Abstract :
A detection technique for extraction of total harmonics, individual harmonics, and reactive current components is introduced and its performance is evaluated. The detection algorithm is then adopted as part of the control system of a single-phase active power filter (APF) to provide the required signals for harmonic filtering and reactive power compensation. Performance of the overall system is evaluated based on digital time-domain simulation studies. The APF control system including the signal processing algorithms are implemented in Matlab/Simulink fixed-point blockset to accommodate bit-length limitation which is a crucial factor in digital implementation. The power system including the APF, load and the supply system are simulated with the PSCAD/EMTDC software to which the Matlab-based control model is interfaced. The simulation results reflect the desired performance of the detection algorithm
