Aims :
The main focus in this work is to improve balanced and sinusoidal grid currents by feeding compensating
current at point of common coupling (PCC).
Background:
In recent years the advancement in electronics and electrical appliances are widely improved and are also
more sophisticated. These appliances require uninterrupted and quality power. Therefore in the growing power system
scenario, several issues like malfunction of electrical sensitive devices, overheat in transformer, interference in
communication, failures in computer network etc., adversely affects the power quality (PQ). These issues are generated
due to rapid use of non-linear loads in three-phase system which generates harmonics in the system. To overcome from
these PQ issues, several PQ mitigation custom power devices are integrated in power distribution network. But, the
conventional PQ mitigation devices are insufficient to eliminate PQ problems such as current and voltage harmonics,
voltage sag/swell and voltage unbalances associated with the power distribution network.
Objective :
The objective of using A-PSO is to find the global optimum of the spread factor parameter at the upper level. APSO, has a faster convergence speed and correct response compared to the PSO algorithm.
Method :
SO A-PSO M p-q.
Result:
A-PSO is giving better results than PSO.
Conclusion :
A three-phase system with SHAPF injected at PCC is proposed in this paper. The SHAPF injects filter current
at PCC for supressing the harmonics using a modified pq scheme. For controlling the PIC, two optimised parameters are
discussed and found that reducing the harmonics distortions using A-PSO is giving better results compare to the
conventional PSO.
