In this paper, a single Phase voltage source voltage-controlled active power filter(APF) for power quality improvement was proposed. The proposed APF has the performance of harmonic suppression and unity power factor correction. The performance of harmonic suppression can be obtained by controlling the waveshape of the APF output voltage to be sine wave. And, unity power factor is controlled by the reactive power control loop of the APF output. Simulation and experimental results using diode rectifier showed that the voltage-controlled APF, unlike the current-controlled APF, can reduce the voltage harmonics as well as current harmonics. Also the results showed that the input dover factor and power quality were greatly improved.

This paper suggests a control algorithm of 3-phase 3-wire series active power filter. This suggested algorithm can compensate source harmonics and reactive power in 3-phase 3-wire power distribution systems. These harmonics are generated by nonlinear loads such as diode rectifiers and thyristor converters. This control algorithm extracts a compensation voltage reference from performance function without phase transformation. Therefore, this control algorithm is simpler than any other conventional control algorithms. 3-phase 3-wire series active power filters which have a harmonic voltage source and a harmonic current source are manufactured and experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of suggested control algorithm.

This paper proposes a new control strategy of bidirectional uninterruptible power supply(UPS) with the performance of active power filter which compensate the harmonics and reactive power. To improve the transient response for the effective compensation in active power filter mode, it is considered that a simple and precise calculation method of the compensation reference current for the harmonics and reactive power compensation. So a novel closed-loop control strategy is used to calculate the reference current. And the current regulated instantaneous voltage control scheme is used in back-up power mode. The system model and control algorithm are described and analyzed, and the system Performance is verified by the simulation and experimental results.

The PWM control technique is proposed which can eliminate the harmonic components of the nonsinusoidal ac line current such as the current of 6-phase rectifier by injecting PWM current. TSC(Time-Sharing Control) is adopted to avoid the unbalance between three PWM injection currents at the three-phase system. Also a new power circuit for three-phase filter is suggested for realizing the proposed PWM control technique. The operation characteristics are investigated theoretically and experimentally to show the feasibility of the optimized injection method.

This paper presents a digital implementation of delta modulation Technique for Active Power Filters. Delta modulated scheme is to control the harmonic-compensating current indirectly by adjusting the capacitor voltage to be sinusoidal. The overall control system has two feedback loops. One is the outer propotional feedback for loop regulating the dc current of active filters and the other is the inner feedback loop for maintaining the ac current waveform to be sinusoidal, and have zero power factor angle(i.e. unity power factor). The characteristics of the proposed is investigated by digital simulation using ACSL and experimental results are obtained by TMS370C756 Single-Chip Microprocessor relative to analog delta modulation technique.

With significant development of power electronics technology the proliferation of nonlinear loads such as such as static power converters has deteriorated power quality in power transmission distribution systems. Notably voltage harmonics resulting from current harmonies produced by the nonlinear loads have become a serious problem in many systems Moreover momentary interruptions and voltage sags are responsible for many of the power quality problems found in typical industrial plants. Int his paper proposed 3 phase hybrid series active power filter is not only for harmonic compensation but also for harmonic isolation between supply and load and for voltage regulation and imbalance compensation Through computer simulations we have verified the effectiveness of the proposed system.

In this paper suggested methods for current control in active filter are using the triangular carriers which were composed of independently generated threefold carriers and controllable current source which compensates the harmonics generated independently from the types of the load with instantaneous amplitude adjusting from the maximum magnitude of the compensating currents. And the 2-nd order high pass passive filter connected to the source finally supplies pure sinusoidal waves by suppressing the residual harmonics which cannot removed by the active filter. As the typical load which generates the harmonics, a rectifier was set and the system was also designed by simulations and implementations.

In this paper, a new simple control method for active power filter which can realized the complete compensation of the harmonic currents is proposed. In the proposed scheme, a compensating current reference generator employing resonance model implemented by a DSP(Digital Signal Processor) is introduced. Deadbeat control is employed to control the active power filter. The switching pulse width based SVM(Space Vector Modulation) is adopted so that the current of active power filter is been exactly equal to its reference at the next sampling instant. To compensate the computation delay of digital controller, the prediction of current is achieved by the current observer with deadbeat response.

This paper suggests of a 3-phase 3-wire unified active power filter. The system is composed of a series active power filter and a parallel active power filter. The proposed series active power filter compensating unbalance source voltage and current harmonics of the parallel active power filter improves power factor. The proposed algorithm which improves for power factor and harmonic reduction are calculated by the performance function, and which compensates for the unbalanced source voltage is calculated based on the symmetrical component analysis. We composed a combined system of the series active power filter and parallel active power filter to confirm a validity of the proposed control methods. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by the experiments.

In this paper, a novel control scheme compensating for source voltage unbalance and current harmonics and power factor correction in unified active power filter systems combined with shunt passive filters is proposed, where no low/high-pass filter are used in deriving the reference voltage for compensation. Using digital all-pass filters, the phase angle and the reference voltages compensating for harmonic current and unbalanced voltage are derived from the positive sequence component of the unbalanced voltage. The amplitude of d-axis current in a series filter is controlled as zero for power factor correction. The validity of the proposed control scheme has been verified by experimental results.
