Performance Investigation of Shunt Hybrid Active Power Filter With A Synchronous Reference Frame Based Controller



ABSTRACT:  
This paper presents a novel synchronous reference frame based (SRF) control strategy for shunt hybrid active power filter (SHAPF). The control strategy includes a direct current control (DCC) and an indirect current control (ICC) strategy. SHAPF can achieve harmonic compensation and dynamic reactive power compensation with the proposed controller. In this proposed method, as distinct from studies in literature, dynamic reactive power compensation and dc link voltage control is realized with ICC and harmonic current compensation is realized with DCC. Also, the proposed controller provides a variable SHAPF dc link voltage which is adjusted according to the reactive power compensation requirements in order to decrease the switching losses of converter and achieve power savings. The performance of proposed controller is verified with experimental results.

CONCLUSION:

This paper presents a SRF based controller approach for SHAPF. In proposed control method, DCC strategy is preferred for harmonic compensation control to maintain superior dynamic and steady state performance on the compensation of low order harmonics. ICC strategy is used for the reactive power compensation controller and the dc link voltage controller to simplify the controller and provide a successful performance without being affected by dynamic changes in active and reactive current components. Additionally, the dc link voltage is determined with adaptive to the reactive power demand of load by the proposed control method. By the help of this ability, the switching losses of SHAPF is decreased by keeping only required voltage level on dc link. The proposed control method is applied on the laboratory prototype of SHAPF. The steady state and dynamic performance of controller is verified with the experimental results.
