Abstract
The active power filters are members of harmonic filtering family which is made up of embedded power electronic devices and it is used for enhancing power quality. However, while addressing harmonic distortion, an overcompensation stemming from step response might occur, leading an extended settling time, thus, driving the system into oscillation. Not all but also, the challenges associated with the control of output LCL filter of APF connected inverter originates from the resonance problem. Therefore, this paper analyses passive damping solutions to suppress the resonance problems of an LCL filter. Six passive damping remedies were considered, according to the location of the damping term. A capacitor with a series resistor, which is widely used is proposed among the six passive damping techniques. The simulations are carried-out using MATLAB/Simulink. The results, compared to others, depict the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD) as well as power loss at the fundamental frequency.
