Power quality issues such as harmonic distortion, reactive power demand, and voltage imbalances are increasingly prevalent in modern power systems due to the proliferation of nonlinear loads and renewable energy sources. Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPFs) are effective devices for mitigating these issues and improving power quality. This paper proposes an optimal design of a SAPF for power quality improvement. A novel control approach using a Tilt-Integral-Derivative Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (TID-FOPID) controller optimized with the Lemur Optimizer (LMO) algorithm. The LMO, inspired by the social behaviour of lemurs, offers a robust and efficient optimization approach. The proposed algorithm is used to determine the optimal parameters of the SAPF controller, including the proportional-integral (PI) gains and the DC-link voltage, to minimize total harmonic distortion (THD) and improve power factor. Simulations performed in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LMO-based SAPF in mitigating harmonic distortion, compensating reactive power, and improving overall power quality compared to traditional approaches.
