Abstract: The microgrid technologies have many outstanding advantages. However, the inherent characteristics of distributed generators (DGs), the special network topology and the operation performances of microgrids bring unfavorable impacts on microgrid power quality. The structure and performances of microgrids were discussed. Based on the discussion, the microgrid power quality was analyzed and compared with traditional distribution grids. By replacing lowpass filter with mathematical morphological filter in detection unit, shunt active power filter (SAPF) model was improved. The selection of filter structure elements was also well analyzed. Simulation study was done with Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results prove that the improved SAPF model can meet the real-time requirements of microgrids for power quality regulating devices.

Key words: microgrid, power quality, mathematical morphological filter, shunt active power filter, control measure
