Abstract: In this paper, the reduction of harmonic component in voltage sourced circuits using IGBT’s and diode’s using PWM technique and improve the power quality is presented. Simulations are performed in the Matlab-Simulink environment & the simulation results are obtained. The results shows the efficacy of the method developed for harmonic suppression in the power electronics based systems.
