Harmonic Mitigation using Fuzzy Logic Controller based Shunt Active Power Filter

ABSTRACT
Power quality problem is t he most sensitive problem in the power system. The objective of the project is to reduce one of the power quality issue called “harmonics” using compensation technique. Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) is used to eliminate harmonic current and also it compensates reactive power. In this project, both PI controller and Fuzzy Logic Controller based three-phase shunt active filter is employed for a three-phase four wire systems. The advantage of fuzzy control is that it provides linguistic values such as low, medium, high that are useful in case where the probability of the event to occur is needed. It does not require an accurate mathematical model of the system. A MATLAB/SIMULINK has been used to perform the simulation. Simulink model is developed for three phase four wire system under balanced source condition and three phase four wire system for unbalanced source condition. The performance of both balanced source and unbalanced source is done using Fuzzy Logic Controller and PI controller and their Simulink results is compared. Simulation results obtained shows that the performance of fuzzy controller is found to be better than PI controller.

CONCLUSION
The comparative analysis of a three phase four wire system using SAPF for reducingTHD of source current is done.The analysis uses the control of compensating current using PI controller and FLC is done for both balanced and unbalanced source condition. The harmonic spectrum shows the THD of both balanced and unbalanced source condition using PI and FLC. It is found that the harmonic reduction using FLC is found to produce better result than PI controller.
