The rise in power electronic devices in power system has increased the problems of harmonics and power quality. In this paper I have discussed about the harmonics that are developed in power system due to non-linear loads. The damage of harmonics may rise from normal level to high level depending on their duration and the order of harmonic .So to mitigate this harmonics in power system I have introduced shunt active power filter by series compensation method. In this paper it is discussed how harmonics are reduced using shunt active power filter and it is shown through MATLAB/Simulink .The results of the simulation have been shown where the harmonics developed in power supply has reduced.

Owing to the destructive impacts of harmonic currents, the topic of reducing their impacts on power system has attracted tremendous research interests. In this regard, a shunt active power filter (SAPF) is recognized to be the most reliable instrument. It performs by first detecting the harmonic currents that are present in a harmonic-contaminated power system, and subsequently generates and injects corrective mitigation current back into the power system to cancel out all the detected harmonic currents. This means that other than the ability to generate corrective mitigation current itself, it is actually more important to make sure that the SAPF is able to operate in phase with the operating power system, so that the mitigation current can correctly be injected. Hence, proper synchronization technique needs to be integrated when designing the control algorithms of SAPF. This paper critically discusses and analyzes various types of existing phase synchronization techniques which have been applied to manage operation of SAPF; in terms of features, working principle, implementation and performance. The analysis provided can potentially serve as a guideline and provision of information on selecting the most suitable technique for synchronizing SAPF with the connected power system.

Nowadays the number of non linear loads in power systems is increasing dramatically. These non linear loads inject harmonic currents and voltage which makes the supply currents non-sinusoidal. These harmonics are eliminated via an active power filter. The reference currents are generated by shunt active filter which is provided to compensate harmonic currents demanded by the load. Different current control strategies are implemented to improve the performance of shunt active power filter. These techniques are useful in making the supply currents sinusoidal. The performance of the current control techniques are different from each other. The %THD can be reduced with the aid of shunt active power filter. In this paper, different current control schemes are analyzed and their outputs are compared to determine the effectiveness. The most effective current controller generates less %THD. The power quality of the system is improved with the reduction of %THD. The different current controllers which are compared in this paper are GA controller and PI-VPI controller.Under analysis, the PI-VPI controller is found to be effective.

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.
