Power Quality Improvement Using Different Control Techniques in Hybrid Filters

The new trends of custom power devices (CPD) has vastly improved due to cost effective and improved reactive power management. The CPD-like hybrid active filter (HAF) is proposed in this literature using various current control approaches to enhance power quality (PQ) by controlling harmonics reduction and managing reactive power. With steady-state and transient situations, three different controlling techniques are adopted in this research. Performance of the proposed approaches' is evaluated using the MATLAB/Simulink tool, and the overall percentage of total harmonic distortions (THD) is calculated following IEEE harmonic standards.
