MATLAB simulation of single phase shunt active power filter and development of experimental set up

摘要

This project work presents a single phase shunt active power filter based on synchronous detection method. Due to wide use of nonlinear single phase power electronic devices in low voltage side has increased harmonic pollution in the power system to the larger extent. Improving power quality has become the biggest challenge for electrical engineers. A single phase shunt active power filter was modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK using hysteresis current controller and triangular current controller. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate performance of single phase shunt active power filter during presence of nonlinear load. An experimental setup is established to validate the simulation result.
