Abstract

This paper describes a shunt active power filter with a control system based on the instantaneous active and reactive power method (p-q method), and obtained its performance through simulation results with different types of loads. This method has been broadly used to generate the reference for compensation current in active power filters (APFs). Harmonic control strategy is applied to compensate the current harmonics in the system. The simulations are carried out with PI controller for the control strategies for different voltage condition. Under balanced and unbalanced voltage condition it is found that the instantaneous active and reactive power component has a better harmonic compensation performance.
