Abstract
The main objective of present work is design 100kw solar roof top system, reducing the total harmonic alteration and to improve
the power quality in grid connected (residential) roof top solar PV power systems by using ANFIS controller technique.
However harmonic currents are generated by a large number of grid connected PV generators connected to distribution network
through PV inverters. This may reduction the excellence of electrical network. In order to sense these difficulties we have to use
the ANFIS controller method, by this to reduce the harmonic modification problems and to develop the power quality in solar
PV systems. And at finally the total system should be designed in MATLAB SIMULINK.

INTRODUCTION

Since it was not sun as a rising problem, the misuse of electronic devices led to a rapid development of todays homes is the
common for utility companies due to harmonic substitutes[2]. The act of finishing the harmonic problem could be extra in the
harmonic quality presented by other system components such as power factor connection (PFC) capacitors[1]. The loss of power
quality and harmonic current flow is also being concern for the cable lines. Giving back the harmonics in existed in systems is
different because of the dispersed nature of the occupied Loads. Therefore group of recompense at a few locations is not every
effective and as a result, finding an effective way is to recompense the quiet load harmonics and to improve the unavailable
system power quality is an vital topic[4-6].
In addition those have to expand the power quality, why because the radical changes in multifaceted systems[2]. That have a
major influences on the conduct of the entire power industry more over renewable energy based distributed generation (DG)
system are being connected to power distribution network[7].
The practicality of harmonics in electrical systems means that current and voltage are (depart/deviate) and imprecise form
sinusoidal waveforms. The term harmonics can also be well-defined as the ratio of frequency of such a signal or wave to the
frequency of reference signal or wave. It is the extension in the waveform of the supply voltage form the ideal sinusoidal
waveform[5]. The main impact of the harmonic adjustment is the communication of distorting client loads with the impedance of
the supply networks. Its risky adverse effects are heating of induction motors, transformers and capacitors and the overloading of
neutrals[3]. Power factor connection capacitors can develop harmonics to improper values in the presence of harmonic alteration.
The effects of harmonics in power system problems are rays best it is possible for a number of offensive (undesirable) effects
to be occur. Unresolved of harmonics distribution can cause such effects as misoperation of electronic tools incorrect readings on
meters, misoperation of protective relays, interference with telephone circuits, increasing transformer, capacitor etc. the tendency
of such ill effects appearing is greatly increased if a recant condition takes place[4]. Renounce will occurs when a harmonic
frequency formed by a discrete (non-linear) load closely resemble with a process system natural frequency[1]. Photovoltaic (PV)
systems use inverters to get connected to circulation networks that utilize changes voltage. Even so, harmonic currents are
produced by PV systems may demote the feature of the electrical network and alter the completion of other electrical
apparatuses. Now a day, the need of grid related photovoltaic (PV) systems has evolved into prevalent in many of the world[7-9].
A large number of grid related PV generations connected to allocation (distribution) network through PV inverters are
probably able to cause harmonic problems. In general[8], a harmonic problem can be defined as a specific disorder, which is
created by the occupancy of discrete elementals (components) in his electrical system that concludes a permanent modification
of the voltage and current sinusoidal wave shapes in terms of sinusoidal components at a frequency different from the
fundamental[5-8].

III. HARMONIC COMPENSATION BY USING ANFIS CONTROLLER

ANFIS (Adoptive Neuro Fuzzy Interface System)
Adoptive Neuro fuzzy interface system the presence of Neuro Fuzzy system is able to find the neural networks algorithms[11].
These are used to normalize the parameters of fuzzy system. ANFIS is functionally equivalent to fuzzy interface system and it
should be feed forward and piecewise compulsion so very successful. Fuzzy integrated sys has more practical applications it
lacks behind and predictable mathematical tools are quantitating in nature. It serves as a basic for constructing and a set of fuzzy
if then rules with appropriate membership functions to generate the stipulated input output pairs.
