This paper deals with mitigation of harmonics using shunt active power filter. Due to use of nonlinear load harmonics generated in the power system. To solve this problem various reference current generation techniques have been used. In this paper Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) and Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory (IRP) Theory are discussed. This harmonics are introduced because of nonlinear load in system that causes severe damage to our system. This harmonics are mitigate using above two techniques. The performance and result is simulated on MATLAB/ Simulink platform.

Keywords: SRF, IRP, SAPF, Non Linear Load, Power Quality, PCC, THD, TDD.
