Power Quality Quality of the current and voltage provided to the customers • Providing customers with a pure sinusoidal waveforms at 50 Hz without any deviations. • Providing power to allow sensitive electronic equipment operate reliably. Any deviation from a perfect sinusoidal waveform that can results in failure or mis-operation of customer equipment
sin(5x) f(x) = 5 sin(5x) f(x) = sin(x) + 5 What are Harmonics • Harmonics • A sinusoidal voltage or current having frequencies that are integral multiples of the power frequency. In the resultant wave the sinusoidal character is lost f(x) = sin(x) = +
Sources of Harmonics Modern electronic equipments such as • personal or notebook computers • laser printers • fax machines • telephone systems, stereos, radios, TVs • adjustable speed drives and variable frequency drives • battery chargers, UPS, and any other equipment powered by switched-mode power supply (SMPS) equipment Non-linear loads: draw current only a part of the voltage cycle Non-linear load devices create harmonics when they convert ac to dc, dc to dc, dc to ac, and ac to ac
Harmonics Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) It is the ratio between the RMS value of the harmonic currents to the fundamental current.
Harmonics Sources Examples Computer Rectifiers THD = 20 to 60% THD = 80 to 140%
Effects of Harmonics • Over heating of Transformer • Excessive neutral current • Damage of sensitive electronic equipments • Tripping of Circuit Breakers • Low system efficiency • Poor power factor • Skin Effect • Interference in the nearby communication systems
Recommended limits - IEEE 519 The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has set recommended limits on both current and voltage distortion in IEEE 519-1992. Voltage Harmonic Distortion Limits
Harmonic Current Limits • Isc: Maximum short-circuit current at the Point of Common • Coupling (PCC). • IL: Maximum demand load current (fundamental) at • the PCC.

Research Objectives This research work focuses on developing suitable control techniques and reference current extraction method for the shunt active filter for three phase 3-wire and three phase 4-wire system. The objectives are • To develop an effective and reliable control strategy for three phase shunt active filter to suppress harmonic currents and compensate reactive power under ideal, non-ideal source voltage condition and also it should maintain a constant switching frequency. • To develop an effective reference current calculation method to extract the harmonics content present in the load current under ideal, non-ideal and noisy voltage source condition. • To develop a suitable voltage controller to maintain constant voltage across the DC bus capacitor.
Hysteresis current controller When the current through the inductor exceeds the upper hysteresis limit a negative voltage is applied by the inverter to the inductor. This causes the current in the inductor to decrease. Once the current reaches the lower hysteresis limit a positive voltage is applied by the inverter to the inductor and this causes the current to increase and the cycle repeats.
Current Extraction Techniques Methods • Time domain Techniques • Frequency Domain Techniques - Large number of calculation is involved hence it is less practical. Time Domain Technique • Harmonics extraction methods in the time domain are based on instantaneous derivation of compensating signals in the form of either voltage or current signals from distorted and harmonic polluted voltage or current signals.

Switching Frequency • The switching frequency is varying between 19kHz to 20kHz • The switching loss gets increases
Constant Frequency Hysteresis Current Control generates switching pulses based on the prediction of current error and its slope and the past switching ON/OFF time of the switches in the inverter. In this technique, the hysteresis bandwidth need not be specified in the entire control algorithm.
Calculation of Switching Time The switching time is calculated from the system parameters
