Experimental Verification of Photovoltaic-based Three-phase Four-wire Series Hybrid Active Power Filter

Abstract—This article proposes a photovoltaic and battery interfaced series hybrid active power filter, which is comprised of a series active power filter and an inductor-capacitor (LC) shunt passive filter. The main benefits of the proposed system provide the compensation against the voltage harmonics, current harmonics, and voltage interruption for the whole day. A series active power filter demands a source of energy for compensating the voltage sag/swell. The proposed topology utilizes the green energy source with an energy storage unit to meet the DC-link voltage requirement of the series active power filter. The control strategy is based on the dual formulation of the compensation system principles with adaptive fuzzy logic controller. The simulation and experimental studies are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed photovoltaic interfaced three-phase four-wire series hybrid active power filter.
