A major issue in generating electrical power is maintaining the efficiency of the electrical power when supplying to nonlinear loads. The nonlinear loads produce electrical harmonics that result into both system overheat and thus losses in the output power, degrading the efficiency of the system. The purpose of this report is to entail a system that provides usable power to the grid and then inject a few additional harmonics (3rd harmonic) 180° out of phase to attempt to cancel the effects of the harmonics in the output.
