INTRODUCTION/PROBLEM STATEMENT:
• The use of power electronic devices is increased causing harmonics
and low power factor in the power system.
• Non-linear load draw non-sinusoidal current (harmonics) from source
network degrading power quality.
• Shunt Active Power Filter is an ideal device that could manage the
harmonic compensation in an adjustable manner.
Working/Aim of the Project
• Shunt active filter senses the harmonics
generated in the load current due to
non-linearity of the load.
• And then shunt active filter operates
as a current source injecting the harmonic
components generated by the load but
phase shifted by 180° and adding it at
the point of common coupling.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
CURRENT HYSTERESIS

• Hysteresis Current technique will be

used to control inverter, where
the measured current is compared to
reference current on instantaneous
basis providing us the current error.
• The current error is then compared directly against a predefined band
called hysteresis band to produce switching pulses for the inverter.
• A hysteresis band is defined which sets the upper (+h) and lower (-h)
limits for the actual current to deviate from its reference current signal.
 ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT DISADVANTAGES OF PROJECT

Its response is high Whenever our load changes, the filter value also
changes.

Active filter is capable of handling harmonics ranging It can not provide flexible compensation
between fluctuating frequencies

It can be operated at lower order harmonic It causes resonance problems

Power Factor can be improved using S.A.Fs. Not suitable for higher order harmonics

• FACTS Devices
• Smart GRID systems
• HVDC converters
