Shunt Active Power Filter Based on Cascaded

Transformers Coupled with Three-Phase
Bridge Converters
Introduction:
Distribution power systems are suffering hard impact on their
power quality. This is due to the intensive use of nonlinear loads
added with the growth of renewable energy sources. Such aspects
have been leading electrical systems to poor power quality levels.
Most common disturbances include: i) harmonic voltages/currents, ii)
voltages imbalances, iii) voltage sags/swells, iv) flickers, v) transients
and vi) interruptions. Non-linear loads and unbalanced loads are the
main reasons of the injected current harmonics and reactive power
components at the grid, leading to a low system efficiency with a poor
power factor. Extensive surveys have been carried out to quantify
these problems. In this way, some custom power devices have been
introduced and investigated in the literature. Initially, the harmonic
current and reactive power compensations have been treated with
passive L-C filters and capacitors. However, this solution has
disadvantages associated with fixed compensation and resonance
effect on the power system.
Existing system:
The shunt active power filter (SAPF) is commonly composed
by: i) voltage source converter (VSC) or current source converter
(CSC), i) dc-link capacitors, iii) optional passive filters, iv) optional
isolation transformers and v) protection circuits (e.g., bypass

thyristors). In this paper, the SAPF considered is composed by VSC

type with isolation transformers. There are several types of topologies
to be used in VSC configuration. Generally, the two-level (2L) based
VSC is commonly used for a 480V voltage rating (i.e., low power
applications). Nevertheless, for high power applications, such as
distribution voltages levels, the multilevel-based VSC becomes a
more attractive solution. However, those multilevel configurations
have disadvantages associated to the high number of dc-link
capacitors that, depending on the configuration, can increase the
control complexity. For instance, cascaded neutral point-clamped
(NPC) and cascaded flying capacitors have issues with imbalance dclink voltages and power sharing in each cell.

Proposed system:
In this project, a SAPF based on cascaded transformer coupled
with three-phase-bridge (TPB) converters is proposed, Such a
structure is generalized for K-stages in which K transformers are
coupled with K-TPB converters. Equivalent multilevel operation is
achieved with reduced number of semiconductors devices if
compared to conventional HB one. The multilevel waveforms are
generated by TPB converters by using suitable PWM strategy
associated with the transformers turns ratio. The modularity and
