INTRODUCTION Now a day s power electronic eqipment s are mostly sed in indstrial and domestic prpose. This eqipment s have major impact on the qality of spply voltage and have increased the harmonic crrent content of stribtion systems. They have many negative effects on stribtion system side eqipment s and cstomer, sch as adtional losses in overhead and ndergrond cables, transformers and rotating electric machines, problem in the operation of the protection systems, over voltage and shnt capacitor, error of measring instrments, and malfnction of low efficiency of cstomer sensitive loads.the most important power qality problems are harmonics and high netral crrent.the definition of power qality given in the IEEE ctionary originates in IEEE Std1100: Power qality is the concept of powering and gronng sensitive eqipment in a manner that is sitable to the operation of that eqipment. Power qality problems are common in most of commercial and indstrial networks. Natral phenomena, sch as lightning are the most freqent case of power qality problems.also, the connection of high power non-linear loads contribtes to the generation of crrent and voltage harmonic content the major and critical power qality problems are voltage sags de to the high economical losses that can be generated [1]. For all these reasons, from the consmer point of view, power qality isses will become an increasingly important factor to consider in order satisfying good prodctivity. On the other hand, for the electrical spply indstry, the qality of power delivered will be one of the stingishing factors for ensring cstomer loyalty in this very competitive and dereglated market. Reactive power, Power factor, Harmonic stortion and oltage nbalance in power spply are the major problems of power qality. Accorng to IEEE-519, total harmonics stortion is defined as the smmation of the effective vale of the harmonics components in the storted waveform relative to the fndamental component. Passive filter have been sed trationally for minimizing the stortion de to harmonic crrent in indstrial power systems. Bt they have many drawbacks sch as resonance problem, dependency of their performance on the system impedance, absorption of harmonic crrent of nonlinear load, which cold lead to frther harmonic propagation throgh the power system [2].To overcome those problems active power filters is introdced. It has no sch drawbacks like passive filter. They inject harmonic voltage or crrent with appropriate magnitdes and phase angle into the system and cancel harmonics of nonlinear loads [9]. Bt it has also some drawbacks like high initial cost and high power losses de to which it limits there wide application, especially with high power rating system [3]. To minimize these limitations, hybrid power filter have been presented and implemented in practical system applications[4] - [8]. Shnt hybrid filter consists of an active power filter which is connected in series with the passive filter and with a three phase PWM inverter. This filter effectively mitigates the problem of a passive and active filter when sed alone. It provides cost effective harmonic compensation, particlarly for high power nonlinear load [5]. Several filter topologies for compensating harmonics and reactive power have been proposed in the literatre [9] [12]. In [9], a mlticonverter contioner topology formed by an activecontioner operating in parallel with a hybrid contioner hasbeen proposed. The hybrid contioner is a combination of one or morepassive filters in series with a low-rated active power filter(apf). The contioner compensates harmonic stortion, imbalance,and reactive power in three-phase for-wire systems.this topology constittes an effective soltion Page 936
IJSEAT, ol 2, Isse 12, December - 2014 at high-powerlevels, which is cost-effective becase of the kilovoltampererating redction of the inverters. A hybrid consists of a three-phase three-level netral pointclamped (NPC) inverter and a series connection of a three-levelh-bridge inverter with a novel control scheme to control thefloating voltage sorce of the Hbridge stage has been introdced in [10]. In this topology, the NPC inverter is sed to spplythe total active power while the H-bridges operate as seriesactive filters for the harmoniccompensation of the NPC otptvoltage. The rating of the series active filter is redced becaseit provides only the reactive power for the operationof the floating capacitor.different control techniqes are present for extracting harmonic components of the sorce crrent. Some of them are synchronos reference frame (SRF) transformation, instantaneos power (p-q) theory, etc. where high pass filters (HPF) are sed or extracting harmonic components of the sorce crrent from the fndamental components [6]. The proposed combination of SHPF and TCR is as shown Fig. 1 which compensates the reactive power and redces harmonic crrents. In adtion, it redces significantly the volt-ampere rating of the APF part. The SHPF consists of a small-rating APF connected in series with a fifth-tned Cpassive filter. The APF consists of a three-phase fll-bridge voltagesorce plse wih modlation (PWM) inverter with an indctor (,R ) and a dc