Recent proliferation of non-linear loads such as adjustable-speed motor drives, power supplies and inverters have raised serious concerns on the quality and reliability of electrical distribution networks. These loads draw excessive harmonic currents which interact with a wide range of power system components, causing significant deterioration in the power quality. Although traditional passive filtering has been commonly used to mitigate these problems, recent advances in power electronic converters have sparked the interest in active power filter (APF) approach. This book describes the...
