Abstract
This paper presents a novel technique for mitigation of line and neutral current harmonics in three-phase distribution systems. The proposed system uses three-phase, four wires, PWM bi-directional converter with battery storage. The converter is connected to the utility supply through link inductors. The line harmonic currents are reduced based on a principle that the current flows through the link inductor will contain purely fundamental frequency if the voltage across the inductor is pure sinewave. Beside its function as an active filter, the system can additionally function as load voltage stabiliser, neutral current mitigator and reactive power copensator. Results from simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC and laboratory tests are presented in this paper.
