Abstract

In recent years, power electronics devices have evolved, and used for varies applications. Also, this device caused the problem of power quality in electrical system. In the utility side arc furnaces, variable frequency drives (VFD), personal computer, fluorescent lamp such non-linear load produces current harmonics. For consumer and distributed side the power quality is an important issue. The active power filter which is capable for improving the power quality and reactive power compensation. In this paper the harmonics problem which is created by non-linear load is discussed. Shunt active filter is used for eliminating the harmonics from non-linear load and in the retrieval technique for controlling the current hysteresis current controller is used. In this paper for producing the reference current instantaneous reactive power (PQ) theory is used. The simulation result of shunt active filter using PQ theory is carried out using Matlab-Simulink toolbox.
