The excessive of power electronics devices in
distribution system has evolved the problem of power quality.
Arc Furnaces, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), Computer
power supplies play major role in the deterioration in the quality
power by injecting harmonics in the utility supply source. This
paper represents the effective solution of shunt active power filter
for eliminating the harmonics to maintain the quality of utility
power supply. In the proposed scheme shunt active filter acts as a
current source and eliminates harmonics by injecting equal but
opposite harmonics components at the point of common coupling.
Simulation of shunt active filter based on instantaneous reactive
power theory is carried out using MATLAB-Simulink Toolbox.
To prove the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme
two types of loads have been considered and simulation results
are observed.
