electric vehicle distribution system. The MOPSO algorithm is used as the basis for problems with optimization and filter tuning. A typical regular load curve is used to model the warped power grid over a 24-hour cycle to estimate the total harmonic distortion (THD). For structures with high penetration of electric cars, the probability of minimizing THD (for example to five percent) is explored via optimum capacity active shunt filters and shunt capacitors. To maximize general performance of the charging system, the switching systems are re-scheduled. Moreover, to increase the current control accuracy of shunt active filter, the fuzzy logic controller is utilized. The major drawback to new system is that it would have unrestricted billing for entire day to cope with voltage interruption. In MATLAB / SIMULINK, detailed machine setup and control algorithm experiments are simulated. The simulation findings confirm the efficiency and viability of projected shunt active filter to enhance voltage profile and track power performance of photovoltaic charging system.

The excessive of power electronics devices in distribution system has evolved the problem of power quality. This work represents the effective solution of shunt active power filter for eliminating the harmonics to maintain the quality of utility power supply. In the proposed scheme shunt active filter acts as a voltage source and eliminates harmonics by injecting equal but opposite harmonics components at the point of common coupling. Simulation of shunt active filter based on instantaneous reactive has been achieved in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The controllers are being designed with the objective of reducing the THD% in voltage and current available at the nonlinear load terminal of the system. The controller incorporated optimization algorithms based on the artificial intelligence techniques as well. The comparative analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of the controllers in improving the quality factors has been carried out. The distortion level in the output voltage waveforms in both the cases being fed to the load when compared, it is found that proposed hybrid structure of control for the filter is more effective in reducing the distortion as compared to standard PQ theory based architecture. The study concluded that the total harmonic distortion in the voltage output waveform being fed to the load using only PQ theory based online learning algorithm is found to be 1.59 % while in case of the output voltage at the load terminal from the power filter using proposed hybrid algorithm comprising of NN learning with CSA optimizing control and PQ_RLS algorithm for THD reduction the THD% level is 0.43 %.

Rectifier is a non-linier load that causes harmonic distortion in the power system. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) method is an effective method in pressing the magnitude of harmonics in a rectifier application,  it provides an almost sinusoidal input current. However, the variation of loads that supplied by a rectifier cause the harmonics that arise can still beyond the applicable standard. The amount of harmonics in the operating range of a rectifier need to be identified to determine the filter on the input side. In this research article, 3-phase PWM rectifier was designed with hysteresis current control technique using PSCAD software simulation. Harmonic compensation was carried out by applying an active filter based on P-Q theory to reduce the harmonic distortion that occurs in the input current, thus giving a low total harmonic distortion (THD) value. Based on the simulation, 3-phase PWM rectifier operation starting at a power level of 150 kW, giving a THD value above 5-10% by the increasing the amount of  load supplied by the rectifier. The application of active filter based on the P-Q theory is able to compensate harmonics in the input current wave with a THD value below 5% in the rectifier operating range.

This paper addresses the problem of power quality, and the degradation of the current waveform in the distribution network which results directly from the proliferation of the nonlinear loads. We propose to use a five-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter topology for the implementation of the shunt active filter (SAPF). The aim of the SAPF is to inject harmonic currents in phase opposition at the connection point. The identification of harmonics is based on the pq method. A neuro-fuzzy controller based on ANFIS (adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system) is designed for the SAPF. The simulation study is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink and the results show a significant improvement in the quality of energy and a reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) in accordance with IEC standard, IEEE-519, IEC 61000, EN 50160.

In this paper, a DC-link voltage tuning algorithm is introduced to control the shunt active filter (SAF) with sinusoidal and trapezoidal power supplies. The purpose of the proposed optimization algorithm is for tuning the PI controller and reducing the harmonics level. Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is introduced for tuning the gain of the controller and the voltage variation of power converter by using PWM pulses. It regulates the DC-link voltage as per the signal harmonics and the active power loss of the system is reduced. Therefore, the accurate compensation current is injected by the SAF devices. The proposed ABC-PI controller-based harmonic compensation method is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink platform. Then, the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and the power factor are evaluated. The results of the proposed method are compared with PI controller and PSO-PI controller. The proposed method has fast DC-link voltage response, low THD and good power factor.
