Abstract

With the increase in load demand, the renewable energy sources (RES) are increasingly connected in the distribution systems which utilize power electronic converters. The use of non-linear loads in the power system will lead to the generation of current and voltage harmonics and which in turn deteriorates the power quality (PQ) of the power system as a whole. This paper presents a control strategy for maximizing the utilization of Three Bridge Four Wire (TBFW) inverters when installed in 3-phase distribution generation (DG) systems. The inverter is controlled in such a manner that it can perform as a conventional inverter as well as an active power filter (APF). The inverter can thus be utilized as a power converter injecting power generated from RES to the grid and as a shunt APF to compensate the power quality disturbances and the load reactive power demand. This paper will discuss the simulation results of TBFW inverter with shunt APF functionality under non-linear load conditions using MATLAB/Simulink program.
