Abstract

Nonlinear roads have destructive effects in power systems. Active filters have been used as a solution to this problem. The main prohibitive factor in this method is the cost of high-speed and high-current formula, it is shown that using multilevel inverters in active power filters can decrease the switching frequency; while sustaining the same specific performance. Basides, a fuzzy space-vector method is developed for controling a three-phase multilevel active filter. The simulation results confirm the suitable performance of the filter using this control method.
