Active Power Filter Based On Ann For Distribution System Power Quality Improvement
Abhishek Dubey , Suchi Mishra and Sachin Tiwari
Abstract
Nonlinear loads created by power electronics devices produce harmonic components in the current and voltage of the distribution system. Low power factor and imbalanced load are additional issues that the distribution systems face. This study offers a controller for an active power filter (APF) based on an artificial neural network (ANN). It uses a feedforward neural network that has been trained using the Levenberg-Marquardt method to generate pulses and a reference current for the inverter. The traditional and ANN-based controller models' experimentation by employing MATLAB/SIMULINK are reviewed. To keep the system balanced, the neutral current has been decreased.
