Sliding mode control for performance improvement of shunt active power filter

The increased use of non-linear loads results in more harmonics content in the source current. Shunt active power filters are used for correction of distorted source current by injecting a compensating current in parallel to the load current. The injected current will shape the supply current to a sinusoidal. In this paper an improved performance of shunt active power filter is achieved by using sliding mode controller for generation of gate pulses of voltage source inverter. The implemented control technique has been evaluated and compared with hysteresis current control. The performance parameters used for evaluating the shunt active power filter are total harmonic distortion, power factor and harmonics compensation ratio. The simulation results show excellent performance of active power filter in terms of harmonics mitigation and dynamic response. Experimental tests are also performed using NI DAQ card in Labview environment to validate the simulation results. Both the simulation and experimental results prove good performance of sliding mode control for accurate injection of reference current.
