Power quality is an important aspect in electrical distribution and utilization systems. Variable frequency drive (VFD) controlled induction motors are widely used in industries. The output current of VFD which is nonsinusoidal is given to the induction motor. This paper proposes a motor side active power filter (MSAPF) so as to provide a pure sinusoidal current to the induction motor. An evaluation of two control strategies has been discussed in this paper i.e. Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory and Instantaneous Reactive Power theory (IRPT) in the generation of the reference signal. These techniques are simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. These simulations demonstrate the reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) in the motor current with active filter connected to the motor side.

Control Scheme

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.

Power Quality Improvement

The quality of power that is degrading day by day is an important issue for all the consumers. The important factor for this is harmonics in the voltage and current waveforms which can be resolved by the use of hybrid series active power filter. The combination consists of a series active power filter and a shunt passive filter connected in parallel to the load. The method used in this paper is for the purpose of achieving good harmonic compensation and reduced total harmonic distortion for various types of nonlinear loads as per the standards of IEEE 519. The proposed HSAPF technique uses the synchronous reference frame method for generating the compensating signal with an intelligent PI controller that uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to obtain the required gain values needed to improve the steady state response of the system. The concept of vigorous HSAPF has been authenticated through MATLAB simulation analysis, and the results obtained validate the accuracy of the method for the different load conditions.

In the scope of this work, a new structure of the nine level inverter is proposed using a reduced number of power switches. This inverter is used as a shunt active power filter to compensate harmonic currents and the reactive power. The modeling and simulation of the proposed model were carried out in Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation results show that the filtering performances were achieved despite the reduction of the switches number. It was found that the current waveform becomes purely sinusoidal with a reduction in the harmonic distortion rate (THD) to 2.68%. This implies good compensation of both harmonics and reactive power with a power factor closer to unity. Reducing the switches number allows reducing the switching losses and lowering the duration of the applied voltage supported by the semiconductors. The proposed topology also allows to get simple structure of the inverter with a reduced cost.

waveforms of voltage and current are distorted and requirement of reactive power increase due to developing use of non-linear and time-varying loads. Harmonic distortion is recognized to be sources of a number of problems, such as increase in power losses, unnecessary heating, harmonic resonances in the utility, communication obstruction, flash and clear noise, inaccurate operation of susceptible loads [1, 2]. Conventionally, LC tuned passive filters absorb generated vocal currents due to nonlinear loads. Their primary benefit is more reliability with reduced cost. However, passive filters have a number of demerits like which may be the source of harmonic interface with the utility system, in the existence of inflexible value of fine-tuning LC filter is necessary and could not meet the predetermined harmonic current restrictions [3, 4]. This gives the inspiration to the exploration of an active power filter methodology, which is sensibly viable, cost valuable and can gather the suggested standard for large power nonlinear loads. Due to the high rating and large switching-frequency constraint of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverters are used for high-power applications

Power quality is the most significant factor of power sector. The end user equipment such as induction motor, inverters, rectifiers inject harmonics into power system that influences the quality of power delivered. The presence of harmonics forces the use of instantaneous reactive power theory to calculate instantaneous power that helps in finding the compensating currents to eliminate harmonics. The control action required by active filter is accomplished by STM32F303RET6 microcontroller. Single phase induction motor is used as a dynamic nonlinear load in one of the three phases and resistive loads on the other two phases. TRIAC based RC triggering circuit was used to control the single phase induction motor. This paper presents the simulation and hardware implementation of shunt active power filter for 3 phase 4 wire unbalanced system. The hardware results show that THD in the source side has been reduced from 50.7% to 9.6% by implementing the SAPF.
