The widespread use of power electronics in industrial, commercial and even residential electrical equipment like non-linear loads causes deterioration of the quality of the electric power supply with distortion of the supply voltage and in order to mitigate this quality the shunt active power filter (SAPF) is the suitable and effective solution for harmonic elimination and reactive power compensation and lead to power quality (PQ) improvement, therefor an effective and accurate current control technique is needed in order for a SAPF where control algorithm is the heart for SAPF to perform this function and its dynamic performance is mainly depends on these control strategy. This paper proposes three different current control strategies (CCS) based on instantaneous power theory and generalized fryze theory which used for the generation or extraction of the accurate reference current signals which comparing with the actual signals through hysteresis current technique (HCT) to produce suitable gating signals for SAPF and discusses the performance for these controllers when the supply bus voltage is distorted with scope on the efficient control algorithm. Matlab / Simulink simulation results are presented to validate the control strategy and demonstrate the effectiveness of SAPF to provide mitigation of power quality problems for non-linear load to reach an acceptable value comply with recommended standards.

The wide spectrum of electromagnetism that explains current and voltage at specific time and location in a power system is referred to as power quality. Alternative energies are becoming more popular due to concerns about power quality, safety, and the environment, as well as commercial incentives. Moreover, photovoltaic (PV) energy is one of the most well-known renewable resources since it is free to gather, unlimited, and considerably cleaner. Active power filter (APF) is an effective means to dynamically suppress harmonics and solve power quality problems caused by the DC side voltage fluctuation. Therefore, this paper describes a substantial advancement in the harmonic suppression compensation algorithm, as well as the cascaded active power filter. Also, this paper focuses on compensating the error of photovoltaic grid-connected generation based on optimized H-bridge cascaded APF. The details of the working principle and topological structure of the APF used as the compensation device are analyzed. The H-bridge cascaded APF is optimized using the segmented variable step-length conductance increment (SVSLCI) algorithm. The overall cascaded APF control strategy is designed and simulated using MatLab/Simulink environment. By the simulation results comparing the existing traction network power quality control measures, before and after compensation, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified. The proposed controller strengthens the compensation of specific odd harmonics to improve the system work models and criteria to improve power quality. Moreover, the proposed algorithm showed positive significance for optimizing the quality of photovoltaic grid-connected power, reducing the current harmonic, and improving the equipment utilization of photovoltaic inverters.

Power Quality Improvement

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.
