Active Power-line Conditioners

  • Chapter
Power Quality

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

Nowadays, the active power filters, APFs, can be used as a practical solution to solve the problems caused by the lack of electric power quality, EPQ. The emerging technology of power-electronic devices and the new developments in digital signal processing, DSP, have made possible its practical use. These power filters can fully compensate the nonlinear loads of electrical power systems: harmonics, reactive power, unbalances, etc. So, they can be called active powerline conditioners (APLCs). There are many configurations of APLCs, from shunt and series connection to hybrid passive-active filters. The target is to optimize the design using the advantages of each filter with the different load configurations.
