The increasing growth in the use of electronic equipment in recent years has resulted in a greater need to ensure that the line current harmonic content of any equipment connected to the ac mains is limited to meet regulatory standards. Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) are used to compensate both harmonic and reactive current component for the power supplies. It also improves the power quality and power factor on power utility. In this paper, Application of Direct Testing and Calculating Method (DTCM) in Shunt Active filters is proposed to estimate reference current signal, and apply hysteresis control to generate gate pulses. The results of simulation study of control scheme presented in this paper is found quite satisfactory for eliminate harmonics and reactive power components from utility, successful in meeting the IEEE 519 recommended harmonic standard limits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
