Design of One Cycle Control Based Shunt Active Power Filter For Power Quality Enhancement
Abstract
Power factor reduces, energy efficiency falls, and other appliances might be disrupted by the harmonic and reactive currents produced by non-linear loads. Minimizing the reactive and harmonic currents on the power line generated by nonlinear loads and boosting the power factor can be conducted with the help of an Active Power Filter (APF). To confirm that the current going to and from the grid is sinusoidal and in phase with the grid voltage, a shunt APF is connected with the nonlinear loads and functions as a current source to cancel the reactive and harmonic factors in the line current. Here, we employ a vector control approach to maintain a stable switching frequency while using an APF converter in dual boost converter state. There is no need to perform any complex digital computation involving a fast-acting microprocessor in order to determine the reference current for the APF inductor. A standard controller is employed to control the error signal.
