“…This, however, has resulted in poor convergence performance. [11] In the time domain, many methods have been proposed for reference generation. A DC-link voltage based control has been employed in [12] not only to compensate the DC-link voltage but also to enhance the steady-state performance of the SAPF.…”

This paper introduces an efficient control approach to enhance harmonics mitigation performance of the Shunt Active Power Filter(SAPF). This approach is based on adaptive filters favored by their built-in automatic parameters adaptation capability. The proposed filter, which uses a Variable Leaky Least Mean Square (VLLMS) adaptation, is applied with a modified instantaneous power PQ theory. This enhances its dynamic performance over the use of conventional time-invariant filters, and overcomes its limitations in the presence of non-sinusoidal voltage conditions. The studied SAPF model is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK with combinations of non-linear and unbalanced loads. Simulation results indicate a significant improvement in the transient response to less than a quarter of a cycle in its worst case, on top of additional improvements in the steady-state THD value. Moreover, the algorithm's computation efficiency evaluated in an embedded hardware prototype has given a fast execution time of 1.4µs .

“…An APF is usually connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) in parallel or series to perform its designed functions; however, shunt APFs are more commonly used because they provide more flexible compensation functions though current-injecting control and require less auxiliary equipment. When a series APF and a shunt APF are connected with a common direct current (DC) link, they can be used simultaneously, known as a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) [1][2][3][4].In open literature, there are a lot of papers investigating the application of APF to the mitigation of PQ issues, such as the improvement of PCC voltage stability [5,6], compensation of harmonic currents [5][6][7] and unbalance load currents [7,8], injection of active power [8,9], regulation of reactive power [6,9], etc. In order to develop high-performance APFs, it is crucial to improve the switching performance of power converters.…”

Renewable energy (RE)-based power generation systems and modern manufacturing facilities utilize a wide variety of power converters based on high-frequency power electronic devices and complex switching technologies. This has resulted in a noticeable degradation in the power quality (PQ) of power systems. To solve the aforementioned problem, advanced active power filters (APFs) with improved system performance and properly designed switching devices and control algorithms can provide a promising solution because an APF can compensate for voltage sag, harmonic currents, current imbalance, and active and reactive powers individually or simultaneously. This paper demonstrates, for the first time, the detailed design procedure and performance of a digitally controlled 2 kVA three-phase shunt APF system using gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). The designed digital control scheme consists of three type II controllers with a digital signal processor (DSP) as the control core. Using the proposed APF and control algorithms, fast and accurate compensation for harmonics, imbalance, and reactive power is achieved in both simulation and hardware tests, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed system. Moreover, GaN HEMTs allow the system to achieve up to 97.2% efficiency.

Summary Nonlinear load results in inferior power quality and a non‐uniform power demand curve. This gets aggravated due to the charging of electric vehicles. This paper presents a new control approach of integrating a photovoltaic (PV) cell with battery storage to a shunt active power filter (SAPF) for electric vehicle (EV) applications. The multifunctional PV‐Battery‐integrated SAPF (PV‐Battery‐SAPF) performs harmonic mitigation along with clean power generation, energy storage, uniform load demand curve, and battery swapping. It is achieved through a two‐stage topology. In the first stage, maximum power point (MPP) of a PV array is robustly tracked using metaheuristic algorithms like cuckoo search algorithm and particle swarm optimization. In the second stage, an ant colony optimization‐tuned controller is developed which adaptively controls the SAPF to improve the power quality. The suggested method provides efficient MPP tracking, lesser total harmonic distortion, better dynamic system performance, and appropriate charging/discharging of battery leading to increased system reliability. The proposed system is validated in real time on a hardware‐in‐the‐loop (HIL) testing platform.
