Now a days, the usage of non-linear loads are increased rapidly which increased the power quality (PQ) problems in electric power system like voltage sag and swell, harmonics, etc., in the mentioned problems, one of the major significant PQ problem is the harmonics. This paper proposes the power quality improvement by using Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) in AC Electric supply System feeding 3-phase balanced non-linear load. For reduction of harmonics in the system, the Instantaneous Symmetrical Component Theory (ISCT) based controller along with the other controllers named PI controller and Hysteresis current controller are which helps in the micro-grid system. In this, hysteresis current control compares the difference of compensating current, load current with filter current of DSTATCOM. In the proposed method, DSTATCOM has shown good performance in the system to eliminate harmonic component. The system performance is simulated in the MATLAB environment and it is evaluated by calculating the source current Total Harmonic Distortion(THD).
