Adaptive Hybrid Active Power Filters

This insightful book delves into advanced thyristor-based shunt hybrid active power filters, focusing on their design, control, and implementation for improved power quality.

This book provides an in-depth exploration of advanced thyristor-based shunt hybrid active power filters (HAPFs) aimed at enhancing power quality in electrical grids. Characterized by a low dc-link operating voltage and a wide compensation range, these filters address significant limitations found in conventional active power filters, particularly the high dc-link voltage requirement and the narrow compensation range of LC-coupling hybrid filters. By integrating innovative design and control strategies, Adaptive Hybrid Active Power Filters offers a comprehensive resource for understanding these advanced technologies.

Comprising ten detailed chapters, the book covers essential topics such as V-I characteristics, cost analysis, and reliability studies of various power filters. It delves into techniques for mitigating harmonic injection in thyristor-controlled components and discusses advanced control methods, including nonlinear pulse width modulation (PWM) and adaptive dc-link voltage control. The book also presents strategies for unbalanced control and selective compensation, providing a thorough grounding in both fundamental and advanced power electronics techniques.

By including practical hardware prototype designs and validation through simulation and experimental results, Adaptive Hybrid Active Power Filters equips readers with the knowledge needed to design, implement, and control these sophisticated power systems. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, and students interested in the field of power electronics and grid stability.
