GENETIC ALGORITHM TUNED PID
CONTROLLER BASED SHUNT ACTIVE FILTER
FOR HARMONIC REDUCTION
ABSTRACT
This paper presents the reduction of harmonics and power factor improvement using Shunt Active Filter (SAF) controlled by
synchronous reference frame theory and Proportional I ntegral Derivative (PI D) controller tuned by Genetic Algorithm
(GA). The Synchronous Reference Frame Theory(SRFT) is used to generate the reference compensating current, PID
controller to control the DC voltage across the capacitor and Hysteresis Current Controller(HCC) for generating gating
signals for VSI based shunt active filter. The PI D controller values are optimized by using Genetic Algorithm. The Genetic
algorithm is designed for 100 generations for the better value of PI D. By the optimized values of PI D controller the DC bus
voltage across SAF is maintained constant and hence the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is reduced below the value
specified by I EEE. The results are validated by simulating the test system with and without Shunt active filter (SAF) with
synchronous frame theory and proposed PI D controller tuned by Genetic algorithm using MATLAB/SI MULI NK.
