Abstract

This paper discusses power system power quality issues and possible remedies using power electronics. Several worldwide standards This research shows how a Shunt active power filter can improve power quality in a microgrid system at the distribution level. The major goal of this study is to find an appropriate pulse generating strategy for improving the shunt active power filter's compensation capabilities. The device's compensating capability is mostly determined by the DC link capacitor voltage regulation. A fixed hysteresis current control approach has been employed in the past. An adaptive hysteresis current control technique has been developed here to improve the performance of a shunt active power filter. The suggested technique's performance has been verified in the MA TLAB/SIMULINK model platform under various operating conditions.
