Harmonics Mitigation in Industrial Sector by using Space Vector PWM and Shunt Active Power Filter

Due to a large number of non-linear loads and power electronics devices in the power system, power quality problem like harmonics is faced by the industrial loads. Harmonics are produced excessive heat and reduce the life of appliances. This paper presents the 3-Φ space vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM) and shunt active power filter (SAPF) techniques for non-linear loads to mitigate harmonics. For compensating harmonic and reactive currents, which are drawn by non-linear loads, shunt active power filters are utilized. By this, the supply current will be sinusoidal, and harmonics will be eliminated. The harmonic mitigation is performed on the Tawor Ceramic share Company, Hawassa, Ethiopia by using MATLAB/Simulink to bring the total harmonic distortion (THD) within the IEEE standard.
