Elevation of power electronics technology, converter are the main causes for power quality issues, because of their high switching characteristics.so to reduce the harmonics injected by the nonlinear load, the filters are play a major role to improve a power quality improvement, particularly shunt active filter is more reliable for reduce a harmonic in power system network. This novel technique proposed for design a shunt active filter with solar photovoltaic array integrated into nonlinear load using a Point of Common Coupling (PCC) technique. Zero crossing detection technique are used to extract the magnitude of a fundamental active components of distorted load currents. The estimation of harmonic isolator and current compensation are controlled by Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) controller, different types of compensation techniques are used in this work Synchronous reference frame theory, instantaneous reactive power theory (PQ) and hysteresis current control technique. These techniques enable extraction of active power, regulates a load voltage and maintain a phasor sequence at PCC under the voltage sag and swell. Simulation is carried out by MATLAB/SIMULINK for different compensations techniques and Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) values are tabulated.

This paper presents the modified grid side converter control (GSC) technique which enable the GSC to work as a shunt active filter to mitigate the grid current harmonics produced by the nonlinear load, as well as to transfer power from the grid to the rotor of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) or vice versa. The main contribution of this proposed technique is an addition of a shunt active filter with space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) controller in GSC control itself in order to achieve a better grid current %THD profile, and simultaneously to control active power for variable wind speed. The reactive power supply to the DFIG and extraction of maximum power is achieved using RSC. The comparison of the modified GSC control technique using hysteresis current control (HCC), and SVPWM controller used to mitigate the harmonics is presented with different wind speeds. The proposed modified GSC control technique is simulated for grid-connected 2.6 MW DFIG based wind energy conversion system (WECS) in MATLAB Simulink environment.

This paper deals with the harmonic mitigation and reactive power compensation using Shunt Active filter. The performance of the Shunt active filter depends on the design and current control technique for generating a reference current. The design of the filter involves the iterative procedure for choosing the filter components so that it compensates the harmonics and reactive power for maximum load condition. The current controller method adopted for indirect current control technique where the reference signal is similar to the supply current signal. The Adaptive filter used in current controller mitigates harmonics and reactive power and voltage control loop of SAF balancing the active power between the load and supply unit. The learning rate is fixed by repeated simulation. The SAF active filter is tested in four load condition ie., nonlinear load(37% Total Harmonic Distortion(THD)),highly nonlinear load(>100% THD), linear load(<8% THD, power factor(pf) <0.5) and both nonlinear and linear load(37% THD and 0.7 pf). The study is carried out in MATLAB Simulink and the results are presented.

The power quality problem in the power system is increased with the use of non-linear devices. Due to the use of non-linear devices like power electronic converters, there is an increase in harmonic content in the source current. Due to this there is an increase in the losses, instability and poor voltage waveform. To mitigate the harmonics and provide the reactive power compensation, we use filters. There are different filters used in the power system. Passive filters provide limited compensation, so active filters can be used for variable compensation. In this paper, a shunt active filter has been made adaptive using a Variable Leaky Least Mean Square (VLLMS) based controller. Proposed adaptive controller can be able to compensate for harmonic currents, power factor and nonlinear load unbalance. DC capacitor voltage has been regulated at a desired level using a PI controller and a self-charging circuit technique. But, this scheme has two disadvantages such as, tuning issues of current controller pre-requisites the traditional PI controller, which is controlled by intelligent based Fuzzy-Logic controller for achieving good performance features. The design concept of proposed intelligent Fuzzy controller for shunt active filter has been verified through simulation analysis and results are presented with proper comparisons.

This article offers a clear and realistic design for an active power filter to increase reliability and power quality of the photovoltaic charging system and a high-penetration electric vehicle distribution system. The MOPSO algorithm is used as the basis for problems with optimization and filter tuning. A typical regular load curve is used to model the warped power grid over a 24-hour cycle to estimate the total harmonic distortion (THD). For structures with high penetration of electric cars, the probability of minimizing THD (for example to five percent) is explored via optimum capacity active shunt filters and shunt capacitors. To maximize general performance of the charging system, the switching systems are re-scheduled. Moreover, to increase the current control accuracy of shunt active filter, the fuzzy logic controller is utilized. The major drawback to new system is that it would have unrestricted billing for entire day to cope with voltage interruption. In MATLAB / SIMULINK, detailed machine setup and control algorithm experiments are simulated. The simulation findings confirm the efficiency and viability of projected shunt active filter to enhance voltage profile and track power performance of photovoltaic charging system.

Renewable energy sources (RES) are gaining more importance in the present scenario due to the depletion of fossil fuels and increasing power demand. Solar energy is the one of the most promising as it is clean and easily available source. The voltage obtained from the PV system is low. This voltage is increased by high step up dc-dc converter which uses only one switch leads to low switching losses and hence the efficiency of this converter is high. To get the good response this converter is operated in closed loop manner. Integration of PV system with existing grid has so many issues like distorted voltage, current and reactive power control etc. This paper presents a four leg inverter which works on hysteresis current control technique to address the power quality issues like reactive power compensation, balanced load currents and compensation of neutral current. The switching to the inverter is designed in such a way that it supplies the extra current to stabilise the current of the grid that is being supplied to the loads. Finally, the proposed technique is validated by using mat lab/Simulink software and corresponding results are presented in this paper.

Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems are increasingly attracting the attention of industry and academia as a means of providing an alternative to conventional fossil-fuel generation and pollution-free power. This project aims to improve the power quality level of a grid-tied PV distribution system using shunt active power filter (APF) along with adaptive current control technique. In this work Artificial Neural Network controller used to destroy the voltage and current harmonics in a grid-tied PV system. A reference current generation strategy is implemented to mitigate the current harmonics by extracting the fundamental constituents (FCs) from the nonlinear load currents. MCCF is employed to separate the FC from the distorted grid voltages and eliminates the voltage harmonics during extremely polluted grid voltage condition. The comparative analysis is analyzed to check the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid control scheme with existing and adaptive control techniques in respect of power quality, better dc offset rejection, better FC and frequency extraction, and grid synchronization.
