2. Introduction
• Loads: Types of Loads
1. Linear loads – sinusoidal current with sinusoidal voltage
2. Non-linear loads – non-sinusoidal current with sinusoidal voltage
• Harmonics and it’s effects
1. Overheating
2. Voltage distortion and flickering
3. Interference
• Different solutions:
1. Capacitors
2. Compensators
3. Passive filters
4. Active filters
3. Filters
• Active power filter
1.
I.
II.
Series active power filter
SeAPF is connected in series with the T.L
Acts as a controlled voltage source
2.

II.
Shunt active power filter:
ShAPF is connected in parallel with the T.L
Acts as a controlled current source
3. Unified power quality controller
I.
Combination of passive, series and shunt active filters
4. Shunt active power filter
•
The principle of the shunt filter is to produce harmonic currents equal in magnitude but
opposite in-phase to those harmonics that are present in the grid.
•
Phase shift of the harmonic current is 180 degrees.
•
Non-linear load with SAPF becomes a Linear load.
•
SAPF is a closed loop structure
•
•
SAPF can compensate reactive power and can also
mitigate harmonics and distortions.
I(comp) = I(load) - I(source)
6. Different blocks in SAPF
• PWM Converter
• Instantaneous power calculation block
• Reference currents calculation block
• DC voltage regulator
7. PWM Converter
1.
Responsible for power processing.
2.
Consists of VSC or CSC
3.
To force the PWM converter act as a controlled voltage or current source.
4.
VSC is made up of PE devices(GTO, IGBT…)
5.
PE devices are fired based on the APF currents.
6.
APF currents can be calculated using Hysteresis Controller method.
8. Hysteresis Controller
•
The method of controlling a VSC in such a way that the output current will be generated
based on reference current values.
•
A reference value is kept and is compared with the two input of the controller.
•
Based on the error between the 2 inputs and the reference value, signals are generated.
• Inputs to the controller can be taken in two different ways:
1. Direct control method.
2. Indirect control method.
9. Instantaneous Power Calculation
•
•
•
•
The crucial part of SAPF which calculates the compensation currents.
These currents are calculates using “P-Q theory.”
This Constant power control strategy was the first strategy developed for Active power
filters by Akagi et al. in 1983.
This theory uses Clarke’s transformation which consists of real matrix that transform three
phase ‘V’ or ‘I’ into αβγ stationary reference frames.
10. Clarke’s Transformation and It’s
Inverse
•
For a 3-phase system without a neutral/ground, we can neglect the zero sequence
component to make the matrices as
13. Actual
Implementation of
p-q Theory in SAPF
These currents
and voltages are
taken as inputs to
the filter from
the line or load.
The powers to be
compensated are given
input. The compensator
should draw exactly the
given amount of current
that produces the inverse
of powers that are drawn
by the load.
Through
transformation,
we get the real
and imaginary
power values
By applying Inverse
Clarke's
transformation, we get
the actual abc
coordinates which can
be applied to the line
again.

24. Conclusion
•
From our MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation process, we have designed a power system which
consists of source, non-linear load and SAPF which is connected to the actual transmission
line after 0.1 seconds.
•
The initial peaks in the THD are during the time period when the SAPF has not been
connected to the power systems.
•
The maximum allowable limit of Total Harmonic Distortion as per IEEE 519_1992 regulations
is below 5% for bus voltages less than 69KV
•
Using our Shunt Active Power Filter, we have reduced the THD remarkably from 30% to
2.79% on the simulated power systems circuit.
