description This article introduces a frequency-adaptive control strategy for a three-phase shunt active power filter, aimed at improving energy efficiency and ensuring high power quality in consumer-oriented power systems. The proposed control system utilizes real-time frequency estimation to dynamically adjust the gain of a proportional-integral–resonant (PIR) controller, facilitating precise harmonic compensation under challenging unbalanced grid conditions, such as unbalanced three-phase loads, grid impedance variations, and diverse nonlinear loads like three-phase rectifiers and induction motors. These scenarios often increase total harmonic distortion (THD) at the point of common coupling (PCC), degrading the performance of connected loads and reducing the efficiency of induction motors. The PIR controller integrates both proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-resonant (PR) control features, achieving improved stability and reduced overshoot. A novel voltage sensorless control method is proposed, requiring only current measurements to determine reference currents for the inverter, thereby simplifying the implementation. Validation of the frequency adaptive control scheme through MATLAB/Simulink simulations and real-time experiments on a dSPACE (DS1202) platform demonstrates significant improvements in harmonic compensation, energy efficiency, and system stability across varying grid frequencies. This approach offers a robust consumer-oriented solution for managing power quality, positioning the SAPF as a key technology for advancing sustainable energy management in smart applications.
