It is used to compensate reactive power and eliminate harmonics drawn from a thyristor rectifier feeding an inductive load （RL） under distorted voltage conditions. The APF control strategy is based on the use of self-tuning filters （STF） for reference current generation and a fuzzy logic current controller. The use of STF instead of classical extraction filters allows extracting directly the voltage and current fundamental components in the a-fl axis without phase locked loop （PLL）. The MATLAB fuzzy logic toolbox is used for implementing the fitzzy logic control algorithm. The obtained results show that the proposed shunt APF controller has produced a sinusoidal supply current with low harmonic distortion and in phase with the line voltage.展开更多

The controller modifies the optimal gains ki by minimizing a cost function, and the phase angle of the AC output voltage to control the active and reactive power output from an FCPP to match the terminal load. The control actions are based on feedback signals from the terminal load, output voltage and fuel cell feedback current. The topology chosen for the simulation consists of a 45 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell （PEMFC）, boost type DC/ DC converter, a three-phase DC/AC inverter followed by an LC filter. Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy operated at low commutation frequency （2 kHz） offers good performances versus load variations with low total harmonic distortions （THD）, which is very useful for high power applications.展开更多
