Abstract The paper deals with cost effective compensator placement and sizing. It becomes one of the most important problems in contemporary electrical networks, in which voltage and current waveform distortions increase year-by-year reaching or even exceeding limit values. The suppression of distortions could be carried out by means of three types of compensators, i.e., passive filters, active power filters and hybrid filters. So far, passive filters have been more popular mainly because of economic reasons, but active and hybrid filters have some advantages which should cause their wider application in the near future. Active power filter placement and sizing could be regarded as an optimization problem. A few objective functions have been proposed for this problem. In this paper we compare solutions obtained by means of combinatorial and genetic approaches. The theoretical discussion is followed by examples of active power filter placement and sizing

Power Quality Improvement

A new control strategy for active power filters is proposed, modeled and implemented in order to improve the power quality of a line commutated converter High voltage DC link. The ability of reactive power and harmonics reductions are generally met by using passive and active power filters. In this paper, modified active power filter with a modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is used to minimize the source harmonics and force the AC supply current to be in the same phase with AC voltage source at both sending and receiving sides of a line commutated converter high voltage DC link. Therefore, it is considered as power factor corrector and harmonics eliminator with random variations in the load current. The modified harmonics pulse width modulation algorithm is applicable for active power filter based on a three-phase five-level and seven-level cascaded H-bridge voltage source inverter. Simulation results show that the suggested modified multilevel active power filters improve total harmonics distortion of both voltage and current with almost unity effective power factor at both AC sides of high voltage DC link. Therefore, modified active power filter is an effective tool for power quality improvement and preferable for line commutated converter high voltage DC link at different load conditions.

Contrast Analysis

With the wide application of power electronic equipments in power system, more and more harmonic are poured into the power system, which cause power pollution and make the power quality problem increasingly serious. Active power filter (APF) is an important equipment to compensate harmonic and reactive current in power system. One of the key technologies lies in the real-time and accurate control. The fundamental principles of several control strategies of compensate current were presented, and the respective merit and demerit of these control strategies were pointed out with contrast analysis in this paper. Active power filter will achieve a higher performance and a wider application with the continuous development of the control strategy.

A PLL Scheme for Synchronization with Grid Voltage Phasor in Active Power Filter SystemsVoltage source inverters connected to the grid in applications such as active power filters require synchronization with the grid voltage. Since in practice the grid voltage can be unbalanced and distorted, but the operation of the whole active filter control system is strongly dependant on precise estimation of grid voltage phase, the fundamental positive sequence phasor of the grid voltage has to be extracted. In this paper a system for smooth estimation of the position of the voltage phasor at the point of common coupling of a parallel active filter system is presented using a sinusoidal signal integrator and a simple software PLL. The performance of the proposed system is verified by simulation and experimental results. The proposed PLL scheme can also be used in other vector oriented control systems.

A novel hybrid series active power filter to eliminate harmonics and compensate reactive power is presented and analyzed. The proposed active compensation technique is based on a hybrid series active filter using ATS algorithm in the conventional Sinusoidal Fryze voltage (SFV) control technique. This chapter discusses the comparative performances of conventional Sinusoidal Fryze voltage control strategy and ATS-optimized controllers. ATS algorithm has been used to obtain the optimum value of Kp and Ki. Analysis of the hybrid series active power filter system under non-linear load condition and its impact on the performance of the controllers is evaluated. MATLAB/Simulink results and Total harmonic distortion (THD) shows the practical viability of the controller for hybrid series active power filter to provide harmonic isolation of non-linear loads and to comply with IEEE 519 recommended harmonic standards. The ATS-optimized controller has been attempted for shunt active power filter too, and its performance has also been discussed in brief.

Power Filters

Traditionally, the major part of the electrical power is generally consumed by the non-linear loads due to frequent application of the semiconductor devices in the form of domestic and industrial loads. This results from distortion in the actual supply voltage waveform at the source end due to the interference of the multiple harmonics generated out of semiconductor devices used at load end and excessive absorption of the reactive power. The insufficiency of these compensation techniques leads to the advent of the phase multiplication techniques as well as the most reliable and economic active power filtering scheme. A deep analysis showing tedious waveforms using the ORCAD simulation package for the various kind of loads in conjunction with the single-phase active power filter shunted to the single-phase line at the load end for the two current control techniques (i.e., hysteresis band current control, triangularization of current control) has been done. The results are analyzed and tested to lead the optimistic approach for APF (active power filters).

Abstract: Active Power Filters (APF) are more effective than conventional passive filters with regard to mitigating harmonics and compensating reactive power. As a result, deployment of APF in the distribution network is ever increasing. The performance of APF mainly depends on the reference extraction technique adopted. This work proposes sliding Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) assisted single phase p-q theory for the extraction of reference current. The proposed algorithm exploits the inherent ability of sliding DFT (SDFT) to provide the fundamental and its quadrature component of signal (voltage or current) to derive the reference current with the help of a single-phase p-q theory. Furthermore, the algorithm involves the phase shifting of the fundamental component alone, and is suitable even for distorted utility voltage. Effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation results.

Abstract The significant problem of compensator placement and sizing in electrical networks has been analyzed in the paper. The compensation is usually realized by means of passive or active power filters. The former solution is widely used mainly because of the economical reasons, but the latter one becomes more and more popular as the number of nonlinear loads increases. Regardless of the compensator type the most important goal consists in voltage and current distortion drop below levels imposed by standards. Nevertheless, the desired effects should be achieved with the minimum cost. So far a few objective functions have been proposed for this optimization problem. It is claimed that minimization of the compensator currents leads also to the minimum costs. This paper shows that such simplified approach could lead to suboptimal solutions and in fact a function g(·) reflecting the relation between the compensator size and its price must be incorporated into objective functions. Moreover, in this case it is very easy to compare solutions obtained using compensators offered by different suppliers - it is enough to change the function g(·). Theoretical considerations have been illustrated by an example of active power filter allocation and sizing.
