Parametric synthesis of passive filter-compensating devices

Abstract

A method of optimal design for passive power filters based on performance optimization in the space of input impedance parameters is considered. The poles and the normalization coefficient of the filter operating impedance are variable parameters. A filter designed with the help of the proposed method satisfies requirements of reactive power compensation, harmonic filtering, and minimizing the amplification of minor harmonics. A design example illustrating the proposed approach is given.
