Abstract

The main objective of this study is to mitigate current harmonic issues in hybrid renewable energy systems based on solar photovoltaic (SPV) and wind energy distribution. This is achieved with the help of a suitable controller-based shunt active power filter (SAPF). The SAPF is designed using a modified synchronous reference frame (MSRF) to reference current generation, an adaptive hysteresis current controller (AHCC) for switching pulse generation, and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for DC-link voltage regulation. The results of the proposed SAPF model developed in MATLAB/Simulink, show that the filter performs remarkably well in suppressing harmonics under different loading conditions. It is capable of fast corrective action under dynamic conditions and outperforms previous methods in terms of harmonic mitigation and dc-link voltage stabilization. The control techniques are compared on the basis of parameters such as harmonic compensation and dc-link voltage ripple reduction capability under changing load conditions. The results obtained through simulation represent the validity of the filter performance.
