Abstract: This paper presents the analysis and evaluates different control strategies of shunt active power filters which are used to reduce harmonic distortion created by an industrial paper factory. The model of the whole system has been carried out by Matlab/Simulink. In order to investigate the accuracy of the simulated model, harmonic analysis of simulation results has been compared with measurements from the electrical networks of a Paper Industrial Factory using harmonic analyzer. The consistency of simulation and measured results proves the accuracy of the system modeling. It also proves the validity of using Shunt Active Power Filters to reduce the harmonic distortion in the factory network. Four different control techniques, namely Unit Vector Template Generation, Instantaneous Active and Reactive theory, Synchronous Reference Frame theory and a proposed control strategy that combines the Synchronous Reference Frame and the Unit Vector Template Generation theories, have been studied. Results of each technique were satisfactory and meet the IEEE-519 Standard, However, when the source voltage is distorted the compensation capability for some control strategies is not equal.
