Power Quality Enhancement by Using Multilevel Shunt Active Power Filter with Renewable Energy Sources

Abstract

A Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) based Shunt Active Power Filter(APF) is considered in this paper. Single MLI-APF is used as both Interfacing converter that processes and connects generated PV power to grid and also for improvement of power Quality of the Whole system. As Majority of the Renewable systems comprises at least two converters for these tasks, the proposed system may be treated as simple and economical in meeting the same objectives. Use of MLIs reduces stress on power electronic devices because they can be made to operate at low voltages compared to the conventional two level converters. The output voltage provided by MLIs has small voltage steps, that results in good power quality and low-harmonic components. Peak detection method of control strategy is employed in MLI-APF for power quality improvement. The proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
