<span lang="EN-US">Multilevel inverter (MLI) becomes more significant in Active Power Filter (APF) application due to capability to its produce low harmonic output current in which at the same time improving performance of APF. Among the topologies of MLI, Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) is the most popular topology with less power devices requirement and simple design. MLI CHB is also capable to produce possible output voltage at twice of the number of DC source which in this case of APF is the best suited topology to replace with the conventional six -step inverter. This paper presents the performance of three- phase three-wire CHB MLI used in Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) based on Direct Current Control (DCC) and Indirect Current Control (ICC) schemes. Both schemes are developed and verified in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results show that both current control algorithms are capable to mitigate load current with Total Harmonic Distortion below than the permissible value based on IEEE 519 standard.</span>

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.


This paper presents the simulation-based study and results of a three-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF) for power quality improvement. The power quality of the power systems is degraded because of the presence of non-linear loads at the consumer end. The SAPF can reduce the impact of harmonics caused by the non-linear loads. The analyzed SAPF system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB-Simulink workspace. The ultimate goal of this study is to improve the total harmonic distortion of the system as per the standards defined by IEEE-519.
