Because of the heavy use of electrical equipment, harmonic pollution is becoming more and more serious, which brings potential safety risks to our lives. In view of the fact that active power filters can effectively eliminate harmonics, an adaptive second-order sliding mode fuzzy control based on the backstepping method is proposed to eliminate harmonics in this article. The second-order sliding mode control can eliminate chattering in the system and results in a smoother controller. The uncertainties in the system are approximated by a fuzzy control system, and the adaptive laws are designed to ensure the stability of the system. Backstepping control can improve the stability and robustness of closed-loop systems. Simulation results show that the proposed method has better tracking effect, strong robustness, and stability and can effectively eliminate harmonics.

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.
