Study and Simulation of Shunt Active Power Filter

Más información sobre el libro

The book addresses the critical issues of power quality, focusing on voltage and current harmonics in power networks, particularly exacerbated by power electronic converters. It discusses how harmonic distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC) impacts adjacent loads, increases feeder losses, and affects transformer and generator operations. Active power filters (APFs) are highlighted as effective solutions for mitigating these problems. The text emphasizes the challenges of controlling APFs to effectively manage reactive power, harmonics, and unbalanced loading in electrical systems.
