The document discusses selective harmonic current mitigation using a shunt active power filter (SAPF). It describes various harmonic detection methods and the operating principle of active power filters. The proposed selective harmonic current compensation method uses an SAPF to extract the fundamental component of current for the nonlinear and unbalanced loads, and selectively compensate the fifth harmonic. Simulation results show the total harmonic distortion is reduced from 16.25% to 3.39% using this selective harmonic current mitigation approach.
