Abstract


The utilization of the modern power electronics equipment causes fluctuation of loads which is the cause of distortion of normal sinusoidal pattern of the current and voltage waveforms thus leading to disturbances in the system known as harmonics. These disturbances are the main factor of overheating the equipment, reducing the efficiency and thus damaging the system equipment. Here in this paper a Shunt Active Power Filter is designed to eliminate the harmonics in a power system in grid connected mode of operation. The SAPF is integrated with a PI-controller whose parameters are taken randomly. This creates a challenge to improve the filter performance. Here different types of optimization methods are utilized to obtain optimized gains of the PI-controller parameters. There are many conventional methods for the selection of controller parameters as well as filter parameters where the parameters are optimized for the elimination of harmonics. This work intends to eliminate the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) with the help of proposed nm-Predator Prey Fire-Fly Algorithm (nm-PPFO). Also other conventional methods such as Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), Particle swarm Optimization (PSO) and Accelerated PSO have been implemented. Predator Prey based firefly optimization (PPFO) is taken into account for better response. Proposed nm based predator prey algorithm (nm-PPFO) is simulated and compared with above discussed optimization processes.  Apart from THD, the power factor is also calculated and compared for various operating condition. The system is designed using Matlab-Simulink environment and the results found out justify the robustness of the proposed method as compared to other techniques in reducing the harmonics effectively.
