The power system's operation can be enriched by using PV systems like improvement in voltage profile, reducing energy losses in the distribution feeder, and reducing the load of the tap changer transformer during peak hours. In PV technology, lots of development is going on. A shunt active shunt filter (SAPF) operated as a harmonic conductance can suppress harmonic resonance in the distribution power system. This project presents an active filter with resonant current control to suppress harmonic resonance. The current control is realized by parallel-connected band-pass filters tuned at harmonic frequencies to ensure that the active filter functions as an approximately pure conductance. The proposed method has good accuracy in extracting fundamental active component of distorted and unbalanced load currents with reduced mathematical computations.

This paper deals with the improvement of the energy quality using shunt active power filter. The three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic generator consists in solar panels, a three-phase voltage inverter connected to the grid and a nonlinear load constituted by a diode rectifier bridge supplying a resistive load in series with an inductor. In so doing, three main challenges arise from the application context. First, the harmonic currents and the reactive power must be compensated. The second challenge is the injection of active solar energy into the grid. Third, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) must be found. This paper proposes a method addressing those challenges. For the first and the second one, direct current and power controls is used. For the third challenge, an algorithm is proposed which take in account the electrical variables and the variation of the solar irradiation. Simulation results of the proposed method are shown. The method is illustrated with two different str...
Advanced Control and Observation of Shunt Active Power Filter Connected to PV System
We consider the problem of controlling single-phase shunt active power filter operating in presence of nonlinear loads. The filter is connected to PV system; this latter provides the active power to load. The main control objectives are: (i) compensation of harmonics current and the reactive power caused by the nonlinear load; (ii) regulation of the output voltage of PV system to track its reference provided by the MPPT block. The problem is dealt with a nonlinear controller involving two regulators in cascade. The PFC regulator is developed by using the Lyapunov technique to cope with the compensation issue based on the estimated grid voltage values provided by an observer. The outer-loop regulates the output voltage of PV system. The proposed controller performances are confirmed by simulation in MATLAB\Simulink.
Execution of advanced solar‐shunt active filter for renewable power application
Energy Conversion and Economics, 2021
This manuscript proposes a novel Solar-shunt active filter (solar-SHAF) controller for improving the power flow in a larger power-application. The proposed fault and nonlinear detection unit (FANDU) avails faster disturbance detection. A novel FAND regulator (FANDR) is suggested to disconnect the solar power generation from the considered system within 10-12 s and the total inverter capacity is used for providing reactive power support to compensate the power fluctuation. A solar active power regulator (SAPR) is proposed to restore the active power output of the solar plant in a ramp-wise manner after the successful damping of the power fluctuations. The restoration of rated solar power results offers a faster settling time in comparison to the standard grid code limits. The proposed approach is applicable for light, dark, and partial shading conditions. During the dark period, the total inverter capacity is used to compensate the power fluctuations and in partial shading conditions, the inverter is used to balance the solar power at its rated limit. The overall system is designed and tested through MATLAB software by considering different test conditions. It is analyzed that the suggested approach facilitates a significant improvement in power exchange on a 24/7 basis during the local and inter-area fluctuating mode.

This article presents a harmonic compensation system using a photovoltaic generator (GPV) to improve the supply power quality. The proposed configuration is constituted by a grid connected three-phase inverter, a PV array and a nonlinear load formed by a bridge rectifier feeding a resistive load in series with an inductor. An indirect current control via the method of active and reactive power is proposed to compensate the harmonic currents and reactive power at the point of common coupling while injecting active power from the solar system to the grid. The perturb and observe (P&O) method has been applied to track the maximum power point. The proposed system simulation under MATLAB/Simulink environment proves the robustness of the proposed control approach that simultaneously guarantees the compensation of harmonic currents, the correction of the power factor and the injection of PV power to the grid.
