Abstract
Power quality (PQ) improvement using active power filters (APF) is a topic of growing interest. APFs are effective in reducing harmonic distortion and improving power factor. They can be used in a variety of applications to improve the performance and reliability of electrical equipment. To address concerns with PQ improvement, this study offers an application of shunt APF in an industrial zone smart grid. the non-linear loads and unpredictable harmonics produced by on-grid PV inverters that represent the architecture of an industrial smart grid. Utilizing the MATLAB/SIMULINK software suite, a detailed design of the APF and associated hysteresis current control technique is provided. The findings demonstrate that APF is a useful tool for reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) and has a quick dynamic reaction to control grid voltage and power factor.
期刊介绍:
WSEAS Transactions on Power Systems publishes original research papers relating to electric power and energy. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with generation, transmission & distribution planning, alternative energy systems, power market, switching and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
