Patel 2 Lecturer, Electrcal Department, Government Polytechnc, alsad, Gujarat, Inda 1 Lecturer, Electrcal Department, Government Polytechnc, Dahod, Gujarat, Inda 2 Abstract: Harmonc njecton n supply current s most common problem arsng n supply network because of the ncreased populaton of nonlnear loads. Ths paper present a comparatve study between two dfferent control strateges to determne the compensatng currents for a three phase three wre Shunt Actve Power Flter(SAPF). The frst strategy s based on the nstantaneous real and magnary powers theory known as p-q theory, the second s Generalzed Instanteneous Power Theory(GIPT). The two control strateges are appled to a three-wre shunt actve power flter for elmnatng load current harmoncs, reactve power compensaton and load balancng. The valdty of the proposed control scheme s verfed by the smulaton study. Index Terms: Actve Power, Harmonc Elmnaton, Non-lnear load, Load Balancng. I. INTRODUCTION The ncreased severty of harmonc polluton n power networks wth the development of power semconductors and power-electroncs applcaton technques has attracted the attenton to develop dynamc and adjustable solutons to the power qualty problems. Control of these harmonc perturbatons by passve flters can generate addtonal resonance, whch could result n destructon of these flters. Ths has lead to development of actve flters. Shunt actve flters have been recognzed as a good soluton to current harmonc and reactve power compensaton of non-lnear loads [1]. Fg.1 shows a typcal system confguraton of a three-phase three-wre; shunt APF wth a voltage source nverter. The basc prncple of a shunt actve power flter s that t generates a current equal and opposte n polarty to the harmonc current drawn by the load and njects t to the pont of common couplng, thereby forcng the to be pure snusodal. Instantaneous power compensaton theory s recognzed as one of the best methods. Instantaneous real and magnary powers have frst been defned n the tme doman by p q theory, and ther concept has been successfully appled to harmonc/reactve current control n three-phase three-wre systems [2-3]. In p q theory, voltages and currents n a three-phase three wre system are transformed nto twophase current/voltage components on orthogonal α β coordnates, and then the nstantaneous real and magnary powers can be calculated wthout any tme delay from the two-phase components. A generalzed theory of nstantaneous reactve power has been proposed for three-phase power systems. The generalzed theory s vald for snusodal or non snusodal and balanced or unbalanced three-phase systems, wth or wthout zero-sequence currents and/or voltages [4].In ths paper generalzed defnton of nstantaneous actve, reactve and apparent power n three-phase system s presented. By drectly takng the nstantaneous voltage and current as two vectors, the nstantaneous reactve quantty s consdered as the second order asymmetrcal tensor resultng from the outer-product operaton of voltage and current vectors. Ths defnton s further extended for Actve Power Lne Condtoners (APLCs) applcatons by decomposng current nto separate component representng dfferent parts of the power.

P-Q THEORY The nstantaneous p-q method s one of the frst compensaton schemes developed by Akag [1].Accordng to ths theory actve flter currents are obtaned from the nstantaneous actve and reactve powers of the nonlnear load.
