Abstract
Abstract In the recent years, development of industry cause to increase nonlinear and time variant loads in power systems. These loads bring about power quality phenomena such as voltage and current harmonics, current unbalance and flicker in power systems. In this paper, an optimal method for active power filter is proposed to improve power quality. The control system of APF is based on combination of the synchronous detection method, instantaneous power theory, and output of DC capacitor voltage regulator. To stabilize the DC voltage and improvement of reference currents, PID controller is suggested. Regarding to intense changes of load in power system due to nonlinear load, PID controller with fixed parameters could not adequate for the APF control. Therefore, Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization method is proposed for optimizing of PID controller. This method is found on PSO and Fuzzy algorithm. To evaluate the proposed method, the APF is modeled in the worst conditions with a power system loaded with two electric arc furnace. In addition, in order to make good use of frequency changes in the power system, the power frequency estimation is put to use.
