The power quality of modern power distribution system is vulgarized due to the increased use of distributed sources,adjustable speed drive, nonlinear load and unbalanced load. The main challenge in the distribution system is the mitigation of power quality problems produced by load disturbances and supply disturbances [1], [2]. It can be mitigated by passive filters as well as active filters. The passive filters are economically cheap but their performance is poor compared to the active power filters [2]. Hence active power filters are preferred in the modern power systemINTENDED AUDIENCE : Final year B.Tech, M.Tech of Power Electronics and power system,Power electronics Engineer / Expert from industry PREREQUISITES : Power Electronics INDUSTRY SUPPORT : ABB, GE, Statcon Energeia, CESC, NTPC, NHPC all state electric supply board, AAI
