Improvement of the Electric Energy Quality While Using a Super-Compensator

Abstract:

This paper is a contribution to improve the quality of the electrical energy, of which we study a new compensator that is a combination between a parallel active filter and an UPQC. The two FAP parts use a method of identification of the disruptive currents taking as a basis on calculates it of the reference currents from the components fundamental of the load current relative to the active and reactive continuous powers. that is based on the calculated reference currents from the fundamental components of the load current on the active and the reactive continuous power. That is metered to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of this compensator. We were compared it with the UPQC under the same operating conditions. The results of this work have shown that this new control method and highly efficient and super- compensator also gave satisfactory results compared to the UPQC in the case where the load is doubled.
