System eonsists of two SHAFs eonneeted in shunt at
PCC, one is SHAF1 (reduees 5th and 7th eurrent
harmonies) and seeond is SHAF2 (reduees all hannonies
exeept 5th and 7th). SHAF1and SHAF2 eonsists of a
passive filter eonneeted in series with PWM inverter
through a eoupling transformer to aet as positive
induetanee insertion deviee.
SHAF1 works by tuning the passive filter for 5th
harmonie frequeney. The Passive filter is tuned at 7th
harmonie frequeney and then additional induetanee to tune
the filter for 5th frequeney is aetively introdueed through
VSI based STATCOM operating at 5th harmonie
frequeney. The induetanee required at 5th harmonie (L5) is
more than that required at 7th harmonie (L7) so the
differenee (Lind5= L5 - L7) is always positive for all
parametrie (± 10%) and frequeney (± 2%) variations.
Thus, only positive induetanee is required to be inserted
by APF to tune the passive filter for 5th harmonie [10],
[13], [14]. In SHAF2, passive filter eomponents value is
set as given in table. I sueh that only positive induetanee is
inserted by PWM inverter to tune the filter up to 29th
eurrent harmonies as after 29th harmonie frequeney THD
eontent of individual hannonie is less than 2%.

The operation of this filter for aetive filtering ean be

harmonie frequeney. In this, passive filter is tuned to
provide low impedanee path to 7th harmonie frequeney
and an aetive power filter is eonneeted in series to injeet
required induetanee to tune passive filter for 5th harmonie
frequeney. Fig.2 shows single phase equivalent eireuit

V. HARMONICS REDUCTION UNDER HARMONICALLY
BALANCED CONDITION
Under this eondition, a non-linear load of 3-cfJ diode
reetifier is eonneeted to supply. It eauses the amplitude
speetrum of all harmonies to be same in all 3-phases.
Control strategy and simulation results are explained in
this seetion.
A. Contral Strategy of SHAFI
Control strategy basieally refers to the teehnique of
generating referenee signal eorresponding to whieh gate
pulses for inverter gate drive eireuit is obtained. MSRF
method is used to obtain referenee signal in SHAFl. It
generates sin OJt and eos OJt for 3-cfJ diode bridge reetifier
type of non-linear load. This is aehieved by transforming
phase souree voltages Va, Vb, Vc into stationary referenee
frameaß whieh operate at SOHz frequeney. The matrix

Passive filter is tuned to 7th harmonie frequeney with
C7 = 42.Sf.!F and L7 = 4.86S4mH and is tuned aetively for
Sth harmonie frequeney. This requires referenee signal
eorresponding to Sth harmonie frequeney by MSRF
method. Sinee, Sth harmonie is a negative sequenee eurrent
so we need to generate sin (-Swt) and eos(-Swt) from (16)
and (17).

abc load currents (50Hz) are transformed to
synchronously rotating frame (250Hz) as shown in
Fig.6(c). Then, the DC value corresponding to 5th
harmonie frequency is obtained by FFT block present in
MATLAB SIMULINK Library. This DC value is
compared with zero (desired value) to generate error and
is send to PI controller to minimize error through
feedback. The output of PI controller is interchanged and
inverse transformed using (25) and (15) to generate abc
reference voItages of 3-phase inverter.

C. Simulation Results 2) Result of SHAF2
To implement and validate the processing of above
mentioned technique, MATLAB/SlMULINK model has
been developed. For simulation studies, sampIe time taken
is Sf.!sec and solver used is ode23tb (stiftlTR-BDF2). Fig.l
and table. I show the SIMULINK model specification.
Non-linear load used here is 3- ifJ uncontrolled bridge
rectifier to which an R-L load is connected on its DC side
with R= 400hms, L= ImH drawing a non-linear load
current of peak value ISA on AC side. IGBT based VSI is
used as APF for introducing active inductance at specific
harmonie frequency. Sinusoidal PWM technique is used to
generate gating signal with triangular carrier wave
J) Results of SHAFJ
SHAFI is connected in shunt at PCC along with
SHAF2. Passive filter is tuned at 7th harmonie frequency
and the value of Lind5 required to tune the passive filter for
Sth harmonie frequency is given by equation (1).
Corresponding voltage need to be inserted by APF is
obtained by equation (2). This voltage is generated by
proper gating pulses given to the APF by SPWM in which
reference wave signal is obtained for Sth harmonie
frequency as explained in previous section and carrier
wave is triangular in nature. Fig.9(a) represents L-L
voltage injected by SHAF and Fig.9(b) shows its RMS
value equals to 46V and Vdc � 8SV. Thus, modulation
index (m) is 0.S4. Fig.lO shows filter performance in
terms of its spectrum.

SHAF2 is configured to reduce higher order
harmonics (h 2:: 11) and is connected at PCc. The voltage
required to be generated is obtained by (9) taking Lindh as
given by (8) and Vdc = SOV. Fig.ll shows L-L voltage
injected by SHAF2. Different voltages are required to be
inserted for different values of Lindh at different higher
order (hth) frequency. The voltage is injected by proper
gating signal obtained by sinusoidal PWM in which
reference wave corresponds to reference signal obtained as
shown in fig.8(c). Fig.12 shows filter performance in

VI. CONCLUSION
This paper proposes methods of elimination of
dominant & higher order current harmonics produced by
uncontrolled diode rectifier using cost effective
combination of SHAFI and SHAF2. ResuIts obtained
shows that THD of individual harmonie currents are less
than 3 percent with total THD of source current equal to
4.28 percent which comply with the IEEE 519 standard
for current harmonics. The proposed system is highly
economical owing to less KVA rating of the inverter &
PLL free harmonie detection. The feasibility of this
method for harmonically unbalanced condition (multiple
non linear loads of different types connected to the PCC)
is under study which represents more realistic scenario in
power system.
