Active power filters most of the times are employed for elimination of the harmonics created by non-linear loads in power system and for reactive power compensation of linear and non-linear loads. Compensating current is sent by shunt active power filter (SAF) at Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to mitigate current harmonics in the line. Hence sinusoidal nature of current and voltage waveforms ar...

The pulse width modulated power inverters have been increasingly using to convert DC power to AC power in small wind plants. When these inverters are used for power conversion, the integrated output voltage waveform is inevitably distorted. Although increasing the switching frequency is one choice to achieve the smoother output voltage, it adds extra harmonics to the output. There are various t...

A method is presented to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so as to produce the required fundamental voltage while at the same time not generate higher order harmonics. Using a fundamental switching scheme, previous work has shown that this is possible only for specific ranges of the modulation index. Here it is shown for a three DC source multilevel inverter that, by modif...

Multilevel converters (MLCs) are extensively used in medium- and high-power applications. Currently, MLCs also grid integration of renewable sources energy. In this paper a three-phase 11-level MLC topology is investigated which requires smaller number active switches compared to similar existing topologies for the same levels. order eliminate lower harmonics, selective harmonic elimination (SH...
