The MATLAB simulation of a Single Phase Shunt Active Filter involves creating a detailed model that replicates the operation of the filter in a single-phase power system. The shunt active filter is designed to mitigate harmonic distortion and improve the power quality by injecting compensating currents into the grid.
In the simulation, engineers model the components of the shunt active filter, such as the power electronic devices (like inverters), control algorithms, and the filter circuitry. They simulate various operating conditions and load scenarios to assess the effectiveness of the filter in reducing harmonic distortion and maintaining voltage stability.
By analyzing the simulation results, engineers can optimize the control strategies, filter parameters, and system configurations to ensure reliable operation and compliance with power quality standards. This approach facilitates the design and deployment of shunt active filters in real-world power distribution systems to mitigate harmonic distortion and improve overall system performance.
