Abstract


This paper investigates the performance of series active power filter strategy for compensating source voltage disturbances occurring in a power distribution system. The SAPF (series active power filter) is configured from three phase voltage source inverter with DC link capacitor. The control strategy is based on the dual formulation instantaneous reactive power for extracting reference signals for compensating the PQ (power quality) problems. Simulations have carried out on the MATLAB-Simulink platform with different operating conditions, which enhances the effectiveness of the topology of series active power filter for voltage profile improvement. Experimental and Simulation results are presented.

Keywords
