Reduction of the Harmonics is one of the major needs for Power System & it is demanded that source should provide a balanced & pure sinusoidal three-phase voltage of constant amplitude to the loads. But, due to excessive use of Power Electronics, a complex power quality problem evolved characterized by the voltage and current harmonics. Active power filters have been developed to solve these problems to improve power quality. A novel control scheme compensating for source voltage unbalance and current harmonics in series-type active power filter is proposed. Here, one of the most effective custom power device, Series active power filter is studied and also the control strategy to control these is presented. The proposed control strategy is simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK & the results are presented.
