Abstract :
Investigation on the performance of Series Active Filter (SAF) in a low voltage distribution system with non linear loads is presented in this paper. Two control schemes like PI controller based Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) switching and hysteresis voltage controller based switching have been employed in this investigation. The percentage total harmonic distortion of the compensated load voltage has been considered as a measure for comparison. It has been observed from the simulation results under various loading conditions that the performance of SAF with hysteresis voltage controller is appreciable.
