Unified Power Quality Conditioner

A shunt active filter is a voltage-source converter connected parallel to an AC line that acts as a current source. It cancels current distortions from nonlinear loads, compensates for reactive current, and improves the power factor. When nonlinearities occur in a load, the shunt active filter injects the required compensating current into each phase to rectify the nonlinearity. Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages or currents with frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, usually causing distortion. A shunt active filter analyzes the harmonics and compensates by injecting the appropriate current.

SHUNT ACTIVE FILTER

It is a voltage-source converter connected in

shunt with the same ac line and acts as a


current source to cancel current distortions,
compensate reactive current of the load, and
improve the power factor.
There will be harmonics in current due to non

linear loads.Inorder to rectify such


nonlinearities a shunt active filter is
employed.
If such a nonlinearity occur the shunt active

filter compensate for it by injecting required


amount of current in each phase externally by

Shunt active filter
Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages or currents

having frequencies that are integer multiples


of fundamental frequency which is usually
50Hz. The harmonic distortion originates in
the nonlinear characteristics of devices and
also on loads connected to the power system.
