<span>The development of active power filter (APF) using rectifier boost technique has been identified to compensate for the pulsating nature of the distorted supply current waveform of non-linear load. In this work, investigation is carried out on the operation of rectifier without any filters function. This is then extended to operate the rectifier converter with an active power filter function. APF function is implemented by enabling the closed-loop control using standard proportional integral control to rectify the distorted supply current to become continuous, sinusoidal and in-phase with the supply voltage waveform. Consequently, the total harmonic distortion (THD) level was reduced to meet the acceptable limit defined in the standard of IEEE-519 1992. The selected simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink are presented to justify the proposed filter structure.</span>

Abstract In this paper, shoot-through current elimination DC–AC converter circuit has been presented with the application of active power filter (APF). The intuitive analysis of the shoot-through in the conventional DC–AC converter has been reported first. Interleaved buck (IB) converter is adopted to eliminate the shoot-through current, thereby increasing the reliability of the interleaved buck–based active power filter (IB-APF). The 3-phase 4-wire IB-APF eliminates the current harmonics produced by the load just as a conventional one does and are innately immune to “shoot-through” phenomenon, with the elimination of special protection features required in conventional inverter circuits. A comparison has been made about the compensation capabilities of the IB-APF with the PI and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) used by id–iq control strategy under different supply voltage conditions. The id–iq control strategy used for extracting the three-phase reference current for IB-APF, evaluating their performance here in MATLAB/Simulink environment and also implemented using real-time digital simulator hardware (OPAL-RT hardware). The RTDS result verifies that the total harmonic distortion percentage of the source current can be reduced below 5% according to IEEE-519 standard recommendations on harmonic limits.

This paper presents a new flowchart for parameters calculation of Hybrid Active Power Filter with Injection Circuit (IHAPF). The first is the necessity to use the IHAPF model and the parameters of the IHAPF needed to search have been shown. Next, the constraints of the parameters to be searched and the objective function to be reached are given. Since then a flowchart is designed to look for parameters of IHAPF using the Jaya optimization algorithm. The Jaya algorithm has the advantage of simplicity, few parameters, and good performance. Therefore it reduces search time. Compared to the flowchart using the firefly algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm, and simulated annealing algorithm, the simulation results performed on an IHAPF 10kV-50Hz model have proven that: the proposed flowchart gives better results in minimizing the compensation errors, minimum phase shift angle between supply current, and source voltage, minimum total harmonic distortion of supply current.

<p>This paper proposes a new multi-objective optimization design method for Hybrid Active Power Filter based on the Vortex Search algorithm. The Vortex Search algorithm belongs to the Single-Solution Based algorithm class of Metaheuristics algorithm. This design method has the advantage of fast execution time, high convergence speed and prevent local trap problems. The achieved results are multi-objective, such as minimum total harmonic distortion of the supply current and source voltage and satisfy many constraints such as system stability, resonance conditions of branches and limits of the parameters. Compared with the traditional design method, simulation results have proved that: the proposed design method is given with better results in minimizing total harmonic distortion of the supply current and source voltage.</p>

The correct determination of the parameters of Hybrid Active Power Filter (HAPF) plays a decisive role in its performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a new design algorithm for HAPF based on the Social Spider Algorithm (SSA). This algorithm has the advantage that it is possible to determine the parameters of both the power circuit part and the control circuit part of HAPF. The achieved results are multi-purpose, such as: minimum total harmonic distortion of the supply current and source voltage, the maximum reactive power compensation into the system and satisfy many constraints such as: system stability, resonance conditions of the branches and the limits of the parameters. Compared to traditional design method using the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, the proposed algorithm shows the advantages of smaller total harmonic distortion of supply current and source voltage, and higher reactive power compensation into the grid while still meeting the constraints.

Abstract This paper presents the modelling and control of grid interfaced fuel cell distributed generation system with embedded active filter function. The features of active power filter have been incorporated in the control circuit of the current controlled-voltage source inverter interfacing the fuel cell to the grid. Thus the same inverter is utilised to inject power generated from fuel cell source to the grid and to act as shunt active power filter to compensate for load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and load current imbalance. Thus, after compensation, the grid current is sinusoidal and in-phase with grid voltage. Simulation in MATAB and experimentation using DSP is carried out to verify the operation and the control principle. The results are obtained for different operating conditions with varying load demands to prove the effectiveness of the entire system.
