Abstract

The use of variable speed drives in industries introduces harmonics that should be attenuated so as to improve the power quality. To overcome the shortcomings of the traditional passive filters in electric power system, shunt active power line conditioners (APLC) are employed. The regulation of DC capacitor voltage plays a vital role in deciding the performance of shunt APLC. Several intelligent controllers have been developed for the voltage control; however, due to high uncertainties associated with the electric power system, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2 FLC) is proposed. This work compares IT2 FLC, type-1 fuzzy-tuned proportional integral (PI) controller, and their performances are assessed with reference to conventional PI controller using MATLAB. Thus, the paper deals with the investigation of three-level Multi-Level Inverter which is used as shunt APLC in high-power applications using a fuzzy logic scheme.
