Hybrid Active Power Filters and Power Quality

This book covers the need of Active Power Filters for Power quality Improvements and the classification of them for solving different power quality issues. The hybrid active power filters can be used to mitigate harmonics and thus can be used for Reactive Power Compensation. In many situations, active shunt filters can also compensate nonlinear loads but their rating and cost are much higher compared to a Hybrid Active Power Filter of a combination of one active and one passive element. In many cases, the rating of the AF element in the HF can be reduced to less than 5% of the load, resulting in drastic reduction in its cost.
