Control Strategy For Active Power Filter Based On P-Q Theory Under Non-Ideal Mains Voltages

Abstract

Harmonics on the electrical system is a disturbance that causes the waveform of currents and or voltages are distorted. Mitigation of harmonics needed to reduce the negative impacts. Active power filter (APF) is one method to reduce harmonic waves, which injects the opposite waveform with harmonic wave. P-Q Theory is used to calculate the reference current to compensate harmonics. But, P-Q Theory has weakness if applied under non-ideal mains voltage. Phase Lock Loop (PLL) is used to normalization the non-ideal main voltage before calculate the reference current. Based on the results of simulation and analysis show the effectiveness of the control strategy being used.
