Study of Shunt Active Power filter for PV Generation System using MATLAB/SIMULINK Sujata.M.Bagi Assistant Professor Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering BLDEA’s CET, Bijapur, Karnataka, India Abstract— This Paper proposes the study of power filter for grid connected PV system. Power Quality is one of the emerging tasks in grid connected system. Typical grid connected solar system includes Photovoltaic system, Dc to DC Converters, three phase inverter, related power electronics devices and loads. Three phase inverter operates as shunt active power filter which inject current equal and opposite to that of load current and intern helps in reducing current harmonics and avoids the use of passive filter which effects the dynamic performance of the system. The overall system is to be checked for compensation under balanced and unbalanced load conditions. The model is analysed and simulated by using Matlab/ Simulink.

I. INTRODUCTION Renewable sources of energy are one of the emerging technology. Power quality issues and its mitigation play important role in grid connected system A grid connected photovoltaic system will be interacted with utility grid. If the power quality of the network is good then any load connected to it will run satisfactorily and efficiently. If the power quality of the network is bad, then loads connected to it will fail or will have a reduced lifetime, and the efficiency of the electrical installation will reduce. Increase in non-linearity causes different undesirable features like low system efficiency and poor power factor. Due to presence of linear and nonlinear loads the changing impedance means that the current drawn by the non-linear load will not be sinusoidal even when it is connected to a sinusoidal voltage. These non-sinusoidal currents contain harmonic currents that interact with the impedance of the power distribution system to create voltage distortion that can affect both the distribution system equipment and the loads connected to it.So to reduce the current harmonics shunt active power filter is to be used which is connected in parallel to grid. Grid connected photovoltaic system generation systems needs harmonic compensation, control of unbalanced current, an improved power factor, and anti-islanding methods [3]..Grid connected PV system yields different kind of challenges so it is necessary to develop power electronics devices with modern control strategy.

Fig. 1: Block diagram of PV system interfaced with the grid The PV array is regulated by a DC/DC boost converter to a fixed dc output, and is used to provide the power required for the load inverter operates as a shunt active power filter (APF) [ 3] and adopted with non linear control scheme in order to compensate voltage unbalances, harmonics, reactive power and supply voltage fluctuation . IV. SHUNT-CONNECTED ACTIVE POWER FILTER Figure2 shows the Shunt active power filters which compensate load current harmonics by injecting equal-but opposite harmonic compensating current. It works similar to static compensator [4]. The shunt active power filter operates as a current source injecting the harmonic components generated by the load.

Ideal compensation requires the mains current to be sinusoidal and in phase with the source voltage, irrespective of the load current nature. The desired source currents, after compensation, can be given as isa ∗ =Isp sinwt (1) isb ∗ =Isp sin(wt120) (2) isc ∗ =Isp sin(wt+120) (3) The rotating synchronous-frame proportionalintegral (PI) controller is used in three-phase inverters to obtain a zero steady-state error[5]

VII. SIMULINK RESULTS The Matlab/ Simulink software tool is used to test the results. During the photovoltaic model simulation, the temperature parameter [1] was set at constant value 25°C and the irradiance parameter was set at 1000 W/m2 respectively. PV array Output Voltage 240V and Current 82A as shown in Figure 4.
