This paper focuses on a four-wire shunt active power filter (APF) control scheme proposed to improve the performance of the APF. This filter is used to compensate harmonic distortion in three-phase four-wire systems. Several harmonic suppression techniques have been widely proposed and applied to minimize harmonic effects. The proposed control scheme can compensate harmonics and reactive power of the nonlinear loads simultaneously. This approach is compared to the conventional shunt APF reference compensation strategy. The developed algorithm is validated by simulation tests using MATLAB Simulink. The obtained results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and confirmed the theoretical developments for balanced and unbalanced nonlinear loads.

In the scope of this work, a new structure of the nine level inverter is proposed using a reduced number of power switches. This inverter is used as a shunt active power filter to compensate harmonic currents and the reactive power. The modeling and simulation of the proposed model were carried out in Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation results show that the filtering performances were achieved despite the reduction of the switches number. It was found that the current waveform becomes purely sinusoidal with a reduction in the harmonic distortion rate (THD) to 2.68%. This implies good compensation of both harmonics and reactive power with a power factor closer to unity. Reducing the switches number allows reducing the switching losses and lowering the duration of the applied voltage supported by the semiconductors. The proposed topology also allows to get simple structure of the inverter with a reduced cost.
