Abstract

A combined system of shunt passive and series active filter for a four-wire three-phase system has been designed and simulated with Matlab/Simulink. The system combined mitigates the source current harmonics and compensates also unbalance voltages reducing the problems of using only a shunt passive filter. Therefore, a new control method based in the power vectorial theory has been proposed. The compensation principle is presented in detail. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed control, simulation results are presented and discussed.
