Power system harmonics are a menace to electric power system with disastrous consequence. Due to the presence of non linear load, power quality of the system gets affected.  To overcome this, shunt active power filter have been used near harmonic producing loads or at the point of common coupling to block current harmonics. The shunt active power filter is designed to minimize harmonics in source current and reactive power in the non linear power supplies which are creating harmonics. In this paper, Instantaneous power of p-q theory is employed to generate the reference currents and PI controller is used to control the dc link voltage. In addition to this, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique is used to minimize the harmonics produced by nonlinear load. The main objective of this paper is to analyze and compare THD of the source current with PI controller and by artificial neural network based back propagation algorithm. The proposed system is designed with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

The design of reliable power filters that mitigate current and voltage harmonics to meet the power quality requirements of the utility grid is a major requirement of present-day power systems. In this paper, a detailed systematic approach to design a shunt active power filter (SAPF) for power quality enhancement is discussed. A proportional–integral (PI) controller is adopted to regulate the DC-link voltage. The instantaneous reactive power theory is employed for the reference current’s extraction. Hysteresis current control is used to obtain the gate pulses that control the voltage source inverter (VSI) switches. The detailed SAPF is developed and simulated for balanced nonlinear loads and unbalanced nonlinear loads using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results indicate that the proposed filter can minimize the harmonic distortion to a level below that deployed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards.
