Abstract: Frequent wide spread of power electronics equipment to consumers have led to power quality problem in power system network, as a result to their nonlinear in nature. Due to this problem, current and voltage wave forms are no longer sinusoidal, which resulted in harmonics on them. Various methods have been deployed in order to mitigate the harmonic issues, like passive power filters and shunt active power filters. Presently, passive power filters are limited in used, because of its demerits as it produced parallel resonances, heavy in size and mitigate few harmonics. With the advancement in technology, shunt active power filters have become superior to passive power filters due to its limitations. Shunt active power filters was tested for suppressing harmonics produced by nonlinear loads. This article, used synchronous reference frame (SRF) in generating harmonic produced by nonlinear loads. However, T2FLC is utilized in controlling the DC bus voltage of the filter constant. Hysteresis current controller was introduced for firing the gating signal of the IGBT inverter circuit. MATLAB software was deployed in the simulation work. Results obtained have satisfied the tolerable 2014 revised harmonics limit.
