Elimination of Voltage Harmonic Produced by SSSC by Using Series Active Power Filter.

This paper describes the development of a series active power filter with hysteresis control, which allows

harmonics and zero-sequence voltage compensation. Here, the series active filter play an important role in

harmonic voltage cancellation produced by Static Synchronous Series Compensator SSSC when is

connected in the electrical network. The active filter controller is based on the instantaneous power theory

(p-q theory) and was simulated by using MATLAB SIMULINK. The p-q theory is introduced followed

by the presentation of some active power filters topologies. Then a brief descr iption of the implemented solution is made, using references of software tools used for simulation and system development. The obtained results are also presented, showing the good performance of the developed active filter.
