Studies on line current harmonics' compensation scheme suitable for an electric distribution system

A harmonic current's compensation method suitable for an electrical distribution system is described. The compensation method involves the operation of a harmonic currents generator in parallel with the nonlinear loads and the distribution system. The controlled harmonic current's source is realized using a power transistor inverter. Computer-aided simulation and experimental results obtained in the case of a single phase compensator scheme confirm the validity of the proposed method.
