Harmonic Compensation Using Shunt Active Power Filter In Power System Using Matlab

This paper shows the method of improving the power quality using voltage source inverter based shunt active power filter. The procedure uses a simple method named synchronous reference current generation for reference current extraction .The proposed topic comprises of PI controller, high pass filter, phase locked loop, dc link capacitor. The switching signal generation for filter is from hysteresis current controller techniques. With the all these element shunt active power filter reduce the total harmonic distortion. This paper represents the simulation and analysis of the using three phase three wire system active filter to compensate harmonics.The proposed shunt active filter model uses balanced non-linear load. This paper successfully lowers the THD within IEEE norms and satisfactorily work to compensate harmonics. The model is made in matlab/simulink and successfully reduces the harmonic in the source current.
