Fuzzy Logic Controlled Shunt Active Power Filter for Harmonic Compensation and Power Quality Improvement

Abstract

In this paper, a shunt active power filter based on fuzzy logic controller is modeled, simulated, and tested. The fundament of Instantaneous Reactive Power Algorithm is used for extracting compensated reference harmonic current. A fuzzy logic controlled shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) Using Hysteresis Band Current (HBC) is applied to regulate the DC capacitor voltage of (SAPF) in order to improve the active filter dynamic, to ensure sinusoidal source currents and to produce a high power quality. The main goal of the proposed active filtering system is to maintain the THD well within IEEE-519 on harmonics levels. Simulation results through MATLAB/Simulink are presented and interpreted. It is demonstrated that the fuzzy logic controller improves the performance of the active power filter. The implementation of a shunt active power filter has high performance characteristics by using dSPACE syste