bs capacitor (C ). The APF sstains very low fndamental voltages and crrents of the power grid, and ths, its rated capacity is greatly redced.considering the above mentioned merits, the presented combined topology is very appropriate in compensating reactive power and eliminating harmonic crrents in power system. The tned passive filter in parallel with TCR forms a shnt passive filter (SPF). This latter is mainly for fifth harmonic compensation and power factor correction. The small-rating APF is sed to mitigate the harmonics generated by the load and the TCR by enhancing the compensation characteristics of the SPF aside from eliminating the risk of resonance between the grid and the SPF. The TCR goal is to obtain a reglation of reactive power.the simlation reslts are listed in comparison of fferent control strategies and for the verification of reslts. II. MODEING AND CONTRO OF SHPF A. Modeling of SHPF The system eqations are first elaborated in 123 reference frame. Using Kirchhoff s voltage law, one can write d C d C d d C 1 i The switching fnction C of the k (for k 1, 2, 3) is defined as C (1) leg of the converter 1 if s is on and s is off 0 if s is off and s is on A switching state fnctiond { 1 3 (2) is defined as ( )} (3) Moreover, the absence of the zero seqence in the ac crrents and voltages and in the [d ] fnctions leads to the following transformed model in the three-phase coornates R i d v v v R i d v v v R i d v v v C d i d i cos cos d i (4) However, the model is time invariant dring a given switching state. Frthermore, the principle of operation of the SHPF reqires that the three state variables have to be controlled independently. The interaction between the inner crrent loop and the oter dc bs voltage loop can be avoided by adeqately separating their respective dynamics. Since the steady state fndamental components are sinsoidal, the system is transformed into the d-q reference frame at constant spply freqency. The conversion matrix is cos sin sin sin (5) Page 937

Then, by applying dqtransformation, the state space model of the system in the synchronos reference frame is obtained. B. Controlling of Harmonic Crrent A nonlinear control of SHPF is developed for crrent tracking and voltage reglation prposes. It is based on a decopled control strategy, which considers that the controlled system may be vided into an inner fast loop and an oter slow dc voltage loop, is adopted. Note that the first and the second time derivative TCR capacitor voltages have no significant negative impact on the performance of the proposed control techniqe becase their coefficients are too low. Conseqently, they can practically be ignored. By sing the d-q transformation, the decopled dynamics of the crrent tracking is obtained. The crrents idand i can be controlled independently. Frthermore, by sing proportional integral compensation, a fast dynamic response and zero steady- state errors can be achieved. The expressions of the tracking controllers are 1C ω R 1C ω i k i k k i k 1C ω R i i 1C ω i (6) Where i i*d idand i i*q i are crrent errors and i*dand i*qdenote the reference signals of idand i respectively. The transfer fnction of the proportional integral controllers is given as U (s) k G (s) k s i (s) U (s) k G (s) k (7) s i (s) Page 938

The closed-loop transfer fnctions of the crrent loops have the following form I (s) 2ζω I (s) s 2ζω s ω (9) whereω is the oter loop natral anglar freqency and ζ isthe damping factor. For the optimal vale of the damping factor ζ 2/2, the theoretical overshoot is 20.79%. The following design relations can be derived k k 2ζ 1C ω R 1C ω k k 1C ω ω (10) Note that the inpts q and q consist of a nonlinearity cancellation part and a linear decopling compensation part. C. DC Bs oltage Reglation The active filter prodces a fndamental voltage which is in-phase with fndamental leang crrent of the passive filter. A small amont of active power is formed de to the leang crrent and fndamental voltage of the passive filter and it delivers to the dc capacitor. Therefore, the electrical qantity adjsted by the dc-voltage controller is conseqently. The oter control loop of dc bs voltage is as shown in Fig. 3. To maintain eqal to its reference vale, the losses throgh the active filters resistive-indctive branches will be compensated by acting on the spply crrent eqation(4) can be rewritten as d R d i (11) The three-phase filter crrents are given by sin 2 2 sin (12) 3 3 4 sin 3 The fndamental filter r.m.s crrent I is i I (13) 3 Fig. 3 oter control loop of the dc bs voltage The q-axis active filter voltage q Z is expressed as i (14) Where ZPF1 is the impedance of the passive filter at 60 Hz and i*q1 is a dc component. q i (15) The control effort of the dc voltage loop is dedced i Z i (16) The dc component will force the SHPF-TCR compensator to generate or to draw a crrent at the fndamental freqency. To reglate the dc voltage the error *dc ispassed throgh a PI-type controller given by k k (17) The response of the dc bs voltage loop is a second-order transfer fnction and has the following form: (s) 2ζω (s) s 2ζω s ω (18) The closed-loop transfer fnction of dc bs voltage reglation is given as follows: Page 939
