Abstract [eng] The proliferation of matrix converter interfaces coupled with traditional loads produces nonstandard and high-frequency harmonics in the range of (2 to 150) kHz in the power system. Although several research works have been conducted on passive and active filter solutions, most of these are low-frequency (below 2 kHz) solutions and are not effective under supraharmonic frequencies. An experimental study of a fuzzy-inference-system-controlled hybrid active power filter (HAPF) for the attenuation of higher frequency harmonics (above 8 kHz) is proposed. The compensational approach introduced is different from traditional approaches and the use of the fuzzy logic controller eliminates complexities involved in active filter designs. The proposed filter obtained a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 1.16% of the fundamental 50 Hz supply frequency. The performance of the proposed hybrid filter was compared with that of the proportional and integral (PI) controlled topology. The results obtained indicated superior performance of the fuzzy logic controller over the PI in terms of compensational speed, accuracy, the THD of the supply current and the overall integrity of the matrix converter. Illustrative design blocks and simulation in MATLAB/Simulink environment are provided to buttress these findings.
