Performance evaluation of 3-phase series active filter in a grid tied PV-system employing sinusoidal current control strategy

Abstract

The basic aim of the electric power sector is to produce power as when required at the suitable sites, then transmitting and distributing to various load centres or consumers, retaining the quality (sustaining frequency and voltage at stated value) and fidelity of supply at an economical tariff. The primary purpose is to have a brief idea about various power quality advancement techniques and to learn the prospects of various harmonic mitigation methods with a focus on Sinusoidal current control strategy (SCCS). The SCCS is a time domain control strategy established on instantaneous p-q theory. The control strategy has been elaborated here in details and has been implemented using MATLAB 2016A. The results have been given and described in details explaining efficacy of the above control strategy. Since sinusoidal current control strategy is a simple and effective control strategy it has tremendous potential for application in the Distributed Generation oriented system. Further researches can be extended toward application machine learning techniques for the improvisation of control performance of the active power filters.
