The increasing use of power electronic system has led voltage harmonic distortion level to an unacceptable level at point of common coupling (PCC). Most of the modern solutions of eliminating load current harmonics by using active filter is based on sinusoidal source voltage. However, the voltage at PCC is not purely sinusoisdal. This paper proposes a shunt active filter (SAF) based on instantaneous active and reactive power theory which can mitigate the load harmonics properly even if the source voltage is distorted. Space vector PWM based voltage source inverter is used in current control mode to filter out current harmonics. PI controllers are used for the current controller to get desired dynamic response. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation. Real life conditions are considered in the simulation and the simulation results are presented.

Today, power electronic-based loads, which draw harmonically distorted currents, are widely used in the industrial distribution systems. Thus, line currents and bus voltages have high harmonic distortion levels. It is known in the literature that harmonics cause adverse effects such as loss increase in power system equipment, decrease of power factor, torque pulsations in rotating electric machines, malfunction of measurement and protection devices. Accordingly, to reduce these adverse effects, harmonic mitigation devices as passive and active filters are widely employed by consumers and utilities. For designing passive filters, it is conventionally aimed to achieve different goals as minimization of current and / or voltage total harmonic distortion, power factor maximization and minimization of filter cost and losses while keeping individual / total harmonic distortion levels and power factor in the recommended intervals defined by international standards. On the other hand, recent studies in the literature have designed optimal passive filters to maximize transformer's loading capacity under harmonic distortion conditions while considering conventional optimal passive filter design constraints. In this study, firstly, for the solution of the optimal C-type passive filter design problem, which aims to maximize the loading capacity of the transformer in a typical industrial power system with harmonic distortion, the big bang big crunch, ant lion optimization and dragonfly optimization algorithms was comparatively evaluated in terms of their results and speed. And then, the performance of the designed optimal passive filter was analysed for the cases where the total harmonic distortion of the source, line impedance's magnitude, and line impedance's X/R ratio change.

“…Non-linear loads are commonly present in industrial facilities, service facilities, office buildings, and even in our homes. They are the source of several Power Quality problems such as harmonics, reactive power, flicker and resonance [4][5]. Therefore, it can be observed an increasing deterioration of the electrical power grid voltage and current waveforms, mainly due to the contamination of the system currents with harmonics of various orders, including inter-harmonics [6].…”

Power quality issues are the most concerned area for electrical engineers in these modern days due to indusrtrialization and advancements in electronics. Harmonics are one of the power quality issues that deteriorated the quality of source components delivered to load. Active power filters (APF) are the compensating devices used to mitigate harmonics. Distributed generation (DG) became a trendline due to economical, technical and environmental reasons. This paper presents the harmonic compensation using dual APF sharing compensating signals while active power is fed from distributed generation to grid. DG inverter acts as an interface between DG system and grid to feed active power from DG to grid. In this context, the DG inverter acts both as inverter and APF, used as inverter to invert supply from DG and feeds grid for specified time and also as APF for harmonic compensation there after along with dual APF. The proposed system is developed and results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Results are shown for DG inverter feeding active power to grid and also acting as APF. Dual APF characteristics are also shown.
