“…However, these passive filters based on resonant principle have many disadvantages, such as their inability to compensate random harmonic variation, large size, tuning problems and parallel resonance [9,10]. To overcome these problems, shunt connected custom power devices called shunt active power filter (SAPF), have been reported and considered as a possible solution for reducing current harmonics and improving the power factor [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The SAPF operates by injecting the reactive and harmonic components of load current into the utility system with the same magnitudes but with opposite phases.…”
