Two control approaches based on p-q theory and load current detection using phase locked loop (PLL) are proposed. To validate the compensation performance of SAPF the distribution network with nonlinear loads is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. Simulation results have proved and validated the performance of SAPF minimizing the total harmonics distortion (THD) and neutral current. {\^A}{\copyright}2010 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79951791634&doi=10.1109\%2fPECON.2010.5697574&partnerID=40&md5=2dc800c66857411c6985765abc849ce8} }
