Hysteresis Control for Shunt Active Power Filter under Unbalanced Three-Phase Load Conditions

Abstract EN

This paper focuses on a four-wire shunt active power filter (APF) control scheme proposed to improve the performance of the APF.

This filter is used to compensate harmonic distortion in three-phase four-wire systems.

Several harmonic suppression techniques have been widely proposed and applied to minimize harmonic effects.

The proposed control scheme can compensate harmonics and reactive power of the nonlinear loads simultaneously.

This approach is compared to the conventional shunt APF reference compensation strategy.

The developed algorithm is validated by simulation tests using MATLAB Simulink.

The obtained results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and confirmed the theoretical developments for balanced and unbalanced nonlinear loads.
