ABSTRACT:
This paper presents the design of a shunt Active
Power Filter (SAPF) for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The proposed
system injects PV power into the grid, by feeding the SAPF; to eliminate
harmonics currents and compensate reactive power produced by nonlinear loads.
To inject the photovoltaic power to the grid we use a boost converter controlled
by a Fuzzy logic (FLC) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The
SAPF system is based on a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI); P-Q theory
algorithm is used for references harmonic currents extraction. The overall
system is designed and developed using MATLAB /Simulink software. Simulation results
confirm the performance of the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on
SAPF. For the MPPT controller, the results show that the proposed FLC algorithm
is fast in finding the MPPT than conventional techniques used for MPPT like
perturbed and observed (P&O). The simulated compensation system shows its
effectiveness such as the sinusoidal form of the currents and the reactive
power compensation. The proposed solution has achieved a low Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD), demonstrating the efficiency of the presented method. Also,
the results determine the performances of the proposed system and offer future
perspectives of renewable energy for power quality improvement.
