Abstract

In this paper, a predictive current control technique is utilized to generate switching pulses for four-leg-shunt active power filter (FL-shunt active power filter). The d-q theory technique is executed for removing the reactive and harmonic components of load current. MATLAB-based simulation and FPGA-controlled experimentation have been carried out to evaluate the behavior of predictive current control technique under dynamic and heterogeneous loading conditions. The 3-phase induction machine is considered as a dynamic load, and the capability of FL-shunt active power filter is assessed for compensating the reactive power. The compensation behavior of FL-shunt active power filter is observed with heterogeneous load, which is an amalgamation of dynamic and unstable static loads. Under steady-state and transient conditions, the simulation and experimentation results demonstrate that the proposed technique makes the supply current sinusoidal as well as balanced; compensates the reactive power; maintains near to unity power factor at the point of common coupling (PCC); and annuls the current flow in neutral conductor.
