FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER BASED ON POWER FACTOR CORRECTIONS WITH COMBINATION OF SHUNT FILTER AND TCR

Abstract

Power Factor Correction (PFC) provides well-known benefits to electric power systems. These benefits include power factor correction, poor power factor penalty utility bill reductions, voltage support, release of system capacity, and reduced system losses. The performance of fuzzy logic controller only depends on the selection of membership function and Inference of fuzzy rules, fuzzy logic controllers have an advantage in coping with the time varying non-linearity of switches. The Proportional & Integral controllers (PI) controller design requires an accurate mathematical model of the plant
