In this work, a Three phase Transformerless Hybrid Series Active Power Filter (THSeAF) based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is proposed to mitigate the voltage and current distortions present in an electrical distribution systems (EDS). A Sliding Mode Controller is designed by controlling the parameters present on the load side as well as source side of the system. Three separate voltage source converters (VSC) are used. The mod1elling of the system is derived by considering a single-phase system by using state space analysis. The frequency response characteristics have been derived for the single-phase system and the stability of the system is studied. It is observed that the system has good stability margins when the SMC is applied at the source side compared to load side. Simulation results obtained in PSCAD/EMTDC v4.6 have been observed for power quality issues like voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage distortions, voltage unbalances and their concurrent occurrence. The approach of stationary reference frame was used for source side control and PQ theory is used for load side control. It is observed that the proposed controller works well in obtaining a stable and constant load voltage during these power quality issues. The difference in settling time observed is around 4 ms for the load side and source side control. The THD present in the load voltage is near about 1%. The SMC is found to be robust in obtaining a constant load voltage with low THD and an improved power factor.

This paper deals with a shunt active power filter (APF) realized using three-phase p-q (3-φ p-q) theory and single-phase p-q (1-φ p-q) theory approaches. A comparative evaluation between two p-q theories, applied to three-phase three-wire system, is presented. An in-depth simulation study is carried out for better understanding of the concepts and to explore the factors that affect the performance of both the theories. A shunt APF system is developed and tested using a DSP DS1104 of dSPACE. An extensive experimental investigation is carried out under balanced and/or unbalanced supply voltages, and balanced and/or unbalanced load conditions. It is found that both the p-q theories perform well under balanced supply voltages and balanced non-linear load condition, but, their performance degrades when supply voltages are highly distorted. The 3-φ p-q theory has advantage over 1-φ p-q theory when the load is unbalanced in nature. However, under unbalanced voltages, 3-φ p-q theory fails to demonstrate its ability to compensate the load current harmonics and reactive power, whereas, 1-φ p-q theory gives better performance.
