Active power filter, a good alternativeforeasing
power quality problems. APF can provide an effective solution
for the removal of hormonic current present in power system.
The performance of shunt APF depends on technique used to
generate reference current, controlling method used and topology
of inverter under consideration. In this paper a fuzzy logic-based
control scheme was presented to generate reference signal for
hysteresis current controller of three phase VSI. Unit template based control algorithm for control signal generation and fuzzy
logic controller was used to replace PI controller to improve
performance. The proposed system is very much capable in
maintaining and improving power quality at distribution side.
The shunt APF performance was analysed with SIMULATION
model under balanced condition and outcome obtained
satisfactory in improving the power quality.
