Active power filters can be used for harmonic elimination, reactive current compensation, and clean delivery of power. The basic principle of APF is to produce a compensation current which is of the same amplitude and opposite phase with harmonic currents and to eliminate unexpected harmonic currents. The shunt APF could compensate the harmonics generated by the load current through injecting compensation current to the grid. This book will have a large potential readership, ranging from scientists and students of wide disciplines to electrical engineers.

It is an essential read for engineers and scientists working in the fields of power electronics and active power filters and advanced control technologies. It will also be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as aerospace, mechanical, electrical design engineers who want to acquire some background in the advanced control of active power filters. On the science side, the book will provide important new information to control engineers, electrical engineers, and scientists. The new data and insights will enable students to have a better grasp of the complicated advanced control with application to active power filters. In short, this book will mark a milestone of an integrative approach that is needed to better understand and better manage the emerging power electronics world. (Imprint: Novinka )
