Abstract

This project was about the simulation of active power filter using Matlab software. The aim of this project is to review an active power filter that commonly used to mitigate harmonics. Harmonics are AC voltage or currents whose frequency is some integral multiple of the fundamental frequency. Harmonics degrade the level of power quality and efficiency in a industrial and commercial facility. Thus, to solve this harmonics problems, there are new class of harmonic mitigation devices injects a mirror image waveform of the harmonic portion of the distorted waveform which is active power filter. Active power filters are relatively new and rather costly but have important advantages that should be watched carefully which are inherently current limiting, have no resonance problems, intelligent and adaptable, can be configured to either correct the full spectrum of harmonics or to target specific harmonics and being able to compensate for harmonics without fundamental frequency reactive power concerns. The system is verified by simulation using Matlab/Simulink simulation package. The paper starts with a brief overview of harmonic distortion problems and their impacts on electric power quality, how the active power filter solved this problems and the verifying using Matlab software. As the result the harmonics problems can be solved using active power filter.
