Simulation analysis of modified DC bus voltage control algorithm for power quality improvement on distributed generation systems

Abstract

This paper presents a control strategy for shunt active filter interface for distributed generation scheme without degrading the power quality in the grid. The control strategy used enhances the performance of shunt active filter by sharing active power being generated from distributed generation to grid as well as load in addition to regular functions such as current harmonic elimination, reactive power compensation, power factor correction. The modified control algorithm is designed and analyzed for non-linear load using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results shows good performance of controller for power quality improvement of distributed generation system interfaced through shunt active filter.
