In this study, firstly, a general-purpose test simulator circuit was developed that could test the response of the circuits used in power electronic systems on hardware under various operating conditions (hardware in the loop). In the next step, a control board to be used for Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) was designed. The control software for SAPF was prepared using CubeMX IDE compiler for two different harmonic extraction methods using instantaneous reactive power theory (IRPT) and synchronous rotating reference frame (SRF) methods. Finally, before connecting the prototype SAPF control board and software to the real system, it had been verified to work safely using the designed test system. With this study, both the SAPF prototype circuit was prepared and a cost-effective system that could be found in the market was designed.
