Dynamic Performance Improvement of Three Phase Shunt Active Power Filter Using Predictive Direct Power Control

This paper proposes a predictive direct power control for shunt active power filter. The main object of the proposed strategy is to compensate for undesirable harmonics in the source current and eliminate reactive power, while being characterized by high transient dynamics. The carried out simulations lead to results that clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed direct power control algorithm in terms of current harmonics elimination, active power quality improvement, and reactive power minimization.
