ABSTRACT

In Chapter 3, type 1 fuzzy logic controller (FLC)–based shunt active filter (SHAF) control strategies with different fuzzy membership functions (MFs) were discussed. Simulation and real-time results were also presented. Even though type 1 FLC-based shunt active filter control strategies with different fuzzy MFs are able to mitigate the harmonics, notches are present in the source current. So to mitigate the harmonics perfectly, one has to choose the perfect controller. In this chapter, the proposed type 2 FLC-based shunt active filter control strategies with different fuzzy MFs are introduced. Detailed simulation results using MATLAB®/ Simulink® software are presented to support the feasibility of the proposed control strategies. With this approach, the compensation capabilities of SHAF are extremely good.
