In this paper, photovoltaic (PV) system interfaced single-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF) is proposed to supply uninterrupted and clean power to small-scale industries and domestic customers. The second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) is employed to extract the reference current of PV-SAPF. The proposed topology does not need voltage measurement and sensors on both the AC and DC side, just two current sensors are accustomed to measure converter and load currents. To be able to acquire an accurate reference source current, the distorted load is only processed through the SOGI control algorithm which does not need voltage-related information. The PV interfaced SAPF mainly is used for sustainable compensation of current disturbances and voltage interruption of the single-phase distribution system. The proposed topology utilizes the PV energy with an energy storage unit to meet the active power requirement of the utility grid. Besides, it exports the power generated in the PV system to the load during unavailability of grid supply. The PV-SAPF system subject to different types of loads can assess the performance of the system under steady-state and dynamic conditions. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller for PV interfaced SAPF, the simulation and experimental results are presented.
