 Introduction
●
Shunt active power filter (SAPF) has now become a well-known
sophisticated technology to overcome current harmonics and reactive
power compensation issues.
●
Harmonic and reactive power has developed, causing power quality
problems in the power system.
●
To overcome this problem shunt active power filter use.
●
Shunt active power filters compensate load current harmonics by
injecting equal but opposite harmonic compensating current.
●
Shunt active power filter use for compensation of harmonics and
reactive power.

Schematic representation of the SAPF

 Reference Current Generation Schemes for SAPF

Ø
Instantaneous p-q theory
Ø
Instantaneous Active and Reactive current
Ø
Synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory
Ø
Unit vector template generation (UVTG)
 Instantaneous p-q theory
Ø
Instantaneous reactive power theory (IRPT) or p-q theory is to calculate the
desired compensation current instantaneously by using only algebraic equations.
 Instantaneous Active and Reactive current
Ø
In instantaneous active and reactive current component (Id-Iq) method angle “θ”
is calculated directly from main voltages and thus enables the method to be
frequency independent.
 Synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory
Ø
SRF control technique is based on transformation of current from a-b-c frame
to the synchronously rotating d-q frame.
 Comparative Study of Control Techniques
Ø
p-q theory:
v
It is instantaneous.
v
It has only algebraic calculations.
v
IRP theory has advantage that obtained fundamental components of active and
reactive power are DC quantities. As these signals are DC quantities, α-β reference
frame is unaffected by any phase shift introduced by low pass filter
v
Valid in steady state & transient conditions.
Ø
Id-Iq theory
v
“θ” is directly calculated from main voltages & thus enables method to be frequency
independent.
Ø
SRF theory:
v
It utilizes the measured load current in order to derive the reference signals without
the use of grid voltage.
v
Any non DC component presented can be filtered easily because the fundamental
components tuned as DC components.
Ø
Id-Iq theory
v
“θ” is directly calculated from main voltages & thus enables method to be frequency
independent. Thus large no of synchronization problems with unbalanced and non
sinusoidal voltages are also avoided.
v
Better harmonic compensation performance .
Ø
Unit vector template generation (UVTG) theory:
v
The extraction of positive sequence component of 3-ph supply voltages are based on
unit vector template generation.
v
A PLL is used to extract the pure sinusoidal signal at fundamental frequency. It gives
signal in terms of sine and cosine functions.
v
It requires lesser number of sensor counts and computation delay.
Ø
Combined p-q and UVTG theory:
v
When the source voltage is distorted, the compensation current of conventional p-q
control strategy will not be sinusoidal. So PLL is applied to eliminate the distortion
in the supply voltage before applying to the conventional P-Q control strategy.
 Conclusion
In the presentation the reference source current generation for three
phase shunt active power filter is done using instantaneous active and
Reactive power theory(P-Q),instantaneous active and reactive current
(Id-Iq) ,Synchronous reference theory to overcome current harmonics
and reactive power compensation issues. Filters compensate load current
harmonics by injecting equal but opposite harmonic compensating
current.
