Voltage source Inverter Based three-phase shunt active Power Filter: Topology, Modeling and Control Strategies

Shunt active power filters (shunt APFs) represent the most important and most widely used filters in industrial purposes, this is due not only to the fact that they eliminate the harmonic current with a neglected amount of active fundamental current supplied to compensate system losses, but also they are suitable for a wide range of power ratings. Modern power electronic devices such as IGBTs allowed to configure non- harmonic generating shunt APFs, this paper focuses on this type of configuration namely the voltage source inverter based three- phase shunt active power filters aiming to present an overview on the mater.
