description Current harmonics is one of the main power quality problems which can be mitigated by using shunt active power filter (SAPF). Integrating SAPF with photovoltaic (PV), also known as PV SAPF, is among the best option as it provides alternative energy source to operate the SAPF rather than depending on energy from the grid supply and at the same time maintaining Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) below 5%.
