This paper proposes a novel modulation scheme to reduce the harmonic content of voltages and currents caused by modular multilevel converters with embedded battery cell when employed for application in energy storage systems grid. The reduction total distortion (THD) is obtained injecting selected harmonics modulating wave phase disposition sinusoidal pulse width modulation. main innovation fre...

In this paper, two algorithms have been developed for allocation and size determination of Active Power Filters (APF) in power systems. In the first algorithm, the objective is to minimize harmonic voltage distortion. The objective in the second algorithm is to minimize the new APF injection currents while satisfying harmonic standards. Genetic algorithm is proposed for these two optimization p...
