An Overview of Improvement of the Electrical Energy Quality using a Shunt Active Filter Supplied by a Photovoltaic Generator
Shahzad Ahsan, Faiz Ahmad, Rashid Mustafa
Abstract
The issue of the quality of the electricity supplied to consumers has surfaced during the usage of the traditional electrical network for a number of years. This is because nonlinear loads are becoming more and more prevalent on the network; they are a source of harmonic pollution, which causes many disruptions and impairs the efficient operation of electrical equipment. In this work, we suggest a method for simultaneously compensating the reactive power and the harmonic currents caused by the nonlinear loads. This is achieved by using a Shunt Active Filter that is provided by a solar generator. The PWM control approach is employed in the control and regulation algorithm of the three-phase inverter that functions as a harmonics compensator. We start by identifying the reference currents, which enable us to regulate the injected currents into the network. This is made possible by a regulator that establishes the PWM control inverter's reference voltage. Finally, we were able to get extremely strong compensation performances in terms of a decrease in the harmonic distortion rate and an increase in the power factor thanks to the numerical simulation of the photovoltaic compensation system that we used in this study.
