JEE_V5_N2_RP4 Jarupula Somlal M. Venu Gopala Rao Journal on Electrical Engineering 2230 – 7176 5 2 20 26 Active Power Filter (APF), Reference Voltage Vector, Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM), Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) This paper presents a control method for hybrid active power filter using Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM). In the proposed control method, the Active Power Filter (APF) reference voltage vector is generated instead of the reference current, and the desired APF output voltage is generated by SVPWM. A MATLAB code is developed to generate the SVPWM switching pulses fed to the two-level inverter topology. The entire power system block set model of the proposed scheme has been developed in MATLAB environment. The developed control algorithm is simple. The APF based on the proposed method can eliminate harmonics, compensate reactive power and balance load asymmetry. Simulation results show the feasibility of the APF with the proposed control method. December 2011 Copyright © 2011 i-manager publications.
