Abstract

In this paper, Performance of Shunt active power filter (SAPF) is analyzed for various types of nonlinear loads. Among the
various control schemes available for SAPF, indirect current control scheme is used here. PI controller and fuzzy logic controller
are used to analyze its performance for various types of nonlinear loads (R, DC motor, Induction motor).The output parameters
are Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and power factor. The results are obtained with the conventional PI controller. The
proposed method offer an efficient control method under the various load conditions results in power factor improvement and
THD reduction. Simulation of the proposed controller(PI controller) of a shunt active power filter has been carried out in
MATLAB/SIMULINK and the aim is to reduce the THD and improve the power factor.
