In this paper, three-phase, four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF) is utilized to mitigate system harmonics of distorted voltage source for unbalanced and nonlinear loads. Basically, the source voltage should be pure sinusoidal waveform to get a good mitigation of source current harmonics. In this under study system, the source voltage is assumed to be harmonic distortion non-sinusoidal voltage source. The phase locked loop (PLL) control circuit is wielded for extracting the fundamental component of the distorted source voltage to use it as an input signal to the SAPF control. Another input signal to the SAPF is the distorted load current. The SAPF control system uses (p-q) theory to calculate the optimum instantaneous current to be injected by the SAPF to mitigate the source current harmonics even the source voltage is harmonic distorted. MATLAB/SIMULINK software package is utilized to simulate the system under study. The effect of SAPF is tested when it’s used with and without the PLL control circuit. The simulation results show that, the THD of source current when using the PLL control circuit is improved to comply with the harmonic limits given in the IEEE 519-1992 and IEC 61000-4-7 standards.

A new topology of shunt active power filter with two-leg three-level clamped capacitor in the main circuit is presented, and the operation principle and control scheme are introduced. The adopted device is operated as a controllable current source to eliminate current harmonics. The new hysteretic current comparison control scheme is used to track the command current and to balance the neutral-point voltage. Meanwhile the redundant operating states in the adopted inverter can be selected to compensate the clamped capacitor voltage to achieve the dynamic balance of the capacity voltage. Simulation results show that the shunt active power filter can effectively eliminate harmonics of the nonlinear loads.
