Design and Simulation of Hybrid Shunt Active Filter for PQ Improvement using PID Genetic Algorithm Controller in 3ϕ-4 Wire System

Abstract

Abstract This paper provides an economical solution and advanced method by tuning and optimizing system for power in the transmission line. The proposed system uses PID Genetic Algorithm (GA) controller in three phase four wire system for Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) minimization under balanced load conditions. In this article, traction load model is taken into consideration to evaluate the designed Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) for reduction of harmonics in three phase four wire system. Many existing SAPF models were tested using non-linear diode rectifier load for analysis. The GA technique for the reduction of harmonics is used to tune PID parameters such as a proportional (Kp), Integrator (Ki), and Derivative (Kd). In contrast with other controllers such as PI Controller, Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), Hysteresis Controller (HC), Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) and Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRFT), the performance of the proposed controller is compared. The performance of the designed controller with GA adjusted PID is validated at various loading conditions by comparing it to the performance of the existing system. The outcomes are addressed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the created system.
