Due to intensive use of power converters and other non-linear loads, power quality is degrading. The presence of harmonics in the power lines result in greater power losses in distribution, interference problems in communication systems. Non linearity reduces the efficiency and power factor of the system. As the power factor reduces, the reactive power demanded from the supply increases which have no any contribution in energy transfer, so compensation is required. For this, shunt passive filter has been developed but it is bulky and frequency dependent and has many drawbacks. In contrast to passive filter, shunt active filter (SAF) has been developed which is smaller and has wide range of applications. In this paper, shunt active filter based on p-q theory is demonstrated for compensating reactive power and current harmonics. Simulation has been done with and without SAF and results are presented and ended with recommendation and conclusion. An effort is made to reduce the THD of the source current below 5% (specified by IEEE).

Abstract In this research paper, the shunt active filter (SHAF) is used to improve the power quality of electrical network by mitigating the harmonics with the help of different control strategies (p-q control strategy, Id-Iq control strategy, PHC control strategy) for three phase three wire system. It is quite difficult to optimize the performance of power system networks using conventional methods, because of complex nature of the systems that are highly non-linear and non-stationary. Three phase reference current waveforms generated by the proposed schemes are tracked by three phase voltage source converter in a hysteresis band control scheme. The performance of proposed control strategies has been evaluated in terms of harmonic mitigation and DC link voltage regulation under various source voltage conditions. The proposed SHAF with different control strategies is able to eliminate uncertainty in the system and SHAF gains outstanding compensation abilities. The detailed simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink software are presented to support the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.
