This paper presents a single-phase shunt active filter designed to minimize problems related to power quality in electrical systems. The power stage of the active filter is based on a two-leg full-bridge inverter, with a single capacitor in the dc side, and a filter inductor in the ac side. The control system is based on the instantaneous power theory in the α-β-0 reference frame (pq-theory), derived to be appl...
This paper presents a three-phase four-wire Shunt Active Filter that compensates power quality problems and can also interface renewable energy sources with the electric grid. The inverter stage of the active filter is based in a two level four leg inverter and its control is based in the Theory of Instantaneous Reactive Power (p q Theory). The filter is capable of compensating power factor, unbalance, and curr...
This paper presents a developed Power Quality Monitor used to perform studies in a prototype of a three-phase four wire Shunt Active Power Filter. In the developed equipment, the voltage measurements are made through Hall-effect sensors and for the current measurements flexible Rogowski Coil sensors are used. A conditioning circuit is used to interface the data from the sensors to a standard data acquisition bo...
This paper describes a combined operation involving a series active filter and shunt passive filters for three-phase three-wire systems. The series active filter is able to minimize Power Quality problems like unbalances, harmonics and flicker observed at the system voltages. Another task for the series active filter is to damp possible resonances involving the passive filters and the system impedance. The shun...
Interface converters for renewable energy sources can be regarded as custom power devices. Thus they can be designed and operated so as to improve power quality at their connecting locations. This paper presents examples of converter designs based on p-q theory for different applications. Modeling, simulations and experimental results are given for converter prototypes operating either as active power filter (A...
This paper describes different types of parallel association of Shunt Active Power Filters, presents computer simulation models developed in PSCAD/EMTDC, and shows simulated results for each case. The control system used in the active filters is based on the Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory (p-q Theory). The active filters use periodic sampling as switching technique. Two types of parallel associations are p...
This paper presents experimental results obtained with a developed single-phase shunt active power filter laboratory prototype operating with different switching techniques. This active filter can compensate harmonic currents and power factor in single-phase electric installations. Its power circuit is based on a two-leg IGBT inverter, with a single capacitor in the dc side, and an inductor in the ac side. Its ...
This paper presents a shunt active filter with a controller able to dynamically limit the output current, which allows an effective protection of the inverter semiconductors without diminishing the active filter performance. The control strategy is based on the p-q theory expanded for three-phase four-wire systems and the power stage of the active filter is composed by a two-level four-leg inverter. Simulation ...
