description An excess non-linear and unbalanced load application increases the power quality (PQ) problem by injecting harmonic current. The avoidance of neutral current control creates additional PQ problems due to excess circulating current in modern <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>4W</i> applications. Therefore, this manuscript suggests improved <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo> </mo><mi>α</mi><mi>β</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> transform-based voltage and current control approaches for both <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>3W</i> and <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>4W</i> shunt active filter (SAF) applications. In the proposed approach, a novel combined voltage and current (NCVC) control approach is presented for modern <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>3W</i> systems by using voltage and closed-loop current controllers. However, due to the absence of a neutral current, the NCVC is not sufficient for <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>4W</i> system application. Therefore, by considering the current reference parameter generated from the NCVC, a novel harmonic compensation technique (NHCT) is proposed with proper mathematical expressions for the <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>4W</i> application. To show the importance of NHCT over traditional P-Q-R control, the developed MATLAB/Simulink model is tested by using different <i>1</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> nonlinear/unbalanced load conditions. The comparative results indicate that, by using NHCT, the <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>4W</i> system contains a lesser total harmonic distortion (THD) and harmonic mitigation ratio (HMR), less ripple frequency, an improved power factor, a lesser neutral current, and a balanced active/reactive power condition. From the above comparative analysis results, it is found that the overall improvement percentage is 66.78%. The above findings justify the significance of the NCVC and NHCT approach during both unbalanced and non-linear load-based <i>3</i><inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>φ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><i>4W</i> applications.
