Harmonic distortion is a significant challenge in power systems that degrades energy quality and shortens the lifespan of equipment. Therefore, effectively managing and minimizing these distortions is crucial for the reliability and efficiency of modern power grids. This paper has been presented a shunt active power filter (SAPF) designed for a three-phase power system to address issues such as harmonic distortion and reactive power caused by nonlinear loads. A design incorporating synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory and hysteresis control methods to provide effective compensation and to supply pure and balanced current to the grid have been proposed in this study. Furthermore, a metaheuristic-based PI control has been used to regulate the DC bus voltage, which contributes to reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) and improving energy efficiency. A comparison of different metaheuristic algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization and gray wolf algorithm, have been conducted to assess their efficacy in stabilization of DC bus voltage of SAPF. The results demonstrated that the proposed system effectively addresses the challenges posed by nonlinear loads, with particle swarm optimization exhibiting the most favourable performance for voltage regulation. This work contributes to the advancement of power quality, system stability, and the demonstration of the benefits of metaheuristic-based PI control in an active power filter.
