Abstract

This paper proposes a novel low-cost switched power filter compensator (SFC). This proposed SFC is considered as a new topology of distribution FACTS. The proposed SFC scheme is based on a switching on/off process for connecting /disconnecting double tuned arm filters intermittently with two parallel capacitor-banks. The parallel capacitor-banks are connected at the two sides of series capacitor bank. When the switch is on, the SFC works as a double tuned filter while when the switch is off, the SFC works as series/shunt compensator. The switching process is controlled by a pulsing signal generated from PWM circuit. The modulation control signal of PWM is generated from a multi-loop traditional control. The Matlab Simulink environment is used to validate the ability of SFC to mitigate power quality problems, stabilize the system voltage and enhance the system power factor. The results show that the effectiveness of SFC to solve the system quality problems. This novel topology might be extended to be used with renewable energy resources interconnection and microgrids performance applications.
