Harmonic Elimination in Single Phase Systems by Means of a Hybrid Series Active Filter (HSAF)

In this paper, a fully-digital-controlled hybrid series active filter (HSAF) for harmonic elimination and reactive power compensation in single phase systems is presented. The HSAF is composed of two single tuned LC filters and a small-rated active filter. Discrete Fourier transformation is used as the control method. Simulation results using MATLAB program shows the effectiveness of the control method. A hybrid series active filter is implemented verifying the accuracy of the control method.
