Harmonic Elimination And Power Factor Correction Using Space Vector Modulation

Abstract

This paper analysis the harmonics elimination and improve the power quality by using space vector modulation. The voltage   and current harmonics are produced by nonlinear loads that increase the power losses and a negative effect on electric utility supply systems and apparatus. This paper presents the application of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation for shunt active power filters .The most important part of  the active power filters is generating of gate signal for inverters to improve the power factor and to reduce current and voltage distortion to standard limits. The simulation results through Matlab shows that the output of the effective current compensation.
