Simulation of a single-phase active filter to control harmonics for multiple non-linear loads / Nazarul Abidin Ismail

As the presence of harmonics can create problems, reducing and controlling the harmonics become a widespread concern for most of industries (companies). This thesis proposes an active power filter for single-phase system to control the harmonics for multiple non-linear loads. The active power filter is based on a single-phase inverter with four controllable switches (that is IGBT - Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), a standard H-bridge inverter. The simulation of the proposed circuit is also presented in this thesis together with the results.
