Improvement Power System Harmonics by Using Active Filter in the Wind Turbine Controller

In this paper, in other to reduce power system harmonics, an active filtering technique is used in the mechanism of wind turbine control. A grid-connected Doubly-Fed Induction Generator(DFIG) is considered in the wind turbine in this article. The active filtering approach is implemented to mitigate current and voltageharmonics which is one of the main concerns of power systems. All power system components are simulated in MATLAB/ SIMULINK software. Simulation results confirm suitable performance of the proposed active filter to mitigate the current and voltage harmonics
