The power quality issues are of great concern now a days. The increasing use of power electronic devices based nonlinear loads deteriorate the quality of power. Power electronic appliances are widely used in industrial, commercial and utility system thus leading to various power quality problems. This leads to harmonics being injected into the distribution system and also reactive power burden....

The active power filter has been proved to be an effective method to mitigate harmonic currents generated by nonlinear loads as well as to compensate reactive power. The methods of harmonic current detection play a crucial part in the performance of active power filter (APF). This paper presents a new control strategy in which two shunt active power filter configurations are developed in order ...
