Active power filters most of the times are employed for elimination of the harmonics created by non-linear loads in power system and for reactive power compensation of linear and non-linear loads. Compensating current is sent by shunt active power filter (SAF) at Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to mitigate current harmonics in the line. Hence sinusoidal nature of current and voltage waveforms ar...

The pulse width modulated power inverters have been increasingly using to convert DC power to AC power in small wind plants. When these inverters are used for power conversion, the integrated output voltage waveform is inevitably distorted. Although increasing the switching frequency is one choice to achieve the smoother output voltage, it adds extra harmonics to the output. There are various t...

Multilevel converters (MLCs) are extensively used in medium- and high-power applications. Currently, MLCs also grid integration of renewable sources energy. In this paper a three-phase 11-level MLC topology is investigated which requires smaller number active switches compared to similar existing topologies for the same levels. order eliminate lower harmonics, selective harmonic elimination (SH...

The mathematical underpinning of the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique lies in the attempt to represent "accurately" harmonic waveforms using only square forms of a fixed height. The accuracy can be measured using many norms, but the quality of the approximation of the analog signal (a harmonic form) by a digital one (simple pulses of a fixed high voltage level) requires the elimination of...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a new algorithm for harmonic estimation in power systems. It utilizes separable least squares (SLS) technique to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of the harmonics by analyzing the waveform. As well as hybrid techniques have been utilized in this paper to estimate harmonics, real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) utilized to e...

A method is presented to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so as to produce the required fundamental voltage while at the same time not generate higher order harmonics. Previous work has shown that the transcendental equations characterizing the harmonic content can be converted to polynomial equations which are then solved using the method of resultants from elimination th...
