Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid control strategy that integrates Adaptive Predictive Deadbeat Current Control with a Non-Integral AC Capacitor Voltage Monitoring Method to enhance the performance and reliability of Shunt Hybrid Active Power Filters (SHAPFs). The proposed approach combines the precision and fast dynamic response of predictive deadbeat control for harmonic compensation with a novel non-integral method for calculating the AC capacitor voltage, mitigating the risk of overvoltage without the accumulation of errors typical in integral-based methods. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements over traditional methods. The proposed approach reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) from 21% to 2.8%, achieving a improvement over conventional PI-based controllers. The non-integral voltage monitoring method maintains an error of less than 1.2 V, compared to 3.8 V drift in integral-based calculations, enhancing accuracy. Additionally, the system successfully detects overvoltage conditions, ensuring robust protection and reliability. The hybrid approach also maintains THD below values, proving its adaptability to real-world parameter fluctuations. These quantitative results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving power quality, ensuring accurate voltage monitoring, and enhancing the stability of SHAPFs in practical applications.

Keywords: Shunt Hybrid Active Power Filter (SHAPF), Adaptive Predictive Deadbeat Control, Non-Integral Voltage Calculation, Harmonic Compensation, AC Capacitor Voltage Monitoring, Power Quality, Overvoltage Protection, Real-Time Control, Passive Power Filter (PPF), Active Power Filter (APF).
