The rise in power electronic devices in power system has increased the problems of harmonics and power quality. In this paper I have discussed about the harmonics that are developed in power system due to non-linear loads. The damage of harmonics may rise from normal level to high level depending on their duration and the order of harmonic .So to mitigate this harmonics in power system I have introduced shunt active power filter by series compensation method. In this paper it is discussed how harmonics are reduced using shunt active power filter and it is shown through MATLAB/Simulink .The results of the simulation have been shown where the harmonics developed in power supply has reduced.
