Abstract

Resonant harmonic filters (RHFs) are effective devices for reducing supply current harmonics when only those load generated harmonics for which they are tuned are present. Other current harmonics as well as supply voltage harmonics may reduce the effectiveness of RHFs in harmonic suppression. To counter such reductions in effectiveness, an optimization based method for selection of filter branch parameters is developed for the conventional RHF. It takes into consideration the interaction of the filter with the distribution system and provides filter parameters that give the maximum effectiveness with respect to harmonic suppression. To accomplish this, a cost function is developed, its behavior examined, and appropriate constraint functions are developed. The results for optimized filters, applied in a test case, are given. © 2006 IEEE.
