| Summary: | This project presents the employment of a single-phase active power filter
(APF) to compensate harmonics generated by battery charger. The presence of the
harmonics leads to various problems and poor power quality. The objectives of this
project are to reduce the harmonic distortion and improve the power factor of the
single-phase system with battery charger load. The operation of APF is verified using
the simulations in Matlab/Simulink. Artificial neural network (ANN) control based
shunt APF is compared to proportional-integral (PI) controller in order to regulate
the DC-bus voltage and hysteresis current controller is employed to generate signal
for switching purpose. The process is based on sensing line voltages, line currents,
filter currents and DC side capacitor voltage. The error signal caused by the filter has
been computed firstly. Then this error signal has been compensated using the
controller and generates reference line current. The reference filter currents signal
then obtained by subtracts the reference line current with the load current. This
reference filter current is feed to the hysteresis current controller and compare with
the sensed filter currents to obtain the switching signal for active power filter.
Simulation results show that the ANN controller based shunt APF has better
performance which has reduced harmonic distortion and improve system
performance compared to the use of conventional PI controller.
