Abstract

One of the most important aspects of both power transmission and distribution level is power quality which can be defined as the delivery of sufficiently high-grade electrical services to the consumer. Harmonic is one of the interference which caused poor power quality. Harmonic disturbance causes electric equipment to heat up and cannot function properly. Thereby, the aim of this project is to design and develop a three phase shunt active filter based on P-Q theory in order to mitigate current harmonics for low voltage distribution system. The MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used for circuit design and its parameters of a three phase shunt active power filter. Based on P-Q theory, the performance of shunt active power filter for harmonic compensation will be analysed. There are four steps involved in developing a harmonic reduction to ensure the objectives of the project are achieved. Firstly, the information related to the project are identified and searched. Second, determine the appropriate circuit design to create a three phase shunt active power filter. The third stage is a simulation of a circuit design using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Lastly, the final stage is involves final results and analyse the outcome of experiment results. Simulations results of a three phase shunt active power filter effectively designed based on P-Q theory shows that harmonics distortion are mitigated.
